Fallen state talking about his child with the wife of uriah, the lamenting and anguish as he implored the lord to fix things that humans can mess up. Well, the lord didnt immediately answer the prayer of life for that child and after seven days that child died but david arose and went forth he sat down for bread and he praised god and he led his people into the greatest times of blessing and rejoicing that that family had ever seen. I am so anxious and so looking forward to that for our family and our people not knowing that i will have another opportunity, i just want one more Family Experience to share with you, and ill try to make it brief. Yesterday i shared with you i hope this is emblematic of a lot of people who would have their story told, but in the spirit of fairness within my own family let me invoke the memory of ruban rufus owens. Yesterday my great, great grandfather, today another great, great, great grandfather of my children, the great, great grandfather of my wife, Ru
We can do that ourselves. We can govern ourselves. And we can do it without trying to cut each others throats. Nothing would please some groups, like the Klu Klux Klan sorry mr. Pitts. Your first time has expired. Granted another two minutes. Nothing would please some groups like the Klu Klux Klan or the black panthers than nothing more for us to start fighting with each other. Than they get exactly what they want. This get strife. A group of pastors came together and asked the black panthers to leave. And i appreciated that. And ill take this opportunity. The klans not here yet. Ill ask them to stay out of South Carolina. We dont need either one of these two groups here. [ applause ] we dont need those two groups here trying to divide us and get us to fight amongst ourselves. Going back to that flag being offensive to some of my brothers and sisters in here. The words of lewis farrakon offended me, calling for the death of my grandchildren, which is basically what he did. And that gro
Saved. That he chose to take up arms and lead the cherokee on the Southern Side of the civil war. He hated the federal government so bad that he was the last confederate general to surrender. This amendment recognizes his actions, his reasons. And it calls for the fence that borders the flag pole in question to be remove edd and a square memorial depicting his actions as a memorial. And i think that very worthy. Was he fighting for slavery, or against slavery . No. Was he fighting even for states rights or against states rights . No. He was not. He was fighting in revenge for what had been done to him. Was that a bell i heard . Mr. Pitts those are staff bells. They wont effect you. These hearing aids pick up sounds sometimes. My wife says they pick up ducks but they dont pick her up. I told her i didnt have them in. She accuses me ladies, that i have selective hearing. Have you ever accused a man of selective hearing . She wanted to know one day we were sitting on the deck and i said s
In considering that ms. Cobbhunter i have to consider the entirety of the amendment. And the entirety of the amendment with a little section added in. I dont think i can rule outside the scope of the resolution. If there were separate questions before me, then may i ask you a question im sorry i didnt want to interrupt. Im going to overrule that point of order. Did you have another one . I have a couple more but im going to yield to my colleague mr. Smith, as i read through this once more. There are at least two, perhaps three more points of order that i think are pertinent here. If you would would the chair allow peame to consult with my attorney . No, maam. We cant well, you can consult with him. If theres another point of order may i just say this mr. Smith as he goes to his microphone what im not trying to delay. But the reason i want to consult with mr. Smith is because im not an attorney and i really dont know the law. And i want to not waste your time. So i want to make sure. Be
Chairman. You talked about managing risk, mr. Chairman. Would removing our only airborne brigade, b. C. T. , in the arctic, or the only b. C. T. In the asia pacific, would that do to our credibility . Would that boles you are our credibility in the arctic or asia pacific with regard to the rebalance . And you talk about risk. It seems to me Vladimir Putin is militarizing this part of the world. If were actually removing force, removing forces, our own arctic trained forces, thats a way to increase risk because we know he views weakness as being provocative. Theyre making a move in the arctic. If we start withdrawing troops, the 425 in particular, i think that heightens risk. Would either of you care to comment on that . General dempsey yes. I think it increases risk but some of the decisions, and youre talking about the army in this case, but some of the choices that the Service Troops have to make in terms of resources, you know, the army is tasked going from 490,000 active where they
