TALES FROM THE BARNYARD

Once upon a time, on a farm in Virginia,
there was a little red hen who scratched
about the barnyard until she uncovered
quite a few grains of wheat.

She 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 shares. 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. (Ted Kennedy)
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.
But 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 that 'the rich' were paying for.

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?
