[Mishmash] A perspective

The analogy is absolutely right on . . . Maxine tells it like it is!!!! 

  
         
                  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 thou gh 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.< /B> 
                  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!
