What's the difference between a Democracy and a Republic?

Posted by M. E. Ward on Saturday, March 14, 2009 1:46:05 AM
I saw this video on a blog run by Dr. Ignatius Piazza, Founder and Director of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute.
 
It was posted in response to a video posted by an alleged Marine who is very unhappy with our current form of government, to say the least.

It is perhaps genuis in its simplicity. So much so, I think even a 3rd grader could understand it.  
 
 
No wonder this information is no longer taught in public schools.  Just imagine if it were!

How to catch wild pigs.....

Posted by M. E. Ward on Friday, March 06, 2009 1:33:54 PM
This is a great email I received from an Air Force Officer:

Do you know how to catch wild pigs?

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, which 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.

Is this what is 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"

Thomas Jefferson
