Politics and Cats: The "Welfare" State of The Union Addressed In Truth

Now I know that the title is one for pause. Yet, sitting here with my morning cup of coffee I pondered my morning asseying on the micro level and thought how simple to apply it to the macro, if only politicians understood cats and getting to a better "state".

As is my normal routine upon awakening I brush my teeth and proceed immediately to the coffee pot, and while it is brewing I tend the cats. First, a cup of food goes to the cat bowl INSIDE and I freshen their water bowl for the day. Then, I open the front door and there awaits the two OUTSIDE at the front door steps. One is the Beautiful, gray and white long-haired momma cat who showed up with kittens one day back 2 summers ago. The other a recent addition of about two months now, a handsome long haired orange cat with this cute white face and big green eyes gentle and loving, but obviously was left behind and was starving. Over the course of this week, another cat has shown up, initially timid when I was around, but I noticed the difference in the way the other cats behaved and would "interact" and "relate" to him. This smaller cat would appear and all the others would dart in various directions. Yet, my own cats didn't mind the 4th orange and white male which had shown up two months ago.

As I proceeded to put down food for the OUTSIDE cats, the 5th one ran over and "chased" the two off. Yesterday, I recalled the 5th cat had basically taken over Mommas throne in the front yard a chair she sat in basically overseeing the property at times getting down to play chase with the others. But ironically the 4 always interacted and related to one another in kindness sharing the food. That was until this morning. The dynamics had somehow changed, and the 5th cat was sitting in Mommas chair and Momma had jumped off the top of the trash can when I opened the front foor to do the morning feeding. I suppose the 5th cat having hung around this week "observing" the routine knew feeding time...but had TAKEN OVER the "territory". He had not come as the others to live in safety, seeking refuge here on the property, graciously accepting to "assimulate" into the group as ONE within the boundaries of my yard. No, he had come from the very beginning on a mission to TAKE OVER the Source. With the backyard fenced in, this was their sanctuary and I enjoyed watching them chase one another frolicking in freedom and safety. But this morning the atmosphere had changed.

So, as Keeper of the Flame of "Come one, Come all and SHARE", I had to take "ACTION" The Trumpet had sounded. A TAKER had "moved" in and had a different idea of HOW this yard was gonna be Governed. I am willing in my own Charity to buy food and take care of the less fortunate animals who through whatever "cause" had found themselves hungry, abandoned, homeless, "caught in the vicious cycle of fertility"...I in love aided and nurtured. Each of the cats I took personal "responsiblity" for getting them "spayed and nurtured" and shots for their protection. As a wise person knows I can't "just" FEED them...there are health "causes" to tend to or else Momma and her Feral Baby girl would only continue to have "more babies" and OVER BURDEN my home "system"...so for the WELFARE of this property, I took ACTION. I "arrested" that behaviour and prevented FUTURE burdens by preventative measures. All has been well until the recent two additions. The first Male from two months ago, had already been fixed and no "stinking spraying"... yet "assimulated" himself into the property in humility and grace! BUT this one from this week is a DIFFERENT BEAST all together. He Wants to spray "and mark HIS territory"...and is TAKING OVER the food bowl and "property". He has no thoughts for what "constitutes" living in harmony and SHARING THE Wealth on this property, nope He is TAKING OVER and becoming a little feline dictator at the expense of the ones already here living quietly and peacefully in harmony. Suddenly, now everyone is ON GUARD and taking "cover".

So this morning, I chased him out of the yard. Initially, it made me FEEL bad, as I am willing to SHARE the property with the animals in need. But I had a DUTY and OBLIGATION as the Head of This Household first to not CREATE a AREA meant as a refuge FROM THE WORLD "in the beginning" to "become" LIKE THE WORLD and no longer safe. Within "the bounds of my property", THAT IS MY RESPONSIBILTY, and the "citizens" (be they furry or human) COME FIRST. I can not permit someone to "come here" taking up "residence" and CHANGE the dynamics of the freedom and security of this US PROPERTY. That is my RIGHT as an individual to protect that "land". The "opportunity" existed to come "assimulate" into the area and BE AS ONE..but that was not "the case".

