The Scorpion and the Patriot, by Rep. Dave Howard

Subject: The Scorpion and the Patriot, by Rep Dave Howard

They are trying to kill America and themselves!

Why are secular progressives trying to destroy our Freedom and Liberty while destroying their own? They are killing America by passing the pork-loaded, fraud-laden stimulus, taking control of over 600 private banks, and the auto manufacturers by giving control to the unions as payback. They are trying to shove socialist health care down our throats by bribing senators to gain control over every citizen in America. They are sponsoring the fraud of global warming to justify the lie of cap and tax to nationalize private energy companies. Then worst, they are drowning America in trillions of dollars of debt, which will cause our future economic poverty. How can they do this, you ask.

There is a fable about a scorpion who asks a frog for a lift across the river. The frog, (a lover of freedom) very sensibly demurs; he has heard what scorpions (socialist) do with their stingers. The scorpion then reasons with the frog (hope and change) that it is silly to worry about his past reputation because if he killed the frog who was carrying him he would die himself. This is enough to persuade the feckless amphibian to trust the scorpion, (Like most Americans, the frog wants to think good of others and therefore believes the lie) and he takes on his dubious passenger. Halfway into the voyage the scorpion stings his host. The frog, in his death throes, says, "Why did you do that? Now you will die too." The scorpion replies, "It's our nature."

The scorpions past reputation of lies and treachery defined his nature and the secular progressives past defines their nature. Obama the leader of the secular progressives is a disciple of the radical organizer Saul Alinsky and was a “how to” trainer for the corrupt community organization called Acorn. He worshiped at the throne of a religion where hate was an anointed doctrine and praised the leader. Obama hired Van Jones, a self-professed Marxist as his Czar over non-existent green jobs as pay back for helping organize the stimulus package our two progressive Senators didn’t read but voted for. Obama, in full view of the world, bowed to honor foreign dictators who sponsor tyranny. He deceptively spoke about hope and lied about the change he would implement if elected. To name a few of his hundreds of lies, he lied about sponsoring transparency, he lied about the effect and reason for the stimulus, he lied about the elements in his socialist health care, and in his state of the union speech he filled it with dishonesty and deceit and all the progressives stood and gave him a resounding round of applause. Progressives will not stop the deception because they are always learning but cannot come to the knowledge of the truth. Like the scorpion, their past is the only thing that does not lie! Obama’s past is the only thing we can count on to forecast his future actions!

Is America’s president trying to drown America in trillions of dollars of debt so he and fellow congressional progressives can create a new order after America’s economic collapse? Should we fear secular progressives want statism, a scheme to turn America into a serfdom like a “Communist Socialist State” or maybe a European-style socialist democracy? Either way, if the secular progressives succeed, they will drown America in the river of inequity along with themselves. How can they do this, you ask. The progressive replies, “It’s our nature.”

Benjamin Franklin a patriot and founding father wanted America to avoid the debacle of statism when he replied to a woman who asked what kind of Government have you given us: “A Republic, Madam, if you can keep it.” Can we keep a government by the people for the people? Where government is subservient to the people and the people are in control of their own destiny?

Yes, I believe America patriots will keep our Republic because we are slowly rising from the throes of progressive treachery and are filled with righteous anger. Scott Browns election to the Senate in a liberal state is evidence of America’s patriot’s awareness of the progressive nature. This battle is no longer between Democrat and Republican. It is an ideological civil war where progressives are trying to annihilate the “Republic for which we stand.” A Republic built by the people, for the people in the name of Freedom and Liberty for all, but now it is under extreme assault by duly elected officials who are trying to destroy our Constitution and our Country. All Patriots know it is now time for the purest form of change, justice, and the progressive’s had better fear America’s past reputation.

Americans were born of the Sons and Daughters of Liberty, and weaned from tyranny on the blood that was poured out of their bodies fighting for Freedom and Liberty. Americans patriots sang the Battle Hymn of the Republic, “He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; His truth is marching on” as they fought and died in a bloody civil war uniting our country and freeing the slaves. Brave Americans stormed the beaches of Normandy, Iwo Jima, to name a few, and freed countries like Germany, Italy, Japan, France, and China, and lately Iraq and Afghanistan, fighting tyranny as we bled, died and mourned giving Freedom and Liberty to millions of innocent people. America is not faultless, it is merely the greatest country that has ever lived and its people have proven to be selfless making America the home of truth, the free, and the brave. This is why mere liars, the arrogant, scorpions, and the fornicators of liberty will not succeed in taking our freedom.

“We the People” of this great county are organizing, educating, and activating our army of patriots to vote these creatures out of office, both Democrats and those Republicans who have joined forces with the Scorpions in the attack against our Republic. Every patriot needs to get into action by every means available by educating themselves and others; spreading information the progressive media refuses to report; helping to get every voter their opportunity to cast their well-informed vote for Freedom and Liberty; holding local and national media accountable for their actions by writing editorials denouncing there bias then canceling subscriptions and organizing and supporting alternative media; organizing community meetings to discuss local and national politics and whether or not an elected officials in our state and federal government are behaving like Patriots or scorpions. Then we will vow to never again turn a blind eye to any politician. This will be the beginning of the end for progressives. They are no match for truth, righteousness, and the state of mind born from Patrick Henry, “give me liberty, or give me death,” as we sing Glory, glory, hallelujah!

