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...

I thought that Sarah Palin had sewed up the support for right-wing
nitwit candidates?
There's scarcely room for two, and in any event George W.Bush jnr has
done enough damage to the country to similar candidates unelectable
for a genration or two.

"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
liberal 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!)

While - of course, no right-winger is going to guarantee that the
local schools are any good. That could involve raising the local
property taxes. Never mind that the local businesses are starving for
want of educated school leavers, the United States were established by
tax avoiders for tax avoiders.

ARTICLE V:

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 have the right to get any infectious disease you like and hang
around any public place you like, infecting as many citizens as it
takes to demonstrate that this is a silly idea. Multiple drug
resistant tuberculosis is popular, but if you want to make some money
at the same time by performing sexual services, there a a wide range
of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV-AIDs that makes the
point just as well.


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 fry in the electric chair.

Unless of course you take care to join the armed forces first.

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.

Lawyers and bankers are largely exempt from this article, provided
that their defalcations are on a sufficiently large scale

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!)

Since the provison of education and vocational training has to be paid
for out of taxes, we don't plan on laying out all that much on
education and vocational training, but we urge to take advantage of
what is available. Don't expect to be fed or housed while you are
being trained - our kids can live at home and drive their cars to
school, and you are going to have to rely on your parents and
relatives for the same support.

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!
(Lastly....)

And by "English" you are to understand the dialect spoken in my part
of North America.

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 true God. And yet, 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!!!!"  GET OVER IT !!!

The founding fathers wouldn't have liked it, but they were all dead
before the fundamentalist nitwits added it to the currency.

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.

Despite the damage it would do to his politcal career.

Sensible people of the  United States speak out.

They've finally got around to ejecting Goerge W Bush Jnr, and his
female alter ego, Sarah Palin.
That should make the message clear enough.