As I poured my second cup of coffee, I was thinking of my property AS "AMERICA" (the land of the FREE) and then the neighborhood as "the World" and "each house" an individual Nation in it. For in like manner it is so with This Earth we live...one Big Neighborhood. I can go over up and down the streets catching all the cats now to PREVENT any "mean TAKERS" to come here. No, that is not FAIR. It merely serves only to take my FOCUS off my property and onto "anothers". My rights exists with My Property. My Duty is with ITS "citizens". As long as nothing "out there" is threatening to move in and TAKE OVER then my FOCUS is here on this land for the neighborhood is peaceful and the neighbors "friendly". We all co-exist.

Yet, if something "another entity" on the corner is doing "threatens" my own property, and threatens my "peaceful living", threatens "my freedom" and THREATENS "my household" and THREATENS "my pocketbook", and THREATENS "my safety or the CITIZENS within the boundaries of this property"....IT IS MY RIGHT AND DUTY to take ACTION, or else the TAKERS "takeover". And if there is a Bully who has "moved INTO" the neighborhood, and decides to set up a shack at the corner, and take up bullying me "charging ME" an entry FEE into my OWN neighborhood. I am faced with "choices". I can "surrender" to it, or I can "call the Authorities" and "present my case of grievances". TAKE ACTION, or BE BULLIED!

That is the "way" of the MICRO from my rocking chair having morning coffee under the pecan tree in my front yard. Now, lets move to the MACRO. Come WITH ME...I know you can follow this line of reasoning.

The model of the European-style welfare state simply does not work. The NEIGHBORHOOD is in turmoil. Unfortunately, when the percentage of those receiving government aid exceeds 50% in Europe, it is difficult to cut benefits. The threat of cutbacks in Greece has brought chaos to that country. The sight of thousands of left-wing thugs, marching in close ranks and armed with large batons and Molotov cocktails, is now a common one in central Athens. The TAKERS are now upset. Government's response to civil unrest has been to appease the protesters. From all appearances, it looks like the Greeks are angling for debt forgiveness with no substantive change in the Greek welfare state. If all this sounds a lot like what's happening in the U.S., it is!!!! Like the socialists who govern Greece, Obama's left-wing administration depends on the support of left-wing activists, unionized government workers, radicalized students, and welfare recipients. All of these groups "rights"have been pressing for more government spending, and Obama has not disappointed them.(Pay attention here: Don't surrender YOUR VOICE or POWER.")The single-minded focus of this administration has been the expansion of government benefit programs (CAUSE) designed to foster dependency (EFFECT). From the beginning, Obama's political strategy has centered on the restoration of "welfare as we know it." inn this "spiritual" WAR The clients of welfare are always reliable supporters of the Democratic Party. If Democrats can expand the percentage of the population dependent on benefits above 50% of the population, they will have achieved a permanent grasp on power.

Oh my Lovely CITIZENS of America who take up REFUGE much like our early "citizens" seeking REFUGE from "the tyranny of OPPRESSION"....We must now awake! Oh House of Israel "scattered" for we worshipped everything else and wanted NO GOD to rule over us, but a man to be our King. Hail King Obama! America stands at a crossroads in 2012, for this is the year when the American people will decide irrevocably whether they wish to see their country transformed into a European-style welfare state.

Like my morning facing what EXACTLY was I "creating" in my choice to allow this "new-comer" to my yard, TOUGH CHOICES need to be made taking into consideration CAUSE AND EFFECT, and THE FUTURE we are "creating" for ourselves. It is WITHIN OUR CONTROL. But We The People must send the MESSAGE that WE will no longer put up with POLICIES which attrack TAKERS, BULLY'S, and Complacency! There is a SOLUTION and a means to transition from that "state" to a better state of mind. It would have been a "great" transaction for the President to have signed the Keystone Pipeline into existence...imagine how many JOBS for American CITIZENS that would have opened, cutting welfare and moving them to a JOB. Now that is SOUND finance to me! Oh, and we are also doing business with Our FRIENDS in Canada, not only FRIENDS but whose God is Our God, and stop doing business with the enemy who in that "state of DEPENDENCY" threaten us and bully us.

I say its PAST TIME TO SEVER TIES with enemies and financial bonds of social intercourse giving birth to more and more kittens of tyranny and oppression. America has "bought our FRIENDS" for a long time. It is interesting the NATURE of people, as long as YOU are "paying" friends are there, but the minute YOU are out of work, and CANT FOOT THE BILL for dinner, ironically no-one is calling YOU for dinner anymore. Thats the difference in THE TAKERS and THE GIVERS.

