Later, set another side of fencing at a right angle to the first. The pigs look on the two-sided fence with curiosity, but chomp the “free” corn again. You know the drill, fence a third side. Finally, put a fence across the last side with a spring-loaded gate left open.
The hesitant pigs ramble to and fro, not sure whether to enter this suspicious corral. But what the heck, “free” corn soon trumps caution as they warily file into this strange “pigpen.” Wagging their little piggy tails, they resume gorging themselves as they have become accustomed. Yum. “Free” corn is good. Life is good!
Suddenly the gate is tripped and, wham, slams shut! They immediately realize they are trapped. Oh no! Who shut us in? Why? Terrified, the pigs run hysterically around the pen, snorting, squealing and banging into each other! What do they want with us? What are we going to do? It’s too late to escape! We are all doomed!
Exhausted by their panic-stricken stampede, the foolish pigs finally come to rest. From this day forward they are their new captors’ pork. What do the pigs do? Accept their captivity and go back to eating the “free” corn. Feed them all the corn they can eat in their caged world. Fatten them up. You have just caught tons of ham and bacon for the investment of a little corn and fencing. When you want to enjoy a feast with friends, slaughter a captive pig. They exist solely for your indulgence and they can’t stop you. Yum. Pork is good. Life is good!
Hmmm. Can humans be trapped with “free” corn? Are they not smarter than pigs? Or would they line up at the trough? Start by offering freebies with hidden conditions attached. Will the pigs, err that is, humans surrender a little independence and taxes for their “free” programs? Over time, keep extending “free” socialist programs as you gradually fence their “pigpen.” But leave a gateway so doomed dependents, typically the liberal Democrats of the last few decades, still think they are free. They will forfeit freedom for the “free socialist corn.”
When priceless liberty has been squandered on government dependency, slam the gate shut and you own a herd of needy idiots. Abuse them as you please. They now are your captives! Oh, they may frantically thrash about for a time, but soon accept the reality of their captivity and become utterly dependent on their socialist masters for their feeding and health care, etc. (even abuse) for the rest of their pathetic lives. And what do their masters demand in return for their “free corn”? As history shows, merely to be worshipped and served as living gods! Capricious gods at that, who will not hesitate to slaughter millions of their “pigs” to sustain their erratic egos.
Such has been true of every malicious despot throughout history. In the last century, Hitler, Hirohito and Stalin used military force with ruthless aggression to subdue and rule the world. Hundreds of millions were killed. They might have succeeded but for a great and free United States of America! Preceding them were kings and emperors and various conquerors such as Napoleon, Caesar, Alexander the Great, Attila, Genghis Khan, etc.
The evil dream lives on in the hearts and minds of now fashionable Marxists, bent on establishing global socialist government. They have discovered this to be far less costly and more effective than conscripting and deploying large military forces to subjugate the world.
In fact they have already begun in the post-Christian secularized nations of Western Civilization. Marxists are doling out “free corn” to dupe their dying godless societies into relinquishing their independence and surrendering their priceless liberty. But with unseen global socialist “fencing” attached. The progressive (liberal) Marxists are entrenched within the gates of Washington!
The rallying cry of the Colonial American Revolution against capitulation to King George was, “we have no king but Jesus.” This philosophy also inspired the Constitution with its limited government “of, by and for the people.” Faith in “free Grace,” not “free socialist corn” won our freedom! Marxists loathe Christianity due to a glorious history of defeating tyranny and once fighting for such sacred rights as individual freedom.
What if present day Christians and their silent, inoffensive clergy rediscovered the faith and courage of our founders? We might evoke our lost spirit of freedom, justice and decency, such as the sacred right to life!

I was persuaded not to "dignify this kook with a response". So will let my readership read my response.
The idea that we have "Socialist Masters" is just too much. Lets see Obama has been in office for LESS then 2 years and the Democrats have controlled congress for not EVEN 4 years. Ummm did the your so-called "Socialist masters" just come to office?? Did they get elected or did they subvert the democratic process??
Saying we have "fashionable Marxists" running our country is just plain silly. You must listen to a lot to Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity.
Now as a welfare caseworker for the past 20 years, I know the system needs work as well as you do sir. There is no real political will to make the welfare system work course if it did, angry folks would have to find some OTHER group to hate on. Umm. Lets see now, Back in 2004 it was the gays, this election cycle its the Muslims. Watch as your political masters of talk radio drop the mosque issue as soon as your favorite party gains political favor. Don't worry, there will be some OTHER issue for you to hate on. The talk radio masters (who are making millions by the way) will always need something to gin up and rile up those who follow them BLINDLY to
Image via WikipediaThe only corn that threatens our county is the high fructose corn syrup and other corn by products that are making food cheaper and our kids fatter. Oh but that you and your ilk would blame on President Obama and Nancy Polosi.
How can you spew such HATE towards you fellow countrymen and women? Did you now know that our country was founded by folks who came to flee intolerance in Europe, Africa and the Middle East? I must again just say WOW at the utter hatred. You bring up Hitler and Stalin. Well, Hitler and his minions spread HATE so masterfully that after awhile the Jews were considered "subhuman" which made it easy for for the Nazis and many Germans to KILL and not feel bad since the Jews were SWINE. Now you spend about HALF of your writing calling those who need government assistance PIGS feeding at the tough. This kind of rhetoric is protected by our Constitution's protection of free speech but its ugly and mean-spirited.
You see the Dems are like the battered spouse, they just take the abuse and it really just is maddening. When Dems or other "evil" progressives (I will count myself as one) try to ignore the half-truth and utter lies (Obama is a Muslim) it just encourages the bully to do it even more. Those who use the Lord's name to promote hatred need to be challenged by all of all faiths. Its like a cavity, ignore it and it will go away but also your rights and freedoms that our forefathers died for.
Have a nice day and God Bless you!
