Hello once again right in the middle of the week…
We’re looking at the political race for next year beginning to grow a *little* maturity. After all you don’t spend *all* your life growing up – but it appears that all the lessons that should be learned in earlier stages of ‘getting on top of things’ have been largely passed over – or under – and from here on out it’s going to be a down and dirty fight – it’s already taking on those aspects.
One glimmering light in the heavens is the conviction of
It is said that when one of the northern ‘carpet-baggers’ had been in South Carolina,-- raking off ill-gotten gains through abuse of the weakened governmental system and all the problems attendant upon the South being on the losing side, one of the South Carolina representatives stood up on the House Floor and said: “Boys, there’s still another 10 good years of stealin’ in South Carolina.” Which so infuriated the native southerners – it caused the formation of the Wade Hampton ‘Red Shirts’ and the rifle clubs etc. which gave the South its own bloody history for the next 30-40 years.
Those are dark spots on the American pages – that do not quickly fade out of sight. We are still suffering the residue of those unhappy days – and I suppose there are many books yet to be written (or kindled or ‘nooked’ or whatever’s in the offing for the printed past) before the past is no longer pro-logue in the South. We’ll just pray for the right mixture and leaders.
Cordially, IN HIM
Jack
