so this is your fault, just kidding..........kind of

​@@allenolivieri1773😂 true kinda 😂

You used to laugh at him? In 1976, the election where Jimmy Carter was elected, my class of a tiny little Texas town, elected Paul Harvey for President. He was awesome.

and now; the rest of the story...

It was happening then, just on a much smaller scale

No, he's just referencing those people who look to the Federal government to fix everything, and by doing so, empower it to grow beyond it's previous, until it's in our lives always, it's become a monster that chews up citizens and spits them out.

@@piperp9535your statement is true but did he not say it was the elderly who would pray these words? That give me the impression of people relying on the government into retirement. Not disagreeing with your overall assessment at all.

@@DWmaniac4n6 He said many things, this piece was only one. I used to catch his show on the radio every day driving home from school. Mostly it was simple entertainment, "The rest of the story", was usually very informative and delivered exceedingly well. But he influenced two generations at least. I doubt everyone is as fond of his work as I am. But I also know there are many that are. Paul Harvey certainly seemed like a good man, and a person could do worse than to set him as one to emulate. The problem with this particular work, is that while it was intended as a warning, it may have been used as a road map. Ask yourself a question, and figure the odds. Which is more likely? A: That Paul Harvey was a savant and could see the future so accurately? or B: That see saw a future, one that could be possible, one that perhaps China, Russia? One that others said "looks good to me", "I think it'll get the job done", let's work to bring all this about.

@@piperp9535 I agree, I loved hearing him on the radio. I wish I could hear "the rest of the story" segments again on cd or something they were really captivating to me. I can see how someone could use it as a roadmap as you say. I do believe that there were already well established groups in the US working in that direction well before this broadcast. I can't say how much he knew, but it seems that he had an idea what direction we were aimed.

The rest of the story !!!

i know...... but i changed it up a bit to reflect on the "end" of things as we know it coming to an end. @@jimmyanderson2988

At least they knew the difference between right and wrong and what a boy and a girl was back then !!!!! But like he said the devil would get worst and has !!!! The battle between good and evil has always existed regardless of what name it’s called !!!! But it does fit like the man said !!!!!
