A Bill of Non-Rights

[Alboy]

This is probably the best e-mail I've seen in a long, long time. Should be
included in the platforms of both candidates!!!!!
The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye
from GA.
If this is true, this guy should run for President one day...



" We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help
everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt free liberty to
ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time
to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny,
guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters.

We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are
onfused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any
ther form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them,
but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country
is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you!
You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion,
etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.

ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick
screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool
manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans
are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in
need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after
generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than
the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes.

ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be
nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in
public health care.

ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people.
If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be
surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.

ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others.
If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens,
don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a
place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a
life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want
you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we
expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and
vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful.

ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an
American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness,
which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an
over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were
confused by the Bill of Rights.

ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care
where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back
to wherever you came from!

(lastly....)

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's
history or heritage This country was founded on the belief in one true
God.
And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith,
or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase
IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are
uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!!


If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to, and
nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it's about
time common sense is allowed to flourish.  Sensible people of the
United States speak out because if you do not, who will?

Vote - it's as American as an American can be

Still reads pretty true to me. Thanks for bumping it back up.

And after 10 years the situation is much much worse.
