SUPER CHRISTMAS ARTICLE---DAVID LIMBAUGH
Published on CNS News (http://cnsnews.com)
The Cross Was Preceded by the Cradle
December 23, 2014 - 4:57 AM
God became a man to save us from our sins, which he did finally and completely on the Cross. We commemorate his death and resurrection on Easter, but his suffering on our behalf began much earlier than that. We would do well to remember that at Christmastime, when we celebrate our savior's birth.
Seminary professor Bob Tuttle, in his 2006 book, "Shortening the Leap," puts that in perspective poignantly: "The Jesus of glory still bears the marks of the Incarnation, and not just in his hands, his side and his feet, but in his navel, because the suffering began in the manger, not on the Cross."
Tuttle continues: "All of the Incarnation was a passion narrative — cradle to grave. Mel Gibson's movie The Passion doesn't know the half of it. It hurts God to be squeezed into sperm and implanted in a mama."
Bishop Fulton Sheen, in his "Life of Christ," made this very point as he put Christ's incarnation in terms of a gripping metaphor. "It is hard for a human being to understand the humility that was involved in the Word becoming flesh," wrote Sheen. "Imagine, if it were possible, a human person divesting himself of his body, and then sending his soul into the body of a serpent. A double humiliation would follow: first, accepting the limitations of a serpentine organism, knowing all the while his mind was superior, and that fangs could not adequately articulate thoughts no serpent ever possessed.
"The second humiliation would be to be forced as a result of this 'emptying of self' to live in the companionship of serpents. But all this is nothing compared to the emptying of God, by which He took on the form of man and accepted the limitations of humanity, such as hunger and persecution; not trivial either was it for the Wisdom of God to condemn Himself to association with poor fishermen who knew so little. But this humiliation which began ... when He was conceived in the Virgin Mary was only the first of many to counteract the pride of man, until the final humiliation of death on the Cross."
These great theological thinkers don't make this stuff up. They're not fashioning their theology out of whole cloth. God's revealed Word tells the story.
The writer of Hebrews explains: "Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted."
The Apostle Paul, in his letter to the Philippians, describes it this way: "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross."
I think we sometimes forget to emphasize sufficiently that Christ's selfless, substitutionary death on the Cross so that we could live was preceded by his 30-plus years on this planet as a human being, suffering all the indignities of humanity so that he could fully experience, literally in the flesh, what we created mortals experience — and far worse. (His separation from the Father and his acceptance of God's wrath for all of our past, present and future sins were greater suffering than we could imagine, well beyond anything any of us will ever experience.)
Our God is personal and relational. He created us in his image to enjoy fellowship with him and with one another. Our omniscient Creator doesn't merely understand our suffering intellectually. He doesn't just comprehend our human relationships by way of analogy in the sense that he has always enjoyed fellowship within the Holy Trinity.
Jesus Christ became and remains not just the Deity but a human being who has related to us and continues to relate to us not just as our God but also as a person.
Among the unspeakable marvels of God is that though he is utterly beyond our comprehension — his perfection, his infinity and his wisdom are unfathomable to us — he is also wholly accessible to us. He not only is available but invites us to have a personal relationship with him.
Because he loves us, he died on the Cross for us. But never forget that years before he completed his work on the Cross, he was born for us — as a little, dependent baby in his earthly mother's arms — in Bethlehem.
It is the event of his birth that we celebrate at Christmas, without which there would have been no Cross, without which there would be no life everlasting for us.
Merry Christmas to all.

