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

    If the only school curriculum allowed to explain how we got here is evolution, but the government stops a $15 million construction project to keep a rare spider from evolving to extinction ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but 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 who runs the government ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but 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 ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but 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 might live in a country founded by geniuses but 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 might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.



    If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more ...you might live in a country founded by geniuses but 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 ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.



    If children are forcibly removed from parents who discipline them with spankings while children of addicts are left in filth and drug infested “homes”... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but 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 might live in a country founded by geniuses but 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 might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

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

    If your children are being protected by "gun free signs" but the politicians who came up with the laws are protected by guns... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

    Sent to my reps

    I sent it to my Congressmen. Coats, Donnelly, and Carson.

    I have always received on-topic replies from Coats and Donnelly. Nothing ever but "we got its" from Carson so I added this to Carson's: If you live in a place where you send email after email to your Congressman and never get anything but a canned response saying your email was received, you shouldn't be surprised. After all, you live in Indiana's 7th District.

    If you are a hunter and don't believe that we should be able to hunt and kill all deer in one season to complete extinction, but then think that preserving an endangered species is standing in the way of evolution.... then you might live in a country founded by geniuses by ran by idiots.

    Just sayin....

    Ok, good list, but one of them has me stumped. How does a species evolve to extinction?

    It doesn't... but others evolve the ability to extinct other species. Humans have evolved as far as the ability to extinct all species... even themselves and have even evolved far enough to understand that just because we can... doesn't mean we should.

    Evolution is survival of the fittest.
    If you cannot survive in the face of mankinds changes to the environment, you are obviously not "fit" to survive.

    Alright I see your point. Although, instead of evolution I think I would probably call that failure to evolve.

    Anyway, again, great list OP!
