A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots
~ by Jeff

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing
without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by
geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you have to get your parents’ permission to go
on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by
geniuses but is run by idiots.
If you MUST show your identification to board an
airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a
video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by
geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government wants to prevent stable,
law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds,
but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a nation that was founded by
geniuses but is run by idiots.
If,
in the nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one
24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you
might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl
who is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the
airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck
and head searched — you might
live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
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 nation that was founded by
geniuses but is run by idiots.
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 nation that was founded by
geniuses but is run by idiots.
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes
and more government regulation and intrusion, while not working is rewarded
with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free
cell phones — you might live in a
nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.
If the government’s plan for getting people back
to work is to provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of
unemployment checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment
was diligently sought, but couldn’t be found — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run
by idiots.
If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying
yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time
shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government
forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by
geniuses but is run by idiots.
If being stripped of your Constitutional right to
defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by
geniuses but is run by idiots.
What a country! How about we give God a
reason to continue blessing America! Amen (thank you Jeff)
