“HISTORY IS WRITTEN BY THE VICTORIOUS”

(Jul. 4, 2017) — “Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to another round of ‘Pulse of the Nation.’ As you can see, we’re back on our corner about to interview your neighbors to maybe glean some insight on what’s bugging them. Hello, I’m Roving and will be your host…look who we have here: it’s none other than our nation’s crystal-ball-gazer, Madam Shylock. Hey, how you doin’?”
“Oh, you startled me. Hello, Roving and crew, and before you ask, I’m up here from the enclave in Florida to visit my dear old poor mother.”
“Your mother isn’t poor, although she may be up there in years. What’s your take on our president wrestling CNN?”
“Laughed the crystal ball off the table. The obvious message was we’re sick and tired of some of the so-called ‘news’ businesses not providing the product that we expect; instead they’re delivering a tainted product. If they were delivering food there would be a heck of a lot of food poisoning. And here comes my train; nice seeing you again. Happy Fourth.”
“Same to you; thank you. Next? Hello, what’s your name and what’s your concern this day?”
“My name is Paul and my concern is the followers of the Quran. I mean, how can you trust somebody who worships a book that instructs that it’s their duty to kill you? You can’t; it’s really disgusting. Look, their MO, their modus operandi, is the same worldwide: they move in, rape, murder and declare Muslim ‘No-Go’ zones. They take over by introducing Sharia Law and it’s all over but the mopping-up of the blood, figuratively and literally.”
“Is that your only concern?”
“Your one funny man and there’s my ride. Bye.”
“Excuse me, please; care to be interviewed and get to be on ‘Pulse?’”
“You bet; we watch your show and have really learned a lot, especially how cynical our troops are at the bottom of the totem pole.”
“Lady, you ain’t heard nothin’ yet.”
“Really? But I think it’s a shame how our young men cop such an attitude so early in life, don’t you?”
“Not at all, lady; not by a long shot. It’s about growing up and facing the music as soon as they leave the nest: best wake-up call possible; best training we can give our young men, in my humble opinion. Find out what life is really like. Lesson number one is the Dear John letter they get in Boot Camp, which is one tough hurdle because they can’t leave or call.”
“Can’t even call?”
“Not when I was in Boot Camp, which was run exactly as what they finally perfected during World War II. That’s when they found out what worked and what didn’t and, trust me, they had it nailed. Nowadays it’s not quite the same, more politically-correct ridiculousness. I’ll tell you the trouble we’re facing: too many Obots left over from the past administration, and I’m including ALL nooks and crannies of the government, right down to the part-time librarian in your hometown.”
“Gee whiz: you’re one of those, aren’t you?”
“Yes, I’m, as you say, ‘one of those,’ and I’m proud of it because I earned the right to utter every sarcastic remark that I do, and I hasten to add that I actually enjoy going over the edge, as they say. How about that?”
“Figures. So you were one of those at the bottom of the totem pole?”
“Lady, as soon as you raise your right hand and take the Oath you’re automatically expendable, so it doesn’t mean a hill of beans whether you’re a General or a Private, although the odds of a General getting shot at are quite a bit diminished compared to a PFC; so much diminished, in fact, that one has to wonder if there’s any connection between a General and his troops.”
“You’ve got an attitude.”
“Listen: the amount of leadership from Obama masquerading as the president was absolute zero, got it? Trump is looking out for the little guy because, simply put, the Rules of Engagement have been changed to give the little guy, the grunt, at least a fighting chance to make it home with all his limbs intact, pun intended.”
“Well, I never!”
“That’s right, Lady, you never thought about all those guys driving the same darn route at the same darn time day after day because our military schools are proud to weed out the Pattons: true story. Follow orders, irrespective of the changing conditions, and regardless of the ebb and flow on the battlefield. No doubt in my mind you voted for Obama and you voted for Hillary, which puts you on the wrong side of history, because history is written by the victorious and you and what you support are as un-American as Socialism. Do I make myself clear? Goodbye.”
“Well, I never!”
“And that’s all the time we have for the show. Let me just say that Trump wrestling CNN was a joke and we all had fun watching, but it didn’t even come close to the genuine laughter that CNN generated by their childish response. Thanks, CNN, for prolonging the joke because the joke’s on you. Now, on behalf of the crew, I’d like to wish each and every one of you a goodnight: Goodnight.
“Man; sorry I went off on a tangent but sometimes people just rub me the wrong way; know what I mean? Anyway, burger time: my treat.”
