The Pit of Misery: Politics and Religion

Republicans and Democrats explained?

A woman in a hot air balloon realizes she is lost. She lowers her altitude and spots a man fishing from a boat below. She shouts to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

The man consults his portable GPS and replies, "You're in a hot air balloon, approximately 30 feet above a ground elevation of 2,346 feet above sea level. You are at 31 degrees, 14.97 minutes north latitude and 100 degrees, 49.09 minutes west longitude.

She rolls her eyes and says, "You must be a Republican!"

"I am," replies the man. "How did you know?"

"Well," answers the balloonist, "everything you tell me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you're not much help to me."

The man smiles and responds, "You must be a Democrat."

"I am, replies the balloonist. "How did you know?"

"Well," says the man, "You don't know where you are or where you're going. You've risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise that you have no idea how to keep, and now you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but, somehow, now it's my fault."

Life is so much better being a Democrat. Always someone else's fault if things go wrong.

New Ariz. law prevents HOAs from banning thin blue line flags
The law protects flags that support first responders, regardless of HOA regulations

PHOENIX — A new Arizona law will allow homeowners to fly flags that support police and other first responders – even if their HOA has rules against flying such flags, 12 News reported. Gov. Doug Ducey signed HB2010 into law on Monday.
State Rep. John Kavanagh says he was inspired to write the bill after a homeowner told him their HOA wouldn’t let them fly a flag supporting first responders.
“A lot of people want to express their appreciation to these first responders by flying the flag, but a small number of HOA’s prohibit it,” Kavanagh told 12 News. “This bill states they can’t do that. People have a First Amendment right to honor our heroes.”
The law bans HOA regulations on flags that honor the country, military, first responders and law enforcement, according to the report. The Arizona law comes as some HOA members in other states say they’ve been told to remove thin blue line flags, including the father of a slain officer in Ohio.

HOA commies in Zona ain't gonna like this news.
 
The donkey told the tiger, "The grass is blue."
The tiger replied, "No, the grass is green ."
The discussion became heated, and the two decided to submit the issue to arbitration, so they approached the lion.
As they approached the lion on his throne, the donkey started screaming: ′′Your Highness, isn't it true that the grass is blue?"
The lion replied: "If you believe it is true, the grass is blue."
The donkey rushed forward and continued: ′′The tiger disagrees with me, contradicts me and annoys me. Please punish him."
The king then declared: ′′The tiger will be punished with 3 days of silence."
The donkey jumped with joy and went on his way, content and repeating ′′The grass is blue, the grass is blue..."
The tiger asked the lion, "Your Majesty, why have you punished me, after all, the grass is green?"
The lion replied, ′′You've known and seen the grass is green."
The tiger asked, ′′So why do you punish me?"
The lion replied, "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green. The punishment is because it is degrading for a brave, intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with an ass, and on top of that, you came and bothered me with that question just to validate something you already knew was true!"
The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on discussions that make no sense. There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand. Others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and the only thing that they want is to be right even if they're wrong.
