A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by I***ts!
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 i***ts.
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 a******n — you might �live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by i***ts.
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 v**e for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that �was founded by geniuses but is run by i***ts.
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 i***ts.
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 i***ts.
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 i***ts.
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 i***ts.
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 i***ts.
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 i***ts.
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 i***ts.
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 i***ts.
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 i***ts.
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 i***ts.
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 i***ts.
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 i***ts.
What a country!
How about we give God a reason to continue blessing America?

I too, am always right, except for the times I am not.
KANKUNE: That is so true, and funny, ....and sad, it almost makes one want to cry. I wonder if God isn't crying? But this is somewhat dated and wa apparently written while Obama was president. I'd like to see an updated version of this.
