NEW
PREAMBLE TO THE
CONSTITUTION

This
is probably the best e-mail I’ve seen in a long, long time. The following has
been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA. This guy should
run for President one day.

‘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. 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.
(This one is my pet peeve...get an education and go to work....don’t expect
everyone else to take care of
you!)

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! GO CATS GO TOPPERS GO CARDS
