Jackass!
If any animal better portrays the Democrat party, I’m sure I don’t know what it is. The stubborn jackass is willful and stupid. Barney Frank is a fine example of this type of animal. He’s stupid, certainly, and he has the will to resist his employers. Now, Barney’s not my senator, but I’m sure I wouldn’t vote for anyone who is such a jackass. But, I digress, the jackass obviously is the perfect symbol to tell our little story here.
On the other hand you have the elephant. He is master of everything around him. He relishes the thought of stepping on a jackass, but after all, the jackass is carrying all that stuff. So, the elephant leaves him alone until the jackass decides he wants to stop and eat and drink and look for other jackasses to screw around with. The elephant then kicks the jackass in the ass and the jackass cries like a little baby. (This previous paragraph is in no way condoning the kicking of jackasses or any other politician).
The Mighty Elephant
Finally, the elephant ends up carrying everything while the jackass sits in the corner eating straw and whining about his free food. When there is a fight the elephant moves to the front and destroys all enemies. He takes his large feet and steps on the heads of anyone who would invade his territory. He takes what he needs, he provides shelter for anyone who needs it (jackass included) and he works all day long to do so.
Meanwhile, there are sheep and lemmings and sleepy little puppies who just want to nap or be taken care of. These groups of animals provide some food for the elephant’s family and some companionship. In the end, they don’t provide much value, but if you’re hungry enough you can eat them.
The moral of our story is if you want to work with a jackass and have a choice not to, decline. You will end up providing shelter, food, counseling and the sustinence of all your work. The jackass won’t defend your territory and he’ll follow anyone who gives him somewhere to cry himself to sleep at night. Don’t be a jackass.
