It is disheartening to hear our Congressman “For Life” David Price preach to us about gun control, about accepting Syrian refugees, and about the futility of prayer.
To add insult to injury, our new Attorney General Loretta Lynch warns us to watch what we say or else.
Excuse me, just a minute, can we wait until the bodies are buried in California before you start barking orders?
Leftists like David Price and Loretta Lynch have an uncanny talent for making Americans feel like foreigners in their own country. I guess the plan is to have Syrians and Mexicans compete for livable wage jobs and affordable housing here in Chapel Hill.
Listen to Alan Culton’s Commentary
I was born here. How come I get the feeling I am the one who is supposed to get in line for a temporary work visa?
David Price was a religion major. He should know that this idea of compassion for Syrians is not based on any universally accepted ethos.
We live in a post-Christian America. Planned Parenthood takes my tax dollars and men marry men.
Be careful here, I’m not making a judgement. It’s only an observation. But, if the Pilgrims could see us today, they would likely say, “Hey folks, you’re on your own. At least we had a book.”
Besides, Chapel Hill is a secular municipality in a secular republic. It is not a church.
Compassion for the world is not in our charter. Immigration policy is far too important to be left in the hands of an egotistical, secular humanist like David Price, who has no authority to tell us what is and what is not compassionate.