OUR 2014 CHRISTMAS LETTER !!!
Dear Family
& Friends
Each year we
receive Christmas letters that chronicle the family highlights of the past
year. The time is right for us to return the favor. Here goes:
- First Things First: Shawnee is a mid-size, growing, and ecologically sensitive community. For example---Our mayor had an ordinance passed aimed at cleaning up the city---All carjackers, muggers, and gangbangers are now required to shave.
- How Lucky Can One Family Be ?---This year we won a free cruise---To The Bermuda Triangle. Also, we were selected to be inflight extras on the remake of---Snakes On A Plane. Finally, we were selected as EPA Citizens of the Year. We were awarded our own island---Three Mile Island.
- It Can Get Windy On The Prairie---In addition to tornados we get some big straight line winds. This Spring it was so windy Superman was walking. A lady who lives on a farm told me the wind was so strong that one of her “layin’ hens” laid the same egg twice!
- Personal Achievements: Bought a million dollar life insurance policy for $89.47 from the Acme Insurance and Barn Painting Company. Invited to address the Million Mime March. Got in on the opening of a sequin mine in Las Vegas for $.17 per share. I went big and bought 100 shares. Chosen to be the Grand Marshall of the 1st Annual All Girl Harmonica Band Marching Parade.
- Achievements of Grandchildren: Grandson won first place in a school science fair contest. His prize was a “Do It Yourself Atomic Bomb Kit”. The line below a big mushroom cloud on the box cover read “Be the first kid in your block to be the only kid in your block!” Granddaughter placed second in the “Why Barbie Inspires Young Girls” theme contest. She received the entire New Realistic Barbie Collection. After she went to bed, Ken and Barbie climbed out of the second story bedroom window, went to town and got high and came home after 4:30am. Our granddaughter tried to ground Barbie; however, she grabbed a few clothes and went out on the lawn, woke Ken up, caught a cab, and headed to LA. Goodbye Inspiration!
As you can
see, 2014 was an especially good year for us.

LOVE THE SECOND TIME AROUND !
RAYMOND LAY FLAT OF HIS BACK STARING AT THE CEILING. RAYMOND HAD NEVER BEEN IN BED WITH ANY WOMAN OTHER THAN HIS LATE WIFE, BETH.
THE CRISP 600 COUNT SHEETS GAVE A MAGICAL CLEAN, CONFIDENT FEELING T0 RAYMOND. HIS NEW BRIDE , MARGARET, WAS STILL IN THE MOTEL HONEYMOON SUITE BATHROOM PREPARING TO JOIN RAYMOND IN THE SUPER KING SIZE, HEART-SHAPED BED.
MARGARET EMERGED FROM THE BATHROOM AND QUICKLY TURNED THE LIGHTS OFF AND WITHOUT COMMENT LAY ABOUT TWO FEET FROM HER 57 YEAR OLD SECOND HUSBAND.
RAYMOND CONTINUED TO NOT MOVE HIS HEAD; HOWEVER, HE SLOWLY INCHED HIS LEFT HAND TOWARD THE 49 YEAR RICH WIDOW.
THE SLOW, UNANNOUNCED MOVEMENT OF HIS HAND PERMITTED RAYMOND TO REFLECT UPON THEIR WHIRL WIND ROMANCE THAT SHOCKED THEIR CHILDREN, OTHER RELATIVES, AND WORK ASSOCIATES OF BOTH THE BRIDE AND GROOM.
HIS STEALTHY HAND ADVANCE WAS STOPPED BY MARGARET'S RIGHT HAND. SHE PUSHED HIS HAND BACK TO HIS LEFT SIDE. RAYMOND WAS MORE THAN A LITTLE UPSET BY HER REJECTION OF HIS WELL INTENDED LOVING ADVANCES.
BOTH LAY SILENT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. MARGARET SPOKE FIRST AND SAID, "RAY HONEY, AREN'T YOU GOING TO KISS YOUR SUGAR MOMMY GOOD NIGHT?"
RAYMOND SWALLOWED HARD (AFTER ALL SHE HAD 4 MILLION DOLLARS) AND ROLLED TO HER AND STARTED TO KISS HER WHEN HE WAS STUNNED BY HER GREENISH-BROWN MUD FACIAL AND SLICED CUCUMBERS ON EACH CLOSED EYE!
WHEN RAYMOND SAW THIS SCARY FACIAL HE RETREATED TO HIS ORIGINAL POSITION. THIS CAUSED MARGARET TO ALMOST DEMAND, "RAY HONEY, AT LEAST TELL ME GOODNIGHT."
RAYMOND DID NOT HESITATE, "GOODNIGHT SWAMP !!!!"

