Thank you. This is not a decision that I came to lightly, but I believe that it is best action for this country. And I want you two to know, that your understanding and support means the world to me. There are many wonderful people here on this board, but few that I respect as much as I do you. You both are national treasures.
Jeff, I know that it is not easy for good people like you to do something like this regardless of the end result. We are not 'the end justifies the means' kind of people. This is just such a rare moment that I believe that we must sieze it. It won't present itself again soon, if ever.
Now, if I were there in PA, my own way of arriving there would be along the lines of my post 275.
You are couragous in your stand...even if I would not go to the lengths you are going to go to...and even if others cannot see or grasp the seriousness of the situation from your perspective or the dangers of such a sapper within the gates as Specter. Just always try and temper your actions with the wisdom that speaks to your heart from above as you make this couragous stand.
Unfortunately, we are in a position politically within our country where there are very few clear and obvious paths. We are too far down the road as a nation in apathy, the culture of death, political correctness, self gratification and lasciviousness to allow for a clear view amidst all of the smoke and distraction.
But above it all, the clear view is still there, and there is One who holds that view at all times. The outcome will ultimately rest on our ability as individuals and as a people to get back to that perspective.
I beleive, after all of my travels and involvement in various activities that we shall. There are still enough good people in this nation who understand these principles that ultimately the Hand of Providence will support us...we just may have a very difficult row to hoe between now and then.
II Chron 7:14
IMHO, that scripture reference is a good tag to add to harpseal's Yorktown message.
Thank you, Ray. Your words are much appreciated, considering their source.
Good night, all. And thank you for a most interesting exchange of ideas on this thread today.
