ARE YOU _SURE_ YOU WANT TO DO THIS? - Just A Minute radio for 03-27-09

            Howdy, on a Friday…

 

            This is the week in which Spring bowed in and trampled all over March’s exit reputation… The folks in the Upper Central Plains States sure would not certify that March “went out like a lamb.” I saw some of the Weather Channel reporters leaning in to a 35 mph gale force wind blowing snow the other night… and the reporter said another forty inches was expected.

 

            That was certainly unwelcome news to the folks in Bismark, N.D. where the flood level of the Red River was forecast to get up to 43 feet… That’s about three or four feet higher than the Corps of Engineers had predicted – and of course discouraging to the National Guard… the firefighters and the college students who I’m sure would much rather have been on Spring Break than filling and piling sand bags higher and higher… Problem is when you need to add another three feet to a dike… it’s not a matter of just piling up more sandbags.. there’s a pyramid structure that has to be followed or the levee will break.  Very discouraging… those folks need prayer.  Falling snow is beautiful – mostly – but when you already have an ice filled river… and piled up sandbags… you don’t welcome the sight of more snow falling on top of all that.

 

            Anyway… for some sections of the middle of the country it has been a wild Winter, indeed.

 

            Our economic storm is not abating – at least in any appreciable manner. Even my wife – who does not normally respond to my ‘crisis’ stories on the news – cited by politicos – is getting angry at the antics of those who are supposedly experts in economic matters. Reluctantly we come to the conclusion we are being deliberately manipulated leftward. And I sense determination rising to do something about it. Problem is like Don Quixote and Sancho Pansa – we’re liable to mount our horse and “ride off in every direction.”

 

            We are in dire need of wisdom… and for those who believe the Bible – we really know where that abounds.

 

            God bless you this weekend – and please remember to pray for us and our Nation.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM

“JUST A MINUTE”

ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DO THIS?

JUST A MINUTE – Yesterday Secretary Geithner, proposed a vast expansion of governmental power. He made it abundantly clear to both Democrats and Republicans on the House Finance Committee he wants government to be able to step in to contracts and businesses and see that what happened to create this crisis doesn’t  happen again. And he says he doesn’t want Treasury to have that power.

          Just a minute, do we really want a guy who couldn’t fill out his own taxes (no matter how brilliant the President *thought* he was) --- Do we really want him recommending a policy that can totally wreck our system and slide us right into Socialism – do we really want him steering the ship?

          Frankly, I can’t think of a more diabolical plan to crash our country and wreck our economy. I’m not masquerading as a trained economist – but even I can recognize a guy planning to drive us off the economic cliff so his misguided leader can pick up the pieces. I’ve resisted ringing the fire bell – but I’m clanging it now.
