CHAFFEE CALLS PALIN "WACKO." - Just a Minute for 9-12-08

            Howdy – it’s FRIDAY… Tomorrow sleep late?               

 

            Dr. Bob Jones Sr. used to point out it’s possible to tell a lot about a man by who his enemies are. If he’s a good man and been around a while – he’s probably collected a bunch of scoundrels who hate him. Well… the same thing applies in the political world. You often can get the drift of how much a person is committed to a line of action – or how firmly he/she holds to a position by being able to recognize who is in opposition.

 

            Sarah Palin, and the compelling story that half the Washington news corps is scouring over Alaska is seeking either to corroborate or punch holes in, is no doubt used to that kind of opposition – when turned inside out becomes a sterling endorsement of character. If you’re disliked by all the gangsters in town… then you must be doing something right.

 

            So – I’ve heard or read several Washington or New York correspondents say this is absolutely the most interesting presidential election contest they’ve ever witnessed. And I agree with that. The campaign thus far has had enough twists and turns to fill a paperback novel – and we still have fifty odd days to go… The “odd” part can’t get much ‘odder.’

 

            I hope you have a good weekend – And perhaps you and your family will celebrate in your church this weekend the blessings of liberty we have in America and the freedoms we take so for granted. I sent an excellent story around to our kids by e-mail yesterday. It came from a newspaper correspondent in Sydney Australia… who expressed one of the best understandings of where we come from as Americans and where we are headed – or at least aiming toward – that I’ve read in recent memory.

 

            You’ll be doing yourself and your family a huge amount of good by reading the Bible together – and meditating on the blessings we have here in America by God’s Amazing Grace.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

CHAFFEE CALLS PALIN “WACKO.”

Just A Minute – One of the best ways to determine character is to take note of a person’s enemies. By that standard Gov. Sarah Palin must be judged as having received a ringing endorsement from a certified, ten and a half-carat,  gold-plated RINO Republican from Rhode Island – Lincoln Chaffee.

For years about the only thing marking Chaffee as a Republican was his first name – Lincoln – which he said he inherited from the Civil War President -- Abraham. He took positions often at odds with his GOP brethren barely voting with the Republican caucus in organizing the Senate. Now that he’s left the party he’s come forth with his own assessment of Governor Palin saying she is (quote) "a cocky wacko” and that her selection as John McCain's running mate has “energized supporters of Democrat Barack Obama.” (unquote)

He’s reported to be a very handy man to have around horses. He studied horseshoeing at the University of Montana. His father was a Senator before him in fact Lincoln was appointed to fill his deceased father’s senate seat.
