The Ant and the Grasshopper

Published at October 21, 2009 in Domestic Politics and The Economy. 0 Comments

ant-and-grasshopper I received this e-Mail from a friend the other day and would like to share the stories with you in case you haven’t seen them. Any resemblance between version number two and the current government regime’s method of operation is purely intentional.

Two different versions — two different morals. When referring to the Left, I use the term “moral” advisedly.

Traditional - Version #1:

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 story: Be responsible for yourself!

Contemporary - Version #2:

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 shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are 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.’

Acorn stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, ‘We shall overcome.’ Rev. Jeremiah Wright then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake.

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant has gotten 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 Discrimination 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 the Government Green Czar.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant’s old house, crumbles around him because he doesn’t maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow.

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 once peaceful neighborhood.

Moral of the story: Be careful how you vote in 2010. The rights you save may be your own!

So it is written — so it shall be.

Kid in the Attic - Update

Balloon Boy: Sheriff holds news conference calling incident a hoax!

I think the headline from Entertainment Weekly speaks for itself — just click on it to read the article. I’m happy to see they’re ‘throwing the book‘ at the parents. Hopefully, it’s not too late to set the kids on the right path!

The Kid in the Attic

Published at October 17, 2009 in People Parade. 0 Comments

flying-saucer-balloon Whether or not the saga of that boy thought to be in the runaway balloon is true or some kind of hoax, the family should be receiving a pretty hefty bill for search and rescue resources that were put into play. Should be, but I’m not holding my breath. They never seem to charge those goofy-Guses who go out and get stuck on a mountain because “it was there,” so I doubt this will be any different.

While I’m glad things turned out well for the boy, I should think there would be more than an invoice to pay if it was a hoax. There are severe penalties for turning in a false fire alarm and this event triggered a whole lot more than a few red trucks and a spotted dog.

I just don’t find the family’s story credible or their acting very convincing. The kid hiding in the attic while admitting he heard people calling him, saying he “was told he was doing it for the show” — plus having a couple of reverse protein spills during questioning in front of a national television audience didn’t help persuade me of anyone’s sincerity either.

Personally, I think the entire family is loopy and, if I were a betting man, I’d say the whole matter was as phony as Global Warming — or cooling — or whatever that new political religion is about.

And The Winner Is…

Published at October 14, 2009 in Stuff. 0 Comments

nobelli-pizza-prize It has been widely mis-reported in the government media that the acting president has received The Nobel Peace Prize. Since I couldn’t believe such a prestigious organization would honor non-achievement so publicly, without the recipient or recipients’ direct involvement in international terrorism, I investigated.

Sure enough, I was right! It was not the group in Oslo but rather a consortium of pizza pie gourmets in Naples, Italy that bestows this award for “Annual volume of tomato pie consumption by a world citizen,” to quote a spokesperson. The confusion which has occurred throughout the civilized world is apparently a result of the similarity in names. The award actually won by the current White House occupant is The Nobelli Piece Prize. Notice the differences in spelling. Despite the confusion, this is an historic occasion since it marks the first time the prize has been awarded to anyone weighing less than 350 pounds.

This prestigious award was originated in 1972 by Alfredo Nobelli, owner and operator of Nobelli’s Pizza Parlor and Car Wash in St. Louis, Missouri. Alfredo was originally from Naples and immigrated to America as an illegal in 1971. The following year he financed the first “Piece Prize” out of gratitude to his newly adopted country, with money saved from his welfare checks. It is not clear whether Mr. Nobelli ever became a citizen or even got a green card. He could not be reached for comment.

There seems to be no connection between the now famous pizza parlor and Rush Limbaugh’s desire to by the St. Louis Rams, even though he has frequently used the phrase, “Mmm, mmm, mmm!” I believe this reference has more to do with the political indoctrination of students in a New Jersey public school than with the consumption of tomato pies, with or without pepperoni.

Remember — the buck starts here!

Preserving America

Published at September 16, 2009 in War Against Freedom. 0 Comments

It’s no longer about Republican vs Democrat or Right vs Left. It’s no longer even about right and wrong. It’s about freedom vs oppression, liberty vs tyranny. It’s about the people against a government out of control! If one thing was evident, reading the signs and sensing the mood at this weekend’s Washington march, it was the resolve of ordinary citizens not to relinquish our country to the radicals and ideologues that have taken our government hostage.

