In recent years, I kept noticing I'd been had by oh-so-many stories that, I came to realize, had been put out by the left, that were out-and-out wrong. I'm not surprised to find I'd been had by what was said about Joe McCarthy.

p>I did have one beef with M. Stanton Evans's book. It's been so long since it all happened, and so much has happened since, that for the kind-of younger crowd like me who didn't live through it, it's hard to figure out just who's who in the book. One subject is identified as a "professor," but the name given is that of a famous astronomer...I was not sure they were one and the same (the name is as odd as my own), and going over the text carefully left me wondering if I had missed something. br> -- Robert Nowall br> Cape Coral, Florida /p> p> CHUCK'S INQUISITION br> Re: Bob Emrich's Snake in the Grassley : /p>

My thanks to Rev. Bob Emrich for his article. Rev. Emrich expresses genuine Christian concern about the Senate Finance Committee's letter to and apparent interest in the wealth of Kenneth Copeland, Benny Hinn, Creflo Dollar, and three other so-called "Christian ministers." I too dislike any precedent that bolsters the humanistic, secularist god-State in man's rebellion against the true Ruler of this world, our Lord Jesus Christ, and against His true Church.

But that's not what we see here. The incident of the Grassley letter represents a very opposite situation. A genuine, orthodox Christian layman in the U.S. Senate appropriately exercises his civil power and duty to inquire about the tax-evading, self-enriching proclivities of a bunch of unregenerate phonies.
