Food For Thought

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




If you have to get your parents' permission to go on a field trip or take an
aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion, you 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 not to vote on who runs the
government, you 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 leaders in Egypt, you live in a country run by idiots.




If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce
soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat, you 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
hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched, you 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, you live in a country run by
idiots.




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




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




If the government's plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize
NOT working, with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to
prove they applied but can't find work, you live in a country run by idiots.




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

We have a Republican in the White House.
The Supreme Court is dominated by Republican nominees.
The Senate is controlled by Republicans.
The House is controlled by Republicans.

I'd agree - we live in a country run by idiots.

Solution: fix the biggest hole in the boat first. Cut the damned military budget. It needed to be cut even BEFORE they just got a whopping 700 BILLION just to fuel imperialistic aims.

While we're at it, tax the churches...or rather, remove the tax exempt status of churches who use their dogma to influence public policy.
