A birthday trip to the river My old Arkansas friends Bill and Hillary Clinton, who might have been presidents again in four years if Mr. McCain were destined to win, probably aren’t too happy. And how in the world would us masculiminists deal with having a lady vice president, even if she did kill a moose!
Whoever becomes president, I am for him, and I hope God helps him to do what is best for our country, and give him the wisdom to see what that is, and make the right decisions when he needs to. But I won’t be voting because I believe in a party, or a person. I am going to the polls for those men who fought in the wars past to make this a free country where we all can vote. Remember them, and go vote, even if you don’t have much faith in the process any more. Like most of you, I don’t much like today’s politicians, not any of them. I can’t see any resemblance of any of them to honest men like Davy Crockett and Abe Lincoln. But I will be there for those men who lost their lives fighting to ensure we have the freedoms and rights we have as Americans. I think they are watching from somewhere, and that together with the founders of our country, men like Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and Washington, they will keep us on the right track, even when we veer off the right path every now and then. Some people believe that if millions of people fervently pray that our country gets back on the right track, God will, in his own time, make things work out right, as he so often has in the last two hundred plus years. Some country people have even hinted around that God is more powerful than the big city newspapers and the television networks that so vehemently oppose what He has so long told us is right. I think maybe they are right, and like I said, when the pendulum swings far enough one way, it gets swung back the other direction in time. Go vote, get a good night’s sleep and let a greater power take care of things. And be thankful you aren’t living in those huge cities where so many millions can’t escape what they are creating.
