Analogy of the Month.

The other day I was watching the news, after awhile seeing the same crap over and over I decided to change the channel and watch Animal Planet. Steve Irwin's the Crocodile Hunter was on. He showed a story of a crocodile that was living in the marsh next to a military base in Florida. He was asked to come help take this massive beast to an area where visitors and base members couldn't feed it so easily. Apparently the giant croc was getting used to being fed and was now comfortable in the presence of humans. He was to catch the beast and with help move it to another remote location on the base where it would have less human contact. As Steve prepared the ropes to wrap around it's mouth after using a fish as bait, he had an unusually hard time getting the rope in position as the croc realized what was happening and began to runaway. Steve then dropped the ropes and flew on top of the great dinosaur, using his whole body and weight to hold it down. Soon the group of bystanders were running over and jumped on to help. They were all being dragged into the mud and ick where the animal could fight back. Steve Irwin grabbed his mouth and quickly lifted his legs when the other did the same and they were able to lift the dinosaur up and take it to the truck, where they traveled to their destination and released him back into the wild.

For days I thought about this as I realized that this is exactly like our situation with our own government. As they get ever more comfortable and closer to invading our work and homes, we must take action to drive them back to their natural habitat. We must as Americans work together to

catch this great beast before it invades our territory anymore. We must jump on top of this beast and keep it from dragging us all into the mud and ick of government slandering and hate. We must not take sides, but pick the best people (like Steve Irwin was the best man for the job) to help us put this government back in it's place. We cannot bicker back and forth about which side should have power, but which men and women would be the best for the job and would stand up for what's right. We cannot stand idly by and let this beast continue to inch it's way closer to our environment. We must stop it from getting to complacent and comfortable in it's ways, and remind it that it has a place to live and that it should stay there. Our founding fathers wanted government to be limited, and set up a great system. A system established by God to rule over a country that was set apart for freedom. These men that established this country with proper government values would be in utter disapproval that we would allow our government to become what they were willing to give their lives to escape. We owe it to them, ourselves, and our children to keep this government the way it was intended to be.
