A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots

foxworthyI received this email today…thought it was worth sharing.

If plastic water bottles are okay, but plastic bags are banned, — you might live in a nation (state) that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots WE DO LIVE IN SUCH A DUMB COUNTRY!!

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.

A Visitor from the Past

This short video  based on a poem written by Thelen Paulk and directed by Stan Arthur is one worth watching in its entirety.  When discussing freedoms lost,  some of my liberal friends shrug their shoulders in denial.  ” We actually have more freedom today,” they reply.  Perhaps they are correct… we have more freedom to use drugs,  commit crimes and curse our teachers etc.  Yet, our God-given liberties are being destroyed each day by those who are ignorant and want a big government to dictate their lives and provide for them.  I hope you enjoy and benefit from this video.
