Speaker John Boehner passed the last government funding bill by appealing to Democrat votes in the House to offset the more than 25 percent of his Republican Conference which refused to support him. After the benefit of time to review some of the specifics of the so-called Cromnibus, the only surprise is that a majority of House Republicans voted for it.

New Year’s Resolutions tend towards the personal: lose weight, take up a hobby, spend more time with the family, get up earlier, read great books, etc. But this new year I beg people to take some time to learn more about bioethics. The stakes are high. Our definitions of life, death, and human dignity are up for grabs, so we must not abdicate our moral duty to be informed about such weighty matters.

It’s bad enough that radical homosexualists are targeting Christian businesses, state laws protecting marriage and other “grown up” institutions, but what’s worse is that this evil movement has in its twisted cross-hairs your little children in public schools, children who are too young to be introduced to sex lessons, much less the perverse, abominable concept of homosexual behavior.

I know, you Leftists and “useful idiots” in the Republican Party don’t like to hear talk about “communists.” It’s scary to be exposed in the light of day for you Leftists, and embarrassing for you useful idiots (don’t want your sophisticated liberal friends to think poorly of you, after all), but communism was real for over a century (and was responsible for somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 million deaths worldwide), and remains real today. And it’s hard at work trying to bring down the American republic.

It’s good to hear that at least some Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives aren’t going to just roll over and allow a gutless surrender-monkey RINO step into the Speaker position again unchallenged.

In both private and public policy, we must remember that God created only one race – the human race. Therefore, all elevation or denigration of individuals or groups based on skin color is immoral and shameful because it violates the Law of Nature and of Nature’s God!

I want to think aloud about family government, which is far more important than civil government in every way. God’s design is clear. What He planned is that one man and one woman would be joined together in a one-flesh union for life, without any separation until death parts that couple.

As this recent report from Fox News indicates, the attack on religious freedom in the United States continues with the edict against Colorado baker Jack Phillips. Homosexual activists are attempting to violate his religious freedom, seeking to force him to bake a cake for a counterfeit wedding, and indoctrinate himself and his employees with the propaganda that counterfeit marriage is equal to a real marriage. But South Carolina is being proactive about defending marriage, and other states can and should follow.

Leftist infiltrators in the Republican Party are preening over a CNN poll which found that RINO Jeb Bush supposedly leads among 2016 GOP presidential contenders. Meanwhile, Rasmussen finds only a third of likely Republicans support a Jeb Bush run, and a recent Federalist straw poll finds him trailing nearly 24 points behind the leader.

Dennis Prager’s Prager University has a great video (and series) on the Ten Commandments. This introductory video examines the source of the Ten Commandments, what makes them authoritative, and their impact on society.
