The unthinkable is about to happen. The worst threat to our country since WWII is to be re-installed as the chief occupier of our White House. About the only positive to come out of all this is that the apex of our mountain will be reached. After tomorrow, it’s down hill as each day is one less off his four year total.

While most Americans will just accept the headlines created by the federal government’s declaration of a 2012 heat wave, and the agenda driven global warming pronouncements that followed, sometimes it is good to look behind the data.

Dr. Theo sent me a telling video over the weekend. In light of the true and kept promises of the real 23rd Psalm, the worthless promises of the Statist 23rd Psalm are revealed for what they really are in this video. Liberals. Surely mediocrity and an entitlement mentality will follow them all the days of their lives.

Ever the realistic optimist, Bill Whittle reminds us that there are reservoirs of strength and hope still left among the people who fought off the most powerful empire in the world, colonized a continent, defeated global evil, and went to the moon.

Instead of meekly sitting still while our rights suffer further erosion, we the people need to let our representatives know that we will not suffer any more incremental subversion of our liberty. We must let them know in every way that we will not go gently into the long dark night. We will not stand as sheep to be sheared of the rights given to us by our creator, recognized in our Declaration of Independence, and carved into the stone of our Constitution.

Much of civilization is based on the principle that children are best socialized in a home by two biological parents in a committed relationship. As a result, couples have always been encouraged to marry and remain married. And yet the federal tax code takes a decidedly anti-marriage stance. These tax decisions are not completely out of our control. They are a direct result of general ignorance about taxes and tax redistribution.
