“A FIGHTING CHANCE”
by OPOVV, ©2017
(Jan. 31, 2017) — “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ‘Pulse of the Nation,’ the show that informs as well as entertains. As you can see, in the background, over my left shoulder, we have the talking dog. Unfortunately the dog refuses to be on the show unless she gets union wages, believe it or not. But life goes on, and so must we, so what do you say we get this show on the road?
“Hello, I’m Mr. Roving Reporter who will be your host for this episode. Glad you tuned in. What we do is interview people on their way to the train station, which is just across the street. Excuse me, sir, Roving for ‘Pulse.’ Got time to answer a question?”
“What do I get for it?”
“How about the satisfaction to be on television?”
“Well, okay, but don’t I need makeup? Nixon refused makeup and look what happened to him.”
“No, no. Don’t worry about it. What do you think of our new president?”
“Since I voted for him I like him, but I just wish he had the, ah, er, bravery to just come out and say no more Muslims and to kick the ones that are here out. Look, I know he’s only been in office a week but, what’s he waiting for, the right time?”
“The right time for what?”
“What, you my wife? Pay attention: the right time to just come out and say it: the world is at war with Islam. We’re not at war with a religion, but we are at war with people who believe that it’s a good idea to murder Jews and Christians; am I right?”
“Oh, you’re right; no doubt about it. I can’t answer that one for you. Sorry.”
“Well, it would make it a lot easier for everyone, now, wouldn’t it? You think for one New York minute these so-called Muslim refugees and immigrants are here for our Constitution? I think not. They’ll still commit premeditated murder – murder one – on their daughters for accepting Western Ways: wearing mini-skirts and talking to boys. They call it ‘honor killing,’ but it’s still murder under any other name.”
“And you think Trump can put a stop to it?”
“Look, we can’t rule the world, nor would we want to, but we can take care of ourselves. We’re not, though, are we? We have brain-dead people like Schumer in Congress who could give a hoot about Israel. I’m an American and I care about Israel. Israel built a wall to keep the Muslims out, and we should do the same.
“Let me ask you this: how many 9-11s, San Bernardinos, Fort Hoods and all the rest; the molestations, the rapes, the murders, the beheadings, will it take? How many? If we hadn’t let them in, we wouldn’t have to kick them out. Heck, if Trump doesn’t protect us we might’ve all voted for Hillary.
“I see that talking dog over your shoulder; why don’t you ask him what he thinks?”
“It’s a her.”
“What?”
“The dog. It’s a girl dog.”
“Why don’t you ask her? Muslims kill dogs for the heck of it, you know. Just kill them for some sort of sick cruel sport. They’re so far removed from our values that there’s no possible connection. They think nothing of blowing themselves up, or didn’t you know that? If you ever want the truth of what Trump is importing into our country, read about what those Muslims did to those school children at the schoolhouse in Beslan, Russia. Wait: don’t read about it; it’ll just make you sick. Take my word for it instead: we don’t want anything to do with a death cult, because that’s all Islam is: old men molesting young girls and then killing them, and all other living things, to satisfy some primeval psychotic sexual urge, akin to a cult of social pathetic serial killers. You want that? What’s wrong with Trump? Why can’t he just tell the truth?”
“Let’s give him a little more time.”
“More time? And all the while more and more Muslim refugees are…let me ask you this: what’s the difference between Muslims arriving by plane or Muslims marching over our borders?”
“I guess there isn’t any, is there? They don’t wear uniforms or anything; they just stab with a knife or plant bombs; drive cars and trucks into us unbelievers; or just spray with guns, as one did in Orlando. My train! Bye!”
“Okay, he has a right to his opinion. Next. Oh, hello; you’ve been on before, haven’t you?”
“Yes I have, and before you say anything else, I want to say, I know Trump just got into office but we don’t want Muslims in our country. What, our Muslims are somehow different than the German Muslims or the French Muslims? Our women can get raped and murdered just like European women, can’t they? We’re just as vulnerable as Swedish women, aren’t we? Why should we go around armed? Can’t Trump protect us?
“Look, the English voted to get out of the European Union because they want to control their borders, which means they don’t want Muslims in any more than we do. Islam isn’t a religion, for God’s sake: it’s a death cult, just as that man said it is. Enough is enough; I mean, seriously, now, what’s it going to take? Let’s get with the program, people.
“In 2012 there was a presidential candidate who said he’d deport each and every Muslim from our country and I believed him. Heck, I even wrote in his name. Why can’t Trump do the exact same thing? The candidate I’m referring to is a Vietnam Vet, and he said he’d do the job of president for $1.00 a year and to keep the perks and the legacy. If he wasn’t afraid to speak the truth, why can’t Trump? And there’s my train. Bye. Ask that talking dog!”
“And there she goes. Okay, we’re a little bit over so I have to sign off. Thank you for watching and, on behalf of the crew, I’d like to wish you all a goodnight: Goodnight.
“It got colder, didn’t it? Let’s at least give Trump a fighting chance, okay? Let’s go inside and grab a burger: my treat.”
