Free for Everyone!

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled

it with seed. 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. And 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 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 second 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 flag are squawking and

screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and free

liberties.

Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to

take down the bird feeder.
