    Didn't Jesus himself compare people to animals? Not just once, but many times?



    He called the Samaritan woman a dog. He called the Pharisees vipers. He refers to the saved as sheep, the unsaved pretenders as goats. He spoke of Jerusalem as baby chicks, and himself as a hen. He is known as the Lion of the tribe of Judah.



    So, what's wrong with using animal analogies?

    Because it was a Republican named Donald Trump that used the analogy.

    Nobody would have cared if Hillary did the same thing.

    Can't be done. The government is involved.

    Just the Feds!

    Anyone remember this in Newburgh (city), New York:

    Actually the Federal Government threatened to cut off all welfare funding if Newburgh proceeded with the program. And then there is this:

    I still believe Scripture says it best:

    1 Timothy 5:8. But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

    2 Thessalonians 3:10. For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.
