10 Commandments for Policians

Shamelessly copied from the same listserv as the previous post!

:-)

10 COMMANDMENTS FOR POLITICIANS1. Thou shalt not rob those who work hard in order to subsidize thosewho hardly work . Note to politicians: If you really believe thatdrunks, druggies, and derelicts have a "right" to "equal housing,"open up the doors of your own home!

2. Thou shalt not send American troops into harm's way -- and then stabthem in the back when they're fighting at the front. Cut and run is nota sound strategy for military victory. Those like Mr. Murtha who arestill fighting the War in Vietnam should not let their pitifulflashbacks dictate our foreign policy.

3. Thou shalt not kill unborn babies. Period.

4. Thou shalt not extort income taxes above 10% of the America worker'sannual earnings. If 10% is good enough for God, it's good enough forgovernment.

5. Thou shalt not grant amnesty to illegal aliens. Instead ofrewarding them with a primrose "path to citizenship, " put them on thefast track to the Mexican border.

6. Thou shalt not surrender American sovereignty. There is no "globaltest." There is no "precedent in foreign law." And there is no need tocontinue subsidizing the UN's Kofi Anan and his America-bashing bandof predators, pariahs, and piranhas.

7. Thou shalt not pay yourselves one more dime than the average incomeof the American worker. If you truly want to represent us, learn tolive within our means. Then, maybe you'll stop robbing us blind andspending us broke. Perhaps if you learn firsthand how hard it is forthe average American to balance the family budget, you'll become alittle more adept at balancing the federal budget.

8. Thou shalt serve no more than two terms in office. Remember us?We're the ones who sent you to Washington mistakenly thinking youmight one day want to return ... The ones you seem to hope will nowleave you alone, forget your phone number, and stop inundating youwith FREE emails and ActiFaxes. Well, don't count on it - because it'snever going to happen.

9. Thou shalt not continue to endorse, support, or condone thegovernment's ruthless persecution of Christians, Christian values, andChristian observances. Let's put it this way: Every year the MangerScene is not back in the public square further diminishes your chancesof getting back into public office. What exactly is it that you don'tunderstand about, "Congress shall make no law prohibiting the freeexercise [of religion]"?

10. Thou shalt not place yourself above the law. When you get caughtdriving drunk, don't try to pull rank - just take the breathalyzer andperp walk to the patty wagon ... When you assault a police officer,don't claim the divine right of royalty ... And when you get caughttaking a bribe, don't claim that "congressional privilege" means thecold cash is yours to keep.
