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 ... and like the rest of us you need to
simply deal with it.
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.
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.
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.
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, pool tables, weight rooms or a life of
leisure.
ARTICLE VIII:
You don't 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 part time jobs, education and vocational training laid
before you to make yourself useful.
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 overabundance 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. We
welcome you here.. English is our language and like the one you left behind, we
also have a culture. Learn it or go back to the country and the living
conditions you were fleeing.
