A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots!

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 or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a

wheelchair 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 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

diligently sought, but couldn’t be found — 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.

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

If your local government (Chicago) outlawed gun ownership for 'the safety of its citizens' and now boasts the worst murder rate in the country — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

What a country!

How about we give God a reason to continue blessing America?
