“THIS IS THEIR COUNTRY, TOO”

(Jul. 10, 2017) — “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ‘Pulse of the Nation,’ the news show that entertains as well as informs. As you can see, we’re back at our home-away-from-home, in Professor’s Zorkophsky’s office at the university to learn more about the controversial comments the professor made the other day on a national network Sunday-morning news show.
“Well, now, please call me ‘Zork.’ What the heck did you say that stirred up the hornet’s nest?”
“It wasn’t as much as what I said as to what I wrote, at least that’s what I thought. You see, I was invited to talk about my new best-seller, ‘The Madness Among Us: How to Spot Someone Who is Over the Edge and Should be in a Padded Cell.’ The interview started off innocuous enough but they nailed me on one little sentence in Chapter 7; that’s the Chapter titled: ‘Fear for Your Well-Being.’”
“I bet, but what was it that you wrote? Could you read the sentence for us?”
“Be more than glad to, since my publisher says the more we talk about the book the more books we sell. I wrote: ‘We find ourselves on an island of common sense surrounded by crazed sharks willing to suspend logic and reasonable calm debate where only facts that can be verified are allowed to be expressed.’ Now I ask you, is that so bad?”
“No; sounds reasonable enough. So they became, what did you say off-camera, ‘completely unglued to the point of berserkness’? Do I have that right? Is ‘berserkness’ an acceptable psychiatric term?”
“But of course it is; even Sigmund might’ve used it. Look, these people, these Trump-Deniers, are none other than the failed remnants of a discarded belief system of government that has been debunked since the days of Babylon.”
“You’re kidding; how do you know this?”
“Because most of the college professors are out-to-lunch, politically-wise; ergo, one could say with a high degree of certainty that archeologists are likewise Left-Wing Loonies. So when they uncover documented proof that what they are unearthing are the remains of a failed Socialist civilization, they keep mum about it. They speculate on ‘trade’ and ‘barter,’ never mentioning that they unearthed yet another example of a ‘Socialistic Crash and Burn Site,’ which is why they mention ‘burn-layers’ in their sanitized reports.”
“Did you say ‘sanitized?’ What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It assures them of getting funded for the next year’s dig, is what. Think about it: if their reports read that they discovered yet another example of Socialism failing, well, you see my point.”
“Indeed, we do; is that it?”
“No, it is not, as you say, ‘it.’ People who make a living being against Trump are those who got left behind at the railway station. In other words, they missed the train; their boat came in but they weren’t there to collect; they had the winning lottery ticket but they were so blind against Capitalism that they failed to realize that maybe they could’ve built an orphanage or a wildlife sanctuary with the money they so cavalierly tore up on live TV as they patted themselves on the back.”
“Good point.”
“The list is endless of what good people can do with money. Of course, the reverse is also true: bad people can do bad things with money, but that’s not the worst. The worst is when bad people masquerade as good people, such as the TV show ‘Morning Joe, a sad collection of never-beens if there ever was one. They are the ones who follow in Jane Fonda’s footsteps, a classic case of being used by the enemy if there ever was one.”
“Time is limited: make your point.”
“The North Vietnamese Communists controlled the anti0war movement in the United States during the 1960s; they even had Jane Fonda smiling as she pretended to shoot down our flyboys as the photographers went bananas. Now we jump to the Year of Our Lord 2017: controllers out of Tehran, Iran, feed our not-too-smart and gullible left-behinds the exact same propaganda, virtually word-for-word, with the same negative (for America) results. Easy for us to add 2 + 2, but, sadly, it’s not the case for a lot of Americans who drank the Kool-aid and continue to sip it every morning while they rant, rave and foam at the mouth while badmouthing our president, our military, our cops, our Constitution and our country.”
“Is that all?”
“Except I’m mighty sick of the lies, the fake news, and the bad-mouthing my country. It’s funny, in a way: many of our fellow citizens are making a mad rush into madness, is what it is, clinically speaking, that is, if they ever wake up and actually accept the truth: this is their country, too: make the best of it instead of tearing it down with lies about Socialism being the panacea of the world’s problems.”
“Well, I guess that just about does it for us. Thank you, Zork, for making ‘Pulse’ the go-to news show when people want nothing but the truth. And now I’d like to say, on behalf of the crew, you all have a goodnight: Goodnight.
“Good show. Hey, Zork, how ‘bout joining us for burgers: my treat.”
“Don’t Think Twice; It’s Alright“
