COURAGE OR COWARDICE?

(Sep. 19, 2015) — ACT I
The curtain rises to the music of “Telstar” on the bridge of a very large spaceship. The helmsman is at the wheel, facing right, stage far right, and right next to it is a large throne with the ruler sitting upon it, wearing a deep-red robe with a very high collar, “Merciless Ming” mustache, facing toward stage left. There are two hanging lights, one above the ruler and one in the middle of the stage.
Two middle-aged women dressed as Oktoberfest Maids approach from stage left and stop center stage. Horns announce their arrival. The stage-back wall is lined with spaceship people wearing silver suits with silver dunce-caps.
Maid #1: “Greeting, your Most Wonderful and Knowledgeable Ruler of this Great Spaceship. We bring a report from planet earth. Forgive us for suggestion resolutions, but we can’t help ourselves.”
Maid #2: “That is true, Oh Great One. We have a solution to many of their problems. They have ‘Sanctuary Cities.’ Since illegal immigrants rape, torture and murder the citizens of those cities, let’s say we have them do their mayhem on those who support such oases from the law. Let’s start with the defense attorneys’ families, wives, daughters, mothers. Then let’s make it so the illegal immigrants just go after the families of the judges; then let’s target the politicians’ families.”
Great Ruler: “I like it. Got any more ideas?”
Maid #1: “They have home invasions. Opponents of the Second Amendment, what say we arrange it that only they are the targets of these invasions where very bad things happen.”
Great Ruler: “I’m very impressed with you two. Got any more?”
Maid #2: “Do we? Oh, yes, Great Captain of this Very Large Ship of the Stars, we do. What we like you to do, that is if it’s not too much trouble, is to take all the Muslim-loving Americans – you know the ones I’m talking about, the deniers of the truth – and have them somehow transported back in time to the Beslan, Russia school massacre to be eyewitnesses of what really transpired there. Have them witness everything; leave nothing out.”
Maid #1: “Same with a Planned Parenthood farming of body parts.”
Great Ruler: “Yes, I can do all of that, if you think it would do any good. Is that all?”
Maid #1: “No, Oh-so-Accurate-Navigator, that is not all. We would like it if you would make it possible for released child molesters to offer themselves up to the Muslims for practice-beheading subjects.”
Great Ruler: “Works for me. With all of this listening, talking and decision-making, I am tired and need some rest. Let’s gather back in a couple of hours.”
The curtain lowers. As soon as the curtain is lowered a procession of the silver-clad, dunce-cap-adorned spaceship people cross the stage, each holding a sign — such as one sees in a wrestling or boxing match — with the countdown of the time. First one says ‘15 minutes,’ the second one ‘30 minutes’ and so forth. At the ‘Time’s Up’ sign, the curtain rises for…
ACT II
As the curtain rises the music played is ‘Apache.’ The stage is set as in ACT I except the Oktoberfest Maids are dressed in spaceship uniforms without the hats.
Great Ruler: “I’ve done some studying-up on this USA place and come to a number of conclusions:
1. The quality of their leaders is directly equated with the quality of the people’s level of education.
2. The only reason why a government would want to expand is that its employees are milking the system. If they were honest they would realize that they’re only short-changing themselves.
3. This ‘Common Core’ nonsense is the final straw of a decaying Republic. Once it’s implemented, all you’re left with are dunces, so we might as well give them our dunce caps: they’ll need them.
4. The chance of the American people accepting truth over lies, fact over fiction is but a pipe-dream. Americans are, on the whole, too far behind to ever hope to catch up, with the exception of the right person at the right time.
5. I don’t know who that person is, but the time is now.
“I’m sending you two back to collect reports on this Trump contender. Will he have the gumption to do the right things to save the Republic or will he end up as yet another footnote in the history of the world’s hope for mankind?
“Does he comprehend the enemy or will he do what all the others have done before him: afraid to ‘offend,’ be ‘politically-correct’ at all costs, even if it means the destruction of his country?
“I’ll be surprised if he has what it’ll take, but let’s withhold our judgment until all the facts are in. We owe him that much. I’m rooting for him and I hope he has the brains and the desire. If his love of the Constitution is equal to his ego then he could very-well be the one to save America.
“There is a solution, maybe multiple solutions to, first, repair what the Obama Administration has wrought upon America and, secondly, repair what decades of the State Department trying to buy loyalty from foreign countries has done; address the artificially low tariffs; and end these generations of Welfare parasites who continuing to contribute nothing positive to the country.
“I’m ordering you two back to follow this 2016 presidential election closely for me. You have your orders. This session has ended.”
Lights out. Curtain lowers and then rises with the players lined-up singing “Oh, Happy Day.”