A SINGLE FAMILY CAN POLUTE A CITY OR PLANET
ON A FAR AWAY, BACKWARD PLANET WHICH WAS PLAGUED WITH CHRONIC UNEMPLOYMENT AND ASSOCIATED SOCIAL PROBLEMS THERE LIVED MANY UNHAPPY PEOPLE.
ONE SUCH MALCONTENTED FAMILY POOLED ALL OF THEIR RESOURCES AND BOUGHT A USED ROCKETSHIP AND TRAVELED TO THE CLOSEST NEIGHBORING PLANET.
THEY LOCATED ON THE NEW PLANET IN A COMMUNITY ALREADY SETTLED BY A FEW FAMILIES FROM THEIR OLD PLANET.
INSTEAD OF LAUNCHING THEIR NEW LIFE WITH HARD WORK AND COOPERATION, THEY SOUGHT WAYS TO STEAL AND HOODWINK THEIR NEW NEIGHBORS.
AS THEIR FAMILY RAPIDLY GREW SO TOO DID THEIR REPUTATION FOR EVIL AND WICKED BEHAVIOR.
SOON THEIR FAMILY NAME BECAME A BYWORD FOR SHORTCUTS, BRIBES, FIGHTS, AND DRUNKNESS.
THEIR REPUTATION BECAME SO BAD THAT SOME MEMBERS OF THIS BAD FAMILY LIED ABOUT THEIR ANCESTRY.
AFTER MANY DECADES, OTHER FAMILIES FROM THE OLD PLANET CAME TO THE NEW PLANET AND SOUGHT TO CORRECT A VERY BAD SITUATION.

WHAT A DIFFERENCE A SINGLE LETTER MAKES
IN GOVERNMENT 101 AT PURDUE UNIVERSITY IN THE FALL OF 1959 OUR YOUNG PROF SAID AT THE OUTSET HE WANTED US TO BE SURE WE SPELLED WORDS CORRECTLY.
AS AN EXAMPLE HE POINTED OUT THE OMISSION OF JUST ONE LETTER IN "PUBLIC" CHANGED THE MEANING COMPLETELY. I FOUND IT STRANGE THAT THE SORORITY GIRLS WHO ALWAYS SAT UP FRONT SEEMED TO GET THE JOKE FIRST. MOST OF US BACK ROW COUNTRY BOYS WERE EITHER TOO DUMB OR TOO EMBARRASSED TO LAUGH.
BY THE WAY, THE PROF WOUND UP DATING ONE OF THE POOR LITTLE GIRLS WHO SAT UP FRONT. SHE WAS A BEAUTY CONTEST WINNER. HER BLONDE BEAUTY WAS SIMPLY ELECTRIC. OF COURSE AT 18, IT DIDN'T TAKE TOO MUCH TO IMPRESS ME! BACK THEN, GIRLS COULD NOT WEAR JEANS OR SLACKS TO CLASS. SHE HAD CLOTHES THAT SHE WORE WELL---VERY WELL !
COUPLE MORE COMMENTS ON GOV 101. I GOT A "D" ON THE FIRST ESSAY EXAM WITH A NOTE THAT I WAS ON THE VERGE OF FLUNKING THE COURSE. SOMETHING INSIDE SAID I COULD DO MORE THAN FLUNK AND GOT WITH AND GOT"A's" ON THE REMAINDER OF THE COURSE AND AN "A" FOR THE COURSE. THIS WAS MAYBE MY GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT AT PURDUE.
THIS GUY WAS A KOREAN WAR VET. HIS HAIR WAS SNOW WHITE AND HE WAS ABOUT 28 YEARS OLD. SEEMS IT WENT WHITE WHILE COMMANDING AN ARMY COMPANY IN KOREA.
HIS OUTSIDE OF CLASS PASSION---BEYOND GIRLS---WAS BOXING. HE WAS A WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PROFESSIONAL BOXING TRIVIA.

