New Constitution- Preamble and Bill of Non-Rights

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 .

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!

  1. You do not have the right to breathe clean air, have good roads to drive on, bridges to cross waterways. You do not have the right to mail service at your doorstep daily at a very reasonable cost.

    You do not have the right to firefighters or policemen to protect you.

    You HAVE the right to anarchy, to care for and think only of yourself, as JESUS would.

  5. Yeah. I snagged it from Janeen. I wasn't sure if she wanted me to put her name on it or not since it's closed to contacts only.

  7. Snag away- I did! I only posted this contacts only because I usually don't get political, and I didn't want things to get too ugly.

    I snagged this from Desperado, who I wandered across this morning. It was too good to lose!

  9. I first started a reply here but it got too long so I turned it into a blog instead. I was going to blog about my friend losing her job and then her home and moving into apartments with rental assistance and your blog post motivated me to do so. Thanks for getting me motivated. lol

  10. Well, I've had a couple of posts this morning where folks have asked what got my dander all riled. *shrugs* To be perfectly honest, I'm just tired of seeing all the negativity about the United States. I didn't leave it open to comments, though. I figure if I make someone mad enough, they'll either send me a message or delete me. One of the two.

    Thanks for letting me grab it though. You're right. It's too good to pass up.

  11. I'm just now catching up on things. This was very good Janeen.

  12. Exactly my sentiments Janeen. We also have something like this circulating in the UK where all the nonsense laws apply too.

  13. This is one of my favorite, and it goes back YEARS. It was written by Lewis Napper, but unfortunately people have been changing it as it's been handed around. None of those are, IMO, as good as what he originally wrote. I highly recommend Googling the original.

  14. You betcher booty. AMEN!

    Although, if I would give up this right more often, my booty would be smaller.

  15. Shane, I did Google it.. here are a few differences...

    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 funny hat.

    And the original didn't contain the last two... thanks for the name of the author!
