Special Olympics: Apology not accepted
This is sadly, ironic. These progressives are showing their true colors.
Rahm Emanuel, and his boss, have both called people retards. What is sad, is the fact that they will apologize, and the very people they have disdain for, will vote for them again.
History is unchangeable, one only has to look at other progressive regimes this past century. Let us look hard at the esteem they gave those they considered less desirable. Those so-called less desirables, included people we now classify as challenged or special needs or some other politically correct term.
And my heart aches, because these people and those who advocate for them have fallen, hook, line and sinker, for the lies from the Democratic party and the scraps thrown to them. Government largess to those who are not able to provide for themselves is being curtailed rapidly. Those charities are having to scramble and cut back on services, yet like lemmings will pull the lever for the person with a D next to their name.
When folks have tribute extracted form their paychecks to be given to those charities on the government dole they feel no need to give another dime. Why? The charity has already taken what they need through the strong arm of the government!

The Ant and The Grasshopper
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 summeraway.
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 pl ays 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.
MSNBC, 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.’
Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house where the news stations film the group singing, ‘We shall overcome.’ Jesse then has the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper’s sake.
Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry 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.
The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ants 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 neighborhood.
MORAL OF THE STORY: Be careful how you vote in 2010.
