I want to share a fable with you, from Aseop.
The Dog and The Wolf
There one was a Wolf so skinny that he was nearly dead with hunger. He met a Dog who lived in a house in town.
The Dog saw the Wolf was near death. “Dear Wolf,” said the Dog, “your wild life will be the end of you. Why not work as I do, and get your food given to you each day?”
“I would be willing to try anything,” said the Wolf, “if I could just get a place to live and something to eat.”
“I can take care of that for you,” said the Dog. “Come with me to my master and you can share my work.”
As the Wolf and Dog made their way to the town, the Wolf saw that the hair on the Dog’s neck was worn very thin.
“Dear Dog,” said the Wolf. “Why is the hair on your neck worn so thin that your skin shows?”
“Oh, it’s nothing. Don’t worry about that,” said the Dog. “That is just the place where my master puts the collar on my neck each night. After supper, I am chained. You will get used to it.”
“Is that what it costs to eat every day?” said the Wolf. “Then good-bye, Friend Dog. I would rather starve and be free.”
Many people in this country are much like the Wolf at the beginning when he says, “I would be willing to try anything if I could just get a place to live and something to eat.” We are tired of things the way they are and so we are looking for “change.” But at what cost? Anything? Our freedom? The Wolf learned, before it was too late. But, sadly, I don’t think I can see the same for many of my fellow Americans. Most people won’t figure it out until it is too late, and the “hair on their necks are worn so thin that their skin shows.”
We are watching our freedoms slip slowly away, ever so slightly. The Constitution is being disregarded at an alarming rate! I hope people wake up before we are saying, “Oh, it’s nothing. You will get used to it.”
I found this great article by David Limbaugh today about Obama. Clearly Obama is a Socialist, as this other astue blogger points out. Socialism is evil! I just wish I could trust McCain not to go down the socialism road, too. But, alas, I cannot.
