DiveDeepSix Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 True, sad and scary! A Country Founded by Geniuses but run by idiots By Jeff Foxworthy 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 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 and 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 and 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 founded by geniuses and run by idiots. If, in the nations largest city, you can buy two 16 oz sodas, but can't buy one 24 oz soda because 24 oz of a sugary drink might make you fat---you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If an 80 year old woman or a three year old girl who is confined to a wheelchair 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 founded by geniuses but 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 and 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 may live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones--you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If the government's plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not working by granting 99 weeks of unemployment checks without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was diligently sought but couldn't be found--- you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but 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 TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage---you might live in a nation founded by geniuses but 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 country founded by geniuses but run by idiots. What a country. How about we give God a reason to continue blessing America! Amen (Thank you Jeff) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
