Shameful R Us

Shameville

(by R.P.Edwards)

It's one thing

True

If weak

Are you

And words

Are all

You give

But those with might

Whose choice

Is flight

Then Shame

Is where

They live

If you are slack in the day of distress,
Your strength is limited.

(Proverbs 24:10)

In the news: A prayer vigil and awareness raiser concerning Pastor Saeed Abedini; an American imprisoned and mistreated for over two years in Iran for his Christian faith. Why so long? Because the Obama administration has chosen to not properly influence Tehran.

It's that simple.

I'll not belabor the point other than to say, American's knew what they were getting when they reelected President Obama. Our tepid and turncoat foreign doings are done with "our" majority-rules blessing and now, as the "more of the same" engines work their little tails off to keep the like-minded in the Congress I wonder; yes, I wonder if we'll ever have a different kind of leader...leading us. And yes, I still have hope for President Obama. But time...is running out.

Huckabee's looking good.

Huckabee 2016

Our need
(by R.P.Edwards)

I hunger for humble

I thirst for the true

I search for the seasoned

Not trending

Or new

I look for the leader

With scars on display

Not pretty

Or polished

Or phony in way

I listen for learning

From years in the ring

For wisdom unwhittled

By harlots and bling

I seek for the servant

Acquainted with prayer

 Who kneels
And then stands
For the battle
Prepared

Populist: an advocate of the rights and interests of ordinary people

So says my Encarta Dictionary; part of my aging 2003 Microsoft Word program.

Well, Mike Huckabee (former Governor of Arkansas) is described as thus...and it fits. 

I saw Mike's speech at CPAC (Conservateive Political Action Conference) and he deftly hit my (and many's) hot buttons: God, Life, Military, IRS (as in "get rid of!"), etc. Honestly, I like this guy; always have. I wonder, however, why his name rarely makes the cut when it comes to presidential hopefuls in 2016. True, he hasn't announced, but he is probing...and pondering. And, although I like the "field," if he were in the race...he's my obvious choice.
