“THEIR JUST DESERTS”

(May 23, 2016) — “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another informative and entertaining series of reporting on ‘Pulse of the Nation.’ As you can see, we’re back at our favorite church down here on Hawthorn Street, but before we go inside I’d like to remind our viewers that two of the hijackers on 9-11 were members of Al-Qaeda.
“One may surmise that we learned that those two Muslim murderers were members of a known terrorist organization after they flew those planes into those buildings, but we’d be wrong. One of the first questions asked that day was ‘How did those two get on a plane?’ They also could’ve asked, ‘What were they doing in our country?’ but didn’t.
“Good question: how come the United States government was so inept as to allow two Al-Qaeda operatives running around loose among us? Why were they here in the first place? How many Muslim ‘students’ are our immigration services harboring? How many Muslims have overstayed their visas? And, last but not least, how come the very people who were supposed to protect us haven’t changed their stripes? How come we’re more vulnerable now than we were then?
“After the tent murders in Kuwait and after Fort Hood, how come we have any Muslims in our armed forces? After the last 1,400 years of being tortured and murdered by Muslims, why would the Jews, Christians and everyone else in the world allow any Muslim within a thousand miles of their wives, daughters, mothers and all female relatives, friends and possible acquaintances?
“The answer is, plain and simple, we wouldn’t and shouldn’t have. So how come we have Muslims within our borders? It’s because our government no longer represents us.
“I don’t care how many laws, directives and suggestions anyone puts forth, if government employees don’t want something to happen, it doesn’t happen. Maybe Trump can protect America, something Obama and Hillary have failed miserably at.
“Whew! Sorry I was long-winded. What do you say we get inside and hear today’s sermon?”
“And so our great choir will see us out the door by singing ‘When the Saints Go Marching In.’ Thank you for showing up; there’s dogs and burgers, soft drinks and chips out back. Sally Morrison brought a big bowl of her potato salad and Betsy Hoover her delicious dip. Remember to remember the donation box, on your right, as you leave. See you next Sunday.
‘Hello, Roving and crew, a little late, are we?”
“Sorry about that. Got carried away on the intro. That burger offer still stands?”
“Of course. Missed a good sermon: ‘Ye Shall Reap the Whirlwind.’”
“Nice title. What was it about?”
“People, by not paying attention, shall receive their just deserts. Enough of this shop talk: let’s eat.”
