Okay, so I know as a Christian I’m supposed to be loving and overlook a lot of the, shall we say, shortcomings in our fellow man. But even Jesus could not hold back when the hypocrisy of certain individuals reached certain levels. So, I came upon this little piece and couldn’t resist exposing some more Democratic dirt (that only remains buried because of our exceptionally | Read More »
Poor Governor Jerry Brown. He can’t get no support (tacky phrasing meant for affect) from the federal court in his efforts to end the court’s monitoring of the California prison system: Treatment of 32,000 mentally ill inmates in California prisons remains seriously deficient, with staff and facilities shortages and a high number of preventable suicides, a federal judge declared Friday in rejecting Gov. Jerry Brown’s | Read More »
*ADDENDUM: Just thought I would edit this baby to get it back to the top of the list in lieu of today’s open thread. (And I hope no one has a problem with that.) Have a great Saturday. It’s been a long week watching the development of one depressing trend after another. From Stockton’s court approval to seek bankruptcy protection, exposing more glaringly just how | Read More »
Don’t know if you watched the O’Reilly Factor last night, but if you missed it, let me say that I think the argument over how to debate same-sex marriage is only just beginning. Since I don’t have a link for the whole show, a few days ago, O’Reilly made the comment in his opening talking points that the reason conservatives have lost public opinion over | Read More »
I thought I would lay out what the key legal battle will be as Stockton moves forward with their reorganization plan in bankruptcy proceedings. Once again, it looks like federalism and the Tenth Amendment will be at the core of the battle as CalPERS — California’s public pension plan holder and Stockton’s biggest creditor — fights to remain immune from any contract modification in Stockton’s | Read More »
I sure hope some sanity returns to California voters soon. As a federal judge gives the go-ahead to the city of Stockton to file for bankruptcy, the liberals on the State Board of Equalization vote to increase gasoline taxes effective July 1, making California gas taxes the second highest in the nation behind New York. Unfortunately, the trend in Sacramento is to make gasoline prices | Read More »
As America has drifted further and further from her foundational roots, too many of us have lost the ability to present a clear pathway back to the fundamental framework and crucial purpose of American government. Much as I’m tired of the discussion and just wish it would go away, the battle over homosexuals demanding civil rights protection for their immorality has become such a threat | Read More »
I love using music to tell stories. I woke up this morning full of hope and anticipation for what the future holds for America. All the doom and gloom over all of the propaganda trying to convince us that we have lost the moral war and the homosexuals will soon be throwing us in jail for our beliefs reminds me of that scripture that says | Read More »
I was getting really tired of the whole discussion over homosexual “marriage,” what position the church should take on it, and the various positions individual Christians — as well as the leadership in the churches — should take on it. Then Erick promoted this diary and I got inspired to clarify a few points that I hear made repeatedly in this discussion. Sometimes reading the | Read More »
As Erick wrote in yesterday’s The Silver Lining,” I am not ready to consign America to hell for good, and in the midst of the battle over same-sex relationships, I see many silver linings coming out of the moral decline we are all witnessing. I still believe that America belongs to God. By that I mean that He has a covenant with her and He | Read More »
