OKLAHOMA the Musical vs OKLAHOMA the Bloody Farce

They be wrong. Know wuttum sayin'?

A burly Muslim extremist beheads a helpless middle-aged lady and nearly kills another, and his mama say: "There's two sides to every story."

His mama says "I know what they saying," but they be wrong, yo.

Where did this shit take place? Harlem? Compton? Mississippi?

Nope. Ohhhhhhhhh-klahoma.

Remember the musical? Cowboys and farmers were in that one, I think. Nobody in Muslim garb. That was an idealized look at America, wasn't it?

I wouldn't know, because I've never seen the fucking thing, or "State Fair," or most of the all-American musicals that Broadway and Hollywood produced. But I think we're all longing for those days in the 40's and 50's when the American Dream and Mom's apple pie, and the church dance seemed like utopia. "An American Christian! God Damn!" (quoting Randy Newman's song about wanting to be gentile).

Now, Allah. Everything's Coming Up Allah.

What makes this Oklahoma story resonate is that it's mold in the white bread, it's a fly in the oatmeal, it's a dark spreading cancer throughout the healthy wheat fields of the Good Ol' USA.

It shows the stark contrast of "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" and "Surrey With the Fringe On Top" to today's vicious rap garbage and squealy shit from Viley Virus and her newest competition, idiot Ariana Grande.

Christ, I hate to be writing like Archie Bunker, but I can't ignore the truth. The country is rotting. It's full of incredibly stupid, violent people who have no culture. Sure, there have always been incredibly stupid, violent people, and if you were black or Jewish or Hindu and in Oklahoma in the 50's you'd end up a tree ornament with your neck broken. But now?

What the fuck is a Muslim doing in Oklahoma anyway?

How did he end up arrested over and over...and still get a job opportunity from white liberals?

Why did he NOT do his work and instead stomp around demanding everyone convert to Islam?

Why can't his mama speak English? "I know what they saying" ain't English, yo.

I'm well aware of how much this blog is demonizing Muslims lately...when there are millions of Muslims who are doing no harm, and when there are "role models" like Muhammad Ali, who was ready to go to jail rather than fight in Vietnam...but wasn't declaring jihad about it.

But isn't it odd that there are organized bastards like ISIS, and there's no organization in opposition? The Jews, the blacks, women...they have the ADL and NAACP and NOW. You name the group and there's always an organization to stand up for them and complain about injustice and point out the truth. Where's the Muslim leader who is a version of Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton? Where's the Muslim version of Dizzy Desi the Toot (Desmond Anti-Semite Tutu) or the Pope...somebody to remind us, AND Muslims of what their dear, sweet, kind, beautiful, peaceful religion is all about?

So here we are, watching the rot, the decay, and the violence...and a total shift in what people consider to be culture. As dopey as "Oklahoma" was, I'd prefer having that shit blasting on a store's radio instead of Viley and Ariana and Jay-Z.

I'm a Libra, so I think I know when stuff is out of balance. The world is out of balance. There was a time when it seemed like we were all getting along...when everybody liked The Four Tops, for crying out loud. Christ, even Michael Jackson brought us together with his stupid fucking song about not being the father of some little bastard or other.

And so it goes. The headlines around the world are about anti-Semitism, because people are too terrified to scapegoat Muslims or point out who is causing all the terror in this world.

It's a bizarre world where there's Muslim maniacs beheading old ladies in Ohhhhhhhhhhh-klahoma.

What's next on Broadway? The all-Muslim version of Sweeney Todd? Mostly just the chorus: "They all deserve to die...unless they believe in Allah, Mrs. Akbar-al Lovett..."
