My daughter is at a wildlife conservation camp in Custer State Park this week, and I had to run a “care package” of supplies down to her tonight. As we entered the park, we were greeted by a herd of buffalo on the road…and then another herd…and then another herd. Some of them stuck around to bid us farewell as we left the park, too.

It’s the elite, wealthy, upper-class professionals with post-graduate degrees who delight in pronouncing the end of men – or at least their gentle emasculation. For such women, their position on the issue of “male necessity” is rooted in selfishness, myopathy, and spite. Their concerns are cosmetic, sociological, political… but they are not humane. They are so consumed with the idea of righting some ancient and cosmic wrong committed against their sex that they don’t stop to consider the larger principles at stake.

Why is opening up America’s natural energy resources and defeating an environmental movement that has massive wealth, a pliant media and the capacity to play on emotional heart strings, the most important domestic question facing our nation? The answer is that cheap, abundant energy may be the only way that our nation’s economy thrives in the future.

U.S. Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX), Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Mike Lee (R-UT) and Chuck Grassley (R-IA), all members of the Senate Judiciary Committee, today sent a letter to their Senate colleagues highlighting ongoing concerns with S. 744, the Senate immigration reform bill. “Americans expect their government to end the lawlessness, not surrender to it. They deserve immigration reform with actual border security, enforcement of the laws on the books, and a legal immigration system that works,” the senators wrote.

A special counsel needs to be appointed by Attorney General Eric Holder in the growing Internal Revenue Service (IRS) scandal, Americans for Limited Government (ALG) President Nathan Mehrens says. Federal law provides that a special prosecutor may be appointed by the Attorney General in certain scandals under “extraordinary circumstances.”

General Jerry Boykin, Family Research Council’s executive vice president, expressed serious concerns today after learning that the Pentagon had ordered the removal of a 9/11 hero painting from Mountain Home Air Force Base in response to a complaint from anti-Christian activist Mikey Weinstein.

From the Daily Caller, the testimony before congress of Wetumpka Tea Party President Becky Gerritson on IRS harassment of Tea Party groups: “I’m not here at as a serf or a vassal. I’m not begging my lords for mercy. I’m a born-free American woman, wife, mother and citizen. And I’m telling my government that you’ve forgotten your place. It’s not your responsibility to look out for my well-being and to monitor my speech. It’s not your right to assert an agenda.”

After recent mass shootings in the United States were exploited by the Left to push gun control, Colorado Democrats quickly jumped with all-fours on ramming gun control legislation through the majority-Democrat state legislature. In the wake of this outrageous assault on law-abiding Colorado residents’ Second Amendment-protected right to keep and bear arms, the people are fighting back, working to rid the State Senate of a couple of the lawmaker perpetrators.

Our freedoms—especially the Fourth Amendment—are being choked out by a prevailing view among government bureaucrats that they have the right to search, seize, strip, scan, spy on, probe, pat down, taser, and arrest any individual at any time and for the slightest provocation. Now, thanks to the U.S. Supreme Court’s devastating decision in Maryland v. King—in which a divided Court determined that a person arrested for a crime who is supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty must submit to forcible extraction of their DNA—you can add invasive DNA sampling to the list of abuses being “legally” meted out on the long-suffering American populace.

Sadly it is the way of this fallen world that lawlessness will ALWAYS triumph, if not in one great victory, then in slow creeping incremental advances. From a sound biblical position it is not hard to see our nation’s short comings and present dire estate. What is at the heart of America’s decline and the “common denominator” of the majority of the American people (conservative and liberal) is the outright rejection of Almighty God’s saving solution.
