I had 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: 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.
