Question

chickens in a chicken farm next door?

Answer 1

you can best explain it by using this analogy given to me by a former student of mine.

Several years ago I was supervising a beginning teacher in a city
school system. One day during our end-of-the-day feedback conference,
the young man gave a facial grimace and began to rub his back. I asked
him if he had strained his back in the school lab. After a long period
of silence, he sat down at his desk and explained that he had
immigrated to the United States because of political problems in his
native country. The discomfort in his back was caused by a bullet
wound he had received while fighting the Communists who were trying to
take over his country's government. He was then a member of the
underground nationalist force.

Then he asked me a surprising question: "Dr. Hedges, do you know how
to catch a wild hog?" The question was completely out of context
regarding the day's classroom and lab teaching. I replied, "I"m not
sure what you are talking about. Tell me."

"First," he said, "you find out where the wild hogs are roaming and
feeding, and then you put some corn out in the field. Soon they will
come to eat the corn. You keep putting out the free corn. More wild
hogs keep coming to eat the corn." "So what?" I said. "That's normal
for any animal."

"Be patient. I will tell you what comes next," he said. "After the
hogs get used to your free corn, you put up a length of fence along
one side of the feeding area. The hogs get used to it. You keep giving
them the corn. Then you put up another section of fence at right
angles to the first. You keep giving them the corn. The hogs get used
to the second fence. Then you put up another length of fence at right
angles to the second section. You now have a U-shaped fenced area. The
hogs get used to that section of the fence. You keep giving them free
corn. Then you put another section of fence with a gate in it, making
a closed area except for the gate. You keep giving them corn. Now, the
hogs no longer are out in the fields, working to find their own food.
They keep coming into the area to eat the free corn. They get used to
the fenced area with the open gate. Then, one day you slam shut the
gate when the hogs are inside the fenced area. The wild hogs are
caught - they are your prisoners."

I understood then that the wild hogs were really the people of his
native country, and that the free corn was the enticements that the
Communists were giving to the people. "That's correct," the young man
said. "Now, the hogs will not get anything to eat unless you give them
food. You are in control. They depend on you to feed them, or they
will starve. They can't get out into the fields and forests anymore to
find their own food. They have probably forgotten how, as it is. They
are your servants, your prisoners. They must obey you. Or else they
starve.

"The hogs," he said, "were so accustomed to having the free corn, that
they ignored the building of the fences that would eventually trap
them. When the gate slammed shut, it was too late for them to realize
what they had been blind to. The free corn was enticing, so effortless
to obtain, but eventually the cause of their loss of freedom. The
fence had been built; the gate had been shut."

At this point in our conversation, the young teacher, in a voice
shaking with emotion and with fists hitting the desktop, loudly
exclaimed, "This is what I see happening in America today! People are
being offered free corn by the government. People are being blind to
the fences being built around them by the liberals - the socialists -
and that is what frightens me! Just like it was happening in my
homeland. The American people do not learn from history. And history
shows that socialism/communism does not work. Take note of Russia . Has
socialism been the best thing that ever happened to that country?
Absolutely not! But socialism is what the American people are being
fed, and they don't realize it. All they can focus on is the 'free
corn.' They want more and more of the 'free' corn. And this free corn
is being fed to us little by little, and soon the gate will slam shut.
I am very frightened, and also amazed, that the American people don't
see what is being fed us, and for what purpose."

With that said, the young man sat down at his desk and continued to
rub his painful back. And I was silent in my chair. And afraid. For I
could visualize the supposedly "free corn" being fed to our nation's
people, and our growing addiction to the "free corn." And I could see
the gate being slammed shut. We, the people of the United States of
America , because of our ignorance of history, because of our addiction
to the supposedly "free corn," could soon be prisoners of liberal
socialism.

Along with this fighter for freedom from socialism/communism , I, too,
wanted to slam my fists on the desktop and cry out in a loud voice for
all to hear, "Wake up, America ! The fences are being built! Don't you
see what is happening to us?"

In the agenda of the new Congress governed by the liberal Democrats,
there is much "free corn" being promised the American people. In our
greed for this "free corn," will we ignore the incremental building of
the fences, and the inevitable shutting of the gate?

As I ponder the building of the fences now underway by the new
Congress, I remember the old adage, 'There is always free cheese in a
mousetrap."

It seems the only thing we learn from history is that we do not learn
from history.

Answer 2

Americans are the HOPE of the WORLD!
The free enterprise system allows individuals who suffer under imperialist or socialist tyranny an opportunity to pursue some worthwhile work and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Answer 3

Mostly the liberals. They actually pretend to be anti-corporation! This makes them much better exploiters for the wealthy than the conservatives are. Oh, and racists and anti-Semites, who fool working people into blaming minority ethnic groups for what wealthy WASPs do. Both of these groups perform great services to our corporate rulers. .

Answer 4

pigs in a pig farm, goats in an orchard, crackheads at the zoo,

Americans are just as gullible as the rest and we aren't being eaten after being fattened up.

Answer 5

I think Americans are all highly/ respectfully educated and knowledgeable people. They know everything, they see everything, so there is no need to be curious. Feed them well and everything is just fine!

Answer 6

Thank you captainobvious_lj. A great answer that needs to be posted regularly.

Answer 7

Shoot yourself in the foot, then go back to basic spelling school. Your question makes no sense.

......were do these people come from?
