It seems the results of two recent polls found Americans are more concerned that government is or will overstep its authority than they are about terrorism. In a day and age where the TSA gropes you (and your children and grandma) when you go to the airport, and with the spectre of drones and drone strikes within our own borders, and statism on the march through ObamaCare, the EPA and a host of other government intrusions, it is fast becoming apparent that the answer is, “Yes, government is going too far into our personal lives, even under the auspices of protecting us from terrorism.”

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has a problem. They are now directly tied to a terrorist act committed by a nut who attacked the Family Research Council because the SPLC listed that group as a “hate group” due to their traditional views on marriage and family. The SPLC makes a living as one of the left’s favorite hate finger pointers, and now due to their over the top rhetoric, they are certified in federal court as being directly responsible for an act of domestic terrorism.

If you thought the late-term abortion horrors of the Kermit Gosnell “clinic” were an exception, you were wrong. Lila Rose’s Live Action went undercover in the Bronx to visit a clinic and have a little chat about the ins and outs of killing your child late in the pregnancy. If you dawdled and need to kill your child late in it’s fetal development, don’t worry, the abortionist will take care of everything for you-even if the child manages to be born alive.

The most often cited reason we should buy American is its supposed economic benefits. A second rationale for buying American is well-intentioned but not effective. Perhaps we would be economically better off with global trade, it is argued, but we have an obligation to maintain a high moral standard.

Many things are holding the headlines hostage: the terrorist attacks, the crippling effects of Obamacare, the prospect of expanding war in Syria, and as always Iran. There is one over-riding constant that defines the present era. America has a President who advances values and policies opposed to the beliefs of a vast number of Americans. From bowing to foreign leaders to not knowing how many states there are, from vowing to fundamentally transform America to actually doing it, President Obama is to many the Manchurian Candidate.
