		<description>The analogy is absolutely right on


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 is, 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 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. 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 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. 
Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for the government to take down the bird feeder. 
If you agree, pass it on; if not, continue cleaning up the poop!
