“A snake or a scorpion can kill one person. The Democrats have almost killed a once-free nation based on their failed policy of irrational compassion.” Ron Ewart

Very few people like snakes, venomous or not. Snakes hide in the bushes or under rocks and strike without warning. Just recently there was an articleabout rattlesnakes not shaking their rattles before striking, as if they had learned that giving a warning is detrimental to their health. Venomous snakebites aren’t always deadly given that most hospitals keep anti-venom vaccines on their shelves, provided the victim gets to the hospital in time.

In another related article we learned of a snakebite victim that was in the wilderness with his friends when he was bitten on the palm of his hand by a rattlesnake. His palm immediately became discolored and started to swell. His friends called in a helicopter airlift where he was taken to a rural hospital. The rural hospital immediately realized there was no way they could treat the bite and that major surgery would be required. The victim was then airlifted to an urban hospital where treatment took place almost immediately. Besides the usual inoculation of anti-venom, the victim’s arm was sliced wide open from palm to elbow, exposing all of the muscles, tendons, veins and arteries. The pictures of his arm and palm were so gruesome that viewing them would not be for the faint of heart. This procedure was done to relieve the pressure built up in the arm by the venom. After many major surgeries, skin grafts and the expenditure of over $100,000, the victim regained use of his hand and arm but to a limited extent.

In another incident, one of our friends and his wife and child were in Mexico on vacation. While in the hotel, the man reached for his pants to put them on as he got out of bed in the morning. Almost immediately he felt a painful stinging sensation in his middle finger. When he looked down, a scorpion scurried under the bed. They caught the scorpion and immediately went to the local clinic where he received an anti-scorpion venom inoculation. Even so, his finger blew up to twice its size and after receding to its normal size, all feeling was gone and has not returned. Had the scorpion bit him in the neck instead of his finger, he may have not lived to tell about it. Our friend said that he would never visit Mexico again.

Now of course it is not the snake’s or the scorpion’s fault that humans get bit from time to time. They are just doing what snakes and scorpions do to survive as living species. But what if instead of a snake or scorpion, you were being bit mercilessly by your own kind and it wasn’t just one person that was going to get very sick or die from the bites or stings, it was a whole country that was going to get very sick and possibly die? That leads us to the venomous painful sting of Democrats on an entire society.

Now what the Democrats have done to America for the last 100 years of the Progressive movement has been endlessly written about in article after article, essay after essay and book after book. What could we possibly add to the dialogue that would provide any more enlightenment to the issue? After all, it is merely a question of a difference in ideals and philosophy of how to govern, isn’t it? No! It is more than that. It is a question of power and who in a diverse society will govern that society. In a representative democratic society, who is in power is determined by the number of votes a particular faction (party) can garner at each election cycle. Over the last 100 years the Democrats have been very successful in garnering the number of votes necessary to remain in power for long periods of time.

But how have they done that? They have focused their attention on those less fortunate among us. They have focused their attention on the poor, the downtrodden, the indigent, the uneducated, the minorities, the illegal aliens, the free loaders, the disabled, women and the mentally ill because these groups represent the lion’s share of the votes. The method of their focus was to promote each of these groups as victims, which gave the victim (according to the Progressives) the absolute right to a piece of the public treasury that the Democrats promised they would deliver if elected. This has been the simple winning strategy of the Democrats to remain in power for most of the last 100 years. It is a brilliant strategy that is of course if you can ignore the fact that they have violated the constitution to promote that strategy for most of those 100 years. The list of those violations goes on and on and is still going on.

Now it can be argued that what the Democrats/liberals/Progressives are doing is noble and they base their philosophical arguments and their whole reason for existence on that premise. After all, who will stand for those less fortunate if the Democrats don’t? The fallacy of this allegedly noble cause is, who gets to pay for it all? In a very rich country, paying for it shouldn’t be a problem ….. or should it?

The great hidden fallacy of this premise lies in three areas.

1) If you put out a bird feeder and fill it full of birdseed, the birds will come. If you keep the bird feeder full, more birds will come and more birds will come and more birds will come until generations of birds come. To take this system of bird feeder distribution to its final destination, eventually there will be more birds than bird seed and the bird feeder system will be over whelmed. To find the comparison between perpetual bird feeders and the open borders of the United States under a financially strapped welfare system is not a far stretch. In fact, there is a direct correlation.

2) By putting out the bird feeder you rob the birds of their natural state of fending for themselves under the inviolate natural law of the survival of the fittest. In other words, you genetically weaken the entire species of birds by artificially feeding them. You take from them their natural heritage to survive, thus robbing them of their strength as a species.
