The Affordable Barracks Act

By Mitch Berg

Joe Doakes from Como Park writes:

The First Amendment protects the freedom to speak on political subjects, if you say liberal things.

The First Amendment also protects religious freedom, unless you’re a Catholic nun.

The Second Amendment protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms, assuming you’re a Liberal.

The Fourth Amendment protects us from government snooping, except for electronic snooping.

The Fifth Amendment protects us from government taking our property without compensation, unless it can’t deliver?

Hey wait a minute, we skipped one.  What about the Third Amendment?  The Third Amendment says citizens can’t be forced to provide room and board for government troops – no “quartering” is allowed without my consent.  The way things are going in Washington these days, Obama probably will assign me troops and if I decline, he’ll make me to pay the cost of putting up the troops in the Ritz.  And it’ll be legal, as a tax.

I better get started on that basement apartment.

    Oh, I don’t know. It might be a nice crime deterrent to have a GI, fully armed for combat, staying at your house. 🙂

    I thought there was already a 3rd amendment case heading up to Supreme Court.
