   My fellow Christians, we live in a time when the lamestream liberal media   
   likes to emphasize the DIFFERENCES between us, to foment conflict.  To cause   
   squirmishes.  They would do well to heed out favorite Alt-Right lyricist Neil   
   Peart, who wrote that "   
   the spaces in between leave room for you and I to grow."  And at the rate I've   
   been eatin' the bratwursts and guzzlin' Bud Lites, I need PLENTY of room, heh   
   heh!  Say, lite beer might taste lite, but it still helps me pack on the   
   pounds.  I'm the proud    
   owner of a Wal-Mart physique!   
      
   And my buddies all have Wal-Mart physiques as well.   
      
   Which brings me to today's sermon.  Today I'd like to contradict the   
   lamestream liberal media conspiracy, and discuss what we have IN COMMON.  Yes,   
   I dare say that MOST of us have the Wal-Mart build.  Most of us also have   
   long, luxuriant beards, and    
   sweaty bald heads as well.  But it's not just the PHYSICAL things we share,   
   because we are spiritual beings, Christians.  With SOULS.   
      
   And as spiritual Christian beings, we have certain needs.  We need to FIGHT   
   for Jesus, God, and morality.  Fight the liberal media -- and also the   
   Mexicans.     
      
   We also need, on a daily if not constant basis, FAITH.  Faith in God's wisdom,   
   benevolence, and STRENGTH.  Faith in Jesus' return.  Faith in the Afterlife.    
   Faith in His plan.   
      
   But in addition to faith, we need ritual; we need fellowship; we need   
   companions; WE NEED BUDDIES.   
      
   You know my friends in Christ, it is not a sign of weakness to need buddies.    
   It is simply how the Lord Created Us.  And it's something we all share.   
      
   Why, Neil never goes motor-biking without his Partner Michael.  Geddy never   
   goes out for hot dogs without Alex.  I never cook brats on the grill or chill   
   a few cases of Bud Lite when my buddies ain't on their way.   
      
   And even our Great and well-spoken President Donald Trump never does anything   
   without HIS buddy Vladimir Putin.  A good man.  An beacon of decency.  Also a   
   Christian.  Why, a theologian no less discerning than George "Dubya" Bush once   
   admitted that he    
   saw, with his rather narrowly-spaced optical organs into Putin's soul - and   
   recognized a fellow Lover of Christ.  Hallelujah!   
      
   You know my friends, the liberal lamestream media conspiracy would have us   
   believe that we shouldn't trust Putin.  And I chortle at this, accidentally   
   ejecting bits of lunch meat from my maw.  'Cause normly they (in the   
   lamestream media conspiracy) LOVE    
   anyone and anything from that part o' God's World.  Suddenly Donald Trump   
   makes a nice buddy outta Trump, and we're told to act all spicious.  Not me my   
   friends.  Not Joseph R. Mahoney.  Nope.  This ain't MY first bobba-Q.     
      
   The fact is, they are friends, they are buddies, and we HAVE to respect that.    
   Anything less is an act of TREASON.     
      
   So I think our favorite Alt-Right Philosopher Neil ought to seriously look   
   into making his next concept album an exploration of friendship.  Of buddies.    
   Of his own buddyhood with Michael; of Geddy's with Alex over hot dogs; and of   
   Donald Trump and    
   Vladimir Putin.     
      
   And Hugh Syme could do a wonderful cover of Putin and Donald embracing,   
   shirtless, Trump with his heavenly cantaloupe complexion, Putin bare-chested   
   and rather more waxen in color.   
      
   "Friendship" by Rush:  Let us pray it will hit the shelves soon, and we can   
   indulge a BIG Bud Lite and Brat picnic.  With all our buddies.
