Let's adopt the following two amendments to the U.S. Constitution:

"The Congress shall have the power to declare war, and this time we
really do mean it."

"No person shall be denied life, liberty, or
property without due process of law, and this time we really do mean
it."




THE BILL OF NO RIGHTS

We, the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone
get along, restore some resemblance of justice, avoid any 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. 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 that they require a "Bill of NO 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 ... 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 by telling them they
didn't warn you not to stick the screwdriver in your eye.

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 should be wary of public health care or
public anything.

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 (yes, capital punishment).

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
not encumbered 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,
w
e also have a culture. Learn it or go back to the country and the living
conditions you were fleeing.

Here's a great quote from Ann Coulter

"The U.S. military has had considerably more success in turning Iraq
around than liberals have had in turning the ghettos around with

their
40-year 'War on Poverty.' So far, fewer troops have been killed by
hostile fire since the end of major combat in Iraq than civilians

were
murdered in Washington, DC, last year (239 deaths in Iraq compared

to262 murders in DC.)

The DC death stats, if true, were for a full year.

"The deaths bring to 500 the number of U.S. service members who have
died since the Iraq conflict began on March 20."

How many from other nations, including Iraqis killed by US forces,
have
there been? The number of Iraqis killed is a deep secret.

But if you are even a suspect for anything it seems your family and
relatives
can be taken off to concentration camps and your home destroyed.

Not to mention there has been no "40-year War on Poverty," either...

"Liberal" or otherwise.
