1. If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally, you live in a country run by idiots.

2. If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion, you live in a country run by idiots.

3. If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book, but not to vote on who runs the government, you live in a country run by idiots.

4. If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy leaders in Egypt, you live in a country run by idiots.

5. If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat, you live in a country run by idiots.

6. If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched, you live in a country run by idiots.

7. If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more, you live in a country run by idiots.

8. If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of grade school for saying his teacher’s “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable, you live in a country run by idiots.

9. If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing and free cell phones, you live in a country run by idiots.

10. If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working, with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to prove they applied but can’t find work, you live in a country run by idiots.

11. If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government, you live in a country run by idiots.

Whoever wrote that wants their generation to take credit for everything except the one thing that truly matters: they let their children become the kind of idiots who vote for a-holes like Clinton and Obama. Just a slight oversight there

As a wise man said on CNBC a few years ago....

China has central planning by engineers, scientists, and mathematicians, and the US has central planning by lawyers.

Neither is good, but by definition, we lose.

But, but, but...there are koolaid drinking FReepers that tell me if I DON’T vote for idiots that are RINO’s and part of the problem then I’m a moron.

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result!

NO MORE RINO’s.

It was mostly the young people of this nation who elected Obama and the Democratic Congress.

Mostly, to be sure. And yet I have the sad report that some my age (baby-boomers) think it to be a matter of true love when two men confuse their orifices in the interest of sexual gratification, and who, along the same lines, think Obama to be a Savior of some kind.
