This is too good not to share.......thank you Nelly.
Article IX is my personal favorite.
The following has been attributed to State Representative Mitchell Kaye from GA.
"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 ..
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 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! (Lastly....)
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!
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. Sensible people of the United States speak out because if you do not, who will?

Why I Am A Conservative
I was all set to tell you why Barack Obama might be the best thing that ever happened to the Republican Party, but, on second thought, the Big O turned out to be truly anticlimactic.
I'm doing some political work these days and one of my associates sent in a poem that says it all. There was not an author attached so my apologies to whoever wrote this. If you are out there somewhere, come and claim it!
Why I'm a conservative....

The Mommy Manifesto
There once was a place called Kristenland. In this country, everyone had a roof over their head and food in their belly. Every child had parents who were required to pass a test before they could get their license to procreate. All children are treated with love, respect, and dignity. The healthcare system emphasizes maintaining wellness, but, when medical attention is required, it is readily available to all. The elders are revered for their wisdom and the entire society gladly participates in their care. Not a soul wants for anything because this is the land of plenty.
Alas, Kristenland does not exist. Until it does, we have to live in the real world. I only know a few things for sure and I learned them all from being a mommy:
1. There is a God and He is active. Go see the Grand Canyon, you'll believe.
2. The first day I saw the line turn blue on the stick, I knew it was a baby in there. I did not have to think about when the baby's life began. It is inconceivable to me to end the life of a child. Enough said.
3. What women WANT has changed dramatically in the last 40 years. The trouble is.....what children NEED hasn't changed a bit. Mommyhood requires serious face time!
4. If a 10% tithe is good enough for God, why isn't a 10% tax rate good enough for the government? Let everyone pay the same percentage of their income as a contribution to society and stop the social engineering and class envy! It's gross and unseemly!
5. I hate guns. They kill people. I'll let you keep your stupid guns, but, can we please keep them away from children?
6. Tolerance and acceptance are not the same thing. When did Christians become the last group in America that it was O.K. to hate?
7. There are men and then there are males. They are not the same. Men are a dying breed. If you actually have a real live man - be nice to him. Male bashing is no less disgusting than male chauvinism and it should be treated as such.
8. If you focus on rightness, you get more rightness.
9. We should all agree to disagree agreeably - PLAY NICE!
10. We all want the same things - ie, to live in "Kristenland" - we just have a different opinion on how to get there. Our way is better!
Tomorrow, I'll tell you why I think Barack Obama might be the best thing that ever happened to the Republican Party..............

Soccer Mom Yells Foul
I can't stand it anymore. I feel like I'm watching a speeding train veer off of the rails and I'm powerless to stop it. My friends and family are starting to look glassy-eyed everytime I climb up on my soapbox and beg them to get involved, write a letter, make a call, vote, protest, just do something! Activate! So as a favor to those I love, I'm writing this to channel all of my angst regarding the political landscape. This is how I came to write my first post at 1am in the morning.
Every mom I know is starved for time. You are busy. You don't begin to have time to keep up with what is going on politically. Somewhere in the back of your head, though, you sense that your life is about to change due to the decisions that are being made in Washington D.C. You are seriously concerned about the world you are leaving to your children, but, you try not to think about it too much. You'd like to be better informed and influence a change for the better. I'm going to help you with that.
Next time I'll tell you what issues are keeping me up at night because I, on the other hand, think way too much..................
