"America's Greatest Living Legend" 
Written by, Cheryl Harwell Bailey

Here we were standing in the longest line I had ever experienced,
 when the people next to us introduced themselves. 
They were a big group of "Dead Heads," from San Francisco. 
"I'm tellin' ya man, I can't wait to hear this dude. 
This makes my 5th time."

 This line contained a composite of every sub-culture in California, the United States, and indeed the world. 
The famous & the common, the rich & the poor, the good & the bad.

The "Man" they wanted to hear & see is a great example. 
He is "Apple Pie." He is "Made in America."
 He is "John Wayne." He is "A Golden Retriever." 
He is "The World Series."
 He is everything good about our country & world.



So at 93 years old, just weeks after getting out of the hospital, do I hear all this "Billy Bashing?"
 A man who rarely gives his opinion on political issues, 
who has given us all so much.
 It makes my heart hurt.

 "How dare he say such an unheard of bigoted statement. Who in the world does he think he is? 
Where does he come up with this stuff?" ...

If "freedom of speech" can't be exercised, by Billy Graham,  liberty is in trouble.

 Yes! we have really "evolved!"
 We know more than God, The Bible, and Billy Graham.
