Screaming Wolf when there is None

"There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Wolf! Wolf! The Wolf is chasing the sheep!"

The villagers came running up the hill to help the boy drive the wolf away. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, they found no wolf. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.

"Don't cry 'wolf', shepherd boy," said the villagers, "when there's no wolf!" They went grumbling back down the hill.

Later, the boy sang out again, "Wolf! Wolf! The wolf is chasing the sheep!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to help him drive the wolf away.

When the villagers saw no wolf they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really something wrong! Don't cry 'wolf' when there is NO wolf!"

But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.

Later, he saw a REAL wolf prowling about his flock. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Wolf! Wolf!"

But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come.

At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't returned to the village with their sheep. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.

"There really was a wolf here! The flock has scattered! I cried out, "Wolf!" Why didn't you come?"

An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village.

"We'll help you look for the lost sheep in the morning," he said, putting his arm around the youth, "Nobody believes a liar...even when he is telling the truth!"

The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf, is a fable by Aesop

The protagonist of the fable is a bored shepherd boy who entertained himself by calling out "wolf". Nearby villagers who came to his rescue would find the alarm a false one. When the boy was actually confronted by a wolf, the villagers did not believe his warnings and his flock perished. The moral is stated at the end of the fable as:

Even when liars tell the truth, they are never believed.

Today in an effort of political cowardness Al Sharpton and the so called "civil rights movement" are crying wolf. The wolf is "racism", like the beloved children book

This story sums up most of the civil rights groups today. The scary thing is that there are respectable, noble ways to fight racism. Now if there were a real case of racism people would be highly skeptical. Such real life cases get clouded because no one belives these groups any more!

Talk-show host, author and former Education Secretary, Bill Bennett, is under fire for comments he made in response to a caller to his program “Morning in America”. On Thursday, a caller said that if babies weren’t aborted there would be more taxpayers and, therefore, Social Security insolvency could be corrected.

Dr. Bennett followed the caller’s statement with another hypothetical when he said: "If you wanted to reduce crime, you could, if that were your sole purpose, you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down. That would be an impossible, ridiculous and morally reprehensible thing to do."

Most news reports have included only the first sentence of Bennett’s comments and have failed to include his “morally reprehensible” statement. Leaders of the Democrat Party including Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. John Conyers are demanding and apology from Bennett.

Conyers is demanding that conservative Bennett be taken off the air and stripped of his daily Radio program.
