Off the Cuff, Part 1
Dr. Robert L. Sumner

Well, “Happy 232^nd Birthday,” America! We say that even as we wonder how much longer you will remain “the land of the free and the home of the brave.” Illegal immigration, free love, Sodomy enhancement, divorce and remarriage, polygamy, child abuse, drunkenness, illegal drug use, sins of every style are abounding, and socialistic programs are turning this country into a land our Founding Fathers would never recognize. Nor would they, we think, want to hang around very long.

As for full-blown socialism, our Declaration of Independence, adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776 with a unanimous vote (not a single delegate opposing or abstaining), the second paragraph stated: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Incidents and Illustrations
Evangelist Robert L. Sumner

THIS 6-YEAR-OLD THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO THE SLAMMER. Randy Castro attends a Pentecostal church where he is a Royal Ranger. He loves to build things with his Lego set and he has a dream of someday being a first-class soccer player. He also attends the Potomac View Elementary School in Woodbridge, just south of the District of Columbia in Virginia, off I-95.

Randy was on the school playground enjoying himself when he notice a classmate, Katherine DeLeon, a little girl who regularly played with him. She was kneeling on a bench when another boy ran up to her, whacked her on the rear, laughed and ran off. He did that twice more and it looked like fun to Randy, so he ran over and whacked her twice in the same place, then also ran off laughing.
