Rip Van Winkle slept through a revolution.  When he fell asleep, George III was ruler of America.  When he woke up, George Washington was President of the United States.  Rip didn’t know what had happened.  He started whooping it up for the King and almost got into trouble.  He was hollering for the wrong George!  Not a few misguided souls are doing just that today.  Some think they are boosting the Kingdom of Heaven when they are really helping set up the scene for antichrist.  A newsboy was asked why he sold papers when he made only two cents on each one he sold.  He replied,” It gives me a chance to holler!”  Some will espouse any cause that affords them a chance to holler!
