Fire your Congressman...

[scoutm]

Saw this on another site and thought it was pretty good.

 

 

"Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on

a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the

 

stairs and start to climb towards the banana.

 

As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all the other monkeys with cold

water. After a while another monkey makes the attempt with same result, all

the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon when another

monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it.

 

Now, put the cold water away. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace

 

it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the

stairs.

 

To his shock, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and

attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs he will be assaulted.

 

Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new

one.

 

The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer

takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm.

 

Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth,

then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs he is

attacked.

 

Most of the monkeys that are beating him up have no idea why they were not

permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating

of the newest monkey. After replacing all of the original monkeys, none of

the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless,

no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana.

 

Why not?

 

Because as far as they know, that is the way it has always been done around

here.

 

And that, my fellow monkeys, is how Congress operates...

 

We need to REPLACE all the monkeys this November."

I didn't see anything racist in the presentation until race was brought up. Term limits would be a good start. Just sayin.

Funny that you call me a racist yet race never entered my mind.

 

I don't care what you call our Legislative branch - clowns, idiots, monkeys, pigs, elephants or donkeys - it's full of followers who do things only because their party forces them to do it the way it has always been done without consideration for whats in the best interest of the country or the constituents that put them in office.

He is right.....you insulted the monkeys by calling them congressmen. You owe all primates an apology.

Great Illustration. Sorry...I don't get the racist part. Just like in your story, it wouldn't work unless you get rid of "ALL" of the monkeys. And where would you go about looking for decent monkeys that actually believed the US constitution is a valid and vital document????? The good monkey's don't have the $ and power that it takes to run for office in this great land of ours.

But wouldn't it be fun to spray cold water on them and watch them beat the crap out of each other?

Racist. . . not so much. People who are overly sensitive to political correctness annoy me.

Now this is real racist...I just cant get what you mean by that. Can you explane? Maybe cuz monkey like creatures eat bannanas? I just dont know Jason...

[ghost hunter]

I wondered about that for just a second and then thought I understood- It was an example of the answer a leftie would give.

 

If they don't understand the question or want to skirt the issue, they call you a racist and now your the one on the defense.

Wow that one went way over my my head maybe because im small minded

[AzHuntingAddict]

Ahh the classic racism card. Easy out of any type of conversation. If it makes the guy happy, change the monkeys to sheeple. I saw no amount of racism in the original post, but hey, I disagree with that guys comment, so according to the way society is acting latley, Im a racist. The bums need to go from Washington, oops, sorry to offend the ones who ask for my change at intersections.

That was a great story! I copied and sent it out to my friends too! As for racism? I didnt see anything being race related about it. Thanks for posting it!
