These days - with the decline of the traditional churches - I'm concerned about where we obtain some form of moral direction.
We don't get paid to cheer lead for Donald Trump. We're just paid to cover him.
Jesus was a white man, too. Its like we have, hes a historical figure thats a verifiable fact, as is Santa, I just want kids to know that. How do you revise it in the middle of the legacy in the story and change Santa from white to black?
The American public overwhelmingly regrets ObamaCare, our veterans are dying waiting to see doctors, the IRS intimidates conservative groups, the southern border is compared to a sieve and the president assures us not to worry - smiling, golfing and at this very moment partying. . .

If you're wearing a pair of shoes that's a little flashy, then it's important not to be flashy up top and vice versa.
Somebody saying something offensive to you, or insulting to you, is not pleasant, but it's part of life.

Assimilating the practice into commodity or symbol of status nullifies its fundamental aims; therefore at the center of my own adherence to to this ranginess in taste is that it doesn't add up to membership in a private club. The differences choose me. There are so many approaches, so many innovative moves, so many oddly shaped ears in the field; may they never sing in unison.
In a society under the forms of which the stronger faction can readily unite and oppress the weaker, anarchy may as truly be said to reign as in a state of nature.
