Political Reality

The override of the President's Veto on the Water Bill shows what is wrong with Congress. The bill started out with projects that had gone through a considerable study phase got projects added that had been earlier rejected by engineers as lacking feasibility or had never been studied. These added projects had one thing in common PORK. So the President saw these added expenditures and saw a chance to shut up the liberal congress (led by socialists Reed and Pelosi) by saying “You say I am causing a deficient; vote for one yourselves.”

The bill contained only authorizations for the projects; the appropriations for the projects are yet to come. Again the President will say “You guys take the heat for the deficient”

Here is some political reality. Every project will be attacked by an environmental wacko group in court; the money to defend against those attacks will come from project money thus many projects will not go forward even if they win in court because there will not be enough money to fund the actual project. Since Federal law says these wacko groups get paid by the government for bringing these wacko suits; about a quarter of the money will go to wacko groups.

The Bird Feeder

A man bought a bird feeder. He hung it on his back porch and filled it with seed. Within a week he 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 his 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 the man and try to peck him even though he had fed them out of his own pocket. The birds were boisterous and loud: They sat on the feeder and squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanding that he fill the feeder when it got low on food.

After a while, the man couldn't even sit on his own back porch anymore.

Well, the man took down the bird feeder and in three days the birds were gone. He 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 bird demanding its right to a free meal.

The lesson to be learned . . . . The US gives out free food, subsidized housing, free medical care, free education and allows anyone born here to be an automatic citizen; even if their parents crossed into this country illegally minutes before the birth. So the illegals came by the millions; some were drug dealers and terrorists.

Suddenly . . Our taxes went up to pay for free services.

Small apartments intended to house a single person are housing 5 families. You have to wait 6 hours to be seen by an emergency room doctor; your child's broken arm waiting attention behind illegals colds and flu. 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.

You have to press "one" to hear your bank speak in English.

People waving flags other than "Old Glory" are squawking and screaming in the streets, demanding more rights and freebies.

These same people while in the US; pledge allegiance to a foreign country while propping up that country's economy with money sent from illegal jobs stolen from US citizens.

It's time for the United States Congress to take down the bird feeder.

Not if Speaker Nancy Pelosi can prevent it; but you knew that right! Here is her web site so you can thank her for keeping the bird feeder up !
