NEW PREAMBLE
"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure the blessings of debt-free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny, guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters. We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a Bill of NON-Rights."
ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.
ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone -- not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, express a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and probably always will be.
ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful, do not expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives independently wealthy.
ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing. Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional couch potatoes. (This one is my pet peeve...get an education and go to work....don't expect everyone else to take care of you!)
ARTICLE V: You do not have the right to free health care. That would be nice, but from the looks of public housing, we're just not interested in public health care.
ARTICLE VI: You do not have the right to physically harm other people. If you kidnap, rape, intentionally maim, or kill someone, don't be surprised if the rest of us want to see you fry in the electric chair.
ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others. If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other citizens, don't be surprised if the rest of us get together and lock you away in a place where you still won't have the right to a big screen color TV or a life of leisure.
ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure want you to have a job, and will gladly help you along in hard times, but we expect you to take advantage of the opportunities of education and vocational training laid before you to make yourself useful. (AMEN!)
ARTICLE IX: You do not have the right to happiness. Being an American means that you have the right to PURSUE happiness, which by the way, is a lot easier if you are unencumbered by an over abundance of idiotic laws created by those of you who were confused by the Bill of Rights.
ARTICLE X: This is an English speaking country. We don't care where you are from, English is our language. Learn it or go back to wherever you came from! (lastly....)
ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in God. And yet, you are given the freedom to believe in any religion, any faith, or no faith at all; with no fear of persecution. The phrase IN GOD WE TRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH!!!!
Food for thought

Amen to that, finally someone speaking up with an idea how to fix this country. I do have a problem with article VI and VII. If we the people don't take matters into our own hands against those who would do us harm, then we are expecting the government to subsidize our safety, which makes us weak and easy targets for those who would do us harm. I know there are laws, but anymore they are there to protect criminals rights not our from becoming victims. It's time for an eye for an eye or loosing a hand for stealing, or the next time a robber breakes into a house make sure he leaves in a body bag and give the homeowner a medal on TV so everyone can see.
A friend of mine was over in CHINA a few months ago and was telling me how on the news they showed an execution of a drug runner they caght for speeding. No trial, just him being showed next to the drugs in the trunk and then the police shot him right there on the news. Look at the crime rates in China compared to ours. I bet if we adopted tougher standards like that ours would drop like a brick off the sears tower.
And to think I consider myself a liberal!

Very true but dont be so quick to give up your rights.Innocent until proven guilty.Who knows maybe the real criminal put the stuff in his trunk and was just using the guy as a runner unknown to him.Our system is difficult and really sucks at times but it is live and evolving it just doesnt happen overnight.
Some of these also are a statement against basicly helping people who are down.Yes some abuse the system but I would be ashamed to see anyone starving or uneducated.We are a rich nation of very priviledged people.We can afford to help those in need.
Finally many talk about justice but very few are actually willing or able to take it into thier own hands even if it were legal.We have become a bunch of wimps who are afraid to speak thier minds and back it up.Chance may be an exception.
