JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: A FEW REFLECTIONS ON THE DEATH OF REVEREND BILLY GRAHAM



COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY MATTHEW AVERY SUTTON IN THE GUARDIAN


“Billy Graham was on the wrong side of history”

He certainly was, and in more than a few areas.

The guy literally fawned over Richard Nixon, one of America's most hated presidents.

And at a time of the horrible, immoral Vietnam War.

He loved being in the limelight, contrary to his act of Christian humility.

His son Franklin "inherited" Billy's money-machine ministry.

Franklin literally has the intellectual and emotional level of Dan Quayle or George Bush.

Franklin is known for giving automatic handguns as gifts to friends.

He also once used a machine gun to cut a tree in half.

When 9/11 happened, charming Franklin actually made a big showy, emotion-laden public prayer, I believe it was in Washington, for America to use atomic weapons on Afghanistan.

He almost defines "white trash," although rich (thanks to daddy) white trash, like Trump.

Great genes, that 'devout" family.