HICKS, HAYSEEDS, & HILLBILLIES---I LOVE 'EM ALL! v 2.0
Added: The title of this Post is how I was treated---not how I view the real hard workers!
I HAVE THE GREATEST OF RESPECT FOR MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE CHAPPED HANDS AND SUNBURNED NECKS. THESE FOLKS BUILT AMERICA AND KEEP IT RUNNING.
MOST PEOPLE WITH MANUAL SKILLS ARE WILLING AND EAGER TO EXPLAIN THE WORKINGS OF THEIR TRADE IN TERMS EVEN AN OLD MAN LIKE ME CAN UNDERSTAND. VERY FEW HAVE EVER TRIED TO SNOW ME WITH HOW MUCH THEY KNOW.
SADLY, THAT DOES NOT HOLD TRUE FOR THE WHITE SHIRTS AND TIES CROWD. RECENTLY, A SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF A LARGE REGIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTION CALLED ME AND EARLY ON HE STRESSED HE KNEW MORE ABOUT MY PROBLEM THAN I DID.
AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES THE "SHIRT" ACKNOWLEDGED THE INSTITUTION, NOT ME, WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. HE FINALLY THANKED ME FOR DISCOVERING A MAJOR FLAW IN THEIR OPERATING PROCEDURES.
BEING TWO DOWN, MR. VICE PRESIDENT PROCEEDED TO TELL ME HOW HE HAD ALL OF HIS BILLS PAID OUT OF HIS ACCOUNT EACH MONTH. I MENTIONED THE SMALL AMOUNT OF MY INCOME, THREE GRANDKIDS WE ARE RAISING, AND A SEMI-INVALID WIFE WHO TAKES A TON OF MEDICINE. HE STOPPED REFERRING TO HIS LARGE POSITION.
HE DID AUTHORIZE A SMALL, I MEAN SMALL, GIFT CARD FOR ALL OF THE PROBLEMS HIS OUTFIT HAD CAUSED ME.
I DO NOT RESPOND WELL TO SHIRTS WHO TRY TO IMPRESS ME.
IN CLOSING, HE SAID HE WOULD NOT BE IN HIS OFFICE BETWEEN 11AM-1PM. I SAID THAT I HOPED HE HAD SOMETHING GOOD TO EAT! SILENCE FOLLOWED. I REMARKED THAT I KNEW HOW THINGS WORKED. HE WANTED TO IMPRESS ME WITH THE FACT HE COULD TAKE A TWO HOUR LUNCH! RANCHERS, OIL PATCH WORKERS, CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ARE AMONG THE MANY WHO ARE LUCKY TO GET A 15 MINUTE LUNCH!
OVER THE YEARS, IN THE USAF, BUSINESS, AND 30 PLUS YEARS OF CHURCH WORK. I HAVE SEEN MANY ROCKETS GO UP HIGH AND FAST AND COME DOWN WITH EQUAL SPEED !!!!

I DO NOT RESPOND WELL TO SHIRTS WHO TRY TO IMPRESS ME.
IN CLOSING, HE SAID HE WOULD NOT BE IN HIS OFFICE BETWEEN 11AM-1PM. I SAID THAT I HOPED HE HAD SOMETHING GOOD TO EAT! SILENCE FOLLOWED. I REMARKED THAT I KNEW HOW THINGS WORKED. HE WANTED TO IMPRESS ME WITH THE FACT HE COULD TAKE A TWO HOUR LUNCH! RANCHERS, OIL PATCH WORKERS, CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ARE AMONG THE MANY WHO ARE LUCKY TO GET A 15 MINUTE LUNCH!
OVER THE YEARS, IN THE USAF, BUSINESS, AND 30 PLUS YEARS OF CHURCH WORK. I HAVE SEEN MANY ROCKETS GO UP HIGH AND FAST AND COME DOWN WITH EQUAL SPEED !!!!

HIS LAST LETTER
BY ELLA WILCOX
Well, you are free;
The longed-for, lied-for, waited-for decree
Is yours to-day.
I made no protest--and you had your say,
And left me with no vestige of repute.
"Neglect, abuse, and cruelty" you charge,
With broken marriage-vows. The list was large,
But not to be denied. So I was mute.
The longed-for, lied-for, waited-for decree
Is yours to-day.
I made no protest--and you had your say,
And left me with no vestige of repute.
"Neglect, abuse, and cruelty" you charge,
With broken marriage-vows. The list was large,
But not to be denied. So I was mute.
Now you shall listen to a few plain facts
Before you go out wholly from my life
As some man's wife.
Read carefully this statement of your acts
Which changed the luster of my honeymoon
To somber gloom,
And wrenched the cover from Pandora's box.
Before you go out wholly from my life
As some man's wife.
Read carefully this statement of your acts
Which changed the luster of my honeymoon
To somber gloom,
And wrenched the cover from Pandora's box.
In those first talks
'Twixt bride and groom, I showed you my whole heart;
Showed you how deep my love was and how true;
With all a strong man's feeling I loved you.
(God, how I loved you, my own chosen mate!)
But I learned this
(So poorly did you play your little part):
You married marriage--to avoid the fate
Of having "Miss"
Carved on your tombstone. Love you did not know;
But you were greedy for the showy things
That money brings.
Such weak affection as you could bestow
Was given the provider, not the lover.

