“THE PERFECT RECIPE FOR CORRUPTION”
by OPOVV, ©2015
(Dec. 21, 2015) — “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. We’re standing in the Army-Navy store over near the armory and, as you can plainly see, the shelves are empty, or most nearly so. With us is the owner, Joe Altuna.
“Well, Joe, what gives? How can you make any money if you’ve nothing to sell?”
“Hey, Roving and crew, thanks for stopping by. Glad to be part of your award-winning show. Not making any money? You got to be kidding; why, just this morning this place was packed. Never seen anything like it, and we go all the way back to before the Carter days.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean we get delivery — two semi-truck trailers full — around 7 am; unload by 10, at which time we open our doors for business and close as soon as everything’s sold, which for the past 7 years, or ever since Obama came on the scene, is just before you showed up, at 2. Obama has been very, very good for me.”
“Just like that? For the past 7 years? What do you sell that everyone gobbles up?”
“Good question. It changes, like Obama’s first year it was guns and ammo; survival food kits. By the time Obama reelected himself – honest election? Give me a break – in 2012 it was sleeping bags and tents. Nowadays it’s black-powder guns; home reloading kits, especially shotgun ammo; compasses and more and more of anything to do with solar panels and generating your own electricity.
“Couple of weeks ago some of our customers suggested we offer more than simple first-aid kits, so the delivery we got today was 100% medical supplies and equipment. I even ordered a do-it-yourself operating room, designed like a sauna, you know: place anywhere; follow the simple assembly directions and in under four hours, job completed, but this one had a real operating table that can also fold to double as a dentist’s chair. Ten grand. Sold as soon as we opened he doors.”
“You must make a lot of money.”
“Not as much as we could if we were in a Obot gouging mind-set. Like the ‘Me Generation’: Occupiers and ‘Muslim Welcoming Committee’-type people. I’d say that 90% of my customers are Christian, and the rest are Jews and others. Besides my cost of breaking even, I add on 5% and that’s it. Cash only.”
“Even the ten grand?”
“Especially the ten grand. This is, after all, a gun store, so if anyone wants to rob us, we open at 10. I’m a Vietnam Veteran and miss the action, so if any of you nitwits out there in TV Land want to try and rob us, here’s an open invitation.”
“We’ll just have to edit that part out, about the ten grand and you serving in Southeast Asia. Look, can you tell me what you’re going to be offering for sale tomorrow?”
“Be glad to, Roving. Seems like more and more people are asking for infrared scopes and mechanical building tools; hand saws, augers, axes and shovels. Also Short Wave sets are a very poplar item, but old school, with tubes – the English call them ‘valves’ – and a lot of ‘How-to’ books. I mean, there’s always been a market for that kind of pioneering stuff but not like this demand, all thanks to the de facto in the White House.”
“So, Joe, what to you attribute to this crazed buying spree?”
“I wouldn’t refer to these buyers of survival gear ‘crazed’, not by any stretch of the imagination. Actually, truth be told, my customers are a cut above your normal person, no matter what race or religion they may be, except Muslims, of course. If we think a customer may be one of them we kick them out. As the sign says on that wall over there, we have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. And being Muslim, or even if we think they may be one of them, we kick them out.
“Our biggest customers are Veterans, because they know when things go downhill they tend to go downhill fast, really fast, so it’s better to be prepared up-front, which means to be well-armed to protect life and property.”
“You sound like an Alarmist, Joe.”
“To each his own, Roving. It’s prudent to be prepared, and there’s no amount of debate that can refute that statement.”
“So are you saying it’s a Muslim problem that the government is, what, putting us all in danger on purpose, is that it?”
“You got to be blind not to see it, or else one dumb, oops, almost forgot about that camera over there. It’s bad enough having to be armed in your own country, but due to the ‘Revolving Door’ system of so-called ‘justice – what a joke – in this country, plus add to that all the millions of illegal immigrants running around, everyone better be armed or don’t blame anybody else if you or your family get preyed upon. Remember, the police are a reactionary force: they don’t do preventing, like deporting each and every illegal immigrant, even the children; you with me?
“Now adding to our cauldron of lawbreakers, this Administration has been importing Muslims who have no wish whatsoever to do with our way of life; our Constitution; and our Judeo-Christian values, of which I’m going to specifically mention the way they treat women: as garbage. To start, Muslims endorse FGM; “honor killings”; beatings: in other words, they treat women as mere objects, to be abused and sold as slaves.
“Some say that there are as few as three million of the enemy (Muslims) among us — here in our country — while others have given the estimate at 13 million. Members of the Muslim Brotherhood are in our country and, for some reason, haven’t been arrested, lined-up against a wall, and executed. Heck, look at the sorry joke in the White House: he’s as bad as any of them, and that’s why we can’t trust our government.
“I served in Vietnam and I always said that our greatest enemy was Washington, DC. Take the Pentagon and the White House and you got the perfect recipe for corruption, just as we have today. If you don’t believe me, just look at the DOJ since Obama came on the scene. Does that answer your question about why people are arming themselves; why people see the end of our country as just a matter of time?
“No, Joe, I suppose you’re correct, that there’s no downside in being prepared. Look, it’s been fun and enlightening but I see our time’s up. This is Roving and crew from the Army-Navy store along with the owner, Joe Altuna, saying goodnight: Goodnight.”
“Great show, Joe.”
“Hold it. I know what you’re going to say but my employees and me beat you to the punch. Out back the coals are white-hot and we’ve all the makings for a delicious burger and it’s our treat. It’s the least we can do for you. We all enjoy your show.”
“Sounds like a plan. Let’s eat. Joe’s treat.”
