Freeper "Bill of Non-Rights"...

[driver8]

I got this from a freeper on another board I post on. This about sums it up.

They are some self centered m-fers...

_______

"We the sensible people of the United States, in an attempt to help
everyone get along, restore some semblance of justice, avoid more
riots, keep our nation safe, promote positive behavior, and secure
the blessings of debt free liberty to ourselves and our great-great-
great-grandchildren, hereby try one more time to ordain and
establish some common sense guidelines for the terminally whiny,
guilt ridden, delusional, and other liberal bed-wetters.

We hold these truths to be self evident: that a whole lot of people
are confused by the Bill of Rights and are so dim they require a
Bill of NON-RIGHTS.

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or
any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally
acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This
country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone --
not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, and express
a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and
probably always will be.

ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you
stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not
expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives
independently wealthy.

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing.
Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will
gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of
subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch
potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another
generation of professional couch potatoes.

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 you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other
citizens, 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 life of leisure.

ARTICLE VIII: You do not have the right to a job. All of us are 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.


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....)
NOW..


ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's
history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one
true God.
And 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!!!!

1. You know what would be fun...

would be to do one of these for the freeps. Things like:

1) You do not have the right to out CIA agents
2) You do not have the right to take drugs illegally even if you are a republican talk show host

etc.

[Peter Frank]

2. Also...

...You do not have the right to eviscerate environmental protections under guises like, "The Clean Air Act."

[Lubernaut]

3. ARTICLE XII

You do not have the right to end sentences with the word "mlach".

[Peter Frank]

4. And...

...You do not have the right to bastardize our language by saying "nucular."

[ck4829]

5. My rebuttal

ARTICLE I: You do not have the right to a new car, big screen TV, or
any other form of wealth. More power to you if you can legally
acquire them, but no one is guaranteeing anything.

Then how is Halliburton getting pork?

ARTICLE II: You do not have the right to never be offended. This
country is based on freedom, and that means freedom for everyone --
not just you! You may leave the room, turn the channel, and express
a different opinion, etc.; but the world is full of idiots, and
probably always will be.

Tell that to Bush. Why is he making people sign loyalty oaths before they can see him?

ARTICLE III: You do not have the right to be free from harm. If you
stick a screwdriver in your eye, learn to be more careful; do not
expect the tool manufacturer to make you and all your relatives
independently wealthy.

Does that also mean that pharmaceutical companies who make bad drugs also have the right NOT to be sued?

ARTICLE IV: You do not have the right to free food and housing.
Americans are the most charitable people to be found, and will
gladly help anyone in need, but we are quickly growing weary of
subsidizing generation after generation of professional couch
potatoes who achieve nothing more than the creation of another
generation of professional couch potatoes.

Why is Karl Rove getting a paycheck with our taxes?

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.

Absolutely correct. Therefore, the Bush Administration MUST be punished for endangering the life of a CIA Agent

ARTICLE VII: You do not have the right to the possessions of others.
If you rob, cheat, or coerce away the goods or services of other
citizens, 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 life of leisure.

Operation Iraqi Liberation - Who declared war to get Iraq oil?

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....)
NOW..

Tell that to Bush, he doesn't speak English.

ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's
history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one
true God.
And 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!!!!

Yes we do. This is a fluid nation. WE are this country's heritage.

[XanaDUer]

11. "You have the right to be free of any historial knowledge of America."

'In God We Trust' was added during the Cold War.

[Obamanaut]

13. Civil War n/t

[petronius]

22. You may be thinking of "under god" in the pledge

which was added during the Cold War. "In god we trust" originated during the Civil War, when it was added to money, although it did not always appear.

It was imprinted on all money and made the national motto in the 1950s, so you're mostly correct. :)

[lildreamer316]

6. You do not have the right

to alter history to suit your needs.

[jedr]

7. Looks like they drank the kool aide and enjoyed it;

If this is what bush was really about , I.m sure we could find some middle ground....How do you get these people to understand that the true aims of the repubs are to destroy the middle class , put the wealth of the nation into the hands of the few, and turn US (you me, our childeren and grandchildern ) into third world slaves... BTW they should read Jefferson and Madison and find out that this country is not based on "the belief of one true god" only the freedom of worshiping what god you choose.

[DBoon]

8. My take on this...

Article I.
Nobody cares if you starve

Article II.
Slaves may be insulted with impunity.
You are a slave. Expect to be treated as such.

Article III.
If someone with enough money harms you, tough. The poor and property-less may be harmed with no consequence.

Article IV.
Nobody cares if you starve.

Article V.
If you can't afford health care, you will die. Tough.

Article IV
If you don't have a job, get used to living in a cardboard box and eating food out of dumpsters.

Article VI
if you manage to commit crimes without using physical violence, you are a winner and you will be amply rewarded.

Article VII
Nobody cares if you starve.

Article IX
If the above doesn't suit you, tough.

Article X.
People who don't speak English don't count. Their culture is useless. The world outside America has nothing to offer.

Article XI.
Shut up and believe what we tell you to believe. You can't change anything anyway. You should be grateful you are not starving.

