They keep talking about drafting a Constitution for Iraq .... Why don't we just give them ours? It was written by a lot of really smart guys, it has worked for over 200 years, and we're not using it anymore.

The real reason that we can't have the Ten Commandments posted in a courthou se is this:
You cannot post 'Thou Shalt Not Steal,' 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery,' and 'Thou Shall Not Lie' in a building full of lawyers, judges and politicians...It creates a hostile work environment
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, and 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 if it would turn out the
same way as current public
housing, we're not interested in
public health care.
ART ICLE 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 put away for
the rest of your sorry life.
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 America 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.</B>
Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!
(and
Last but not least....)
ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right</B>
to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one God. 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!
If you agree, share this with a friend.
No, you don't have to,
and nothing tragic will befall
you if you don't.
I just think it's about time common
sense is allowed to flourish.
Sensible people of the
United States , speak out, because
if you do not, who will?
