  • The Ant Story - Build up to elections in SA

    ORIGINAL 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.

    SABC1, 2 and 3 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. The world 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 Good Morning with the grasshopper, and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.'

    Demonstrations are held in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.'

    TV commentators explain that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and there are calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.

    Finally, the Government 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 and handed to relatives of the grasshopper.

    The grashopper instigates a lawsuit against the ant, and the case is tried under the watchfull eyes of the trade unions.

    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 neighbourhood.

    MORAL OF THE STORY:
    Be VERY careful how you vote in 2009!!

    Very good parable.

    The grasshopper in this parable is a “fascist liberal”.

    The grasshopper probably called the ant greedy for working so hard and being so prosperous and successful. The grasshopper probably uses rhetoric to stir up hate against the ant by saying he is a corporate and/or Jewish ant.

    ------------

    I find it ironic that the ants/liberals try to portray others as greedy.

    Whom do you think is more greedy.

    1: Someone like the ant who honestly/morally studies, plans and works hard for their wealth?

    2: Or someone like the grasshopper that squanders away their life and refuses to study or work to contribute to society or honestly prosper themselves; instead grasshoppers expect bum/steal wealth from ants without having to do honest work?

    ------------

    I’m afraid that much of society is becoming more like grasshoppers; as evident by the last US elections. I think that’s why the US and much of the world’s economy is starting to falter. Hitler and Osama bin Laden would applaud the Grasshoppers for advancing their cause.

    I think the grasshopper in this parable is more like a leech (parasite) than a grasshopper.

    (Please note again; then I don’t necessarily think all liberals are bad, just the fascist ones. I’ve noticed that most of the people that proclaim themselves to be liberal are not a very liberal, they are fascist. Also please note that I‘m not necessarily criticizing parties that use the word liberal in the name of their party. I‘m oblivious to the Australian political system)

    I suggest reading a book called Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning by Jonah Goldberg. It shows how shallow minded and dishonest people are that claim that the term “Liberal Fascism” is an oxymoron.

    Liberal Fascism (part one)
    Please keep all comments and debates civil, no vulgarities, ECT...Many of the things that fascist liberals push that are allegedly good for us, actually end ...

              You ask a question that I had already answered.

              The other fascist grasshopper aka JordanD is up to his usual typical trolling and slandering. He typically tries to project his faults onto his opponents. I obviously don’t do crack so he must be talking about himself.

              It seems Jordan has a history of taking psychotropic drugs for his mental illness and/or recreational use.

              I don’t want to take the Fascist Liberal crazy pills. (that’s a loose reference to my explanation in #2 that references the liberal use of illicit drugs (such as LSD) that can induce mental illness)

              Actually there are two directions that the Kool-Aid reference is often made to historically:

              1: As in poison. Such as the Fascist Liberal religious cultist fanatics that took a drink aid laced with poison in a mass suicide. Such as the Jim Jones’s Jonestown massacre or Marshall Applewhite’s Heaven’s Gate.

              2: Illicit drugs that induce mental illness/delusions/hallucinations. Such as fascist liberals that traveled throughout the US countryside promoting the use of LSD and to drop out of society and to rebel against society. They promoted a form of socialism/communism/Marxism as well as LSD use. They were known as the Merry pranksters in the electric Kool-Aid acid test.

              As a matter of circumvention: (now I suspect many of you fascist liberals would try to try chime in and cite that the studies don’t prove that LSD is linked to mental illness. I disagree. The studies that fascist liberals often cite are using a government grade lab quality LSD that is more pure and less likely to induce mental illness. The typical street LSD is much more dangerous and more likely to induce mental illness. Most of the LSD users I know are liberal and are schizophrenic and/or paranoid delusional many with the propensity of violence)
              Or like in this case or he proves himself a typical fascist liberal that lies slanders and trolls and derails threads.

              Unlike Jordan, I am not a kid and do not think flatulence is hilarity.

