Top ten signs you’re too afraid of your government

Top ten signs you’re too afraid of your government

My brother Jimmy is always a little behind, which means that when he comments on this blog he usually does so after everyone else is tired of the topic and has stopped following the discussion.  But he posted a top 10 list on that presidential cell phone thread that is worthy of David Letterman.  And even though it is arguably wrong-headed, it is very humorous.  So I wanted all of you to see it:

Top ten signs that you too may be a victim of anti-government fear mongering:

10. When the government census worker came to your door, you hid in the closet.

9. You can’t find your long form birth certificate and question your own citizenship.

8. You have already contacted your local hospital administrator to see what you have to do to get appointed to serve on a “death panel”.

7. You watch “King of the Hill”, and think that Dale Gribble is the smart one.

6. While waiting on a table at a restaurant, you refuse to give the host your real name.

5. You think that FBI agents are living in your attic. (Personal note to my big brother, “Dr. Veith”. This one runs in our family. Don’t tell anyone.)

4. You refuse to set your clocks to daylight savings time.

3. You have nightmares where a team of Navy SEALS descend upon your compound in black stealth helicopters and shoot you in the head. (Wait a minute. . . . that could actually happen!)

2. When you watch Fox news you think you are watching the news.
