Catching Wild Pigs READ IT, HEED IT, OR LOSE IT. (It's called Freedom.)
Subject: Catching Wild Pigs
A thought to remember, Marx said, "Remove one freedom per generation and soon you will have no freedom and no one would have noticed.” There was a chemistry professor in a large college that had some exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab, the professor noticed one young man, an exchange student, who kept rubbing his back and stretching as if his back hurt. The professor asked the young man what was the matter.
The student told him he had a bullet lodged in his back. He had been shot while fighting C*******ts in his native country who were trying to o*******w his country's government and install a new c*******t regime. In the midst of his story, he looked at the professor and asked a strange question. He asked: "Do you know how to catch wild pigs?" The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line.
The young man said that it was no joke. "You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come every day to eat the free food. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming. When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side.
The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again. You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught. Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity."
The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America & Canada. The government keeps pushing us toward C*******m/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare entitlements, medicine, drugs, etc., while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.
One should always remember two t***hs: 1. There is no such thing as a free lunch, and 2. You can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself. If you see that all of this wonderful government "help" is a problem confronting the future of democracy in America & Canada, you might want to share this with your friends.
If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, then you will probably not share this. BUT, God help us all when the gate slams shut!
Think about this: Quote for today: "The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living is now outnumbered by those who v**e for a living." Please pass this on!!
It appears that the fence is up and the gate is standing open. Next week they will slam it shut. Enjoy your corn!

For every man that made a dollar and didn’t earn it,
There’s a man who worked for it
And didn’t get paid.

I am constantly astounded at how much Americans take their free speech and individual liberties for granted. The Democrat/C*******t Party is blatant and no longer even attempts to hide their anti-American, c*******t, anti, in-your-face, erosion of free speech and individual liberty agenda. Ask an immigrant who has escaped from a c*******t country and has come here for the freedom the US offers. Most will tell you they are worried that what they are seeing here is EXACTLY what they were running from.
