Editorial Comment: Hermann Candidate For Ward 2 Alderman Speaks Out On Issues

Published by Jimmy Oldsun, NDRIRSRWRAFTC & Editor

Patrick Layton Paulsen is a GREAT AMERICAN!  Although Pat ran unsuccessfully for President several times in the 60s and 70s, we still support the strong stand he took then and still takes on the issues of concern to all Americans.  Now, four decades later, Hermann Hearsay is supporting and endorsing Pat Paulsen in his bid to unseat incumbent Brian Chorley as Ward 2 Alderman of Hermann.

Paulsen has all the qualifications necessary to do a fine job for the people of Hermann.  Paulsen has no court record (that we can find) on http://www.case.net/.  I suppose it is possible that Mr. Paulsen, being a very shrewd and well-connected politician, has managed to have his court records expunged.  Mr. Paulsen is a wise man, and we have never known him to intentionally lie.  He does drink a little bit, but we are willing to overlook this one and ONLY character flaw!

Here is a tape of Pat Paulsen stating his position on three big national issues four decades ago.  Pat appeared on the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in 1967 and 1968, providing his editorial comments regarding Social Security, gun control and healthcare.  Pat's views haven't changed one bit since that time!



VOTE PAT PAULSEN FOR WARD 2 ALDERMAN OF HERMANN!  IF PAT CAN HANDLE THE BIG NATIONAL ISSUES, HE CAN CERTAINLY DEALWITH OUR POT HOLES AND BROKEN SEWER LINES!

Bible Verse Of The Day - Monday, 1/10/2011

Post:  1,432

But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children- with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. The LORD has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over all. – Psalm 103:17-19

To fear the Lord is to have a proper understanding of who God is, his power and ultimately his great love for us. The Psalmist here connects this understanding, this fear, with obedience to God’s Word. We have God’s love (and so will our children’s children!) when we are obedient to what he asks of us and commands us. It is interesting that the passage says we must “remember to obey”. We are so prone to forget! We can be thankful that, for those that are in Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit in our life now gives us the remembrance and the power to obey God’s commands and live fully in his love.

Post:  1,430

I am sorry to disappoint our loyal readers, but I'm taking the entire staff out of town this week.  We will be consulting with some aspiring young bloggers in Washington and Lake Saint Louis.  They are wanting to improve upon their content, modernize their platforms and monetize their blogs.  We think that we can help them out, so we're closing our own blog in order to meet with them.  We will be back on Monday afternoon.

In the meantime, I hope you will take this opporunity to visit Poor Richard 2011 at www.hermannmonews.blogspot.com.  He researches the big stories of the day and publishes links to them.  Local, state and national stories ..... you can find them all at Poor Richard's site.

Editorial Comment: Hermann Hearsay endorses whoever challenges incumbent Ward 2 Alderman, Brian Chorley.

Hermann Hearsay has decided to endorse whoever files against Brian Chorley for Ward 2 alderman in Hermann.  The filing deadline is January 18.  We are hopeful that some qualified resident of Ward 2 will step forward and offer their service before the filing deadline. 

After close consultation with several Hermann residents whose judgment we trust, we feel we cannot endorse the incumbent.

"Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In", sometimes incorrectly known as "The Age of Aquarius" or "Let the Sunshine In", is a medley of two songs from the musical Hair ("Aquarius" and "The Flesh Failures (Let The Sunshine In)") written by James Rado, Gerome Ragni and Galt MacDermot, and released as a single in 1969 by The Fifth Dimension. The single held the number one position on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks and was certified Platinum.

The Fifth Dimension, also known as The 5th Dimension, is an American popular music vocal group, whose repertoire also includes pop, R&B, soul, and jazz.

The Fifth Dimension were best-known during the late 1960s and early 1970s for popularizing the hits "Up, Up and Away" and "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In." The recording won the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Best Contemporary Vocal Performance by a Group at the Grammy Awards of 1970, after it was released on the album "The Age of Aquarius".

The song was based on the astrological belief that the world would be entering the Age of Aquarius, an age of love, light and humanity, unlike the then current Age of Pisces. This change was presumed to occur at the end of the 20th century.

"Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In" was ranked thirty-third on the 2004 AFI's 100 Years... 100 Songs.

The five original members were Billy Davis, Jr., Florence LaRue, Marilyn McCoo, Lamonte McLemore, and Ron Townson. They have recorded for several different labels over their long careers. Their first work appeared on the Soul City label, which was started by Imperial Records/United Artists Records recording artist Johnny Rivers. The group would later record for Bell/Arista Records ABC Records and Motown Records.

Some of the songwriters popularized by The Fifth Dimension later went on to careers of their own, especially Ashford & Simpson, who wrote "California Soul". The group is also notable for having more success with the songs of Laura Nyro than Nyro did herself, particularly in the cases of "Wedding Bell Blues", "Stoned Soul Picnic", and "Save the Country". The group also covered music by well known songwriters such as the song "One Less Bell to Answer" written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David.

Bible Verse Of The Day - Thursday, 1/6/2011

Post:  1,421

God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, riches or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, riches and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.” – 2 Chronicles 1:11-12

Solomon learned well from his father, David. When given the opportunity to ask for anything that he wanted, Solomon asked for the wisdom to be a servant of God and His people. It is when we don’t idolize success that God can give it to us, because success will not change who we primarily are. In desiring wisdom, Solomon was focusing on the tools that would allow him to handle his kingdom well. When we desire wisdom over achievement, we too set the stage for a richness of life. The good life can be easily mistaken as material gain, but we have a witness that God has a greater definition of what it means to live life to the fullest.
