Erick Erickson at RedState says Senate Republicans are getting weak-kneed in the fight against ObamaCare. Senator Mike Lee has published a letter stating he won’t pass a continuing resolution that funds ObamaCare, but Senate Minority Leader McConnell is pressuring Republicans to back away from Lee’s effort. Also, Senator Ted Cruz has a bill calling for the defunding of ObamaCare. Do Republicans want to win…or just surrender without a fight?

The National Security Agency’s (NSA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) domestic surveillance program will face its first up-or-down vote in the House of Representatives today. An amendment offered by Michigan Republican Rep.

The Bible was written to be read. Anything written to be read was also written to be understood. Can we understand everything in the Bible? Not even close. The mind of God, which authored the Bible, is too vast and deep for finite man to understand, but we can understand the major themes and lessons the Bible. After all, the Bible tells us it was written to impart knowledge.

An apt description of modern liberal “thinking.”

Apparently having had their latest attempt to control law-abiding citizens flop, the Left is now adopting “new and improved” language to try to fool the American people into willingly handing over more of their freedom. “Gun safety” Typical liberal propaganda. “Gun safety” legislation. Who could possibly be against “gun safety”?

The times have changed. You, if you are a traditionalist, are viewed as a villain by very many groups and political forces today. The many similarities of classical liberalism to modern American conservatism and libertarianism are notable. Yet today classical liberals are now considered extremists. This should make you very concerned. There is no such thing as coincidence. The barbarians are inside the gates in Britain and they are breaching the gates here in the USA.

The suicidal euphemism to mask Israel’s gradual destruction is the “Two State Solution.” This abomination, along with the equally damning phrase, “land for peace,” has permitted a delusional belief that two states can live side by side in peace with each other. One state is Israel, a democratic nation. The other state would be “Palestine” an artificial creation and a terrorist entity supported by Iran that would live and breathe in relentless and genocidal aggression towards its neighbor, Israel.
