This rant came in....



In a bygone age, the idea of a democratic republic was still a good one.
...in a time when the only persons who were permitted to vote for parliamentarians,
were persons/citizens who had a direct interest in keeping the nation, its interests, and its citizens,
safe from the designs of foreign enemies, and from the designs of scoundrels within its own borders.





If children are not allowed to cross the road without an adult helping them but can be taught in school that they might not be the sex that is on the outside of their body, — you might live in a nation (state) that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.


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.


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 live in a country where immigrants can carry placards saying that they will kill you, that your September 11th is coming, that they will rape your girls, that they want sharia law and their religion will be supreme yet nothing is done, they are acting with free speech, yet if you voice your anger at what they do to us and you want them stopped, you are islamophobic, intolerant, and charged with racism or causing trouble— you might live in a nation (state) 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 who is confined to a wheelchair or a three-year-old girl 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 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.


THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE IN ALL UPCOMING ELECTIONS.

MOST OF THE IDIOTS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY SAY ONE THING AND DO THE OPPOSITE KNOWING THAT THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED THEM IN DO NOT PAY ATTENTION.

Valkie,

Our LAWMAKERS are merely a true reflection of the moral character of - the majority - of those who elected them.




And, more corrupt than stupid ?

I would say, corrupt AND stupid [in equal measure], just like ourselves.        Tongue



But it is sad.
