Follow-up to "The Ant and the Grasshopper"

Today’s post is a follow-up to yesterdays write up on the “Ant and the Grasshopper”analogy” which I received in an email from a fellow political activist friend of mine with the caveat of forwarding it to “ants” only as “grasshoppers never can understand it.”, he wrote.  I found that to be true throughout the day yesterday, therefore I will try to explain this for all my grasshopper friends or those who sympathize with grasshoppers. If you haven't read my previous  post then you should read that first.

 The first example written in the form of a Biblical parable compares those who work with those who don’t or rather won’t.. Enough said!

The second example, of course, brings the unending saga into modern times and includes those who play the victimization card as well as those who encourage such behavior for the sole purpose of advancing their own agendas. Most Conservatives I know get this illustration  immediately understanding it is an entertaining over simplification, perhaps that would probably not stand up in a more sophisticated discussion of Kenesian Economics and the growth of the government sector(more grasshoppers) vs Free Market Economics and the growth of the Private sector(more ants).

Furthermore, the exploitation of problems by liberal special interest groups is always about their access to power and never about the problem itself. Their involvement in most cases further exacerbates the problem and in the end predictably destroys the very people they were trying to help by enslaving them to an entitlement and victimization mentality that only strips them of their dignity and work ethic. This behavior can lead to the destruction of a family, community, and even a country, which has occurred over and over throughout history.

 Yet the liberal establishment in this country continues to insist on implementing big government solutions to problems like Nationalized Health Care which presently threatens to change this country like nothing that has ever happened before. Our whole life will be controlled by the leverage the government has over us and the ability of bureaucrats to withhold our access to life saving medical procedures, unless we adhere to the demand of unelected bureaucrats regarding the products we purchase, places we live and families we raise. Don’t believe me? Allow Obama to win a second term if you dare to cast your vote for him..

So get those pacemakers and expensive surgeries done now while you can before Obama and his Czars bring this country closer to its day of destruction even though the liberal constituency they represent is actually a very small segment of the entire population. It  just seems larger because of the inclusion of the very powerful liberal mainstream media, which most liberals I know won’t even acknowledge the very existence of and get all worked up when a single cable news network emerges that attempts to report the truth, or a larger than life voice appears behind enemy lines on AM talk radio encouraging the "ant" population to persevere because the truth is on their side. The alternative that is being advanced down our throats, big government socialism simply won’t work, because it hasn’t worked anywhere it has been tried. Hence I give  you…..(drum roll please) North Korea, where millions have starved to death and the government had to photoshop an official photo of the funeral procession yesterday of Kim Jung Il simply to present the precise and sanitized image they wanted the world to see of their country which is other wise a totally dysfunctional mess. It was also noted by journalists who attended the State Funeral that no tears were seen despite some very loud wailing from organized groups of “mourners”, who were watched very carefully by their handlers..
