I for one am not going to let the hogs of Socialist liberalism drag me down to the hog pen of communism and one world government. I was born a free American and I will die as one.

Wow!

What a refreshing post! Heck, I have raised hogs in my other life, and the author knows of what he speaks! Never heard a better description of Democrats in my life!

...and liberals can't understand why everybody don't think just like them. They love and want the whole world to wallow in the rotting morass and putrid filth of Socialism and communism.

Democrat liberals aren't the only ones working for a "New World Order."

Comparing hogs to statists isn't fair to the hogs.

Not fair! Most of the time the hogs have no choice where they live.

one thing hogs have over dumbocrats is the're the smartest animal in the barn.pigs are much smarter than cattle sheep or @#$*horses.

I like your analogy.

We have an illusion of freedom. Laws, regulations, government decisions and programs, etcetera, curtail freedoms drastically; recently at alarming rates.

We rationalize, it is all for the best, i. e. now we get these listings of rights enumerated; instead of adding to rights, it works that if a right isn't listed, then it is assumed we no longer have it. Crazy system and we are agreeing, smiling and going along with it, day by day, more so ever more so. I dread for our future in the next five years ... and for my children's and grandchildren's circumstances.

Suffice it to say, while we have some freedoms, we are hedged and compelled all around to follow all the rules and regulations of our governments intent. Taxation in its multiple forms being the most oppressive and onerous.

Have you heard that the EPA has successfully denied out servicemen in training to fly from the bases ... because they might hit a mallard!!!!!!!!!; and the troops preparing to go to Iraq can not stage practice landings (which is the most vulnerable time) on the beaches due to the possible damage to habitat of the gnatcatcher? This is land owned by the the army, marines, airforce . To put our service men and women in danger by being inadequately prepared is ridiculous and unconscionable. Talk about stupidity ... and the loss of freedom is all around ... LOOK!

And one should NEVER try to teach a hog to sing. It wastes one's time and REALLY annoys the hog.
