The "Bird Feeder"...

[Tiger]

 ;D 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 an automatic citizen.
Then the illegal's came by the hundreds 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 our nation's flag, 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...Food for thought!!! :o ;D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I've about always had that mindset.  Sure allow people in and use those in the past as an example, but to truly use those in the past they weren't given hand-outs when they got here.  Those who came before had to earn what they got, and become citizens to get it.  I dont' see any reason people today shouldn't be expected to do the same.  Ya might get 'automatic citizenship' when born here but by & large you're still expected to have to earn what ya get as well except those willing to live on welfare.

Years ago I worked for a man that was a town chairman. He came up with the idea that if you lived in his
township and you were on welfare you had to show up at the town garage and work for the town. He had
them sweeping, shoveling snow, etc. The number of people on welfare dropped dramatically :)

Nice, I like that one. :) Save on maintenance costs for the town in the process, initially anyway.
