I read Liberal Logic 101 regularly, and you should do. This compilation of some offerings from Liberal Logic 101 illustrates why: in the liberal Orwellian world in which we live, everyone needs a lifeline to reality.

What I believe this report reveals is the growing assimilation of pagan (new-age and deistic) ideas, sprinkled with therapeutic self-interest, finally mingled with a childhood Christian tradition. The result is a highly personalized and therapeutic form of Christian faith and practice, i.e., culturalized Christianity. While it may make us feel better to think that the church is losing ground due to assault by secular forces; it is likely that apathy and heresy are bigger threats to Christianity in America than secularism.
An earnest Paul Ryan faced a smirking Joe Biden, who Team Obama apparently instructed to engage in rude interventions and weird expressions to show displeasure or disagreement. Biden’s over the top expressiveness detracted from any credibility he had as a man with more than 30 years foreign policy experience. It was like watching a strange role reversal with the younger Ryan being the even keeled adult with the 69-year-old Biden coming across as the undisciplined off-centered person.
In a July campaign ad entitled “The Choice,” Barack Obama reiterated his plan to raise taxes, saying he wants to ask “the wealthy to pay a little more so we can pay down our debt in a balanced way.” There’s only one problem. If Obama gets his way, and tax rates increase at the end of the year on couples making $250,000, and individual filers making $200,000 and above, it would only raise an additional $42 billion of revenue in 2013 according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Life sometimes has unexpected turns that take us to situations we never supposed possibly to become our own. It could never happen to us...not us. I'm sure that is what Mary Sudovar once thought. So how did it come to be that the children she so loves are now at odds and the court system is involved?
On October 20, tens of thousands of faithful citizens will gather in prayer and public witness in cities and towns all across the United States to oppose the HHS mandate and stand up in defense of our religious freedoms. If you live in or around Rapid City, you can join others at the Federal Building to stand for your religious freedom, that of your children and others.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the party over to the so-called moderates wouldn't make any sense at all." - Ronald Reagan, Nov. 10, 1964 |
