Jeff Foxworthy Style
 

I am pummelled incessantly when passing along such things, but this one is too accurate to ignore:


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 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 iPhones, 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.

What a country!

How about we give God a reason to continue blessing America!

I had no idea that you hated America so much. You should move to a better place. If you like, I will pass the hat to buy you a one-way ticket to Haiti. I don't think that ISP's are very plentiful there, so we do run the risk of losing you as a contributor to this forum...damn...

Kinda puzzled...have to ask...Larry, why do you do these things to yourself:confused:

^LOL. The smack of truth.^

I find it interesting that you attack the delivery person, not the package. Start tearing apart the message he posted...

He never said he hated the country. Merely a list of grievances. Which ones do you disagree with? I believe Will Rogers said we have the best politicians money can buy. Personally, I don't think they are idiots. I think some of them are far worse.

Larry's never been one to let facts get in the way of a good trolling:

t'aint Foxworthy, and it's pretty dang easy to figure that out

I'll ask again Ramona. Do you have evidence that proves anything that I've ever posted to not be factual?

I agree, as the anti's here just criticize with out any back up. all of those statements are pretty accurate and not exagerated truths like most of the "you might be a redneck" lines are.

Wha???..didn't you read the link he posted:confused::confused:

Yes. Did you not read the word "style" in my post title?

Style - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary

Well I read it and except for some stretching of the truth in the mortgage bailout scenario they look like an accurate description of the ridiculous road we are going down.

Perpetrating a fraud, no matter how you slice and dice it.

Give me a break.:rolleyes: Anyone who does not understand the meaning of the word "style" is so far gone that they probably have trouble breathing.

How about commenting on the contents?

I will leave that up to you.....So....what are your views on the contents?
