jimr - > TEHACHAPI SAFETY, SECURITY AND POLITICAL ISSUES -> REVISED PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION!
REVISED PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION!
PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION

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, delusional and other bed-wetters. 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.

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.

A RTICLE 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 American 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!

I agree with most of it.  This is not the original copy, it has been hacked a few times.  The original copy was Good!!!  I would love to see health care for all Americans, especially our children.  We are behind the times in this respect.   I also don't believe our history started in 1776, the people  we took this land from believed in many Gods.   I don't think we should take away the saying In God We Trust either when referring to America... that's ridiculous.  We as Americans have the right to believe in anything we want, but we don't have the right to take away the beliefs of others.   That's why I want separation of religion and state.   Let us as Americans be as ONE, we can practice our many different religions without involving the country as a whole.   I think this will bring us all closer.   We Americans, AS ONE.   Couch potatoes irritate me to no end, however Welfare covers so much more than that.  I would like to see welfare revised to help the ones that truly need it.  Right now, most recipients of welfare are single mothers, I would like to see more education and job opportunities thrown their way.   I would LOVE to see the rich taxed at the same percentage as the rest of us... this would take care of many of our concerns and lower the middle class Americans taxes tremendously.

If Americans could love thy neighbor we wouldn't need laws to protect ourselves from each other.  I like the idea that America will NOT tolerate bigotry, and if we have to prevent bigotry by having laws that will punish bigots... good.
