Military officials appear to be in sandbag mode telling the media that the recent revelations about policies that would lead to the prosecution of military members for sharing their faith was all taken out of context. But the evidence would suggest otherwise, which is why in the last seven days over 140,000 people have signed FRC’s petition to Secretary Hagel asking him to protect the religious freedom of our troops.

The U.S. House of Representatives today passed the Black Hills Cemetery Act, legislation introduced by Rep. Kristi Noem in January. With a strong bipartisan vote of 390-2, the House voted to transfer the ownership of nine Black Hills cemeteries from the federal government to the caretaking communities that have managed them for generations.

Big government social engineers must be shaking their heads in disbelief. The honest amongst them have to be asking how they could have been so wrong. The effectiveness of both Medicaid and Head Start, two bulwarks of the left’s belief that massive government spending could make a difference in the lives of the poor have been exposed as ineffective.

Under Herbert Hoover’s presidency during the Great Depression, local governments ordered the deportation of illegal aliens to make jobs available to American 
citizens that desperately needed work. This current administration walks contrary to the presidents who actually served those they were responsible to represent! At a time when America is in an “economic crisis,” Obama and his minions have again displayed their disdain for America and her people by opening our borders and welcoming illegal immigration … and the crimes illegals commit along with it.

Many support “Buy American” campaigns but don’t have compelling economic or moral reasons to do so. Buying exclusively within a specific geographic region impoverishes the local economy, whereas purchasing foreign-made goods helps lift the world’s poor out of poverty. Some people suggest that protecting an infant industry with tariffs is a special exception.

Maybe it’s just me but I’m tired of the same old same old in our politics.  The big-box monopoly parties have morphed into two sides of the same coin, two heads on the same bird of prey.  Today our choice boils down to the conservative Republican tax and spend, infringe personal liberty, and outsource or sovereignty policies or the liberal Democrat tax and spend, infringe personal liberty, and outsource or sovereignty policies.  But of course, since we don’t want to throw away our vote we must vote for one of the big boys.  Conservative? Liberal? Tweedle Dee Or Tweedle Dum?