              Quite on the contrary unlike Jordan and his fascist liberal mob; I do not take kindly to uncivil four letter words, and other unnecessary vulgar or otherwise inappropriate uncivilized language.

              I suspect as usual JordanD was trying to bait me and set me up to try to get the moderators to delete my comments; regrettably sometimes the friendly skies are so unfriendly on this message board and others that you get away with your fascist game. You troll, lie and slander and if I defend myself with the truth are often find myself censored. Absolutely pathetic. But it just proves my point: how popular that fascism is becoming.

              This is what I posted July-7-2007 on my video description on the Bud Holland B-52 mishap; because (typical liberals) immature uncivilized trolling drama queens like yourself kept posting uncivilized language.

              Since then you fascist liberals have been having a hissy fit; because you think it is your right to post uncivilized comments on my video comments ( like vulgarities, slander or and straw arguments).


              I think another good example was my video on the USS Forrestal Mishap; fascist liberals were so eager to steal and rig the election that they started to smear John McCain by trying to rewrite history and make up a moronic lie that “John McCain” started fire with a wet start. Despite the fact that the video evidence and the findings from all the credible investigations clearly show that John McCain was not at fault. There was voltage surge when switching from the APU that went through the weapons system and fired a Zuni rocket; that slammed into John McCain’s aircraft. John McCain was the victim of this tragedy; yet fascist liberals are so morally bankrupt that they lied and tried to twist this tragedy into appearing to be McCain’s fault.

              That’s how sick you fascist liberals are. You don’t care about truth, facts or morals if it doesn’t meet your selfish greed. You are sociopaths.

              Happy now?

                ATFS,

                What I'm getting from that is that you're making the assumption that anyone of us that doesn't think the same way or do the same things as you is a "liberal fascist." Just about every post I've seen from you has that term in it, and things have to be taken with a grain of salt around here. Have some fun with it.
                Personally, the beginning of this thread is funny to read, but it has a strong point behind it. also.

                  I called you out on your ridiculous arguments against people who happen to disagree with you. Just like Hitler!

                  I'd say comparing anybody you don't agree with to the nazis is pretty goddamned childish. Does it hurt having your head jammed that far up your own ass?

                      As I have repeatedly pointed out. Fascism is almost everywhere as it is popular. While I feel that Fascism is most prevalent in the Democratic Party and other self-professed liberal/socialist/progressive parties/movements it has worked its way even into the Republican Party. I find it quite ironic that liberals feel they can make casual and recklessly accusing/stereotyping/typecasting people and organizations as Nazis, fascists, dictators, racists; however when I point out that there policies and methodologies and the historical facts show that liberals/Democrats are a lot more honest and prevalent to describe them as Nazis, fascists, dictators, racists.

                      Contrary to the claims of this message board “as being the friendly skies” I find it is much more typically like most message boards; a mob mentality much like the fascists/Nazis used to promote.

                      It seems okay For some people to lie and slander and dishonestly call people names. Yet, hypocritically if some people speak the truth and stick to the facts and call people names that represent the truth; there often seems to be a mob mentality to gang up attack and delete their posts. There seems to be a very heavy liberal biased/politically correct/mob mentality.

                      Sometimes when I’m using the word fascist; I’m using it in a tongue in cheek fashion or preemptively to try to inoculate against any fascist rhetoric. It’s also a matter of giving fascist liberals a little taste of their own medicine. I find the double standard to be ridiculous.

                      Hypocrisy. I have called you out on your fascism and the obvious and blatant lies and slander.

                      Once again you are proving what a dishonest hypocritical arrogant foul mouth fascist hothead you are. Just like Hitler you can’t have an intelligent civilized conversation.

                      Much like Hitler and other fascists you frequently resort to unfounded personal attacks, use vulgarities, profanities, etc… Hitler was a type to frequently used street names for sex acts and sexual body parts; much like you do. Hitler didn’t even know the proper names for most sex acts and sexual body parts; I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re the same.
