QUITE AN ANALOGY.
I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it 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. And others
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. 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 lets see....... our government gives out free food, subsidized
housing, free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here
to be an automatic citizen. Then the illegal's came by the tens of
thousands. Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small
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 over 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.
Maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder too?
I forgot to mention, this was (taken from internet!) Also this way of thinking is toooo deeply seeded into our culture.
