The Daily Caller reported the administration’s April 26th statement, “To be clear, this regulation will not be pursued for the duration of the Obama administration.” (more…)
When Will the Christian Right Begin to Understand?
It isn’t the end of the world no matter how dire the reelection of President Barack Obama seems; but it is time for true conservatives, for the TEA Party and patriotic Christian Americans to band together if the GOP is to survive. We ask ourselves, Did Millions of Christians Contribute to the Totalitarian State by not getting involved politically? Yes. Were the Catholic Church and Evangelicals Christians strong-armed into stepping away from the battle? Maybe. (more…)
Obama’s Assault on Religious Freedom
In 2006 we elected to the U.S. Senate an Illinois State Senator who spent most of his 2 years in Washington running for President. Why should we be surprised this empty suit had no solutions to our problems? Americans wanted to feel tolerant, and free of racial prejudice, a poor reason to elect a President. Obama promised to reach across the aisle, though he hadn’t done so in either his state or U.S. Senate terms. Smoke and mirrors. (more…)
A/G Church Loses High Court Tax Appeal: Church Forced to Pay Real Estate Taxes
For the past two years, Catholics have been in the news voicing opposition to the draconian anti-Christian edits of the Obama administration and the Democratic Party.

The ALCU Wants Sharia Law
Daniel Mach, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s program on Freedom of Religion and Belief, and Jamil Dakwar, director of the ACLU’s Human Rights program, recently co-authored an article on the Huffington Post attacking legislative efforts to prohibit the application of foreign laws inconsistent with the rights granted by the U.S. and state constitutions or state public policy.
White House Fails to Issue Easter Proclamation
President Barack Obama, with daughter Sasha, attended the White House Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Monday, April 25, 2011. He did little else to honor one of our most sacred Christian holidays. We, of course, do not know if Barack Obama is a Christian, but if he is, why does he play mind games about subjects like this and his birth records?
ACLU: Anti-Conservative Liberals Union
Watching TV news as a boy, I was given a false impression of the ACLU by the talking heads who were the only source of news before talk radio, cable and the Internet.
