Musical Chairs
There seems to be reports of sudden deafening silence followed by the sounds of a scuffle. This is going on all across America. Further investigation has found that it is nothing more than a giant game of musical chairs played by various groups interested in preserving their own rights. The game is coordinated by the federal government in conjunction with the United Nations. It is played by members of property rights groups, First and Second Amendment supporters, families, churches, and anyone else who values freedom and liberty. When you lose your chair, you lose the rights that you were fighting for. The rules are simple, everyone walks in single file around a circle of chairs that numbers one less than the number of players. While they are walking around the chairs music is playing, sometimes loud and sometimes softly. When the music stops everyone rushes to take a seat. The one who finds himself without a seat is ejected from the game. A chair is removed and the music once again plays. This is repeated until there is only one chair left. We are all in this game, whether we want to be or not. The rules are simple and just because you do not want to, or cannot hear the music does not exempt you from playing the game. After each game, everyone with a seat seems to be relieved that they still have a seat and do not show much concern for the one that just lost his rights along with his seat. Do not expect any help from anyone else in the game as everyone else wants to be seated when the music stops. It is a sure way to divide everyone up and conquer everyone, one right at a time. Many hear the music, but it is not loud enough yet. They choose not to get involved and fight for their seat when the music stops. Some may root for a player and think that their rights are still in place when their player is knocked out of the competition. They may cheer everytime a player gets booted with whom they disagree, glad their player is still in the game. The trouble is that so many people do not even know the game is being played. They go about their lives not even hearing the music to question why it is playing. Oh, there it goes again, this time the music is 'God Bless America'. What you say you can't hear it. Get out of the way. I want to be seated when the music stops!
