I like traditional values church

Don’t care how many non whites it has

God can reach them fine wherever they choose to go

I will confess that aside from the fried chicken and banana pudding etc that those all day black churches down home are way too long for me

And all that shouting

As a southern Baptist I likely enjoy Greek church most when I venture out

First funeral I ever went to was a black man at a black church

He was our family man.....too much Dr Tichenors got him driving one nite....he taught me a lot.....wimmins hunting

I can still smell that duskiness he always had from hard living

44 years latery wife and I spoke about him at lunch today

You have a gift for writing. Your post was very Southern and wonderful. But I’m sure you’ve been told this before.

I'll give you one line from a song your post immediately brought to mind

"Another dirty, dusty Delta day..."

That all of us are immigrants in one form or another. My great grandfather came from Ireland.

Legal immigrants who came here to assimilate and make the whole better not take away from it as leeches and try and make it like the area they fled.

That is my prayer, too, Resolute. But I can tell you from where I stand, it’s not promising. I live in a small Texas town, population 2,000 strong. The illegal population makes the town about 10,000 weak and very needy. Our hospital cannot accommodate that kind of increase. And that’s just one area of concern. Schools are another desperate problem.

Hey, sorry. There are so many posters around here who promote such nonsense, I missed your subtlety. I’ll be more careful next time.

"The writing was on the wall after LBJ opened the floodgate from the 3rd world countries and no subsequent president dared to reverse that trend."

and that is the salient point. And some, Dubya and Obama in particular, have chosen to throw gasoline on LBJ's fire.

“That all of us are immigrants in one form or another. “

Gosh, where have we seen that self-serving line before? SPLC? Obama? Dubya?

In contrast to that Open Borders foolishness, many Americans are descendents of colonists.

Colonists who carved a country out of wilderness so that your ancestors would have someplace nice to immigrate to, and so that you could advocate transforming it into something else.