On Edit: It appears freepers believe it is a great virtue to treat human beings in a way I would not treat a dog.

[calmblueocean]

25. You got it.

Hard to imagine being trapped in a mind like that. Yuck.

[Mr_Spock]

9. I'm gonna bash a Freepers head in for that

So there - how's that fit in to the formula?

[greekspeak]

10. My gosh that is so witty I almost forgot to laugh.

My bill of non-rights the RIGHT needs to look at

1) You do not have the right to force your bent and twisted hateful fundivangelical down the throats of captive school children;

2) You do not have the right to bomb clinics that terminate zygotes
so you can worship them;

3) You do not have the right to invade our bedrooms to control our sexuality;

4) You do not have the right to force everyone in America to be a WASP clone;

5) You do not have the right to stop paying taxes because you are a greedy hypocrite;

6) You do not have the right to commit genocide on American soil by abandoning the poor and helpless to drown in the wake of a hurricane;

7) You do not have the right to all the natural resources in the world so you can have a gas guzzling tank as a vehicle;

8) You do not have the right to commit genocide to steal said natural resources

9) You do not have the right to mix pseudo-science and fairy tales and pass it off on us as science in our classrooms.

10) You do not have the right to hijack American history and retell it as a highly edited FundiVangelical pagent

11) You do not have the right to hijack the symbols of America and turn them into symbols of hatred

12) YOU DO NOT HAVE SPECIAL RIGHTS JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE WHITE, MALE, CHRISITAN, HETROSEXUAL, AND LISTEN TO RUSH LIMBAUGH!!

[johnfunk]

14. A minor change to Article 2 of your edit of the Bill:

It's so much more infuriating if you cange the word "worship" to "fetishize":

2) You do not have the right to bomb clinics that terminate zygotes
so you can fetishize them;

[greekspeak]

29. You have a point there...

Fetishize does have a certain ring of truth to it. I mean, it is not merely worship to drive around town in a vehicle plastered with pictures of aborted zygotes/blastocysts. But then again, I do not want to offend any DUers that have legitimate fetishes...

[driver8]

20. Ha! Well said! May I throw these back at him??? n/t

[Fenris]

12. "Americans are the most charitable people to be found"

Not according to this piece of shit.

[Zuni]

15. He doesn't sound very charitable

he sounds like another money grubbing republican

[Fenris]

17. Zuni! You know there are no such things!

They simply believe that the invisible hand should never be restrained, even if it leaves a large number of people without food or shelter or water.

[Zuni]

21. ahhh, the joys of laissez faire economics

ushering us into the 1890s

[calmblueocean]

26. Hehehe

Zing!

[Redneck Socialist]

16. Jeebus they're stupid

"ARTICLE XI: You do not have the right to change our country's
history or heritage. This country was founded on the belief in one
true God. "

No it wasn't. Read a fucking history book or two would you, please.

I'm pretty much ok with one through three, but they go off the rails pretty quick after that. Though regarding number two it seems to me that fundie conservo-loons are offended by pretty much anything fun and are constantly trying to enforce their uptight prudery on everyone else, so on second thought they can all go cheney themselves.

PS, yes I've been having a bad day. Is it that obvious? :grr:

[CityHall]

18. You do not have the right...

You do not have the right to force your religious beliefs on others.
You do not have the right to topple governments you disagree with.
You do not have the right to to detain people indefinitely without trial.
You do not have the right to keep your children in the dark about sex.
You do not have the right to keep the media from reporting things unfavorable to the military.
You do not have the right to keep people from doing things privately that offend you.
You do not have the right to send poor people to fight your wars for you.
You do not have the right to a cushy government job just because you worked on the campaign.
You do not have the right to use public land for personal profit.
You do not have the right to seize private property for real estate development.

[tinfoilinfor2005]

19. "Secure the blessings of DEBT FREE Liberty"

for you and your great great grandchildren??? Dream on, dummies.

[teamster633]

23. I guess they forgot shrubby's "birth tax".

[calmblueocean]

24. Stupid me, I read this. Now I must gouge my eyes out.

I can't stand this kind of stupidity-glorifying, poverty-glorifying, arrogant, ignorant, holier-than-thou CRAP!

There's always that weird creepy undertone of the self-pitying bully in these right wing forwards. They start off by calling liberals "whiny", but what is this thing if not one long whine?

"Waaaaah! People speak other languages than English! Waah! People don't all believe in my God! Waaaaah!"

Someone hand these guys a box of diapers and a clue.

[driver8]

27. Amen!! I was going to respond to the guy's idiotic post and then I

thought, "What's the fucking use? He doesn't give a shit what anyone else thinks...especially a 'whiny liberal' like me."

What a way to live...going through life always believing that you are right and "oh so holier than thou."

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. And thye founding fathers are doing summersaults

these idiots miss the common welfare part, as well as the right to pursue happiness, truly is a take on John Locke's Pursuit of wealth, but for freepers this is immaterial for they are unfamiliar with US History...

After that... well just fun to see how self centered these assholes are
