Pop Culture, Sports And Contradictions

To The Reader’s Forum: A curious quote about God says, “God is too big to fit one religion.” Sounding like it popped out of a pitiful intellectual puddle of pop culture, the quote sure enough is traceable to a rapper in 2006. The quote assumes that God can be shrunk into a natural container. The Infinite God cannot be contained. JB Phillips wrote a book in the previous century called “Your God is Too Small.” You make God too small to shrink him into a mere container of any kind. I Kings 8: 27 says, “Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain [God].” ...

Leftists Have A Right To Speak Their Minds

To the Reader’s Forum: Many of our national leaders, most of whom I very much respect, are taking a tack which I do not agree with. I am certainly with them when they say that the leftists are despicable, but I don’t think they should be told to leave our country. As long as they don’t do or advocate anything which could be construed as treasonous they should have the right to stay here and promote their political beliefs. Norman Anderson Falconer

If You Support Racist Sayings, You’re Racist

If You Support Racist Sayings, You’re Racist To the Reader’s Forum: Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream that his children and all of America would measure the quality of a person by the content of their character instead of the color of their skin or their religion. Today we are witnessing a President who feels that the color of one’s skin and one’s religious affiliation are more important than the conduct of their character. What is equally worse is that we have a political party who refuses to measure the conduct and character of the President out of fear that they may not ...

Welfare Is Completely Out Of Control

To the Reader’s Forum: Censoring information is what Kwai Chang Caine lamented on the 1970s TV series Kung Fu, starring David Carrradine. The character Master Po with the shimmering blind eyes stated, “To suppress a truth is to give it power beyond endurance.” The 2020 election is about one thing and one thing only. To wit: Is everyone in the third world entitled to illegally or legally come to America and receive welfare, food stamps and Medicaid at taxpayer expense. If you believe yes, vote Democrat. If you believe no, vote Republican. A few short years ago there were ...

A Plea To Policy Makers To Have Compassion

To The Reader’s Forum: To ignore the plight of animals — domestic and captive wild — in the “entertainment” industry, those caught in cruel leg-hold traps or snares, those raised for food or their pelts under deplorable and inhumane conditions, those used in painful laboratory experiments, those given away at fairs and carnivals only to be callously discarded once the novelty wears off - and to focus on the declawing of cats performed by trained veterinarians under anesthesia — just doesn’t make any kind of sense. How can we call ourselves a civilized society while we ...
