Apparently proslytizing the gospels is off limits, too. Wouldn't want to offend anyone.

1. Frank’s got a nice, tall wall. 2. And when socialists say, “I hate to preach ... “ (both Obamas, Her Heinous, Lieawatha. Chuckles the Sad Clown) you can expect a “but ... “, then a lecture.

I detest this double minded ‘donkey’... He more than any one attempted to influence our election ... I am so relieve the perfect record is kept by our Heavenly Father, when it comes to the intentions of people for hire, that claim they serve Him.
