Northwest Indiana Discussion

The Ant and the Grasshopper (Classic 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 and no shelter, so he dies out in the cold...alone.

The Ant and the Grasshopper (Liberal 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, 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.

Barack Obama exclaims in an interview with Katie Couric that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share".

Finally, the EEOC drafts the "Economic Equity and 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 old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal judges that Bill appointed from a list 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 to the ground 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.

Smartest thing he's ever posted.

That ought to be some f'n collection of winners. Old hippies and draft-dodgers like "youknowwho48", misguided young students and their liberal anti-American "educators", welfare parasites, union knuckledraggers, and every kind of misfit imaginable....yep, some f'n collection of winners.

You'll fit right in chuckweird? Actually, chuckweird won't be there. He pukes his rhetoric out on these message boards, but he's too damn lazy to actually get off his ass and attend.

Hey Chuckmo, I saw you whining and crying to the aging Chicago homo OTOB about getting "slammed" in this thread because of your opinions. While your opinions are dead wrong and really do suck, that's not why you get slammed and are thought of as a board laughingstock. Much like your fellow laughingstock and punching bag "Angry Ed", you get slammed because of the way you conduct yourself, and because of your stated reason for posting on this board in the first place...a rabid hatred of conservatives and a desire to try and antagonize them (quote provided for reference)..........

Uuummmmm....because it's run by a mental patient who, if something bothers him or if his boy is getting his ass kicked by Happy Jack..he censors it? Ooorrrrrrr...because the most prevalent poster over there is a hateful, lonely, frustrated, angry, aging queen who doesn't appear to have a decent bone in his body and who expresses EVERYTHING in terms of how much he hates it?

Speaking of pure, venomous hate chuckles, why did you quit Sparks hate page on Facebook,,and why did you join it in the first place? What exactly did the Preacher do to you?

Why are you lying chuckles? You were crying to Artie because you were getting "slammed" by the "cons" every time you posted in this thread. "Cons" like Moby. Is this not true chuckweird?
