If you can get arrested for
hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the
country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but
is run by idiots.
If you have to get your
parents’ permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but
not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by
geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you must show your
identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a
library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government —
you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government wants to
prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more
than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in
Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by
idiots.
If, in the nation’s largest
city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because
24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation
that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman who
is confined to a wheelchair or a three-year-old girl can be strip-searched by
the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to
having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded
by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If your government believes
that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend
trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is
run by idiots.
If a
seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute”
but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is
perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses
but is run by idiots.
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If being stripped of your
Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the
government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run
by idiots.
God bless,
