I find it weird that they compared Denver to Texas. Doesn’t Colorado now have stricter gun laws?

If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from
owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty

nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If, in the nation?s largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but
not one 24-ounce soda, because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make
you fat ? you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is
run by idiots.

If an 80-year-old woman or a three-year-old girl who is confined to a

If the government?s plan for getting people back to work is to
provide incentives for not working, by granting 99 weeks of unemployment
checks, without any requirement to prove that gainful employment was
diligently sought, but couldn?t be found ? you might live in a nation
that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you pay your mortgage faithfully, denying yourself the newest
big-screen TV, while your neighbor buys iPhones, time shares, a
wall-sized do-it-all plasma screen TV and new cars, and the government
forgives his debt when he defaults on his mortgage ? you might live in a
nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If being stripped of your Constitutional right to defend yourself

I need to go shake Jeff’s hand. Agree 100%.

“…founded by geniuses and run by idiots”.

“…that government of the people, by the people and for the people should not perish from the earth.”

“People get the government they deserve.”

Maybe we have just become a nation of idiots.

That’s why the headline of the post says, “Attributed.”

When you correctly understand that verb you can understand why it was used. You can infer that “supposedly” Foxworthy said those things. A prudent man then might deduce that maybe, in fact, Foxworthy did not actually utter the words.

But the bottom line is…does it really matter whether Foxworthy or an Inuvit sled dog musher or a bonobo made the quote?[/quote]

“How fortunate for leaders that men do not think.”

Do you agree? Does it matter who said it?