How can they do this, the scorpions ask. The American Patriot replies, “It’s our nature.”

The fable - The Ant and the Grasshopper - updated

THE ANT AND THE

GRASSHOPPER

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 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

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.'

ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the

ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, "We shall overcome."

Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.

President Obama condemns the ant

and blames President Bush, 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 Government Green Czar

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'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

once 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 2010.

The Wolf and the Dog by Jean de La Fontaine, a fable

Does this sound familiar to anyone...the part about "being free", and being better than anything.




Title:
The Wolf And The Dog
Author: Jean de La Fontaine

A Wold was down to skin and bone
(The watch-dogs did their work so well).
He met a Mastiff, a tremendous swell,
Sleek, plump, and portly, straying all alone.
Here was a chance, to rend him limb from limb!
But no, he looked a nasty customer;
So with a smirk the Wolf makes up to him,
And compliments him on his corporation.
The Bandog said: 'It lies with you, fair Sir,
To be as fat as I am. Quit those woods,
Where you poor devils pig it in starvation -
Just fancy, no fixed meals, no fire, no bed,
A constant fight for daily bread!
Come on, I'll help you find a situation
Where you can have your share of this world's goods.
'Pray," asked the Wolf, 'what might the duties be?'
'Oh, just to chivy beggars,' answered he,
'And folk with crutches, suit the master's moods,
Make yourself pleasant to the family:
The wages - leavings of the choicest foods,
Chicken bones, pigeon bones, no lack,
And lots of scratching on the back.'
At such a prospect for his future years
The Wolf's eyes filled with wistful tears.
But as they went, he spied his friend's bald scruff.
'What's that?' he questioned him. ''Tis naught.'
'How, naught?' 'Well, nothing much.' 'But what?'
'The colar of my chain, 'tis like enough,
Has caused the trifling mark you see.'
'Your chain?' exclaimed the Wolf, 'then you're not free
To come and go?' 'Not always - but no matter."
'Indeed? It wouldn't do for me,'
Replied the starveling. 'You may be the fatter,
But I prefer my own sweet will
To all the riches of your platter.'
Therewith he ran: I guess he's running still.

Sort of a fable for you - Called "The Prize"

John was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young hens called 'pullets,' and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs. He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells.



John's favorite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, could run for cover. To John's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring.. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. John was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the Renfrew County Fair and he became an overnight sensation among the judges.



The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the ?No Bell Piece Prize? but they also awarded him the ?Pulletsurprise? as well.



Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most highly coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention.



Vote carefully ...the bells are not always audible...

The Little Red Hen - Or Obamanomics 101

The Little Red Hen

The little red hen called all of her Democrat neighbors together and
said, 'If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will
help me plant it?'
"Not I", said the cow.
"Not I", said the duck.
"Not I", said the pig.
"Not I", said the goose.

Then I will do it by myself, said the little red hen, and so she
did. The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain.
Who will help me reap my wheat? asked the little red hen.

"Not I", said the duck...
"Out of my classification", said the pig.
"I'd lose my seniority", said the cow.
"I'd lose my unemployment compensation", said the goose.

"Then I will do it by myself", said the little red hen, and so she did.
At last it came time to bake the bread.
"Who will help me bake the bread?" asked the little red hen.

"That would be overtime for me", said the cow.
"I'd lose my welfare benefits", said the duck.
"I'm a dropout and never learned how", said the pig.
"If I'm to be the only helper, that's discrimination", said the goose.

"Then I will do it by myself", said the little red hen.
She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to
see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little
red hen said, "No, I shall eat all five loaves."

"Excess profits!" cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi)
"Capitalist leech!" screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer)
"I demand equal rights!" yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson)
The pig just grunted in disdain. (Barney Frank)
And they all painted "Unfair!" picket signs and marched around and
around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.

Then the farmer (Obama) came. He said to the little red hen, "You
must not be so greedy."

"But I earned the bread," said the little red hen. "Exactly," said
Barack the farmer. "That is what makes our free enterprise system so
wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But
under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must
divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle."

And they all lived happily ever after, including the little red
hen, who smiled and clucked, "I am grateful, for now I truly
understand."

But her neighbors became quite disappointed in her. She never again
baked bread because she joined the "party" and got her bread free. And
all the Democrats smiled. "Fairness" had been established.

Individual initiative had died, but nobody noticed; perhaps no one
cared..so long as there was free bread paid for by "the rich".

EPILOGUE:
Bill Clinton is getting $12 million for his memoirs.
Hillary got $8 million for hers.
That's $20 million for the memories from two people, who for eight
years, repeatedly testified, under oath, that they couldn't remember
anything.

IS THIS A GREAT BARNYARD OR WHAT?
