Jeff would be proud!

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 “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 you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest big screen TV while your neighbor buys iPhones, TV’s and new cars, and the government forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage … 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.

As proven by certain non-genius posters who can't connect dots and think the very mention of 'schools' is all inclusive. See above.

Default ID to Vote

BS - I had to show a picture ID to vote in New Hampshire even though the person checking the list knew who I was.

The rest of the OP's opinions are equally invalid.

That is entirely up to your State. In Alaska, if you do not have ID or are not voting in your district, you are given a provisional ballot which is counted last. The first ballots counted are those cast by those in their voting district who presented valid ID. The next set of ballots counted are the absentee ballots. The last set of ballots may not even be counted if the candidate concedes or if the total votes thus far makes it obvious who won.

Actually, at least one school district is providing abortions without parent consent. The State of Washington school clinics are arranging abortion appointments through a free taxi service to take girls to abortion clinics. This was discussed herein some time ago, and was perfectly okay by abortion proponents because the school did nothing illegal. The parents signed a consent form to allow the students to be treated at the school for earaches, headaches, and to obtain birth control from the school. The state of Washington does not require parental consent for abortions. The students were told that if they did not tell their parents, it would be free.

"""A conversation with Lisa Krogman, RN, a school nurse at the Chief Sealth High School clinic confirms the following: Without parental consent or notification, girls as young as 13, facing sudden and terrifying news of an unplanned pregnancy, can excuse themselves from class for "reproductive health care" appointments.

Ms. Krogman also confirmed that school based clinics set up abortion appointments through "Hopelink", a free taxi service the schools use to ferry the scared and confused girls to abortion clinics. And the Department of Social and Health Services of Washington pays for the cost of the abortion through Medicaid.

When AIW spoke with one of the dispatchers for Hopelink, we were told that they "take lots of those calls", and that they take students to both various Planned Parenthood locations and the late-term abortion center Cedar River Clinic in Renton."""
