Some quotes…Thoughts from others:

- “How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and [how] hard it is to undo that work again!” -Twain again

- “Evangelical Christianity, as everyone knows, is founded upon hate, as the Christianity of Christ was founded upon love.” -Mencken, again

- “It’s like in golf… A lot of people – I don’t want this to sound trivial – but a lot of people are switching to these really long putters, very unattractive… it’s weird. You see these great players with these really long putters, because they can’t sink three-footers anymore. And, I hate it. I am a traditionalist. I have so many fabulous friends who happen to be gay, but I am a traditionalist.” -Trump, 1946-??
