Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport passenger lounge in El Paso, Texas, while awaiting their respective flights.
One is an American Indian from Lame Deer, Montana; another is a Texas cowboy on his way to Dallas for a livestock show; and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived in the U.S. from the Middle East.
Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull. The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table, and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face.
The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping; but still no plane comes.
Finally, the American Indian clears his throat and softly he speaks, "At one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."
The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward. "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?"
The cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth, and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl: "That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do believe it's a-comin'!"
Sadly, those running this nation are no longer as wise or observant as the Cowboy ... time was, We The People were the sovereigns of the UNited States of America. Now, democrats see themselves in that roll, and from my quiet porch there doesn’t seem to be anything to counter their corrosiveness. We The People have continued to return to office people who have banked their empowerment stocks on slaughtering the alive unborn. Now these same bastards are promoting a lying Chicago conman for their presidential hopeful. And the fourth estate/fifth column is functioning as his gigantic propaganda lies machine. See any chance we will realize the Moslem extremists want US all dead?
I can dig it!

I threw up a little in my mouth when I read how your wrote "UNited"...

Problem is, nowadays, most of them cowboys are the brokeback mountain kind.
I’m so glad someone finally realized I do that (and other little quirks of spelling meant to convey a subliminal message). My favorite during the sinkEmperor years was The White HOuse.

Good one! Thanks for the ping.
Anyone given any thought to what Baraki and his Becky Homecky might call the White HOuse should they win in November? Surprised some of our wonderful artists haven’t put a paint brush to the redecorating plans.
I believe we’ll see cowboys and liberals before cowboys and muzzies. Our nation is up for a BIG wake-up call!
I’m not from Texas, but I do own a Stetson.
I don’t have a stetson, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn express last night..
Well, I don’t get that joke. (And I’m not sure I want to.)
Are you ready for a round of Cowboys and Muslims?
