Irony - two Statements that speak volumes

Irony 1
We are told NOT to judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics. BUT, on the other hand, we are also encouraged TO judge ALL Gun Owners by the actions of a few lunatics. How is that supposed to work???

Irony 2
The Food Stamp Program, administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the greatest amount of free Meals and Food Stamps ever, to 47 million people, as of the most recent figures available in 2013.

Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals". Their stated reason for the policy is because, "The animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves".

Thus Ends Today's Lesson on Irony

    That's a fact jack. Typical of the statist "Do as we say, not as we do" mentality that has invaded all aspects of government; like a parent without a good reason, simply "BECAUSE".

    Two of the best examples I've seen in a long time. They really cause one to stop and think about the almost schizophrenic nature of our government and society. Is it any wonder the society funtions so poorly?
