We had very dear friends who we parted with during the last election. They were absolutely positive Pres. Bush wwas going to reinstate the draft. Nothing wqould convince them he wasn’t going to do so. We parted after a friendship of many years because politics just became too much of a wedge.
Anyway passed their house the other day and guess what. As expected they have Obama signs in the yard. I almost called them up to say “you must have changed your mind and are ok with a draft, because Obama is really going to do it.”
But I decided to let sleeping dogs lie.
Wise.
More and more, I am reminded of the Biblical "separating the wheat from the chaff"
Every year, it's more and more evident who walks on the light side of the street and who on the dark. The division is becoming stark.
It's sad, but the better part of wisdom to let the 'dark ones' go from our lives, for if the dark side wins, these people will turn on friend and family alike, will 'turn you in' - for the kind of treatment they have given "Joe the Plumber". The only reason he hasn't been sent off to some salt mine for retraining is because they AREN'T in power yet. We ARE all "Joe" and we need to cut the would-be Jack Booters from our close circles. We can't help them but they can hurt us.
