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 essentially like it used to
be...quite, 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 illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly our taxes
went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing up to 5
families; you have to wait around 6 hours to be seen by an emergency
room doctor; you 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!
