Last week, at a local flea market, I was able to pick up a book originally priced at $10.95 for the amazing sale price of $.50 cents...
The book, LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS, by PEGGY NOONAN, best selling author and former speechwriter for Presidents Reagan and Bush (the elder), was copyrighted in 1994...and for that reason...
Could be analyzed for TRUTH AND WISDOM when tested against all the history that has transpired SINCE 1994...i.e. Clinton’s second term re election, ‘MONICA’ affair and subsequent impeachment, Al Gore/George W. Bush and ‘the hanging chads’, 911, Obama, Obamacare, economic crash of 2008, government bailouts, militant jihadism, government scandals @ I.R.S. and VETERANS AFFAIRS, and now I.S.I.S. and Ebola...not to mention aggression by Putin’s Russia in Crimea and The Ukraine...
Peggy Noonan, herself a lifelong practicing Catholic and single mom, has written in many publications including Vanity Fair, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, Mirabella, The New York Times and The Washington Post and has made frequent appearances on PBS and EWTN LIVE and lives in New York City...
A short excerpt from her book reveals some of her conservative wit and Christian wisdom, and serves as a testament to her lifelong Catholic Faith:
“...I also think this, narrow-minded person that I am: The great enemy on earth of the evil one is the Church, and what better time to infiltrate it than when it was at its most triumphant, in the past few decades when the Pope’s troops were day by day defeating Communism.” PEGGY NOONAN...1994
There are plenty of other interesting and accurate glimpses into the future that make interesting reading and debate, and prove OLD BOOKS DON’T LIE...although she predicted Clinton to be a ONE TERM PRESIDENT...
Notwithstanding, she saw that the 70’s and 80’s, decades in which, as a nation, we were throwing GOD OUT of our social and political lives, turned out to provide the SANDY SOIL upon which the foundation of our current Country’s problems may have been rooted...!!!
A VERY GOOD READ...!!!
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND PRAY BEFORE YOU VOTE...!!!
