“IT’S EXACTLY WHO I AM”

(Jul. 20, 2016) — “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ‘Pulse of the Nation,’ the most-watched show in our time slot. Hello, I’m Chief New Leaf filling in for Mr. Roving Reporter, who is still running around California and Nevada. As you can see, we’re under the awning across the street from the railroad station about to waylay this young lady.
“Excuse me.”
“How, Chief New Leaf. Usually I walk to the station on the other side of the street but I’ve got something to say, which is why I waited for you to get set up.”
“Okay: say it.”
“Thank you. For you Trump protesters out there: why do you want to shoot yourselves in the foot? What can you possibly gain by denying yourselves a better life for yourselves and children? The Teacher’s Union doesn’t teach Johnny how to read and yet you want more of the same; your electric bill is high and you want it higher; the military is operating under incompetent leaders who set the Rules of Engagement, so there’s no possible way for us to even win a food fight.
“They, the Democrat Party, offer you the Kool-Aid, and you drink it because you can’t see that the Party of JFK’s ‘content of character’ has morphed into being forced to wean off of the government. And here comes my train. Bye.”
“Goodbye, and thank you. Well, she spoke her mind. Good for her. And our next guest is a young man. Hello, what you up to today?”
“Just hanging out. May catch a museum or two. Like your show; what’s the question?”
“Of all that’s on television these days, what upsets you the most?”
“Well, I guess it would have to be people telling me what I am and what I am not. I mean, I hear Obama saying, ‘That’s not who we are; we’re better than that,’ but I’m thinking, ‘Wait! That’s not true: it’s who I am.’ He’s got it all wrong.
“And then I hear Hillary saying the same thing, ‘That’s not who we are; we’re better than that.’ Well, I don’t know about you, but an illegal immigrant is illegal – period — and I want that wall. And I don’t want any Muslims in my country, so when Trump said ‘No more Muslims’ I thought, ‘He thinks like me.’ And then Hilary says that’s not who I am, if you buy into the pronoun ‘we.’
“Well, I’m just not part of their – Hillary AND Obama’s — ‘we,’ okay? Man, I’m telling you, it’s EXACTLY who I am. That’s what tees me off. And targeting our police officers makes me sick. And who do we have to thank for all of this? I say it all goes straight back to Eric Holder not prosecuting the New Black Panthers, number 1, and, number 2, allowing the suspension of the Constitution in LTC Terry Lakin’s trail.
“It’s the ‘Hands up; don’t shoot’ mentality, which means a two-year-old’s unshakable belief in the Tooth Fairy. And that whistle we hear is my train. Bye.”
“Hey, thanks for talking with us. Good show and thanks for watching. This is the Chief, on behalf of the crew, wishing you all a good night: Goodnight.”
“Burger time. Today I’m having chips instead of fries. My treat.”
