The Elephant and the Ass

DON’T ARGUE WITH DONKEYS

The donkey told the elephant, ′′The grass is blue."

The elephant replied, “No, the grass is green."

The discussion warmed up, and the two decided to submit the disagreement to arbitration, and to do so they took the matter to the Lion, King of the Jungle for resolution.

Before reaching the clearing of the forest, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey started screaming, “Your Highness, is it true that grass is blue?"

The lion replied, “Yes, it is true, the grass is blue.”

The donkey rushed forward and continued, “The elephant disagrees with me and contradicts me and annoys me, please punish him!”

The king then declared, “The elephant will be punished with 4 years of silence.”

The donkey jumped joyfully and went on his way, content and repeating, “I was right! I won! The grass is blue. Fuck you, elephant!!!”

The elephant accepted his punishment, but before leaving, he asked the Lion, “Your Majesty, why have you punished me? After all, everyone knows that the grass truly is green.”

The Lion replied. “You are correct, the grass is green.”

The elephant asked, “So why did you punish me?”

The Lion replied, “Your punishment has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. Your punishment is because it is not possible for a strong, brave, intelligent, and majestic creature like yourself to waste his time arguing with a dumb and stubborn ass.”

The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of their beliefs and agenda. There are many people for whom irrefutable evidence can be presented to them, yet they possess not the ability to understand or even consider an alternate viewpoint or set of facts contradictory to their own. Others are blinded by their own egos, hatred, and resentment, and have become hollow ideologues. The only thing that they desire is to be perceived as right. Even when they’re not.

When ignorance screams, intelligence walks away.

Wow. Against my better judgment, I actually decided to read what what OP posted. How fucking delusional.

The Republican Party, as we once knew it, is dead. Almost all of the political lies originate from Republicans, not Democrats.



The blatant gaslighting here is repulsive.

Wait until after the 2022 midterms and then tell me that Republican party is dead.

The Dems are on a kamikaze mission but no one told Joe he is going to crash the plane.

Socialism, defunding the police, critical race theory, open borders, rampant crime....are all losing policy positions. All the poll numbers state the majority of Americans don't want any of these things. So by running on them, what do you think will be the outcome?

Numerous Democratic candidates are NOT showing their party affiliation in their political ads....why, they don't want to be associated with the Titanic.

So one is elitist when they speak the truth.

I'm neither. I'm independent. I've said this many times on here. I've only been afflicted with one party, and that's the GOP. I've never designated myself as a Democrat.


Sorry, but most of you sound pathetically stupid or delusional (or both). If you had any intellectual integrity at all, you'll admit that you are full of shit and you're just fucking around on here to waste time.

OP apparently thinks donkey is democrats (left or progressive whatever you call them) and elephant is republicans.

However this whole story (I have no idea which fable he quoted from or whether or not he simply made it up) works against OP;

Donkey represents; "disinformation", "cult", "lack of common sense", all that apply to the current status of Republican party, which is combined with their cult version of belief system "Qanon"

Elephant represents; "common sense", "truth", "intelligence based on science and reasons", which mostly apply to current Democrats

Lastly I would say Lion represents perhaps Supreme court, which upheld Arizona voting restrictions.

Sorry, that isn’t an elitist comment when it is a true statement. You can’t say any random bullshit and expect people to take you seriously.


Again, at this point you and most of the conservatives on here are beyond convincing, beyond discussion, beyond reasoning with…you’re all in your own crazy world.

"So you’ve said. Many times before. And yet, here you are. Why is that?"

Simply because it is good citizens' duty to stop someone like yours from lying to the public.

It is as simple as that

Confirmation bias is a powerful and self reinforcing flaw in our natural ability to objectively evaluate new information and adapt our perspective and position. Ipso facto we are 'ucked.

Elephant and donkey?
MA is one of the biggest pompous ASSES on the site

You're a flat out liar, MA.
You're an independent like Doofy can do math
Only the Reps tell lies?
Both sides lie thru their teeth when it suits them
The fact that you neither recognize nor can bring yourself to admit it is prima facie evidence that your assholiness is full of mierde to boot

Elephants have been the symbol of the Republican party and the Donkey has been the symbol of the Democratic party... who the writer is referring to is directly indicated in the story..

Let's be honest, you both sound like whiney little bitches.


I just had a girl over who left after 5 hours. Why don't you two get laid and straighten out your heads. You sound pathetic.

To quote
What we have here is a failure to communicate.
The elephants suck dick and the mules lick ass.
With either party running the USA it is in a heap of trouble.
When the citizens get off their collective asses and say Fuck you to those in charge perhaps then we will amount to something?

In the mean time the blue and red will just keep stealing whatever they can get away with.
Our money is not theirs. They piss our money away like drunken sailors.

For those who like to compare both parties and lament that "they are both equally bad," maybe you should consider some more facts.



When all is said and done, Trump is going to make Nixon look like a jaywalker...

Another example of what is not mildly amusing.

Mildly amusing is reading a story from Skippy about an aunt cooking pancakes.

No Skippy don't do that or you know what will happen?
