“BILLY” THE LEADER

Billy, an old goat, is peacefully grazing on some lush new grass in the pasture. Although he is the only goat in the pasture, he is accompanied by a large herd of sheep. Billy has been around for a number of years and he is a pretty shrewd fellow, unlike the dumb sheep which follow him about everywhere he goes. All of the animals raised their heads when they heard a man in the distance calling, “Billy. Come here Billy”.

Billy knew that a special treat of grains and fruit would be awaiting him, so he willing headed towards the man, still followed by all of the sheep. The man opened a gate and Billy walked through it into the pen with the sheep close behind. When the last of the sheep had entered the gate, the man closed it behind them. He then opened a small side gate and let Billy out. Billy was given his special treat of grain and fruit.

The man, who was the owner of the ranch, signaled his helper to start letting the sheep enter through a swing gate into two separate chutes, one leading to building “A” and the other to building “B”. He called out as each of the sheep entered the swing gate. The sheep which were in prime condition entered the chute leading to building “A” while the sheep which were old, lame, or otherwise not in prime condition entered the chute leading to building ”B”.



After several hours the sheep which had entered building “A” exited the building, shorn of their fleece. They joined Billy, along with a number of young sheep, to once again graze in the pasture. The sheep which had entered building “B” were seen being herded into the rear of a large truck. A sign on the side of the truck read, “Hyram’s Quality Mutton”.

Mutton?  Mutton!!!

Billy is known as a “Judah’s Goat”, because he betrays those that follow him. The same name can also be applied to people who, as the leaders of other people, betray their followers by lying to them about their real intentions. Can you think of anyone to whom this name might apply? How about Barack Obama? He is followed by millions of people, willing to believe his words of wanting to help them by bringing them peace, prosperity, and good health through hope and change. However, his real intentions are to do away with our republic, founded by our forefathers in the Constitution, and to replace it with a socialist state where the government controls every aspect of our lives.

Our children and grandchildren will never know what a great country America was to live in and their standard of living will be much worse than what we have now. We will become a second class country, sharing the same fate as Greece, Rome, and other great civilizations that have fallen. All because people trusted one man who followed the dreams of his mentors, most of whom were communists.
