…ions of Jesus and for the foundations of satan to be 100% destroyed in the USA right now.” And by “satan” they mean anyone who isn’t the kind of Christian they like. We also must put away the childish notion that America is “special” and somehow uniquely God blessed because of our great wealth.

…hools. Other monthly “celebrations” Andrew has declared include Affirm the USA’s Covenant with God (July) and God in US History Month (May). Andrew must have missed that part of American history, or civics, or constitutional law, or Schoolhouse Rock where they taught about the Establishment Clause. Because he believes that Jesus is the king of America. That’s right, and you can get a bumper sticker from Andrew if you think so too. Separation of ch…

…grants from their homes. They are pulled to the U.S. because of demand for cheap labor. One of the major pushes came in the ’90s with the passage of NAFTA, which opened the door to many agri-businesses to move farms down to Mexico, putting small farmers out of business. And while the number of undocumented border crossers is down, Brother David says, it will be virtually impossible to eliminate them as long as the opportunities for jobs exist. As…
