A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots !

Attributed to Jeff Foxworthy:

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.

What a country! .........so far !

OBAMA WAS PUSHED BY CLINTONS INTO ENDORSEMENT OF HILLARY IN 2016: BOOK: President Obama made a secret deal to support Hillary Clinton when she runs for president in 2016, campaign sources say, payback for the support her husband gave him in 2012. Bill Clinton’s animosity toward Obama is legendary. A year before the last election, he was urging Hillary to challenge the sitting president for the nomination — a move she rejected. According to two people who attended that meeting in Chappaqua, Bill Clinton then went on a rant against Obama. “I’ve heard more from Bush, asking for my advice, than I’ve heard from Obama,” my sources quoted Clinton as saying. “I have no relationship with the president — none whatsoever. Obama doesn’t know how to be president. He doesn’t know how the world works. He’s incompetent. He’s an amateur!” For his part, Obama wasn’t interested in Bill Clinton upstaging him during the presidential campaign. He resisted giving him any role at the convention. But as last summer wore on, and Democrat enthusiasm waned, chief political strategist David Axelrod convinced the president that he needed Bill Clinton’s mojo.A deal was struck: Clinton would give the key nominating speech at the convention, and a full-throated endorsement of Obama. In exchange, Obama would endorse Hillary Clinton as his successor.
