>
> ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing.

> nothing more than the creation of another generation of professional

>
> 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

> 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

> ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us sure 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. (AMEN!)

> 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! (Lastly....)
>
> ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's history or

> 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 WE TRUST
> is part of our heritage and history, and if you are uncomfortable with
> it, TOUGH!
>
> If you agree, share this with a friend. No, you don't have
