A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by IdiotsAttributed to Jeff Foxworthy:<\/p>\n

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally \u2014 you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.<\/p>\n

If you have to get your parents\u2019 permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion \u2014 you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.<\/p>\n

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 \u2014 you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.<\/p>\n

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 \u2014 you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.<\/p>\n

If, in the nation\u2019s 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 \u2014 you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.<\/p>\n

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 \u2014 you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.<\/p>\n

If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more \u2014 you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.<\/p>\n

If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is \u201ccute,\u201d but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable \u2014 you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.<\/p>\n

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 \u2014 you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.<\/p>\n

If the government\u2019s 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\u2019t be found \u2014 you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.<\/p>\n

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 \u2014 you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.<\/p>\n

If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself makes you more \u201csafe\u201d according to the government \u2014 you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.<\/p>\n

What a country!<\/p>\n

How about we give God a reason to continue blessing America!<\/p>\n
