Default Is Our Country Run By Idiots, Perpetually?

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without
a license, but not for being in the country illegally...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If you have to get your parent's permission to go on
a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get
an abortion...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If you have to show identification to board an airplane,
cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book,
but you don't have to show ID for the right to vote on who
runs the government...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding
citizens from owning gun magazines with more than
ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy
new leaders in Egypt...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If, in the largest city of the country, you can buy two
16-ounce sodas,but not a 24-ounce soda because the
government says a 24-ounce sugary drink might make
you fat...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched
by the TSA but a woman in a hi-jab is only subject to
having her neck and head searched because of her religion...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If your government believes that the best way to
eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions
more...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school
for saying his teacher's "cute," but hosting a sexual
exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly
acceptable...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If hard work and success is rewarded with higher taxes
and more government intrusion, while not working
is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid,
subsidized housing, and free cell phones...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If the government's plan for getting people back to
work is to reward them with 99 weeks
of unemployment checks with no requirement to
prove they applied for it...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.

If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself
makes you more "safe" according to the government...
Then you might live in a country run by idiots.


Uh, Ya?
