Billy Graham made an announcement 2 days ago. He said he was not going to get into politics, nor would he answer any questions on social issues that he would have answered 20 years ago.

All he wanted to do, he said, was preach the message that God loves you, and that Jesus Christ died for you to pay a penalty for your sins and mine.

Then, Rev. Graham shows up with Bill Clinton, and essentially endorses Hillary for President in 2008.

I am stunned.

Didn't one or more of the Bushes recently do pretty much the same thing? I wonder if Graham is close to McCain, who may be Hillary's opponent?

Not to excuse his poor choice of company, but I didn't read this as Graham's endorsement for Hillary 2008.

I chalk it up to Grahams frail age and quite frankly at his age he's not about to spit fire from the pulpit. He's paid his dues and am certain he wishes to collect his reward at the pearly gates. Know whatta I mean Vern?

So, what's more disheartening?

That Graham would end his public ministry so appallingly, harmfully, and shamefully?

Or that all these FReepers would rally to defend and excuse him for doing so?

Reminder: Biblically, greater privilege/prominence = greater responsibility, not the reverse.
