A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots by Jeff Foxw
A Country Founded by Geniuses but Run by Idiots
By 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!
How about we give God a reason to continue blessing America!
Amen! (thank you, Jeff)

Great post .Thanks i need that. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Yes, of course...
Except Mr. Foxworthy never made those remarks!
This is old and he has clearly stated he did not. Of course you would never check the validity of anything as long as it met your objective of spreading misinformation.
But this is so typical of a Country founded by geniuses, but occupied by idiots...

IF YOU LIKE YOUR INSURANCE YOU CAN KEEP IT........PERIOD . IF YOU LIKER YOUR DR. YOU CAN KEEP HIM....PERIOD. This what is typical of a Country founded by geniuses but RUN by idiots.

Yes, yes... such horrible lies... costing us so many lives... because so many expected suddenly health care would change into something it had never been before.
We were always able to keep our policies every year and keep our doctors every time our policies changed (oops, I guess yours never did). Sure wish we had that pillar of honesty we had with the last Administration back... LOL...
You people would be funny, if your distorted views weren't so destructive and childish.

So what are you trying to say ...That OBama DIDN'T say these LIES ?

What I'm saying is that your focus on such trivial statements are ridiculous. Yes, technically you could call them lies, or as you seem to prefer LIES, but the truth is that for the vast majority of us, the statements are quite factual. Even the majority of those who can't keep a previous policy, can in fact keep their doctor, if they spend a little time to check the coverage of any new policy they are considering. It is also irrelevant to the vast majority of the population, which receive their insurance through their employers.
But go ahead and think you are upset over this horrible lie, oh, pardon me, I mean LIE that the President tried to dupe us all with... Or, you could just grow up and actually behave like an adult...

Insult all you wont to...doesn't change the fact that Obama is a Lier, a Fraud, Incompetent, a wana be dictator, and the worst pres. this country has ever had....Its just that liberals like yourself and others, WHO elected the 1'st BLACK pres., and he is a joke , you just can't admit that you made a mistake. TRUTH HURTS...doesn't it

I don't see that I have insulted anyone. You apparently wouldn't know what the truth was if it bit you. I made no mistake with my vote and I'm sick of seeing people like you make your baseless accusations and act as if the votes of the majority of us doesn't matter, just because it apparently wasn't the way you voted.
President Obama, (hard for you to write that, isn't it)...easily won election twice by an actual majority, something that hasn't happened in quite some time. But your blind hatred makes you gullible to fall for every nonsensical thing you hear parroted by right wing pundits.

O.K., take this whole thread as an example. It was stated that Jeff Foxworthy wrote this group of jokes related to President Obama's Administration, yet that is a lie, plain and simple. Then you have the nerve to accuse me of being some blind fool. Mr. Foxworthy has publically stated he did not make the statements. Who is being the blind fool exactly?
The truth doesn't hurt me at all, except I'm at a loss to understand how so many of you accept this sort of endless nonsense as true, all the while maintaining that people like myself who actually do some fact checking are blind fools.
When confronted with the truth that what they supported is a lie, you then divert to some other nonsense and try to dismiss me as some fool from another planet.
You come off as a childish bully, trying to intimidate me with your dismissive rhetoric. I'm not some kid, and I have been down this road far too many times. Put up, or shut up...find something accurate to say, or just keep your juvenile insults to yourself, or save them for some timid individual who is intimidated by such attacks.
I joined this forum to have respectful dialog about important issues, not just a bunch of hateful name calling. If you read my posts, you will see that I am not one to just make baseless accusations or comments. l expect others to act accordingly.

Well lets see where to start here...I had to go back and see where all this crap slinging started..It seems as if I agreed with the post, and said it made my day...simply because it was funny...I really didn't give a damn if it was true or not...but it was funny!!!! Then YOU commented about the country being founded by Genius but occupied by Idiots...SO so much for your RESPECTFUL DIALOG....go back and check...You are doing the same thing with this post you did with the 1 I stated....YOU like to throw stones ,but you don't like to get hit by them....YOU need to go back and read all you comments...And if you don't understand why I said what I did,then sorry I can't help you..And I am far from being a bully, I could care less what you believe,who you are,or what you are....Makes no difference to me..we all breath the same air , and share the same fate in the end....BUT BACK DOWN from and insult......NEVER. I hope you find some clarity in you readings...HAVE A GOOD DAY
