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 WE DO LIVE IN SUCH A DUMB COUNTRY!!
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 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.
If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more "safe" according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

In all honesty, I defaulted on my mortgage in 2008. Lost my house. But I didn't buy extra stuff or take advantage of it. I was embarrassed enough as it was. I rented for 6 years, rebuilt my credit, worked 2 jobs, and now own a house again. So even middle class working people can "default" but sometimes - especially when you are "underwater" by $150,000 - there isn't a whole lot you can do about it when you get an offer to buy your house and the mortgage company wouldn't accept it.
ReplyDeleteCould you share how you rebuilt your credit?? I had an account closed out when I lost a job 6-7 years ago and thought I was doing good by not getting anymore credit and now I can't get credit because I gave no FICO score
DeleteWell said
ReplyDeleteHe has what's called "common sense"and, of course, is also very humorous!
ReplyDeleteJeff Foxworthy has hit the nail right on the head,we live in a country run by greedy idiots but I'm not sure it is politically correct to say that. I think I'll go hide in my safe space,he'c triggered an anxiety attack.
ReplyDeleteActually he should say - you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by liberals.
ReplyDelete@9:01 ...you say despite us having a republican congress. We need to get a backbone and become the change rather than sitting back and pointing the finger.
ReplyDeleteIf you can get a few years in prison for putting a noose on a statue of a black guy, but nothing, nada, zipo, for drawing a black guy hung by a noose, you live in a county run by fools and idiots!
