A chemistry professor in a large college had some
exchange students in the class. One day while the class was in the lab
the Professor noticed one young man (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 communists in his
native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and
install a new communist government. 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 this 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 everyday to eat the free
corn.
 
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, who are used to the free corn, start to come through the
gate to eat, you 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 to America . The government keeps pushing us toward
socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs
such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tobacco
subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare,
medicine, drugs, etc.. While we continually lose our freedoms -- just a
little at a time.
 
One should always remember: There is no such thing as
a free lunch!
 
Also, a politician will never provide a service for you
cheaper than you can do it yourself. Also, if you see that all of this
wonderful government 'help' is a problem confronting the future of
democracy in America , you might want to send this on to your friends.

If you think the free ride is essential to your way of life then you
will probably delete this email, but God help you when the gate slams
shut!
 
Keep your eyes on the newly elected politicians who are about to
slam the gate on America "A government big enough to give you
everything you want, is big enough to take away everything you have"

exactly my friend. nationalized banks(communism) socalization of health care(communism) what was the first things chavez did when he took power, nationalization of some of the industries. and another thing, borrowing all this money from communist, what good is that. what happens if we default, does china own america. Cmon they already have the last fence up just waiting to slam the gate! Cmon they sent all the good jobs overseas, created frannie mae and freddie mac to help unqaulified people get homes, the fed dumps tons of money and low interest rates in the 90's and then they start a very exspenive war (based on lies) , all those bailouts to the rich, stimulus packages don't help they harm and they borrow tons of money from a communist country. does not take a smart person to get the big picture and you all keep voting for the same loser and wonder why things don't change. keep watching your fav shows and don't worry, they will take care of you. why don't you check out canada's free health care system and see how long it takes to receive medical attention. check out chavez , yeah you get 12 cent gas but are they free. with freedom comes responsiblity. what about high school age kids, just ask them what they know about the constitution and then ask what they know about the UN. check out the people you cast a vote for, have they broken their oath, voted against the constitution, lied, has a shakey background or assoicates, did you vote for him because he was the lessor of two evils. open your eyes and see what they are doing, it is are responsibility to pass down to our child a free country and we are failing in that responsibility.
