[Ed. note: These pearls originally ended with 'you MIGHT live ....' I removed the word 'might', because there is no might about it!]
THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE IN ALL UPCOMING ELECTIONS. MOST OF THE IDIOTS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY SAY
ONE THING AND DO THE OPPOSITE KNOWING THAT THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED THEM IN DO NOT
PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT THEY DO BUT ONLY WHAT THEY SAY.
If plastic water bottles are okay, but plastic bags are
banned, — you might live in a nation (state) that was founded by geniuses but
is run by idiots WE DO LIVE IN SUCH A DUMB COUNTRY!!
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a
license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
