Who will help me plant my wheat?" asked the little red
hen.
"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. She planted her crop, and
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. (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. 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 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 t hey couldn't remember
anything.

May 10, 2009H.R. 2296 — BATFE Reform Bill Introduced In U.S. House
As we reported last week, the companion bill to S. 941 — the “Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Reform and Firearms Modernization Act” that was introduced by Senators Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) on April 30-was introduced in the U.S. House this week.
Sponsored by Representatives Steve King (R-Iowa) and Zack Space (D-Ohio), H.R. 2296 is bipartisan reform legislation that represents the culmination of efforts to address BATFE abuses and problems highlighted in several congressional oversight hearings in 2006. (To read more about those hearings, please click here.) H.R. 2296 represents NRA-ILA’s latest efforts to pass legislation that will make it easier for gun owners and dealers to comply with federal law and regulations, while ensuring that criminals are punished accordingly.

Polling Data Shows That Most Americans Oppose New Gun Control: Anyone who follows the news closely can tell you that, despite what a majority of the media’s anti-gun talking heads say, most Americans do not support more gun control. Faced with the new anti-gun administration, the economy, terrorism, gang violence, etc., gun and ammunition sales are soaring. And recent polling data once again prove that Americans value the Second Amendment and don’t want more restrictions placed on their freedom.
H.R. 2324–Aiming At Registering Gun Owners And Putting Gun Shows Out Of Business: On May 6, at a press conference with Paul Helmke, president of the Brady Campaign, U.S. Representatives Michael Castle (R-Del.) and Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) introduced H.R. 2324–the “Gun Show Loophole Closing Act.” Masquerading as reform, H.R. 2324 would impose severe bureaucratic restrictions aimed at shutting down gun shows.
Joyce Foundation’s Investment In Violence Policy Center Yields Poor Return: The Joyce Foundation gives millions of dollars to the two or three radical anti-gunners that make up the Violence Policy Center, to put together white papers vilifying everything related to guns and gun owners. But after VPC’s latest effort, Joyce might want to reconsider whether it’s getting its money’s worth.
This week, VPC came out with one of its most trite and superficial bits of gibberish to date–an extraordinarily brief piece pointing out that Louisiana, Alabama, Alaska, Mississippi, and Nevada are the five states that have the highest firearm-related death rates, and among the highest rates of gun ownership and “weakest” gun laws.
No Surprises Here: As reported in the April 3 Grassroots Alert, Richard Aborn, former president of Handgun Control, Inc. (now Brady Center) is running for Manhattan District Attorney. A story in the May 5 issue of The New York Times, notes that Aborn recently unveiled a five-point plan for combating gun violence in the city. Not surprisingly, it is laden with gun control provisions.
Aborn’s plan calls for “regional interdiction approach to gun trafficking; more gun buyback programs and a program in which parents could give the police permission to search homes for guns; a requirement that pistols sold in New York include micro-stamping technology; a five-year renewal process for handgun permits; and support for a national gun-control strategy.”
