You may think this is a silly post, please, re-read the story, and think of liberals vs conservatives. I'd like to hear your comments. There's been so much in the news of preppers and how we're freaks. This may help some of you with lib friends or relations (serious think of purging them, I'm only stuck with on hardcore lib sil). Hey libs, your slip is showing.

It's a simple concept most children can think of. IMO, it's a great way to illustrate 'fairness'. (I changed corn to wheat from the source, because that's the way I learned it.)

Unfortunately, the new ending for this “lesson” would read something like this.

The pig, duck and cat sued the little red hen for not paying her “fair share” and they demanded she give up 90% of the corn since she was “rich” and could afford it.

One of the earliest lessons I remember is the “Little Red Hen”. Simple and true, but far too logical for the liberal mind.

The Ant and the Grasshopper - Revised edition **** 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 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 EasyBeing Green'. Occupy the Anthill stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the SEIU group singing, We Shall Overcome. Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake, while he damns the ants. President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush 43, President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the Pope for the grasshopper's plight. 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 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 GovernmentGreen Czar and given to thegrasshopper. The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food 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.

Things have changed; I guess you didn't get the memo. :-)

I’m intrigued. How did this become a Bible story?

So the 3 non-productive animals got together and voted for a “transformational” African weasel who stole the bread from the hen and “redistributed” a few crumbs (and free wireless phones) to his
Unproductive “base.” End of story, as the hen quit working anymore (because she was a greedy,selfish uncaring Republican to begin with, and we’d fry her for dinner except we’re all too damned lazy so we’ll just sit on our fat asses and use our nice, shiny new free phones to arrange our next drug buy. The damned hen should count her blessings!)

The pig, the duck and the cat all stood and watched as the little red hen ate the loaf all by herself. It was delicious and she enjoyed it, right to the very last crumb.

But the pig, the duck and the cat were "takers" and rushed the little red hen to seize the loaf. Fortunately, the little red hen had a semi-automatic rifle, and that night she salted some bacon, cooked duck a l'orange and made a nice warm, fur muffler.

I loved this fable as a child. Between it and school projects where other students wanted me in their group "so they didn't have to work", it made being a modern liberal philosophically impossible for me.

in today’s america the pig, cat and duck would have flash mobbed the hen, and stomped her to death, to get her loaf of bread she was selfishly not sharing with them. because she didn’t bake that loaf of bread. - king obama
