New Preamble to the Constitution

'We the sensible people of the United States, in an attemptto 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 tobe 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, bigscreen 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.

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 ussure 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.

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!

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one true 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 WETRUST is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with it, TOUGH! GET OVER IT.

Two Websters on America

Why is America in the mess it's in today: politically and socially? Noah Webster of dictionary fame and US Senator Daniel Webster had the correct answers well over 160 years ago, but of course, Americans (especially liberal/socialists) are too smart, refined and sophistocated to heed and apply what these two great Americans had to say. Besides, the liberals consistently argue their strawman that such application would violate the separation of "church and state". But in spite of them, consider these quotes:

"The principles of genuine liberty, and of wise laws and administrations, are to be drawn from the Bible and sustained by its authority. The man, therefore, who weakens or destroys the divine authority of that Book may be accessory to all the public disorders which society is doomed to suffer."-- Noah Webster, author of Webster's Dictionary and the "Father of American Scholarship and Education"

“No truth is more evident to my mind than that the Christian religion must be the basis of any government intended to secure the rights and privileges of a free people.”
-- Noah Webster, author of Webster's Dictionary

“The Bible is the Chief moral cause of all that is good, and the best corrector of all that is evil, in human society; the best book for regulating the temporal concerns of men, and the only book that can serve as an infallible guide.”
-- Noah Webster, author of Webster's Dictionary

“All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”
-- Noah Webster, author of Webster's Dictionary

“In my view, the Christian religion is the most important and one of the first things in which all children, under a free government ought to be instructed.”
-- Noah Webster, author of Webster's Dictionary

“It is the sincere desire of the writer that our citizens should early understand that the genuine source of correct republican principles is the Bible, particularly the New Testament or the Christian religion.”
-- Noah Webster, author of Webster's Dictionary

"God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it."
-- Daniel Webster, US Senator

"I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe... Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger."
-- Daniel Webster, US Senator

California Burnin...

California the "golden" state has in fact turned into California the burning state. Here in the normally beautiful Gilroy area, smoke and haze fills our valley again, creating some of the worst air pollution I've seen since living here for 8 years. Add the high outside temperatures, and we have a real health mess, especially for folks who have asthma. While recent lightning strikes appear to have started most of the hundreds of fires currently still burning in the state, there are some fires started by crazies who have a profound pathological sickness to enjoy the misery of others in every possible way. Am I incorrect, but don't we see more and more of this kind of pathology creeping into every aspect of our modern American culture? It well demonstrates the fruit of the 1960's saying "If it feels good, do it!" The great god of Self has been elevated so much in American culture that individual duty, truth and responsibility are in many ways dead, rotting in a societal corpse of relativism. America the Beautiful has in may ways, I'm afraid, become America the Ugly.