Carved on your tombstone. Love you did not know;
But you were greedy for the showy things
That money brings.
Such weak affection as you could bestow
Was given the provider, not the lover.
The knowledge hurt. Keen pain like that is dumb
And masks itself in smiles, lest men discover.
But I was lonely, and the feeling grew
The more I studied you.
Into your shallow heart love could not come;
But yet you loved my love, because it gave
The prowess of a mistress o'er a slave.
You showed your power
In petty tyranny, hour after hour,
Day after day, year after lengthening year;
My tasks, my pleasures, my pursuits were not
Held near or dear,
Or made to seem important in your thought.
My friends were not your friends; you goaded me
By foolish and ignoble jealousy.
Till, through suggestion's laws,
I gave you cause.
The beauteous ideal love had hung
In my soul's shrine,
And worshiped as a something all divine,
With wanton hand you flung
Into the dust. And then you wondered why
My love should die.
And masks itself in smiles, lest men discover.

My sins and derelictions cry aloud
To all the world. My head is bowed
Under its merited reproaches. Yours
Is lifted to receive
The sympathy the court's decree insures.
The world loves to believe
In Man's depravity and Woman's worth;
But I am one of many men on earth
Whose loud, resounding fall
Is like the crashing of some well-built wall,
Which those who seek can trace
To the slow work of insects at its base.

Be not afraid;
The alimony will be promptly paid.

ELEANOR POWELL--GINGER'S EQUAL !!! V 2.0
OK , I AM CRAZY ABOUT TAP DANCERS FROM THE GREAT MOVIE MUSICALS !
GINGER GETS THE MOST RAVES. WELL DESERVED. BUT ELEANOR POWELL IS VERY SPECIAL. SEE THE FOLLOWING YOU TUBE LINK.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veNXiv4kP-c&list=RDveNXiv4kP-c
ELEANOR WAS BY FAR MORE ATHLETIC THAN GINGER. GIVE GINGER A SLIGHT EDGE ON FIGURE. ELEANOR HAD A STAGE PRESENCE THAT GINGER NEVER CAPTURED. ELEANOR SMILE TEN TIMES MORE THAN GINGER. ELEANOR DID MANY SOLO DANCE ROUTINES.
MAYBE IT WAS ELEANOR'S ENERGY, DRIVE, AND SPEAKING EDGE THAT CAUSES ME TO RATE THE TWO AS EQUAL. MAN, COULD SHE EVER TAP DANCE!
GINGER HAD THE BALLET GRACE ELEANOR SEEMED TO LACK.
HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE TO HAVE THE BEST DANCERS IN ALL THE WORLD TO SEE ON FILM AND THE INTERNET.

TREASURE INQUIRIES
UPDATE: PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT INQUIRE ABOUT THE RUMORED SILVER TREASURE. IT IS MOST LIKELY A PRANK OR JOKE.
I HAVE REMOVED THE POST.
GLENN <><
JUST WEST OF YESTERDAY
VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE: I HAVE RECEIVED INFO THAT THE SILVER MENTIONED IN THIS POST, AND ELSEWHERE, MAY HAVE A CONFEDERATE STATE CONNECTION.
THREE PCHS STUDENTS WERE EXPLORING A WOODED AREA DURING A SUMMER BREAK. THEY ENCOUNTERED A MOUNDED AREA THAT WAS RATHER NARROW AND ABOUT 2-3 FEET HIGH.
THEIR FIRST IMPULSE WAS TO DIG RIGHT IN AND SEE WHAT WAS INSIDE. IT WAS EVIDENT THE MOUND WAS LOCATED ON WHAT WAS OTHERWISE FLAT GROUND IN THE FORREST FLOOR.
WHEN THEY QUIETED THEIR TALKING THEY HEARD A DISTINCT LOW FREQUENCY HUMMING. AT FIRST IT SOUNDED LIKE A HORNET'S NEXT. HOWEVER, IT WAS MUCH LOWER IN FREQUENCY THAN ANY BEE'S NEST THEY HAD EVER HEARD.
THE SOUND SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM THE MOUND. BUT WHAT WAS IT? REMEMBER THIS WAS YEARS BEFORE INDIANA JONES. NONETHELESS, THE PREVIOUSLY BRAVE TRIO OF TEENAGERS DECIDED TO LEAVE.
I WAS ONE OF THE TRIO. I CANNOT DISCLOSE THE IDENTITY OF THE OTHER TWO---DITTO ON THE MOUND'S LOCATION. (WAS IT THE MUCH RUMORED SILVER TREASURE? DOES INDIANA HAVE AN OAK ISLAND?)
PART OF THE UPDATE: I LOVE GETTING E-MAILS AND PHONE CALLS FROM READERS OF THIS BLOG. HOWEVER, I ASK THAT NO ONE CONTACT ME ABOUT THE LOCATION OF THE MOUND OR TRIO MEMBERS---AN OLD MAN MUST MAINTAIN A FEW SECRETS!

