Food For Thought
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, check in at the doctor's office, buy liquor, or check out a library book, but not to vote for who runs the government ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but 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 country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teachers "cute," but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If children are forcibly removed from parents who discipline them with spankings while children of addicts are left in filth and drug infested homes... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing and free cell phones ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If the government's plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to prove they applied but cant find work ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more "safe" according to the government ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
If you are offended by this article, I'll bet you voted for the idiots who are running, and ruining our great country.

There are so many other outlandish actions that can be added to that list.
It is sad that the idiots in charge are so successful at making so many people cower into submission.
A prime example of the idiotic actions is that now being proposed by the Boy Scout leaders:

No matter who you voted for, you voted for an idiot.
PS.
They really are not idiots, they just don't give damn about you and I. All they seem to care about is the corporate money and getting re-elected to the cushiest job on the face of the earth.

Sarge I agree totally but have to ask if you voted for any of the idiots
Not only Sarge, but you and I and every Tom, Dick, Harry and their dogs who cast votes voted for them, no matter which side of the isle they sit.
Just look at them. We are drowning in red ink. We have people who lost thousands of homes to bank schemes. We have people out of work and have a hard time finding any. We have natural disasters that left thousands in need. Our infrastructure is falling apart. The list is long. So what the hell these clowns are producing?...Nothing...They are busy trying to dig the graves of each other's political life. They are busy with trivial crap, that in importance scale, way down the line. They do their best to look like they are working and many naive souls in the country swallow it.
So, tell me if we collectively didn't vote for a bunch of smart "idiots".

Sadly for you, if the government believed that (and the current one does not) the government would be right for once. No country or economy ever budget-slashed it's way back to prosperity. :thumbup:

no - we suffer from much of the same idiocies of administration over on this side of the pond (UK)
I did notice that the NRA had slipped in a couple of bits of propaganda...
much of the problem with Gov't arises from adversarial politics where the party in opposition must routinely rubbish any proposal from the party in power, whether reasonable or not, & long term planning = 'will this get me re-elected'

Why would you think that would make me happy RealBohemian? Just because some others are corrupt, should we justify to be one also?...But unfortunately you are right in that the MONEY will always corrupt. Without it one can not have the POWER. And yes, that has been the way everywhere.
Now I hope you are happy for further depressing me.
