Received this in my email this AM from a friend;




The ANT AND THE
GRASSHOPPER

This one is a little different ...

Two Different Versions ...
Two Different Morals

OLD VERSION

The ant works
hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

MODERN VERSION:

The 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 antshould 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 poorgrasshopper
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
Black L***s M****r 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 blames
Donald 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 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 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, 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'sfood 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'tmaintain 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.


MORAL OF THE STORY:

Be careful how you v**e in 2020.





I've sent this to you because I believe that you are an ant
not a grasshopper!


Make sure that you pass
this on to other ants.


Don't bother sending
it on to any grasshoppers
because they wouldn't
understand it, anyway.

AOC will be in congress or the senate for as long as she wants to be and you may see her as a cabinet member VP or president. Contrary to your nonsensical opinion she is loved in her district, man made c*****e c****e is settled science and its effect on weather including increased flooding is undeniable except to i***ts bamboozled by the f****l f**l industry. Even the nutters here are switching from c*****e c****e denial to saying that c*****e c****e is good because we will be able to grow oranges in Minnesota or some other such rubbish.

I don't see why you have to twist the facts in order to insult someone's opinion. Does it make you feel superior some how? NOBODY said that with a national ID, people would be "forced to show papers on demand". Are you a f*****t, or what? BUT, if you want to board an airplane, or v**e -- show your ID.

Nobody said that you may not speak or read another language, other than English. But English IS our official language. If you want to stay here and become a citizen, you really should learn English.

And about term limits -- apparently you believe that after Trump's two terms, he should be allowed to continue with a third term. After all, he is doing a fantabulous job and should be allowed to continue. But we have a few senile fossils in Congress who are a waste of space. How do these people keep getting elected? We have a few on both sides of the isle who should go, starting with Maxine Waters.

Well, do you know what socialism is? I mean really: I’m interested in hearing what you fear or like about it. Public Schools are good, right? Public Works- road maintenance, parks, electric. And public service like police and fire, courts, tax assessors- all of it to support We The People. And the places that privatized public services screwed us. The Prison system is the perfect example.
But we *are* a socialist country. The root word, social, refers to Society. We are tribal people. We do not do well on our own- isolated. And the US hasn’t fought an honest war since 1945. I have so many younger friends who enlisted and served tour after tour in Afghanistan and Iraq. Some died there, others died after they returned. What does the Middle East War (2003 -present) have to do with our way of life? What were my friends fighting for?
I seriously welcome the opportunity to learn from you; to share our ideas.
Let’s start with “socialist.” For 17 of my 32 years working I taught public school. I served the public. I’ve been in the trenches of service to my country. Instead of a rifle I carried a baton, lesson plans, and an iPod. But service just the same.
Are services that benefit the whole society a bad thing or a good thing and how are we defining “social”?

For 16 years, most adult Americans went to school.

And after a moment of silence, all the students in one voice said,

"I pledge allegiance to the F**g
Of the United States of America,
and to the Republic, for which it stands,
One nation, Under God, Indivisible
For liberty and Justice for all..."

I wonder how many Americans, still take that pledge....


In the military, the oath was as follows:

"I, Do solemnly swear, that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States
against all enemies foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States, and the orders of officers appointed over me....."

Has anything changed, do you still pledge alliencience, will you still take the oath? I wonder...

You are sorely confused if you think its okay to continue committing sins because they are "forgiveable" -that's not how God works. "Do not be deceived for God is not mocked. Wh**ever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."- Galatians 6
-Witnessing Trump calling African countries "s**t holes" and claiming "Mexicans are rapists and drug dealers" is definitely r****m
-Witnessing Trump banning people of color because they worship Islam is definitely discrimination
-Witnessing Trump separate parents and children at the border is both r****m and discrimination
-Adultery, lying, and money laundering are all sins...just because they can be forgiven (which takes serious repentance <which means working very hard not to do those sins again) doesn't make it okay to do them...especially deliberately.
Blade - I understand your thought process, unfortunately, it is horribly skewed. sad.
