The Bird Feeder Analogy
If it is "free", who wants to work for it?
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it
with birdseed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it
lovingly with seed. Within a week we had hundreds of birds taking
advantage of the continuous flow of free and easily accessible food.
But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the
patio, above the table, and next to the barbecue. Then came the
poop! It was everywhere, on the patio tile, the chairs, the table…
everywhere!
Then some of the birds turned mean. They would
dive bomb me and try to peck me even though I had fed them out of my
own pocket. The other birds were boisterous and loud. They sat on
the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and
night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.
After a while, I couldn’t even sit on my own back porch anymore. So
I took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. I
cleaned up their mess and took down the many nests they had built
all over the patio.
Soon, the back yard was like it used to
be… quiet, serene and no one demanding their rights to a free meal.
Now let’s see…
Our government gives out free food,
subsidized housing, free medical care, and free education and allows
anyone born here to be an automatic citizen.
Then the
illegals came by the tens and hundreds of thousands, millions.
Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; apartments are
housing 5 families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an
emergency room doctor; your child’s 2nd grade class is behind other
schools because half the class doesn’t speak English. Corn Flakes
now come in a bilingual box; I have to ‘press one’ to hear my bank
talk to me in English, and people waving flags other than ‘Old
Glory’ are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more
rights and free liberties. When asked why they breed like
cockroaches, the reply is that it is a cultural thing.
Just
my opinion but, maybe its time for the government to take down the
bird feeder. If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up
the poop!
note: Certain politicians want to achieve parity in
living standards of others by lowering us to third world status. It
is NOT a party thang! Panderers come in all political flavors, such
as Teddy Kennedy, Carl Levin, B. Hussein Obama, Hillary Clinton,
Bill Frist, Sam Brownback, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Ron Paul,
etc.
