New Preamble

[Lone Gunman]

NEW PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION
>
> Somebody said this was probably the best e-mail he'd seen in a long,
> long time. The following has been attributed to State Rep Mitchell
> Aye from GA.
> 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 confused 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 other 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 a 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. (This one
> is my pet peeve...get an education and go
> to work....don't expect everyone else to take care of you!)
>
> 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. (AMEN!)
>
> 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?
>

Good one Gunny. Now we need to get our CONgress Critters to quit buying votes by promising those non-rights.
