More From Glenn …
It's a disgrace to let him speak let alone he be given an award…All the students that don't want obummer to speak should either stay home or turn your chairs around, that would be great. obummer making his speech to a mear 30 or 50 people, I would love to see that one….
I grew up and went to college in Saint Louis, Missouri. Via my participation in R.O.T.C., I was commissioned in 1961 and embarked on a 20-year Air Force career. I remember the day I was commissioned and swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution of these United States. In the interest of full disclosure I do not remember fully appreciating what I was promising at the age of not quite 21.
I met my future wife during my 2nd tour of duty at K.I. Sawyer AFB (1962) outside of Marquette, Michigan (the Upper Peninsula).
In 1967, I was in a "cushy" science/computer job at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. With the outbreak of the war in Vietnam, I just knew that I had to volunteer to go defend my country .. I felt driven .. it was no impulse, I assure you. I was angry at those that chose to flee America to escape the draft; and I chose to do the opposite by serving.
During the last duty assignment in 1979, I suffered a cerebral hemorrhage from which the doctors said I would never live, or if I lived, from which I would never fully recover. By the grace of Almighty God, I lived and fully recovered .. it was a true first-class miracle in every sense of the word.
I cannot explain it .. but I feel driven now, driven out of love of our country, to somehow be a voice, be a force, be something good to counter what I see going on in Washington, D.C.
Again, in the interest of full disclosure, I am certain that I definitely do not know what Our Blessed Lord wants this almost-69-year-old man to do, I really don't. Ole Saint Paul had it easy .. he was "knocked off his white horse" and told point-blank by the Real Boss what to do. But I do not .. so the best I can do is to just listen and see if I detect God's Whisper "John, I want you to do this .. .."
Thanks for listening everyone.

I believe the money changers are in the temple. In just about every way that you could imagine.
