Jeff Foxworthy Speaks

 

We here repeat a post we published on another blog several years ago as it seems as, or more, appropriate at this time.  Jeff Foxworthy here proves great observations and ideas are timeless.  Enjoy:

"If you get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but 
not for entering and remaining in here illegally, you just might 
live in a nation founded by geniuses but 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 just might 
live in a nation that founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a 
check, buy liquor, check out a library book or rent a video, but not 
to vote, you just might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If your government wants to prevent sane, law-abiding citizens from 
owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty 
F-16 fighter jets to the crazy leaders in Egypt, you just might live in a 
nation founded by geniuses, but run by idiots.

If in our largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but 
not one 24-ounce soda, because that might make 
you fat, you just might live in a nation founded by geniuses, but 
run by idiots.

If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a 
wheelchair is strip-searched by the Transportation Safety Administration at an airport, but a woman 
in a Burka or a Hijab is only subjected to a neck area and head 
search, you just might live in a nation founded by geniuses, but run by idiots.

If your government believes the way to eradicate trillions 
of Dollars of debt is to spend trillions more, you just 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 just might live in a nation 
founded by geniuses, but run by idiots.

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

If you pay your mortgage faithfully, deny 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 just might live in a 
nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

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

If the media panders to your openly socialist leader while the IRS targets groups with dissenting views, you just might live in a nation  founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If your government 'cracks down' on legal gun sales to law abiding citizens while secretly supplying illegal guns to Mexican drug cartels, you just might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If your Chicago government outlawed gun ownership for 'the safety of its citizens' and now has the worst murder rate in the country, you just might live in a nation founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots"
