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.


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
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 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 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 Lives Matter 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'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.



MORAL OF THE STORY:


Be careful how you vote 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.

This is going to happen regardless how anyone votes in 2020. We will NEVER see another republican president again after 2020. Just look at how much worse things have gotten over the least few years socially. Even under Trump things have gotten worse. Christians are hated more and more every day and more and more SJW’s rise up to tear down our institutions. Make no mistake that we are in a war for this nation right NOW. It is here. It’s not a war being fought with guns and bullets. It’s being fought with social media, entertainment, schools, colleges, and the media. Even large corporations have joined the war effort to destroy America. Our government is leading the charge with the FBI all the way up to the politicians. We are losing this war and losing badly. We’ve won some battles but nothing worth celebrating over. Our bill of rights and constitution are viewed as obsolete my many in this country. We have judges, politicians, law enforcement, and even military personnel breaking their oaths. I say it all the time and will continue to. If we don’t rise up and end this tyranny soon, we will watch this nation we love collapse. It cannot continue the course it’s on and survive. Voting isn’t going to change it. It hasn’t in decades and decades. No reason to believe it will magically work now.
