Stop the hate speech and fix our problems: by Dr. Glenn Mollette
Hate speech doesn’t work for any
person or group in America. The result is
always hurt. The shooting of Majority Whip
Steve Scalise at a baseball practice is further
proof.
Here are some of the comments
and other rhetoric that Sean Hannity recently
remarked about on an evening broadcast and
his website.
• Hollywood Actor Mark Ruffalo calls
on NBC News to “cease hiring white conser-
vatives.”
• “Knights for Socialism” group at a
Florida University teaches students how to
“fight the fascists.”
• Anti-Trump “resistance” leaders
say they want to “Make America Ungovern-
able,” call for “direct action” tactics against
Republicans.
• Kathy Griffin’s photo shoot depict-
ing President Trump’s severed head.
• Charlie Sheen wishes death on
Donald Trump, tweeting, “Dear God; Trump
next, please! Trump next, please!” following
the death of actress Carrie Fisher.
• President Trump murdered in musi-
cian Marilyn Manson’s music video.
• Katie Tur insinuates Donald Trump
will begin killing journalists on MSNBC,
saying “Donald Trump has made no secret
about going after journalists”
• Unhinged NYU professor calls
on students to attack conservative speaker
Gavin McInnes, calls his supporters “Nazis.”
• Rachel Maddow says Donald Trump
wants to murder journalists.
• Comedian Jim Carrey supports
Kathy Griffin’s photo shoot, says he dreams
of killing President Trump.
• Madonna says she wants to “blow
up the White House” during a speech.
• Black Lives Matter say they want to
“fry cops like bacon” during a rally in Min-
nesota.
• President Obama urges liberal activ-
ists to, “Get in their faces.”
• Actor Mickey Rourke goes on anti-
Trump rant, says “F*** him, F*** the horse
he rode in on, his wife’s one of the biggest
gold-diggers I know.”
• Rapper Big Sean raps about murder-
ing Donald Trump with an icepick.
• Late-Night host Stephen Colbert
goes on anti-Trump tirade, calls him “Vladi-
mir Putin’s c***-holster.”
• Comedian Bill Maher jokes about
Trump family incest.
• Rapper Snoop Dogg stages phony
execution of ‘clown’ Donald Trump.
• NBC and New York Times contribu-
tor Malcolm Nance calls on ISIS to suicide-
bomb Trump-owned properties.
• NYC Theater group stages perfor-
mance of ‘Julius Caesar,’ showing the sav-
age stabbing-death of ‘Donald Trump.’
• Protesters in Philadelphia chant
“Kill Trump - Kill Pence” during May Day
demonstrations.
Thanks to Sean Hannity and SeanHan-
nity.com for providing this startling informa-
tion.
We’ve heard many times that “sticks
and stones may break my bones but words
will never hurt me.” Words are painful but
often lead to very cruel actions. While some
of these American personalities hopefully
would never act out their speech, their
speech influences America. Millions read so-
cial media, watch television and they follow
America’s celebrities. Speech is influential
when it comes from so many people who are
in the public eye.
President Trump is not a perfect man
nor is Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton or
Mike Pence. We should help President
Trump accomplish something. We should
build the wall; take some of the tax burden
off businesses and the average American tax-
payer. We should stop wasting Americans’
money that is paid into Social Security so
that seniors will have something to count
on in their senior years. We need our roads,
bridges and water systems in America fixed
or replaced. We need to continue to build
strong energy sources such as wind, so-
lar, natural gas and clean coal. We need to
work together to help our kids receive good
educations without costing the price of a
new house. We need to fix the high cost of
medical care and prescription drugs. Some
of America’s neighborhoods are out of hand
with reported murders every night.
Spewing hate filled venomous words at
each other solves nothing. All political sides
need to tone it down. Calling for hurt or
even death to the President or any law abid-
ing citizen is evil. We need to all become
human beings again, stop being stupid, go to
work and resolve our problems.

