Looks like I’m not alone in my distrust of “Republicans” to do the right thing. An elected Republican in the U.S. Senate says he doesn’t trust “Republicans” any more than he trusts Democrats to do the right thing.

If you enjoy Star Parker’s column, you’re going to love her new radio show. I’ve heard her speak live a number of times at the Values Voter Summit in Washington D.C. as well as heard her interviewed on news shows, and she’s a firebrand for traditional values. A former welfare mother who had multiple abortions, when God got ahold of her life, she radically changed. Now she’s on a mission to help change the world, and change it for the better.

On Thursday, the House voted to approve the latest incarnation of the Violence Against Women Act. So, it’s a done deal, and it’s not good. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor threatened conservatives who had opposed the new version of the Violence Against Women Act, and many Republicans bowed down in obedience to their debilitating fear of standing on conservative principles.

Earlier today, Floyd Lee Corkins, II, pleaded guilty to three charges including a District of Columbia charge of committing an act of terrorism.” The charges stem from the August 15, 2012 shooting at the Family Research Council’s headquarters. Today’s hearing also revealed that in the interview with the FBI right after the shooting, the shooter admitted his guilt, which was captured on video.

Around 500 or more pro-family patriots stood for faith, family and freedom tonight in Rapid City for the Family Heritage Alliance’s annual STAND banquet. The event was held the evening of Oct. 23 at LaCroix Hall in the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center. Several public officials were on hand this evening, including many legislators from across the state, Rapid City Mayor Sam Kooiker, and Congresswoman Kristi Noem (R-SD). The keynote speaker was Tony Perkins, President of the Family Research Council.

Less than a month ago, a homosexual activist entered the lobby of the Family Research Council in Washington D.C. and started shooting. Several members of the FRC staff displayed extraordinary heroism in stopping the shooter and preventing additional violence. These men were honored at the Values Voter Summit tonight.

In addition to the “excitement” provided by the Left earlier today at the Values Voter Summit, some homosexual activists were protesting outside the Omni Shoreham Hotel this evening. They claim that Christian values are killing them. The the truth is precisely the opposite.

This is some good analysis from Glenn Beck here on the victory of Tea Party-supported U.S. Senate candidate Ted Cruz in Texas Tuesday. There’s a lot of love for Rick Perry in Texas. But even though Perry endorsed Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, it wasn’t enough to overcome the Tea Party power. What’s more, Dewhurst spent four times what Ted Cruz-who has never run for office before-spent. This win by underdog Cruz has sent chills down the spines of many Democrats…and more than a few establishment Republicans. Despite media claims to the contrary, the Tea Party definitely is not dead.

Louisiana parents and students who are ambitious to switch out of failing public schools have until June 30 to become part of history. That is the cut-off date for applications to be submitted to the state education department for scholarship funds that can be used to cover the full cost of private school tuition. In May, the state lawmakers approved what is arguably the most audacious and far reaching school voucher program in the entire country at the behest of Gov. Bobby Jindal.

Fresh from his overwhelming re-election victory, Gov. Bobby Jindal has unveiled an audacious education reform agenda that built around an expanded school voucher program, new charter schools, a rigorous teacher evaluation system and a revamped tenure system.
