No moral compass
I can understand how a person of Christian faith would be encouraged by this president’s remarks during the lighting of the national Christmas tree.
Even though I am not affiliated with any organized religion, I firmly believe in the fundamental right to freely practice a religion in this country.
I do have reservations, though, as I think anyone should, when it comes to taking moral or religious advice from Donald Trump. Unfortunately for our nation, our current president possesses no moral compass, nor does he have any interest in religion unless it can garner him financial or political gain.

Stuewie, the United States was founded on Christian principles and ideals as demonstrated throughout our founding documents and the writings of our founding fathers. If you choose not to partake, you are free to do so. It’s not the other way around.
Somehow, your monthly rants (twice in October) against our president seem to squeak by the editorial rules and regs committee. “Writers are limited to one letter per month, with subject matter changing from previous letters.” I don’t think Stuewie has had an original thought in quite some time.

Rants?? No original thoughts??? (Some comments are so ironic they would probably glow in the dark.) I hope Mr. Gunness will ignore all the offensive waste-of-space snark and continue to speak his mind.

Stu,
That, and he's a pedophile gangster.
He pretends to preach about godliness...it's all an act to keep the flock satiated...all from a burned out reality tv star.
Now, he's started yet another Republican war for oil.
Maybe our soldiers should replace their American flag uniform patches with Citgo logos?

Bigfoot: Our normal publication date would have been the Friday of Jan. 2, had we not been on a special holiday schedule over Christmas and New Years. So I used that as the operative date, giving Mr. Gunness one letter for December and one for January. He will not be due again until February, if it makes you feel any better, and I apply the same rules to everyone, regardless.
