We Have A Country Founded By Geniuses, But Run By Idiots

My grandfather had a name for the people in Washington, he called them educated jerks, boy was he ever right. I think my grandfather is looking down from Heaven saying to us all, “See, what did I tell you.” I can’t help wondering if these politicians took a class in stupidity when they were in school.

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally …
you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

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 … you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

If the only school curriculum allowed to explain how we got here is evolution, but the government stops a $15 million construction project to keep a rare spider from evolving to extinction …
you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

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 who runs the government …
you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

It's run by idiots because most of the population are idiots.
