A Country Founded by Geniuses,but Run by Idiots

1. 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.

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 might live in a country founded by geniuses but 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,… you might live in a country founded by geniuses but 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 new leaders in Egypt,you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

5. If,in our 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.

6. If an 80-year-old woman and 3 yr old child 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.

7. 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.

8. If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is 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.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. If you pay your mortgage faithfully,denying yourself the newest big screen TV while your neighbor buys iPhones,TVs and new cars,and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage,… you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

12. 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.

Not entirely, but certainly the majority.

I had a mad crush on my second grade teacher. I was nearly heartbroken when she married and moved out of state.

If you must produce a real, hard-copy birth certificate with raised seal when you wish to sign Junior up for Little League, but don’t have to if you wish to exercise the power of the Executive in the federal government, you might live in a country founded by geniuses and run by criminals, elected by idiots.

Personally, I’d change the word “idiots” to “arseholes.”

Good stuff. I’d change the word “idiot” to either Marxists or Traitors.

Peter Lynch ran the Magellan Fund. In one of his books he wrote, “only invest in companies an idiot could run because eventually, one will.”

The items enumerated in the article are not a result of leadership, but of committees and group-think. Real leadership would swoop in and eliminate that list. We haven’t had real leadership since Reagan.

This country was founded by patriots, and is run by career politicians.

Genious founded it, Grifters and Lawyer politicians are destroying it.

When you see a lawyer running for political office you know two things, he is a lousy lawyer, and too lazy to work at his practice.

Aha, that explains the UFOs. They're here not to abduct or interfere but are actually on a dumping run, much like our garbage trucks at landfills........
