The ant works
hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.The grasshopper
thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.Come winter, the ant is warm
and well fed.The grasshopper has
no food or shelter, so he
dies out in the cold.MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:Be responsible for yourself!MODERN
VERSIONThe ant works hard
in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter.The grasshopper thinks the ant
is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.Come winter, the shivering grasshopper
calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be
allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN,
and ABC show up to
provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper
next to a video of the ant
in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
America is stunned by the sharp contrast.How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper
is allowed to suffer so?Kermit the Frog appears
on Oprah
with the grasshopper
and everybody cries when they sing, ‘It’s Not Easy Being Green’Occupy the Anthill stages
a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, We shall overcome.Then Reverend Al Sharpton
has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper
while he damns the ants. He later appears on MSNBC to complain that rich people do not care.Former President Obama condemns the ant
and blamesDonald Trump, President Bush 43, President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the
Pope
for the grasshopper’s
plight.Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer
exclaim in an interview on The View
that the ant hasgotten rich off the back of the
grasshopper ,
and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.Finally, the EEOC drafts
the Economic Equity &
Anti-Grasshopper Act
retroactive to the beginning of
the summer.The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number
of green bugs and,having; nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by theGovernment Green Czar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and given to the grasshopper.The story ends as we see the grasshopper
and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in,which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant’s old
house,
crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn’t maintain it.The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken
over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood.The entire Nation collapses
bringing the rest
of the free world with it. -
I had a laugh at the read. The color reference gives this one a yellow card in today’s environment.

“I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I

Interesting yet instructive that that you or anyone plugged into the rhetoric of the MSM would focus on race in this hypothetical tale rather than the political narrative driving the progressive socialistic movement to destroy the structure of our society. I understand your perspective but if you focus on that only, you miss the larger and greater point. Big picture, PL. Do not fall into the trap of inferring that anyone is “racist” or any statement is “racist” as all progressives do when one points out the fallacy of their movement and actions. I do not find the above narrative amusing in the least. You are mirroring their ploy that if one uses satire to point out the usage of race as strategy of the political narrative of the Left, one is therefore using racist rhetoric. WTF. They us race as a cudgel and if you point that out and highlight it, even in a parody, you are racist. Sol Alinsky redux.
In this war (and that is what it is), any weapon is fair game and playing the race card, the sex card or any other card to mask the true nature of what is the end goal of the movement really is the game plan and has been since its inception. Oppose us and you are racist! St Louis is instructive. Under the new socialist DA regimes fostered by Soros and others, it is without consequence if one trespasses onto private property, threatens property owners goods and person and terrorizes a private neighborhood but it is a chargeable offense to use weapons legally licensed and obtained on one’s own land to deter such illegalities. (Apparently, one can also alter evidence to manufacture new charges) This has happened in Portland, Chicago, Detroit, Seattle, Minneapolis, NYC and other places. It will soon come to your town if the Dems win because no Dem will oppose the left wing of its party and the socialist mayors and DA`s enabling it. They are emboldened and will become increasingly so until the election to create chaos. Oppose us and you must be racist! It will only be stopped in its tracks at least temporarily if Trump wins the election.
“Live free or die” works for me while it seems so many prefer “Live scared rather than die” these days.

what is with all the Ant stories today. The Chinese just responded to Pompeo’s speech yesterday with the classic, “He is like an ant shaking the tree.”

Roscoe, perhaps those Chinese are whistling through the grave yard? Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Carpenter Ant. He does more than push on trees.
Here's a toast with one last pour, may it last forever and a minute more;
Good fortune seems to you have sung, to live and love way past long
