"If we concentrated on the really important stuff in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles"
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally ...you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
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 might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If the only school curriculum allowed to explain how we got here is evolution, but the government stops a $15 million construction project to keep a rare spider from evolving to extinction ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
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 who runs the government ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
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 new leaders in Egypt ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
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 might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
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 might live in a country 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 country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher "cute," but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If children are forcibly removed from parents who discipline them with spankings while children of addicts are left in filth and drug infested “homes”... you might live in a country 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 EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing and free cell phones ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
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 might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more "safe" according to the government ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
We let these political idiots buy and lie to get our votes. The political arena is nothing but Roman bread and circuses all over again. Only from within were we defeated. Now, we must fight again. The ballot box must be our first battlefield and communication with those we elect be our ammunition. The country was taken from idiots once before; perhaps we can do it again, with no shots fired.
I pray that this is what comes to pass. You know the rest.
If the words formed by geniuses make sense to the listener/reader .. the listener/reader is also genius ... we just needed more time to form the words ourselves.

This is a paraphrase of something I already read.
If you are not supposed to judge all muslims by the acts of
a few crazy people ut the acts of a few American crazy people is enough to judge all Americans who own guns...
This list should go viral. Everyone who sends emails to friends has an ideal message here.
Or take just one comment and tweet it. Keep the points circulating. Maybe some of our lo-info friends will understand a bit more about where our country is headed.
Great idea!!!!!!!!
