Bill of No Rights
We, the sensible of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone
get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid any 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, and other liberal, commie, pinko
bedwetters.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that a whole lot of people were
confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim that they require a Bill
of No Rights.
You do not have the right to a new car, big-screen color TV or any other
form of wealth.
More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is
guaranteeing anything.
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.
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 of your relatives
independently wealthy.
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.
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.
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 get together and kill you.
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.
You do not have the right to demand that our children risk their
lives in foreign wars to soothe your aching conscience. We hate
oppressive governments and won't lift a finger to stop you from going
to fight if you'd like. However, we do not enjoy parenting the
entire world and do not want to spend so much of our time battling
each and every little tyrant with a military uniform and a funny
hat.
You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have one,
and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take
advantage of the opportunities in education and vocational training laid
before you to make yourself useful.
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 overabundance of idiotic laws created by
those around you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
