Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey

Perfect metaphor!
To be fair I am convinced that an ACTUAL elephant would have long since moved on to do something much more productive with its time.
Proving once again that the average intelligence of a Republican pales in comparison to a number of other mammals on this planet.
At this point, I'm not sure the average intelligence of a GOP Congressman is much above 70. Isn't there an old saw about repeating the same action and expecting a different result the definition of insanity? Lock 'em up and throw away the keys.
A real live elephant wouldn't have run into a wall in the first place. They are extremely intelligent, sensitive and loving animals. That's why it's such a terrible insult to them to represent the GOPTP.
I'm quoting from a good friend here, but he says it better than I ever could:
"Why are we allowing the Congress to waste our time and money? They are on our payroll, but spend so much of their time on partisan politics and debating futile symbolic bills. During these last days before their summer recess (hey..I don’t get that much time off) they are spending their time on debating futile and unnecessary stuff. This week, for the 31st time, they vote to repeal “Obamacare” OK we get it Republicans. you don’t like the LAW. What, exactly don’t you like..the fact that it keeps people from going bankrupt when they get sick? That’s fine, but your never ending waste of the Congress’s time is getting irritating. If you were my employees you would probably not be working for me anymore for wasting the company dollar! Perhaps if you get the majority in the Senate and or the Oval office you can repeal but until then (and I hope that day never comes mind you) you know it is futile to constantly try to repeal this bill. Your own membership said so yesterday. SO WHY WASTE OUR TIME..WORK ON RESOLVING THE COUNTRY’S PROBLEMS! Then, while I am on this rant, last week you vote to repeal the 40 hour work week..a protection dating back to 1938. WHAT? Are you crazy? Why don’t we just put everybody back in the mills 6 days a week for 12 hours a day. Yea..you would like that so you can continue to pad your bankroll on the backs of American workers. Shame! Again, you know the Senate will not pass such nonsense and the President will thankfully veto this slap against the workers and their families. Ok..I’m done..had to get that off my chest."
And Lo, did Republican Jesus come down among the masses and holding his tablet PC did he give unto his disciples the NEW (and improved) Ten Commandments: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Socialism, out of the house of Communism.”
1. You shall have no other gods before me, especially that terrorist monkey god, Mohammed.[i]
2. You shall not make for yourself any carved image; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them except for the Holy Benjamins. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting poverty of the fathers on the children of those (as in those people) who hate me, but showering material riches unto thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. Also, you shall have guns. All you want.
3. You shall not take the name of your God, Ronald Reagan, in vain, for the Lord will hold him guiltless of treason and malfeasance.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. If you are a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, six days you shall labor and do all your work, that should just about do it for the year[ii], but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor the stranger who is within your country illegally unless they are off the books then they shall work all seven days without respite. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, including dinosaur bones and rested the seventh day.
5. Honor your father and your mother by ensuring that they keep their Social Security even as you shall taketh it away from all others.
6. You shall not murder unless they are Muslim. Or gay. Or abortion doctors. Or government workers. Or black. Or whatever group is currently out of favor with mine chosen White (not white, White) People.
7. You shall not commit adultery and get caught during an election year.
8. You shall not steal unless it’s from the worker’s pensions.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. Just kidding, Fox News. Go forth and bear away.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s. Instead, you shall go forth and buy these things for yourself on credit and keep the “too big to fail” banks happy.
And thus did Republican Jesus™ lead his Chosen White people to that paradise on earth known as Somalia where they did not have to render unto Caesar anything and freedom showered from the heavens like Manna.