SMOKE CAUSES ME BAD RECOLLECTION
LOUISVILLE
BLAZE EVOKES BAD MEMORIES FOR ME !
THE LIBERTY TIRE RECYCLING FIRE IN LOUISVILLE, KY REMINDED
ME OF A PAINFUL INCIDENT IN MY PAST.
I WAS A PARTICIPANT IN A FIRE NEAR MCKINNEY, KY OVER 60
YEARS AGO. “MY COUSIN AND I CARRIED
TRASH TO A SMOLDERING FIRE BEHIND OUR GRANDPARENTS’ HOUSE. WE PLACED AN OLD
TIRE ON THE TRASH FIRE AND WITHIN SECONDS THICK BLACK SMOKE BILLOWED
HEAVENWARD. MY COUSIN AND I PLACED OUR SHIRTS OVER OUR HEADS AND PRETENDED TO
BE FIREFIGHTERS. WE WOULD RUN THROUGH THE SMOKE WITH SHOUTS OF EXCITEMENT.”
ENTER MY COUSIN’S FATHER WHO NEARLY PULLED MY 12 YEAR OLD ARM
OUT OF SOCKET. HE YELLED AT ME, “THAT SMOKE IS THICK ENOUGH TO MAKE A WELL MAN
SICK MUCH LESS ONE WITH THE ASTHMA!” HE CONTINUED TO GLARE AND YELL AT ME AND
NEVER ONCE SAID ANYTHING TO HIS ASTHMATIC, AND EQUALLY GUILTY, SON.
SOMETIMES THE EVENTS OF OVER HALF A CENTURY AGO COME BACK
WITH PAINFUL SPEED. THE LIBERTY TIRE FIRE SCRAPED THE SCAB OFF OF ONE OF
MY WORST CHILDHOOD MEMORIES.

IS THIS A GREAT COUNTRY OR WHAT ?
Letters To
Editor (Sent to Daily Oklahoman Newspaper 11-6-14)
It took me
awhile in graduate school to grasp the constant mantra of my major professor:
“In life, process is often content.”
Roughly
translated---The way things are done is just as important as what is done.
Tuesday’s election is Exhibit “A” of this profound truth. Yesterday, Americans
cast ballots but no stones. Many politicians were fired but no AK-47’s.
The
Founders’ Constitutional process is the enduring victor in every election.
American heroes from Valley Forge to Fallujah have proudly defended this
priceless process. Our peaceful voting process impacts the entire content of
our lives.
Is this a
great country or what?

HARDCORE, UNREPENTANT COLD WARRIOR
THIS APPEARED IN THE SHAWNEE NEWS-STAR: (11-4-14)
Letters to the Editor
Up Front: I am a hardcore, unrepentant, Cold Warrior. My
confession notwithstanding, the Russian Air Force is engaged in a provocative
and very dangerous game of international chicken. Media reports that in 2014
over 100 flights of Russia bombers have probed the airspace of NATO
countries.
What is even more alarming than the three fold increase over
last year is the bombers are operating several thousand miles from the Russian
border. To accomplish this new mission, fighters and refueling aircraft are
accompanying the bombers. These cat and mouse probes have skirted several NATO
countries, as far south as Portugal. Add to this long range “total package”
mission is the bombers have not filed the necessary international flight plans
and they are flying with the aircraft identifiers turned off.
The potential for an accidental shoot down is within “the
pucker factor” range of probability. If NATO is to effectively respond to these
challenges, there must be a major increase in NATO resources---Translated: US
defense spending.
The talking heads on TV tell us the probing flights and the invasion
of the Ukraine is playing well with the Russian people who long for Russia to
regain international super power status. The mix of strengthened Russian
nationalism and massive cuts in US defense spending does not bode well for our
national security.
