Woo hoo!! Our 3rd Qtr 2008 Freepathon is now underway!!

Well, I'm certainly glad to see this day. Glad to be home and glad to be here. I thank you all very much for all the prayers and support you gave while I was in the hospital. Thank God I got outta there with most of my parts still intact!!

And just in time to start ramping up for another exciting national election cycle! It'd be more exciting if we had a conservative running, but guess we'll have to do the best we can. I'm not excited about McCain, but we're going to have to do all we can to block the America-hating Marxist Osama Obama from gaining control of the most powerful office in the world!! And we're going to have to do all we can to unseat the Marxist left from our congress. Our freedom and our very right to exist as a free nation depends upon it!!

Thank you all very much for your continuing support for Free Republic. Thank you for making FR the very best conservative site on the Net!!

WELFARE IS LIKE THE BIRD FEEDER

I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it lovingly with seed. It was indeed a beautiful bird feeder.

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 bird droppings.
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 millions.

Suddenly our taxes went up to pay for free services; small apartments are housing 5 or more families; you have to wait 6 hours to be seen by a doctor in an emergency room because it is filled with illegals; 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 money and services from the government. And then they have the nerve to call me a racist just because I have the guts to tell them they aren't welcome.

Its just my opinion but: maybe, just maybe, it's time for the government to take down the damn bird feeder.