nod? Are they going to be admitted to the
barn association, write them writs of habeas
porpoise, or just sue each other out of court?
Are we really doing them a favor by not
enrichelating their talking prior to a proper
propulsion into adultery? I say no!”
At this point, two ladies in the audience
quickly excused themselves and dashed into
the hallway.
“Instead of being instructed in proper
English, our students today spend all their
time watching private defective shows on
television. So I think teachers should work
on getting ‘em more eloquenter than they are
now.”
“Mr. Wilson,” asked one of the board
members, “what is it about the way our stu-
dents speak that you find objectionable?”
“They say like all the time. Instead of
making a simple declarational sentencing,
they say, ‘Oh, I was like this and he was like
that, and she like ate dinner.’

lessons. They’re always, like, free.

Home Country: by Slim Randles
The closed-season school board meet-
ing was called to order half an hour late by
its chairman, J. Buckdancer Alcott, because
the board members saw Windy Wilson sit-
ting in the audience.
Windy had no children, and he sure
as sugar wasn’t a teacher, but he could talk.
And he was patiently biding his time. De-
spite the board’s foot dragging through the
agenda, Windy didn’t give up and go home.
Finally, Alcott said it was time for pub-
lic feedback and asked if anyone wanted to
speak. Windy raised his hand. Alcott looked
desperately around, but Windy’s hand was
the only one raised. He nodded in Windy’s
direction.
“My name is Alphonse Wilson,” he
said, standing, “and I live here.”
“We know who you are, Windy,” said
Alcott.
“Thanks, Buck. I feel it’s my duty to
bring to the board’s attention a strategic
dearth of learning with these young people
today. A paucity of eddyflication. In short,
their vocabulary is seriously obfusticated.
We have to ask ourselves, what are these
young people going to do in polite society
when a hostess passes around the horse
doovers? Are they going to palaver proper,
or just sit there on their sacrolibriums and

Sinners All
Luke 7:36-39 (NKJV) 36 Then one of the Pharisees
asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee’s
house, and sat down to eat. 37 And behold, a woman in the city
who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in
the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,
38 and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began
to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair
of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the
fragrant oil. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited Him
saw this, he spoke to himself, saying, “This man, if He were a
prophet, would know who and what manner of woman this is
who is touching Him, for she is a sinner.”
The whole passage in Luke 7 goes from verse 36 to
verse 50 – it would be good to read the whole passage. I read
this passage to keep a focus on who I am in Jesus Christ – a
forgiven sinner. It is so easy to slip into the mode of thinking
we’re not as bad as someone else. Too easy, in fact, because the
Bible declares we are all sinners. (Romans 3:23, “For all have
sinned and come short of the glory of God.”) It is far too easy
to miss the fact of the old saying attributed to John Bradford,
and English reformer, as he watched prisoners taken to a place
of execution, “There but for the grace of God goes John Brad-
ford.” This has come down to us in the form of, “There but for
the grace of God go I.”
As I have counseled over the years, I have come to
believe that there lies latent in each of us the capacity for great
acts of evil. The New Testament calls King David of the Old
Testament, a man after God’s own heart (Acts 13:12), and yet 2
Samuel 11 records David’s sin of adultery with Bathsheba and
his murder of her husband, Uriah. So what made David a “man
after God’s own heart”? I believe it was his sincere and com-
plete repentance, his willingness to admit that he was wrong
and that God was right, and despite his sin, he trusted that God
forgives – and he began again to seek the Lord.
One of the most ridiculous statements people make
to me when they sin is, “I am only hurting myself.” I like to
add: you’re hurting your parents, your children, your brothers
and sisters, your friends, your co-workers, your acquaintances,
your grandchildren, your nieces and nephews, and whoever
else you rub shoulders with. One thing we all have in common
is sin, and the one thing we all need is forgiveness! I live in
the forgiveness of God every day, and if it wasn’t for this fact
I would be doing something else. The Lord wants us to ask in
repentance, and we will find forgiveness there waiting for us.
See you Sunday.
In Christ,
Pastor Dave