Only in wising up, and waking up, and getting heads out of the sand, will America realize that we are at WAR, but its not with the Taliban. ITS WITHIN OUR OWN SHORES sitting in the Chief SEATS in HIgh Places DICTATING to us How this Property America is gonna be RUN irregardless of the Economic Melt-down. They want us to become "dependant" and WEAK and ironically we are almost half-way there with the ominously 49% of TAKERS who collect benefits and pay no Federal Income Tax. IF the Obama Administration can get just a few more VOTES from "a few more TAKERS" this Country is Lost FOREVER!

Not sure who was paying attention to what was actually SAID when Obama went down his issue with the congress, the house, and how If they would just GIVE HIM CONTROL He would "get things done". Yes, BUT WHAT THINGS and "for Whom" I beg the differ. Yes, Obama did another great "speech" got some applause and standing ovations last night. The only true thing He did say (In my humble opinion) was GIVE HIM CONTROL SO HE COULD GET THINGS DONE (his SOCIALIST NWO "agenda"). See, Obama's 2012 budget, which was rejected by every member of the Senate, called for continued spending at 2011 levels, even as his own budget supercommittee struggled to come up with $1.5 trillion in cuts. Good JOB Senate!

At the caution light, in the middle of nowhere and somewhere we pause at this crossroad in Americas Future and OUR decision AFFECTS our allies also. The Welfare state PROMISES "lifetime benefits" for the entire population with a safety net of food like the Federal Reserve PROMISED our Grandparents generation 100 years ago when the Titanic Sank and Congress "bought" those lies. A reliance UPON "another" instead of Good ole Fashioned SWEAT EQUITY! No one once made "dependant" upon welfare ever wants to give that up! IN that ACT, they have surrendered, tossed in the white that exists "in between" the Red and The Blue, and given up "The PURSUIT" in exchange for "a welfare check of HOPELESSNESS".

Socialism is in EFFECT an economic system in which NO ONE IS ALLOWED the PURSUIT "to succeed" or "to fail". It eliminates the MOTIVE all together of competition and reduces a country's CITIZENRY and "labor force" to nothing, and "oppression and tyrranny REIGNS"...and a once harmonious and prosperous LAND becomes a "breeding ground" for laziness and bullying.

As I think back to the TAKER cat this morning on the MICRO home front, ones "individual right" to eat at the expense of the "whole body of citizen-critters" living here is IRRESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT of assets and property. And by my "supporting THAT BEHAVIOUR" continuing to FEED it, then I am TEACHING the "means of obtaining" SOURCE is by FORCE and not "assimulating" into the melting pot and WORKING for it (capitalism at best). Now admittedly in my little micro yard, the work of making me smile, keeping the rats and moles away isn't much labor for a bowl of porridge. In my willingness to SHARE, do not attempt to come and TAKE OVER.

In American POLITICS today, there exists a misguided sympathy on not allowing anyone to go without.The USA has already hit the tipping point, especially in large metro areas such as

Chicago, Madison, NYC, LA, San Franciscco, Atlanta, Birmingham, Seattle, and other large metro cities that are run by the mob, organized crime, corrupt unions and DEMOCRATS. It is time for Red States that are fiscally and socially conservative to Take Our Country Back one State At A Time, and stop sending our tax dollars to Washington DC to be dispersed by the Socialist Politicians and Bureaucrats to the bankrupt and corrupt large cities. If NYC, Atlanta, LA and other BULLY Run Democrat Cities want to continue to support their welfare populations and unions, then let them fund themselves and stop fleecing the rest of Americans who actually work for a living and who run small businesses. The multi-national bankers and corporations benefit greatly from the Democrats in congress and in the White House while officially the Democrats Trash Them Publicly while these same corrupt bankers fund all Democrat Elections. Let the Corporate Elitists who fund Obama and the Democrats supply the Cash to Fund these Corrupt Government Programs and the rest of us just keep our cash at home and support legitimate governments in our home states.

Don't think YOUR VOTE isn't important this YEAR. ITS MORE IMPORTANT than ever...but more importantly is paying attention to the EFFECTS of what these monetary MOB RULE Dictatorship Policies are doing to the CITIZENS of America.
