The Right Winger is
proud is display the Bill of No Rights:
Author Unknown (My personal
favorite)
"We, the sensible people of the United
States, in an attempt to help
everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice,
avoid any 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 terminall 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 that they
require a Bill of No 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 they 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 don't have the right to demand that our children
risk
their lives in foreign wars to soothe your aching
conscience. We hate oppressive governments and won't lift a finger to
stop you from going to fight if you'd like. However,
we do not enjoy parenting the entire world and do not want to spend so
much of our time battling each and every little tyrant
with a military uniform and a funny hat.
ARTICLE IX: You don't have the right to a job. All of us sure want
all
of you to have one, 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 X: 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
overabundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who
were confused by the Bill of Rights."
