Billy Graham couldn't have made your day today - he's dead.
Ghostly visit feels ?
That's why it made my day. Way over due.
Please elaborate on why his death made you glad. I could understand if it was Pelosi or Clinton but what does Graham stand for that makes you glad he is dead?

"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." – T.S. Eliot
"The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker
A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half. - Thomas Sowell
"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow...
For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." - Jeff Snyder
Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.
Billy Graham saved Louis from nightmares, extreme PTSD and alcoholism so he could start numerous troubled kid camps that helped hundreds or more kids find their way.
'Read'..... UnBroken. The movie fell short.
Zamperini was a frikken mess after being in those Japanese POW Camps.
Graham saved him from all his demons.
Believe it or not......Graham was not a bullshitter hypocrite like Sawggart or Bakker.

I can think of one Cabela`s gun counter that won`t get my business for a while. Not cool, man.
Yeah well, ya gotta admit. Unless you're informed the TV Evangelists have truly shit the bed in the "TRUST Me I'm your answer" venue.
Graham was different.
I'm not up on my TV god people..
Isn't he the guy that was like 'Adulterers are sinners, and will go to hell', then got caught cheating on his wife a week later? lol

Graham wouldn't be in any room alone with a lady...it was one of his rules.
Kinda like Reagan always wearing a suit in the Oval Office.
Doesn't impact me one way or another, but I hate HATE those fucking charlatans that use 'God' as a paycheck, try to sell holy water, do fake healing, and other shenanigans...
