NEW PREAMBLE TO THECONSTITUTION

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 guidelinesfor the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, and delusional. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lotof 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 havethe 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.


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 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.




Learn it or go back to wherever you came from!


(and last but not least....)



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 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!





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?

Why the shouting???

[KP3FT]

I agree with all of it except for Article V and Article X. A large segment of our population already gets free healthcare paid for by people who are not afforded that same luxury. If Article V is to be taken seriously, then either scrap free healthcare for the privileged or give it to all the other hard-working taxpayers who have none or spend most of their paycheck to get it. Don't use the "socialize medicine" scare tactic, it's already socialized, just not for the entire society.
Article X is too harsh, especially considering that America actually has a multitude of native languages: Navajo, Cherokee, Taino, you get the idea...

Why the shouting???

In order to distract from the stupidity of the post. What else?

[W4BD]

Well I'm not shouting but this came in an email and I thought it would stir some interest amongst all of us so here it is just copyied and pasted. No edit or nothing.

Well I guess you might say I am one of those on Socialized Medicine because I am on Medicare. The Powers to Be left us Old Folks out on some very important services that if we had would save the Gov. much money in the log run. Dental care is the first thing we need because a lot of us still have all or most of our teeth ( I still have 31) and they go bad as you age. Bad teeth can cause all kind of infections because of the germs they give off and not to mention the poison they put into the Blood. The next thing we need is Eye Care in the fiorm of Glasses like every 2 years. Next is hearing care. My hearing has gone down considerably in the last 2 years. My Union Insurance picked up as a supplemental to Medicare so if Medicare don't pay neither will my Union Insurance. A Dentist will charge $150 to 200 just to pull a tooth down here in SW Ga. So far I haven't found one who will give a break to Old Folks.
