NEW
PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION-2008
"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 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 .
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: 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!!!! GET OVER
IT !!!
