The Speech Oprah Should’ve Given
www.TrevorGrantThomas.com ^ | 1/13/2018 | Trevor Grant Thomas

It is an honor to be here tonight as the recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award. As surely almost everyone here well knows, DeMille’s last—and his most successful—film was The Ten Commandments. This 1956 epic is a motion picture classic and one of the most popular films of all time. In the “opening card,” the words of DeMille himself read,

“Our modern world defined God as a 'religious complex' and laughed at the Ten Commandments as OLD FASHIONED. Then, through the laughter, came the shattering thunder of the World War. And now a blood drenched, bitter world – no longer laughing – cries for a way out. There is but one way out. It existed before it was engraven upon Tablets of Stone. It will exist when stone has crumbled. The Ten Commandments are not rules to obey as a personal favor to God. They are fundamental principles without which mankind cannot live together.”

Though they have never been more needed, tragically, such opinions—and certainly the values that such a statement reflects—have all but disappeared in today’s Hollywood. As with the “blood drenched,” war-ravaged world of which Mr. DeMille spoke, there is but one way out of the craven, perverse, sex-obsessed, bitter world that now exists in Hollywood. The Ten Commandments help point us to that way.

"His"? I think you are promoting your own stuff.

Using Free Republic as a free advertising tool.

That's what I think.

Well, you’re free to think all you want at “Free Republic,” but I’m not him. As I was saying, his American Thinker pieces are here all the time:

Everything you’ve ever posted is written by the same person.

Clearly you wish to promote this person.
But he isn’t you, hmmm?

You should apologize for trying to use Free Republic as an advertising tool for your blog.

How very shameful, that is some very scummy behavior,

You really need to find another cause. Along with his readers, Mr. Thomas has a wife, teenage children, a mother, a father, siblings, many aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews, nieces, friends, etc. who are big fans of his writing.

Oh crap! Are they all going to come kick my butt if I notice that you are pimping your own material?

I'm intimidated, I'm a victim, oh no and woe is me.

Nothing I’ve ever done has anything to do with the fact that you are using Free Republic as an advertising tool for your blog.

And if I had a pudding pop to give you then you could suck it.

Nothing you’ve ever done proves any such “fact.” Keep your pop—as you’ve used that before as well—for yourself.
