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  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  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  that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

Ok, so it appears that Jeff Foxworthy wasn't the author. I still agree with it!!

[Tom Dooley]

It doesn't matter the author, the sad thing is its the truth.

These are some sad times for sure, and I really hate for my kids sake. They have no idea what's in store for their future.  God Bless, Steve

If it was'nt so true it would be funny. IMO it's a crying shame what has become of our great country. George,Ben and the rest of our founding fathers would NOT be happy.
