  1. Chapter 25: Section 3 “I’m against sin. I’ll kick it as long as I”ve got a foot, and I’ll fight it as long as I’ve got a fist. I’ll butt it as long as I”ve got a head. I’ll bite it as long as I’ve got a tooth. And when I’m old and fistless and footless and toothless, I’ll gum it ‘till I go home to Glory.” Billy Sunday, sermon Social and Cultural Tensions Who wouldn’t agree with Sunday’s message?

They’re clearly needed in our economy. It makes sense to bring them out of the shadows and give them full access to their rights” Amnesty for illegal aliens is simply reward for law-breaking. No system depending on a strict regard for the national law can treat law-breaking so casually. Amnesty will be a magnet for further illegal immigrants, who hope to be the future recipients of the nations “compassion”. American Issues Connector
