The Importance of Having Conservative Judges

Why is there so much debate and discussion over Presidential Supreme Court nominees? A segment of society is mere spectators on this issue waiting thinking that no matter who rises to the bench this does not affect them. Some just don’t care and others launch a ferocious battle in hopes that their values and belief systems will be the ones chosen to represent them in the Supreme Court.

Let’s Talk About Your Citizenship

Why would you want to talk about your citizenship? Isn’t a citizen a person who is born into a nation or is naturalized? The first question demands another question: Do you have an excellent understanding about your citizenship? Are all citizens treated with the same dignity, rights and privileges according to the rule of law? This is where the real problem begins since the rule of law must be defined, and men change the rule of law according to their times and wherever the culture trend is going.

Atheists Can’t Find Atheists to Support Atheism

Atheists, specifically, the Freedom from Religion Foundation, are in a full court press to take a public stand and declare their belief that God does not exist. The long-term implications of such a belief are horrendous to think about, but I’ll save my comments on that topic for another time.

Rescuing Citizenship and Civic Virtue

Late this afternoon, a federal court granted a major victory to the Green family and Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., issuing the company a temporary restraining order to the coercive Obamacare mandate that requires employers to provide coverage of abortion-inducing drugs.
The ruling comes just one day after a lengthy opinion of the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit sent the case back to the district court to reconsider Hobby Lobby’s request for a temporary block to the mandate.

The Supreme Court’s Marriage Decisions by the Numbers

The morning after two important—and troubling—Supreme Court decisions in the Proposition 8 and Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) cases, here’s the lay of the land. The important takeaway: The marriage debate is every bit as live today as it was yesterday morning…and that means it’s time to redouble our efforts to stand for marriage across America.

Energy Politics

This week the biggest news out of Washington will be President Obama’s updated battle against global warming. It’s not enough to win the counterfactual war that the administration saved America from a Great Depression, but how about saving the entire planet from Armageddon!

Let Our Soldiers Express Their Faith!

America’s military is the most trusted institution in our country. According to a new Gallup poll, Americans rank the military at the top of our societal institutions, with 76% of Americans placing “a great deal” or “a lot” of confidence in the military. We trust our servicemen and women. We know they not only protect us physically but also represent our collective commitment to freedom—including religious freedom.
