What If

"It's just a thought," I said to him.
"Come on with the come on, bring it," he urged.
"This guy was talking to me about the play-offs that just ended a few days ago --"
"Don't keep me wondering, just bring it."
"Cleveland was two games behind and this guy was complaining that people were always bragging about this top gun on the Cleveland team being so hot and that b.s., but the dude wasn't living up to his rep and G S was taking it to'em and on the way to winning another Championship . . ."
"I still don't know what -- what're you getting at?"
"Well, it got to 3 and 1 and he was boasting, 'It is done, cut out the lights the party's over' and then it got to 3 and 2, Cleveland on a run, and he started frowning and saying things like, 'I thought surely they would choke, down 3 - 1, and now it's 3 - 2, I better put a little change on Cleveland' . . ."

"I still don't understand your point, what're you trying to say?"
"The next thing we knew, it was 3 - 3 and he's got more money on Cleveland than on G S, the team he claimed to be supporting at the beginning.  So, it's just like some of these politicians who started out spouting Red, White, and Blue and supporting the 'American way' and Americans and now they're expressing their scorn for politicians and any Americans who say that we're threatened by Muslim terrorists.  They say that these Americans who say we're at war with the terrorists are persecuting the Muslim religion and that our country guarantees -- was founded on freedom of religion.  They would have us believe that they know more about Islam than the Muslim terrorists who were raised in Islam and kill in the name of Islam . . ."
"I still don't see what you're trying to say."

"What if they're just like that guy who started out favoring the  G S team, but when he saw that the Cleveland team started taking it to the G S team he started favoring Cleveland.  What if these politicians and people who won't even say the name 'Muslim terrorists' and want to allow thousands of Muslims, including terrorists who want to kill Americans, to flood into our country, believe in their minds and hearts that the Muslim terrorist ideology is spreading everywhere?  What if they want to be able to say to the terrorists: 'You are here now and more of you are coming, so look out for us, spare us because we spoke up for you.  When they tried to pin a killing or massacre on you we demanded that they call it work-place violence or we argued that guns kill, not humans, or we found some other excuse to take the heat off of you, so spare us.'
