YOU WANT CHANGE -- YOU GOT CHANGE - Just a Minute radio for Monday 09-01-08

Hello Again… it’s MONDAY – A whole unspoiled week ahead…

 

Except for the RNC… which is laying off today while Gustaf does his thing on the Gulf Coast – and Democrats try to figure out what happened – and where do we go from here? The announcement that Mrs. Sarah Palin – AKA the Governor of Alaska is Senator John McCain’s pick for his V.P. running mate put everyone in the wonderment mode.

 

That news was SO well kept and the surprise so sudden the only person I could find on the Internet besides C-Span who had interviewed her earlier this year was Larry Kudlow. He seemed to have a bit of feeling that she *might* be the right one – and he was certainly correct.

 

Mrs. Palin… It’s hard to know what’s the right term of respect for someone who, despite the MSM’s crow calling for her “thin” credentials which sounds pretty thin to me after letting Mr. Obama off the hook for more than two years. – Is a winsome hockey-mom with five beautiful children… the oldest who will be shipping off to Iraq in September at age 17 or 18 I believe – and the youngest is a six month old Downs syndrome baby who they welcomed into the family. With three big sisters to take care of him it looks like he’s come in for a landing on the right doorstep.

 

Anyway… (it’s easy to get sidetracked on Sarah’s biography… see already I feel at home enough to call her Sarah – which isn’t appropriate for the governor of one of our 50 states) Anyway… you will, or have, read of her being not a soccer mom --- but a hockey mom in Alaska… plus she got started in pubic affairs as a student journalist, a PTA mom – became a city councilperson in Wasilla, AK… then mayor of two terms (which would have been more except the office is term limited – hoo ray) was appointed by the then Gov. Frank Murkowski to the Oil and Gas Regulatory Commission – discovered corruption on the part of a fellow commissioner – tried to get it cleaned up… was not backed up by the Governor so resigned and ran against him  -- won the primary and the general election against a two term former Democrat governor.

 

When she took over the governor’s office let the personal chef go – saying she could make the children’s sandwiches OK herself. Did away with the governor’s body-guard as un-needed … (She’s a life member of the NRA as are many Alaskans.) And sold the state’s executive jet on e-bay – saying it was too expensive. She turned back a bonus of the Alaska oil pipeline profits to Alaska taxpayers in the form of a $1200 bonus – and is working on getting a 70 Billion natural gas line built (with opposition from the oil interests) to the lower 48 to help us get over our energy crisis.

 

Well… there’s a lot more to tell and it will be told by the media especially in the coming weeks… but now this campaign will whiz by in a hurry… so we’d all better get ready to concentrate… and you probably know what I’m going to say next… And PRAY!

 

The Palin family are born-again, Bible believing Christians, I have it on personal authority from people I know and trust. There will be much more about that too… as the mainstream media will certainly attack her and the family from every possible angle. It’ll be an interesting time but one we need to buckle down – as Christians – and pray for their protection. This is a spiritual battle.  You cover your part of the wall (says Nehemiah) … and I’ll do mine with the Lord’s guidance.

 

Cordially, IN HIM

PS – I’ll try to have more up close and personal stuff tomorrow.

“JUST A MINUTE”

YOU WANT CHANGE -- YOU GOT CHANGE

Just A Minute – last Friday – everybody leavin’ Denver guessin’ about Big Mac’s VP pick – come Saturday morning – the political earthquake hits -- 6.7 on the Richter scale – and John McCain surprises everybody (except maybe Larry Kudlow) and announces Alaska’s Governor, 44 year old, Hockey-mom, former Miss Alaska runner-up Sarah Palin, who has so many interesting points in her bio it’s hard to pick:  I’ll take McCain’s choice: (quote) “She’s exactly who I need to win this race.”

Now the main stream media knots itself in attack mode – throws out the files on Pawlenty, Lieberman, Romney even Kay Baily Hutchinson. Sarah Palin’s hat flew into the ring from so far out in right field you hadda use binoculars; but Christian commentators sure like what they saw.

So unless you’re hiding under an unturned rock, you already know parts of this story and I know some people, who know some people, and we’ll try to get more info by tomorrow -- but if you saw James Dobson’s clip on Fox News, you’ve pretty much gotten the right idea.
