NC Statues at the DC Capitol: Billy Graham to replace Gov. Aycock. Thoughts?

[theoldnorthstate]

Seems to me that the last thing of interest to Billy Graham would be a statue in the capitol or anywhere else. His thoughts seem to be on joining his God and his wife whenever the Lord calls him home.

He is a good man and unless we know his heart and mind personally our comments are our own subjective thoughts.

Probably the reason some want him up there to start with.

But he's nowhere near as bad as his son is

In 1956, the nation was at a particularly tense time in the Cold War, and the United States wanted to distinguish itself from the Soviet Union, which promoted state atheism.[17] As a result, the 84th Congress passed a joint resolution "declaring IN GOD WE TRUST the national motto of the United States."

So what is your point? A bunch of politicians in the 1950s were scared of the commies, so they put that on the paper currency. It is not like the "Founding fathers" did that.
