Which Key to Choose? pb

“THE DEAREST FREEDOM OF ALL”

by OPOVV, ©2015

(Apr. 29, 2015) — “The Lady or the Tiger?” One or the other. And no fair taking a dive and saying, “Foot hurts. Sorry. Let me get back to you.” So, which key? Which one key unlocks all the possibilities for salvation? No fair choosing a combination of keys because the lock will take only one key at a time.

Betting is permitted, by the way. Not money: your life. No cheating allowed, of course, but the way the contest is set up, you can’t cheat anyway even if you were inclined to entertain such a deviation of morals in the first place.

There are restrictions, you know. You knew it had to be. It would be completely unrealistic to think that everyone reading this editorial had a brain, or at least half a brain, and understood Obama’s Constitutional ineligibility issues, was not a Communist and didn’t support Socialistic platforms such as Obamacare.   Not everyone can reason that Islam is, if anything, bad news for all, especially women, children, animals, all Christians and Jews and everyone else who has the intellectual ability to accept science and the wonders of what the Hubble telescope has given us all.

And not “Ho-hum.”  I’ve neither the time nor the intrinsic ability to be asking complete strangers personal questions, so what say we get Roving Reporter over here to do it for us. Take it away…

“Roving Reporter here about to waylay a complete stranger, and here comes one now. A young lady, perhaps in college.

“Excuse me, Miss, Roving Reporter to ask you a quick question. You mind?”

“How do I know you’re the real RR? But, okay, I’ll try and answer your question.”

“Well, see this-here nametag hanging around my neck? And the camera lady over there? Wave. And the guy holding the sound boom over us? And the ‘RR’ van parked yonder? Will that work for you?”

“If this is a kidnapping, then you’ve sure all gone to a lot of trouble. There are easier ways, as I’m sure you know.”

“Lady, there’s no kidnapping involved here. All I want to do is ask you one simple question.”

“Well, why don’t you do it, then, rather than talk it to death. You sure you’re not going to kidnap me?”

“Lady.”

“Okay, okay. Just asking, that’s all. What’s the question?”

“The question is this: of all of your Freedoms, which one is the most dear to you? Which one do you cherish the most?”

“My mama told me about men like you. You want to know if I’ve a gun in my purse, don’t you? And if I do, is it pointing at you right now, just wouldn’t you like to know?”

“Lady.”

“Okay, okay. I like the Second Amendment the best, of all of our Freedoms, because without our guns the other amendments will just fall by the wayside.”

“Very well put, thank you. Yes, may you continue on in your journey of life. Bye.”

“Well, I never! Anyone ever tell you that you’re rude?”

“I must say, though, you’re not the norm: an Obot that likes guns.”

“Well, I may be stupid, but I ain’t dumb.”

“I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t hear it myself in person. Miss, you just made the highlight of the year. Thanks. Here comes a young man. Excuse me, I’d like to ask you a question.”

“Shoot.”

“What, in your opinion, is the dearest freedom of all?”

“That’s easy: the First Amendment, the freedom of speech, which is why our Founding Fathers made it number one of all the freedoms. Besides encompassing talking you also have the written word and posters, cartoons, and political paintings such as Francisco de Goya’s ‘The Third of May?’”

“Hold on, young man. What do you do for a living? Are you a history professor or what?”

“No, I just finished school and live in my parents’ basement because there’s no work. No work equals no money and no money equals no going out to bars to meet women, so I spend all my time at the library on the slim chance of meeting a girl that’s not looking for a Bill Gates.”

“So you just read all day?”

“All day, except Sundays, of course, but I got a library card so I’m covered.”

“Well, thank you very much. Well, folks, you heard it all from Roving Reporter.

“From my own perspective I choose our First Amendment as the most important because that’s the only way that we’ll ever have a chance to hear the Truth. A good example is the ever-expanding Islam destroying everything in its path.

“Also, the Feds want to give body cameras to every policeman in the country, no doubt to control them under the ever-expanding Federal Army that’s under the direct control through the White House via the DOJ.

“Imagine all works of art, sculptures (Muslims destroying the statues of the Buddhas of Bamiyan), paintings, and books destroyed, smashed and burnt. Gone forever because they even destroy photographs of people, works of art and so on with no end in sight.

“But words won’t stop Islam: what we need are words and weapons, and I suppose that’s what Freedom is all about. We have that, but it’s on the line.

“The way the United Nations is going and the way the United States is following, any truth written about Islam in the near future will be Achtung! Verboten!

“If you don’t use it, you lose it. Continue to support the First and Second Amendments. Speak your piece while holding your piece.

“Thank you for watching. Goodnight.”
