IMHO Ollie North deserves the Medal of Freedom and I predict George W. Bush will recommend him for one, as well as one of his best friend Sean Hannity.
I don't find Sean Hannity's radio or TV shows very thought provoking, but Sean has shown himself to be one of the most relentless warriors for the things he believes in. Nobody on the radio or TV campaigned for George W. Bush than Sean did. Nobody did a better job fighting for Terri Schiavo, and nobody hammered John Kerry like Sean did.
As much as I find Sean kind of boring to listen to, I have to give him credit for confronting any and all Liberals who will come on his shows.
Ollie North and Sean Hannity make a great team.
You shall cross the barren desert
But you shall not die of thirst.
You shall wander far in safety
Though you do not know the way.
You shall speak your words to foreign men
And they will understand.
You shall see the face of God and live.
Chorus:
Be not afraid, I go before you always,
Come follow me, and I will give you rest.
If you pass thru' raging waters in the sea
You shall not drown.
If you walk amid the burning flames,
You shall not be harmed.
If you stand before the pow'r of hell
And death is at your side,
Know that I am with you - through it all.
(Chorus)
Blesses are the poor
for the Kingdom shall be theirs.
Blest are you that weep and mourn,
For one day you shall laugh.
And if wicked men insult and hate you all because of me,
Blessed - blessed - are you!
(Chorus)
Thanks for posting this article...I admire Oliver North and this is a wonderful article from him about the Pope...Oliver touches on the matter of the Pope escaping the assassins bullet in 1981...what happened years later, is what touched my husband concerning the Pope...
That scene where the Pope is with his would be assassin, in prison...where I believe the Pope is holding that mans head on his shoulder and the Pope forgives him...that scene has always moved my big strong husband to near tears...
From that scene, he sees in the Pope, a man truly blessed by God, a man who can, with true love, forgive the man who tried to kill him...that is something few of us would be able to do...
Good post. Thanks
I am not Catholic. But I have nothing but the highest respect and esteem for Pope John Paul II, and his extraordinary life of service to mankind. Thanks for posting this article!
Ollie must have seen my tagline...
I LOVE OLLIE NORTH!!!!!!!!!
What a beautiful tribute to our Holy Father. It made me teary eyed.
