PAUL HARVEY'S ON AIR PRAYER
So everybody on Welfare is lazy.. Here's another E-mail that's going around now..

..........................



PAUL HARVEY'S ON AIR PRAYER

"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to
seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who
call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.
We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and
called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have
killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it
justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building
self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our
neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with
profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have
ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it
enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from
every sin and Set us free. Amen!"

Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, "The Rest
of the Story," and received a larger response to this program than any other he
has ever aired. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and
wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called "One nation
under God."

If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends. "If you don't
stand for something, you will fall for everything."

Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on your e-mail
list, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world. (It's worth a try!)

One Nation Under God

God Bless America


Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

1. I guess posting is better than spam
But you don't have to perpetuate inaccuracy when Snopes is around.

Short version: A Kansas minister wrote it and addressed it to the state legislature. Paul Harvey supposedly aired it on "The Rest of the Story," 10 years ago. He didn't write it, and it happened a long time ago.

2. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom
By Bush in 2005, need more be said? Oh Paul likes horses, I mean REALLY likes horses. And that time he was arreseted for stealing barbed wire fencing was totally out out character. Wonder if he still has any copies of "The Clinton Chronicles Around."? All truth all the time my ass.

6. First off it is now called TANF and it only makes up 1% of the Fed. budget
Temporary Assistance to Needy Families TANF

Without a long explanation of this TANF spending is 1% of the Federal SPENDING (not just the budget) so this is yet another example of directing attention at the ones getting crumbs while the ones who emptied the treasury get away scot free. Also it is a matter of turning middle class hatred towards the poor so as to keep all of them from coming up the hill.

See my sig line.
