THE BIRD FEEDER

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 a automatic
citizen. Then the illegals 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.
