Great old pictures for history buffs.....
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 communists in his native country who were trying to overthrow his country's government and install a new communist 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 . The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/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 as the government forces us to participate in many of these programs whether or not we want to.
One should always remember two truths: There is no such thing as a free lunch, and 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 , 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!
Quote for today: "The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are now outnumbered by those that vote for a living."
Think about the above and how it relates to what is going on in this country right now. It is about time to stand up and say NO MORE. Email this to your representatives and let them know that you are awake and taking a stand!!

"We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately" ~ Benjamin Franklin July 4th 1776 "Those who hammer their guns into plowshares will plow for those who do not". ~ Thomas Jefferson "taint the guns they are after! It's all of your constitutional rights that they are aiming to take" ~ AB 2009 "God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it." ~ Daniel Webster 1834 "What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty.... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins." (Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment [I Annals of Congress at 750, August 17, 1789]) "So many so blind to that what is kicking them in the face is not someone else but their own ignorance. (AB 2014)"
Interesting if true, Democratic Socialism has contributed to the decline of what was once a great race. However I still have hope!

La Sombra Strikes Again: 2 Dead, 2 Wounded...
Borderland Beat |  |
La Sombra Strikes Again: 2 Dead, 2 Wounded Posted: 26 Jan 2016 09:00 PM PST  Translated by Valor for Borderland Beat Just two days after two municipal policemen were gunned down in Los Reyes La Paz, the same criminal group attacked four people who were in Santa Cruz Tlapacoya, leaving two dead and two wounded. The local police received a report of an armed attack around 21:00 hours on Monday, January 25. The patrol unit 259 moved to the street Palmira and found two people dead and two people with gunshot wounds. The attackers came out of a white truck in order to leave a narcomanta signed by Ivan El Ingeniero, El Pantera and La Sombra. On a red Nissan Sentra, with Edomex license plates, the attackers left the following message: “Esto les va a pasar a todos los hijos de su puta madre de la avanzada. Empezo la limpia putitos, alinience con el pueblo se acabó la extorsión y secuestro Atte: Ivan El Ingeniero Pantera La Sombra" (Graphic Images Below) “This is going to happen to all the sons of bitches of la avanzada (outpost/movement?) The cleaning has begun faggots, align yourselves with the people, extortions and kidnappings are over. Atte: Ivan El Ingeniero Pantera La Sombra" The signatories of the narcomanta were the same who executed the two policemen early Sunday in Los Reyes La Paz. Edomex authorities have remained hermetic towards these attacks on the police and civilians, not even the Joint Operations Base have been enabled to try to locate the attacking group. So far, the four victims have not been identified. The two wounded were taken to a specialist hospital in Ixtapaluca.   Source: Reporteros En Movimiento |
