A Friend pf mine e mailed this to me .He used it to explain how Democrats do more harm then good to his kid!>>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!
It goes both ways.. either way you just get an asshole.

Nope.
The Airlines, Oil Companies and Agri-business for three need that feeder.
Why are you against the sort of but not really “free market”?

Terrific analogy!!! I absolutely love it. It’s kind of like that story about how to catch a wild pig. If you’d like, I could share that with you, but it may take up too much space here in Yahoo Answers.

Some people will only be as personally responsible as the government requires. Good point.

I received the same email from my ultra right-wing sister and found it to be a stupid premise to build a political policy around. Although I also believe we should not be giving anything to illegal immigrants except a swift kick back to their respective countries, I’ve traveled around the world and being able to read and hear important messages in English is a real help. I would never deny the same thing to others. That’s just ignorant.
The author’s comparison between her birdfeeder and illegal immigrants is just too simplistic.

I read this some place else I agree with it.
