I then read what your paper wrote on the event, and for the first time in many years, it made me homesick. I haven’t had a Phillips County address in 20 years, but I have come to an awareness and understanding of how big the battle is regarding freedom, and what threatens that freedom. Crazy people do not scare me. Crazy people with large financial back-ing, that is the thing to fear. Every breathing person is con...
