Food for thought...who's running our country?

After a busy, busy work week and making the final stretch toward an equally busy weekend, I am cheating today and just sharing a funny email I received. Well, maybe not so funny when you think of how true it is. Happy Weekend!

Food For Thought:

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 parents’ 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.

Have another one? Add them to the comments section below! E.g., When a president asks taxpayers to fork over almost $4 billion to pay for food & healthcare for thousands of children spilling into our country illegally, while American kids and their families are suffering financially, and our U.S. Veterans are dying while waiting for healthcare....then you might live in a country.....well, you know the rest.
