Should I Vote Democrat or Republican? Be Careful How You Vote!

This is my favorite email of the week.  And with the 2008 Presidential election right around the corner, this story has two great lessons we should all definitely remember!

Awsop's Favle told and retold.....

OLD VERSION:
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!

MODERN VERSION:
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."

Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome."  Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.  Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry 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 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.  Hillary gets her former employer, the Rose Law Firm, to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a jury comprised of single-parent welfare recipients.  The ant loses the case.

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.

Conservative vs. Liberal Beliefs

Here's some good common sense reading if you're bored this weekend.  John Hawkins wrote a great article about the difference between Conservatives and Liberals at Townhall.com.

This article by David Francis at the University of Arizona sheds light on the World Can't Wait movement and their Communist roots.

If you missed the illegal immigration BlogBurst this week, it's because Jake and the Freedom Folks were in Washington DC.  They were participating in Hold Their Feet to the Fire, a grassroots American lobbying effort against amnesty for illegal immigrants.  In order to expose the illegal alien amnesty being promoted by George Bush (aka the Kennedy-McCain Amnesty Bill that will give up to 20 million illegal aliens a 'pathway to citizenship'), 35 national radio hosts descended on our nation’s capital this past week, to Hold Their Feet to the Fire!  Be sure to check back for next week's BlogBurst - I know it will be enlightening as always!

Illegal Aliens & What The Liberal Media Won't Tell Us

Here's an excerpt from an email I received from Grassfire.org.  It's right on target, and I couldn't have said it better myself:

"...the liberal media is pushing an open borders agenda!

Take a look in the paper, on the news, and you'll see countless stories of how illegal immigrants want only to come to the U.S. and do the "jobs that Americans won't do".  Sadly, that's simply not the truth.

The liberal media isn't going to report the fact that only 2 percent of illegal aliens are actually picking fruit and vegetables, but 41 percent are on welfare!

The liberal media isn't going to report that 1 in 10 babies born in the U.S. are to illegal aliens.

The liberal media isn't going to report that 60 percent of Housing and Urban Development funds go to illegal aliens.

This is the truth that isn't being reported by the liberal media, and it has got to stop!  Americans interested in secured borders need the truth!

ABC's 'Path to 9/11' Movie Sucked

Okay, so I didn't see the first part of the movie on Sunday night, but I was okay with missing the Clinton years (I already lived through them once, and once is MORE than enough!).  But I did watch during the Bush years last night and I don't see what all the fuss was about.  To me, the right should have been more bothered by this movie than the Democrats.  Like anything else on ABC, I thought the always present liberal bias was definitely there.

I didn't like the fact that this movie portrayed Dick Cheney as a wrinkly old angry man.  Okay, we know the guy's old but come on!  I was also bothered by the little poke the movie made at Bush's war on terrorist financing.  I think stopping terrorist financing is extremely important and has probably been a huge part of the reason we haven't been attacked again since 9/11.  But then, I already agreed with him and didn't need convincing...so I'm sure most liberals who watched missed the boat on that subject as usual.

Overall, I thought the movie pretty much sucked.  I almost fell asleep several times.  I will say I think the movie definitely made the case for President Bush's so-called 'eavesdropping programs' as well as the need to secure our border.   I just hope that the people who watched can see the connection between 9/11 and illegal immigration.  If immigration laws were enforced, perhaps the World Trade Center would still be standing and thousands of Americans would still be alive.

I'm no movie critic, but I give both ABC and their 9/11 movie a big "L" for "LOSER"!

Who the Heck is Denny Crane?

Okay, so the "Denny Crane!" category really doesn't belong here.  But it's my blog and I say he can stay! 

So who's Denny Crane anyway?  He's the character played by William Shatner in the ABC TV show Boston Legal.  Yes, I do change my TV channel to ABC instead of FOX News on rare occassions, but don't tell!

Anyway, Denny Crane's a high priced attorney who's so good, all he has to do is walk into court and say, "Denny Crane", and he wins the case!  Seems ludicrous, but afterall, isn't our legal system pretty insane in real life too? 

Although Denny Crane is a partner in the firm (his name is on the door!), he's the most outrageous lawyer on the show.  He has early stages of Alzheimers, but doesn't want to admit it so he calls it "Mad Cow Disease".  He's also the only conservative character on the show - all the other lawyers are liberals so they especially think he's a nut.  So why does ABC have to make the only Republican on the show the crazy guy.  Wishful thinking I guess...'cause we all know the liberals are the real nutjobs!

The show is hilarious in spite of ABC's liberal bias.  The new season premier is on September 19th.  I highly recommend it!
