The top 14 ways that you can tell whether or not you live in a country governed by idiots:
14. If you can get arrested and go to jail for hunting or fishing without a license, but
not for being in the country illegally;
13. If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion;
12. If the only school curriculum permitted to explain creation is evolution, and the government stops a $15 million construction project to keep a rare spider from “evolving” to extinction;
11. If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book, but not to vote in political elections;
10. If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new Muslim leaders in Egypt;
9. If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat;
8. If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched in an airport by the TSA but a
woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched;
7. If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of grammar school for saying his teacher is “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable;
6. If children are forcibly removed from parents who discipline them by spanking while children of addicts are left in filth and drug infested “homes”;
5. If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards,WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing, and free cell phones;
4. If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and require no proof that they have even tried to find work;
3. If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big screen TV and other pleasures, while your neighbor buys iPhones, TV’s and new cars, and then the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage;
2. If being stripped of the ability to defend and protect yourself makes you “safer” according to the government;
and finally the best for last
1. If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more.
I don’t know who wrote this material. However, I do find it rather thought provoking and decided it was worth sharing it with you.
