When Healing Becomes a Crime

The pagans of the New Testament were greatly disturbed by the Gospel, and the same thing is happening today. It doesn’t bother them if you teach Buddhism, Hinduism or even Mohamedanism, but teach the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and they become very upset. What is going on here?

238 Years Later: Would Americans Still Choose Freedom Over Slavery?

Imagine living in a country where you’re watched all the time, and if you look even a little bit suspicious, the police stop and frisk you or pull you over to search you. Keep in mind that if you have a firearm of any kind while in this country, it may get you arrested and, in some circumstances, shot by police.

Religious Freedom = Denying Access to Contraceptives

Religious Freedom = Denying Access to Contraceptives

You knew it had to happen when the U.S. Supreme Court smacked the Obama Administration yesterday for (one of its many) assaults on religious freedom, didn’t you? We had to hear from Sandra Fluke, the woman who is having so much sex that it costs her $1,000 a year to pay for contraception to avoid the natural consequences thereof, at least (God, please let it be!) one more time.

Thad Cochran’s Dirty Dealings in Mississippi

We’re used to Democrats telling blatant lies to push their agenda and engaging in shady, criminal election activity, but we have not often seen Republicans stoop to such in-your-face dirty tricks, giving the proverbial middle finger to the will of their conservative base while viciously and falsely painting us TEA Partiers as racists to woo Democrats.
