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…quite, 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 illegal’s 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.