While they choose to ignore the Second American Revolution that is taking root, those elected but failing to represent us do so at their own peril. They have forgotten they work for us and can be fired next year. In a mere seven months, together with the Marxists and shadow government czars doing ‘Bama’s bidding, these officials have inflicted more damage upon the greatest nation on Earth from within than all the armies, explosives and madmen that have challenged us from across the sea. Unlike our more submissive European brothers and sisters, we will not quietly submit to a takeover by tyrants. Americans have been down that road before and have proven our metal.

The one promise the acting president has actually kept is to unite us. He has united the mainstream majority and awakened those who have too long been asleep. He has unwittingly watered the seeds of freedom and they will be nurtured and grow with each new bureaucratic atrocity. That was apparent during the march, the ranks of which swelled beyond anyone’s expectations. Estimates range from a low-ball 70,000 to as many as 1,000,000 people. Anyone familiar with the geography of D.C. can see just from the pictures, that if not a million, at least several hundred thousand came to demand return of our country. All but the state controlled media, even the British press, reported a greater number of people than attended the Obamination on January 20th.

This was a massive coming together of Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Asians and all persuasions of American patriot. As I said to a Left-leaning friend of mine, listening to him defend the indefensible and trivialize the Tea Party movement — “If we had guys like you in 1776, today we’d all be speaking with an English accent and hurling four letter epithets at other drivers from the left hand side of the road instead of the right.” I hope he’s still my friend.

Here are a few pictures from what I have come to call Saturday’s March for Freedom.

By the way, flags were at half staff because of the death of Ted Kennedy — don’t let any Libs tell you different. Too bad we didn’t have a few tons of tea to toss into the Potomac as an added exclamation point!

Barack O’Moses Ten Commandments

Published at August 25, 2009 in Domestic Politics and War Against Freedom. 0 Comments

obama-moses After observing Barack Hussein Obama on the campaign trail and during his first six months in Washington, The Patriot Update concluded that the acting president lives and governs according to his own set of “Ten Commandments.” These are NOT the same Commandments you learned in Sunday School — in fact, many are the exact opposite! To verify the accuracy of The Patriot’s conclusions, you’ll find a link to its source after the ‘Obamafied’ version of each Commandment.

So let it be written, so let it be regurgitated:

I. Thou shalt have no God in America, except for me. For we are no longer consider ourselves a Christian nation and, after all, I am the chosen One. (And like God, I do not have a birth certificate.) SOURCE

II. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, unless it is my face carved on Mt. Rushmore. SOURCE

III. Thou shalt not utter my middle name in vain (or in public). Only I can say Barack Hussein Obama. SOURCE

IV. Remember tax day, April 15th, to keep it holy. SOURCE

V. Honour thy father and thy mother until they are too old and sick to care for. Then they shall be released to eternity for they will cost our public-funded health-care system too much money. SOURCE

VI. Thou shalt not kill, unless you have an unwanted, unborn baby. For it would be an abomination to punish your daughter with a baby. SOURCE

VII. Thou shalt not commit adultery if you are a Conservative or Republican. Liberals and Democrats are hereby forgiven for all of their infidelity and immorality, but the careers of Conservatives will be forever destroyed. SOURCE

VIII. Thou shalt not steal, until you’ve been elected to public office. Only then is it acceptable to take money from hard-working, successful citizens and give it to those who do not work, illegal immigrants, or those who do not have the motivation to better their own lives. SOURCE

IX. Thou shalt not discriminate against thy neighbor unless they are Conservative, Caucasian, or Christian. SOURCE

X. Thou shalt not covet because it is simply unnecessary. I will place such a heavy tax burden on those that have achieved the American Dream that, by the end of my term as President, nobody will have any wealth or material goods left for you to covet. SOURCE

Hey, did you hear the one about the incompetent Marxist who ran for President and won? No. It’s not a joke. It actually happened in a place I used to know.

What About Pete?

