The New Constitution
« on: May 28, 2003, 11:56:58 AM »
The following has been attributed to State Representative
Mitchell Kaye from GA. The guy should run for President.....
       
"We, the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to
help everyone get along, restore some semblance 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 and other liberal bed-wetters. 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.
       
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're just not interested in public health care.
       
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. (Yeah!)
       
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 unencumbered 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, we also have a culture. Learn it or go back to the country and the living conditions you were fleeing.


If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have to,
And nothing tragic will befall you if you don't. I just think it is
About time common sense is allowed to flourish -- just call it "The
Age of Reason Revisited".
       
       
       
       
Some good ideas in here....
:D :D

I don't have a big problem with non-english speaking people. If they can understand me and I they, without the use of a common language, then theres no problem.

from Snopes:

"Mitchell Kaye,  a Georgia state representative from Marietta, is not the originator of the piece. The famed "Bill of No Rights" was written in 1993 by Lewis Napper, a self-described amateur philosopher and from Mississippi who ran for a U.S. Senate seat in 2000 as a Libertarian. "

You may not have a problem with them now rip, but it is a real big problem in the long run.

FYI, i am hispanic, immigrated from Colombia in '97. Been in FLA since then (wishing to move further north, I hate this heat..but watching Shuttle makes it worth it!).

Its shocks me and ashames me that the hispanic community (they love to label themselves.. sigh) in Fla. literally DEMANDS spanish to be the official language in everything. Heck people have sued companies because they signed contracts in a language they did not understand. English.

If one is going to live anywhere else but where one was born, the last thing one should do is impose one's language and values on others. I consider myself a GUEST here.

I'm learning Japanese and even looking for someone to teach me Marshallese; the other 2 countries i'd like to give a try to live in. I dont expect to go to those countries and start speaking english or spanish and have them understand me. Even less demand they change all their street signs, legal documents, laws, etc , etc to conform to the ones im familiar with.

What the hispanic community has done in florida is outright ludicrous and shameful. Its even sadder that PC and all this minority rights crapola you gringos shoulder has been abused to the point where "we" become more equal in the eyes of the law than Bob Smith, 8th generation "american".

Sry this pisses me off. Gah!

know your rights
« Reply #6 on: May 28, 2003, 08:25:09 PM »
This is a public service announcement
With guitars
Know your rights
All three of them

Number 1
You have the right
Not to be killed
Murder is a CRIME!
Unless it was done
By a policeman
Or an aristocrat
Know your rights

And Number 2
You have the right
To food money
Providing of course
You don't mind a little
Investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers
Rehabilitation

Know your rights
These are your rights
Wang

Know these rights

Number 3
You have the right
To free speech
As long as
You're not dumb enough to actually try it

Know your rights
These are your rights
All three of 'em
It has been suggested
In some quarters that this is not enough!
Well...

Get off the streets
Get off the streets
Run
You don't have a home to go to
Smush

Finally then I will read you your rights

You have the right to remain silent
You are warned that anything you say
Can and will be taken down
And used as evidence against you

Listen to this
Run
