By Jeff Foxworthy:

If plastic water bottles are okay, but plastic bags are banned, — you might live in a nation (state) that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots. WE DO LIVE IN SUCH A DUMB COUNTRY!!

If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for entering and remaining in the country illegally — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you have to get your parents' permission to go on a field trip or to take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If you MUST show your identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book and rent a video, but not to vote for who runs the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If the government wants to prevent stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines that hold more than ten rounds, but gives twenty F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt — you might live in a 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 who is confined to a wheelchair or a three-year-old girl can be strip-searched by the TSA at the airport, but a woman in a burka or a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is 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 nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If a seven-year-old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher is "cute" but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government regulation and intrusion while not working is rewarded with Food Stamps, WIC checks, Medicaid benefits, subsidized housing, and free cell phones — 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 makes you more "safe" according to the government — you might live in a nation that was founded by geniuses but is run by idiots.

THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE IN ALL UPCOMING ELECTIONS. MOST OF THE IDIOTS RUNNING THIS COUNTRY SAY ONE THING AND DO THE OPPOSITE KNOWING THAT THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED THEM IN DO NOT PAY ATTENTION

LET'S SEE IF I GOT THIS RIGHT!!!

IF YOU CROSS THE NORTH KOREAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU GET 12 YEARS HARD LABOR.

IF YOU CROSS THE IRANIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU ARE DETAINED INDEFINITELY.

IF YOU CROSS THE AFGHAN BORDER ILLEGALLY, YOU GET SHOT.

IF YOU CROSS THE SAUDI ARABIAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE JAILED.

IF YOU CROSS THE VENEZUELAN BORDER ILLEGALLY YOU WILL BE BRANDED A SPY AND YOUR FATE WILL BE SEALED.

IF YOU CROSS THE CUBAN BORDER ILLEGALLYOU WILL BE THROWN INTO POLITICAL PRISON TO ROT.

Snopes says this was not created by Jeff Foxworthy. That makes sense because it does break Foxworthy's very long use of his favorite and most famous punchline.

Just another email chain letter relying on gullibility and misattribution to some known public figure.

Thanks for fact checking this.

Fake news is fake news.

Some people post fake news while other people believe fake news.

“I’m With Jeff” or “A Country Founded by Geniuses But Run By Idiots” by Jeff Foxworthy-Incorrect Attribution!

Summary of eRumor: 

A commentary titled “I’m with Jeff” or “A Country Founded By Geniuses But Run By Idiots” that was supposedly written by Jeff Foxworthy uses the comedians famous “you might be a redneck” joke setup to blast modern politics.

The Truth:

This commentary didn’t come from Jeff Foxworthy.

It’s been making the rounds under the title “I’m With Jeff” or “A Country Founded By Geniuses But Run By Idiots” since as early as October 2014 — but it didn’t actually come from Jeff Foxworthy.

The commentary was published by blogger Fitz Simmons in early 2013 at his blog site, Politically True. However, Simmons’ name was quickly dropped from the post, and it was circulated without an author named throughout 2013.

But, by early 2014, Jeff Foxworthy’s name was quickly added to the piece to give it more credibility given that it borrowed his famous “you might be a redneck” joke setup.

Some blog posts that feature the “I’m With Jeff” commentary claim that he made the comments when asked about his thoughts on President Obama during an interview. We weren’t able to find any record of Foxworthy actually say that in an interview or in his standup routine.

Jeff Foxworthy has been a vocal supporter of conservative politics and Christian causes in the past. In 2012, he supported Mitt Romney’s presidential bid and campaigned with him across southern states. That same year he described his Christian beliefs in an appearance on Glenn Beck’s The Blaze.

However, his standup routine and public personae has historically been far less divisive than the “A Country Founded by Geniuses But Run By Idiots” commentary.

Given all that, we’re classifying this one as incorrect attribution.

We can see from the (above) link to http://seanlinnane.blogspot.com/2013/02/h-l-mencken.html that it did exist in 2013 without any reference to Foxworthy's name.

Readers here at LF are so gullible that it isn't worth posting here. Hardly anyone ever bothers to read an article either.

You're missing the point.

Would the article have been any more or less true if the author had been listed as "anonymous"?

So you're defending the misattibution under the rubric of fake-but-true?

The piece seemed to me to be a cheap takeoff of Foxworthy's routines but including a pet phrase "founded by geniuses...run by idiots".

Authentic frontier gibberish.