Published at August 22, 2009 in People Parade. 0 Comments

pete-rose1 While Stalinists are busy overthrowing our government in Washington, flying just below the radar is the biggest waste of sub-human genetic material since Charles Manson and he’s headed back to the N.F.L. I’m talking about the newest Philadelphia Eagle, Michael Vick. I don’t know what they were thinking — or if they were thinking at all.

For the cruelty and suffering he inflicted upon some of the most innocent of God’s creatures, he should have received more than the simple sentence he was given and now, after little more than a year, he’s free to earn millions again, playing the sport he loves. There are bleeding hearts that would prefer to believe he’s rehabilitated and has paid his debt to society — but you don’t rehab away the kind of unfeeling, heartless brutality of which Vick has shown himself capable. My dog doesn’t like to fight. He’s my best buddy. We play. For that crime, would this Neanderthal electrocute him or coldly slam this gentle soul to the ground until death finally eased his pain, as he did so many others?

vic-injured-pit If this butcher can be given a second chance, what about Pete Rose? Pete was one of the most aggressive players ever to take the field in baseball. He made a series of bets, favoring his own team, and was banned from both the game and the Hall of Fame for life. Numerous appeals have been denied over the years and “Charlie Hustle” has accepted the injustice to this day, though he never committed anything like the dispicable acts of a Michael Vick. If this guy is anywhere near organized football again, then Pete Rose deserves a public apology, compensation for his lost years and full reinstatement to the game and The Hall.

Other teams had the moral integrity to turn Vick away but that’s a quality, apparently, missing in Philly. If you had an electron microscope, you couldn’t find my concern if he were to wind up on the receiving end of a career-ending tackle. Personally, I’ve already watched my last Eagles game and that may have been one too many.

Amerika with a “K”

Published at August 13, 2009 in War Against Freedom. 0 Comments

weeping-liberty We are in a civil war. It’s not in Iraq or Afghanistan but right here in America. Make no mistake about it. Ordinary, Middle Class working people are under attack and assault by the government and, at least for the moment, our weapons are words and votes. You see, the Middle Class has no place in a dictatorship so, one way or the other, we must be eliminated. ‘Bama’s guru Saul Alinsky would be pleased!

Not only are we being labeled mobsters, Nazis, racists, extremist radicals and being compared with the KKK by the likes of House Madam Pelosi, but the acting president himself has told honest citizens to shut up and “get out of the way” as they try to exercise their First Amendment RIGHTS! Barack Hussein ‘Chavez’ has dispatched union thugs and gorillas to rough up and intimidate cancer patients, the elderly and people in wheelchairs at town hall meetings, while brandishing two devastating weapons that will both dismember America and eliminate our individual liberty.

Cap and Tax legislation is slipping along under the radar, while he prepares to jam socialized medicine down the throats of the vast majority of Americans by triggering the so-called “nuclear option” of reconciliation. These two measures would provide the government with direct control over nearly every aspect of our lives — not only how we live but whether we are, in fact, permitted to live at all. This in America!

Let me ‘unspin’ a few items here. The State-run media are correct about one thing, socialism IS a code word but not the way they imply. It is a code word for Marxism [which is really what we're talking about] just as single payer is a polite way of saying socialized medicine. I keep hearing those opposing the proposed Democrat legislation referred to as being against health care reform. I have neither met nor spoken with anyone who is against reform – just against the destruction of the finest health care system in the world and replacing it with an old, failed mechanism which has bankrupted the government and neglected the people in every country where it has been tried.

I am not ready to see infants, children and the disabled simply cast aside — nor am I prepared to have some government bureaucrat hand me a bunch of immoral End of Life options [see HR 3200 - section 1233] because I’m draining his system and don’t pay enough taxes anymore. I’ll decide when I want off life’s fantastic ride or my family or God will decide — but not some political appointee who is more concerned with saving money than with health or human beings!

Too many have sacrificed and died for too many years to bring our nation to the level of greatness and individual freedom we enjoy today, only to have some upstart with a failed ideology and a chip on his shoulder for America [who more than likely may not even be a citizen of this country] disassemble it in a mere matter of months. The more we are pushed toward tyranny, the harder we must push back to stay free!

Watching the Tea Parties and Town Meetings I have noticed that, while the elderly are concerned about their health care, those who are younger worry about their liberty. When do we dust off the Constitution? It has been torn and trampled but I think most of us can still see through the footprints.
