Sound Off for July 19, 2016

Let reason, sanity prevail

Please pray for peace and calm this week in Cleveland as well as at the DNC later this month in Philadelphia. Let's all embrace the sanctity of life.

Political dilution

As long as violent criminals see a Justice Department do nothing, they will kill at will. So long as the Justice Department is appointed by politicians, they will be puppets of the President.

Take a civics lesson

No one has ever cut Social Security. It is, however, the president who decides if you get a raise or not. Learn how your government works before commenting.

Forget doctrinal purity

It's irrelevant that the Nice truck terrorist wasn't a Sharia adherent. The 9-11 terrorists' "free time" activities included strippers, whiskey, cursing, gambling, etc. Islamic terrorists are hypocrites.

Speaking of which ...

Jesus would not belittle the disabled, minorities, or women. With a "Christian" friend like the Donald, you wouldn't need any enemies.

Institutional act

The State Department, not Hillary Clinton, paid money to an Israeli group to oust Netanyahu.

Not much of a threat

Obama says he'll "never give up on diplomacy"... boy, that has ISIS trembling ... and our allies shaking.
