Today, the federal government treats the wealthy as bottomless financiers. Without blinking, the same government that operates from taxing the rich is quick to direct accusations of greed towards citizens less than enthusiastic at the idea of surrendering ever-increasing portions of their wealth to the state. Conversely, those at the bottom of the economic spectrum are treated as victims.

As we informed you yesterday, Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk has joined dozens of other groups and has filed a lawsuit against ObamaCare for its draconian requirement that Christian groups be forced to include goods and services in health care plans that they find morally objectionable.

House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio) called the proposal “modest,” and blasted conservative groups he said “came out opposed to it before they ever saw it.” And maybe they did. But in their defense, the Ryan budget fraud is even worse after you take the time to read it.

Have you ever wondered why so many liberal “Republicans” are so hell-bent on alienating people in their party who actually believe in Republican values and principles? Well, it seems that old saying “follow the money” is as true as ever, and true of what passes for “Republicans” these days.

Speaker of the House John Boehner’s apparent indignation that conservatives don’t like what they’re hearing about the latest sellout to the Democrats would be laughable if the subject weren’t so serious. When we’re cutting a paltry $22 billion from a deficit of a trillion or more, it’s a drop in the bucket! We’re cutting the annual deficit by a whopping 2.2%, and doing nothing about the $17 TRILLION in debt.

It is sad that in these times when the government can so easily be controlled by a mere plurality of interests, and where all the different so-called “checks and balances” provided by the Constitution fail to prevent something as blatantly destructive to American liberty as Obamacare from becoming law, there still is no escape route for those of us living on the mainland. To borrow a phrase from a Cuban refugee who was speaking to Ronald Reagan, “If we lose freedom here, there’s no place to escape to—this is the last stand on Earth.”

Marriage is under assault in the United States like never before. Who hasn’t read the headlines about homosexual activists not only insisting on counterfeiting marriage, but trying to leverage the power of government to force Christians to participate in the counterfeiting of marriage. But homosexuals weren’t the once who started the attack on marriage.
