Created by Genius run by Idiots

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.

If, in the nation’s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots

If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a wheelchair can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion, while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If American Express or Visa can find anybody, at anytime. But the Federal government can not find the 10 illegal aliens at your neighborhood car wash---you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If it is illegal to embezzle money from government, but the IRS has 2000 employees on its payroll (your payroll) that work full time for unions. That is theft, that is embezzlement of tax dollars by the unions and corruption by those that approve such expenditures.--you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was diligently sought, but couldn’t be found — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys i-Phones, time shares, a wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

He was asked by a Senator "lets exchange some Mexican drug cartel prisoners for the Marine in the Mexico jail " No reply from Obummer. . Hilary said the Marine in Mexico was not on active duty so it is a criminal matter. Guess there are no votes in it for her. . .

as an outsider looking in from over your northern border.... and not one to get involved in the politics and policies of another sovereign nation... I can only shake my head as I read through this post... not in anger or mockery but in the realisation that this is happening in more countries than the US....

Canada, Britain, Australia et al.... none are immune from this new world order of "government for the corporation".. and I won't bore you with problems "up North" in the most expensive city in Canada owned by offshore 'citizens'... but you are not alone.

btw.. wasn't expecting any "likes" but I thought it hit home after reading Mowerman's post...

I will politely bow out and let you Americans deal with this situation...!!!!

Seems the only country in North American not affected is Mexico.

[fullfuel01]

yep as stated above you lot are in a mess there used to be a saying once "only in America" that we all used when something amazing happened it still gets used but for different reasons good luck sorting out you mess just many zeros are in a trillion thats a whole truck load thats for sure

There is one US TV personality who says "you cant fix what you dont acknowledge" some body on here might need to drop that off to the man you have in charge !!!

Also when Im driving down the hwy and I make wrong turn the further I keep going the wrong way before i turn around the longer takes to get back track .Good luck getting back on track

None of this is been a smart ass just simple observation from me and yes we do have our own problems here in Australia but man you have got a doozie over there

I have some good friends from south of the border that I work with and most all say your president is screwed up. When some one like that throws down guns in front of us and then tells the world that it is the American people that is selling them and don't think they will be found out they are stupid.

I feel the only thing deterring a total take over (for want of a better phrase) is citizens weapons haven't been taken. To Quote Yamamoto " if you invade the United States there are as many guns as there are blades of grass" . Course if New Jersey's new gun law passes it is the beginning of the end in the Democrat controlled states. Jersey is trying to pass legislation to ban ALL weapons with fixed magazines that hold more than 5 rounds.(no mods allowed to limit the amount held is allowed in the proposed law.) Meaning your old Marlin 22 with the tube magazine will be illegal.

Cumo just allotted 2.4 million dollars to have police search and seize un registered "Assault" rifles per his list garnered from gun shop sales in the last 10 years Assault rifles in civilian hands. . . High powered rifles in Law enforcement hands. . .

Trenton, NJ --( CBSNEWS.COM/ )

A2006 State legislators to ban ammunition magazines over 5 rounds (A2006) Legislators state it is just a magazine ban.

It will outlaw some of the most popular hunting rifles in the United States, turn their owners into felons, and force them to abandon their property or go to jail for as long as ten years .

A2006 is scheduled to be heard in Assembly committee on Monday), would make the following change to existing law: “‘Assault Firearm’ means…A semi-automatic, a lever action or bolt action rifle with a fixed magazine capacity exceeding 5 rounds.”

This change would ban many common and popular tube-fed .22 rifles, shot guns and medium caliber hunting rifles.

Those in possession of these popular guns would be classified as felons for possession of so-called “assault” firearms – a second degree crime in New Jersey carrying up to ten years in prison, with a minimum mandatory sentence of 3-5 years, with no chance of parole.

A2006 contains no grandfathering to protect current owners, and no amnesty period or procedure for current owners who wish to comply.

Thank you for posting this, I had not seen it before and I could not possibly agree more. What to me is even more disturbing is that this is but a miniscule fraction of the criminally ignorant and dangerous decisions being made by our government. People keep pointing the finger at this politician or that President but to me that is absolutely not the point. The point is our government has swollen so far past the point of being able to support itself or it's policies that its agenda has done a complete 180 - a government for the people, by the people is now an all consuming entity bent on exponential expansion and complete control. And it is entirely our fault. In my opinion this country has been headed in the wrong direction for as long as I've been alive and my father shared the same view. We as a country have lost the ability to compete with the rest of the world because of nothing but greed and ignorance. Common courtesy and common sense are virtually extinct, individual enterprise is crushed by corporate giants, an honest days work for an honest days pay a thing of the past, every kid gets a trophy, laws and regulations and fines and penalties and incarceration for virtually every single anything you can think of...... it just doesn't end. You watch, it won't be too long before you'll have to wear a helmet to take a shit....and that'll only be if you have the proper licenses and permits of course. I do not at all like what I see in the foreseeable future so I'm out.....4 more years here and then the wife and I are disappearing way out into the woods......may sound a bit harsh but after that I really don't care what happens, I'll watch all the lemmings run off the cliff. We as a population have allowed this disturbing situation to occur right in front of us, it sure doesn't seem to me that society as a whole is getting any brighter, the politicians more ethical, or the system being less bloated or corrupt.....and it is going to take something drastic to alter the course we are on......it doesn't matter who's the captain, it's still the Titanic and it's inevitable.....we're going down.

linrick1,

Excellent thoughts and I agree 100%. I used to think we were just spinning around but now we are going down the shitter!

[41chevy]

It started with Woodrow Wilson, accelerated with FDR, slowed with Ike and JFK. Johnson and his Great Society was the post WWII beginning of the end with tapping the Social Security fund for everything, Urban renewal, welfare and CORE. The current president has accelerated a decline, what took a century for Great Briton to lose it's global domination down to 5 years for us. . . and he's not done yet. Wait til this winter when there is limited power and heat from the new EPA regs.
