This video from GBTV features audio from a presentation given by Fr. Andrew Kemberling of Saint Thomas More church in Centennial, Colorado when he gave the opening prayer at the Colorado Republican Convention. After he prayed, he told attenders what we are facing at this time in America, acutely in 2012: “This is an issue between democracy and socialism….Whenever we have a religious liberty stopped, it is a hallmark of socialism. And it will never be compatible with Christianity.”

South Dakota Dist. 34 Senator Stan Adelstein recently asked South Dakota Attorney General Marty Jackley to investigate allegations of impropriety, conflict of interest, and possibly illegal activity in the South Dakota Secretary of State’s office involving Secretary of State Jason Gant and SOS employee Pat Powers, who resigned recently. AG Jackley has concluded his investigation and responded to Senator Adelstein’s request with his findings.

This is the trailer for the film “2016: Obama’s America” based on Dinesh D’Souza’s book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage.” Since the “mainstream” media refused to do its job and vet Barack Obama in 2008, and there is every indication they will once again refuse to do so, every American owes it to themselves to watch this film, or read D’Souza’s book, or both to know precisely what they are accepting or rejecting with their vote in 2012.

It is time we started calling liberal Democratic policymakers what they are. We all too frequently lament the ever-reaching ‘nanny state,’ but that term violates a cherished cultural staple — nannies are Mary Poppins or such maternal substitutes as the TV character played by Fran Drescher. Statists are not nannies, they are bullies.

As a society, we have an obligation to reach out and help the poor and needy. At the same time, it is important to strike the right balance—we should provide for those in need without blunting their initiative to provide for themselves. Government programs—however well intended—should not foster a culture of dependence.

The outrages continue with the convicted sex offender, homosexual pedophile, Adam Flanders. On June 29th he filed a million-dollar, sham lawsuit against Brian Camenker and MassResistance. This outrage stems from the 25-year-old homosexual pedophile activist, Adam Flanders, having written a public letter back in 2007 that exposed the awful activities within a homosexual youth club, of which he was a member. Last August, five years after he distributed his public letter, Flanders decided he wanted it removed from any website that had posted it. When MassResistance refused, Flanders filed a restraining order (?) and a million-dollar lawsuit against MassResistance.

Apostle of the Indies, Bartolome’ de Las Casas, died JULY 17, 1566. He left Spain in 1502 for the West Indies and later returned to Europe. Then he heard Dominican Father Antonio de Montesinos speak Pentecost Sunday, August 15, 1511, on the verse: “I am a voice crying in the wilderness.” Las Casas returned to the Americas and dedicated his life to helping Indians. He became the first priest ordained in the New World.
