America’s Mountain Top Moment
The Republic of T. — Editor’s Note: Since it takes me more than two days to find any time to write anything of any kind of substance, and since I don’t see the point in writing a four paragraph post that can be read just about anywhere on the web, I’ve decided that any post I don’t finish within the same twenty-four hours that I start it will simply be published as an unfinished post. If only so that I can get something published while it’s still remotely relevant. At this rate, if I were to finish this one and write it the way I want it to be, it’d be next week before it saw the light of day. Unless I give up sleeping. ...

Terrance Heath: America's Mountaintop Moment
Politics on HuffingtonPost.com — "Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn't matter with me now. Because I've been to the mountaintop. And I don't mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people will get to the promised land. And I'm happy, tonight. I'm not worried about anything. I'm not fearing any man. Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord." ...
