1. Bind Them From Mischief With the Chains of the Constitution

Convinced beyond reason and data that the American people find delicious the sandwich of socialism being force fed down their throats, the left does not understand what is happening in this country and what is coming.In fact, the media does not understand what is happening either. Largely socializing with the same elites and liberals who are fomenting unrest in the country, the media is missing warning signs that revolutionary conduct amongst middle class conservative and independent voters is at hand.Mind you, it is not revolution with bayonet, but revolution with ballot and advocacy. But it is building. It will come. And if left unsatiated by November’s elections, something worse will come.There is a growing disconnect in this country between average Americans and the largely center-left political elite. That disconnect is what will destroy the Democrats in November and, should the Republicans offer no better, cause potentially cataclysmic change in the republic.Please click here for the rest of the post.

2. Can We Dispense, Now, With The Myth That They Feel Our Pain?

Honestly, I don’t care about the frequency with which our King and his Queen vacation from the tough grind of their having to talk out of both sides of their mouths. And I’ve long since grown accustomed to taking a shiv in the back at the 4th rib from the Monarchy on a fairly routine basis. And I’m fine with them going places I’ll never be able to afford to see or getting really cool stuff I’d never dream of being worthy of owning…but, can we please stop now with the nonsense of being asked to believe that our rulers are just private folk; simple and humble and understated like the rest of the riff raff that walks the streets and pays their bills?Please?Please click here for the rest of the post.

3. What if the tables were turned?

Yesterday, members of the Afghanistan Taliban murdered ten Christian doctors in cold blood, execution-style. These doctors, from several countries and church backgrounds (including my own denomination) had been providing medical services to Afghan villagers.Serving those in need is a natural outgrowth of a Christian’s love for the Savior. Many, many Christians pursue careers of service because of their love for others. But the outgrowth of radical Islamist jihadism such as that practiced by the Taliban appears to be hate and murder.The question that immediately springs to mind is: what if the tables were turned? What if a group of Christians decided to enter the proposed Times Square Mosque and murdered a couple dozen Muslims because of their “outreach” to American Christians? The Muslim community would be seething, as would many others. It would not at all be surprising to see retaliatory terror acts in the U.S. More airliners into skyscrapers, perhaps? Or shoe bombers? Bombed embassies? More U.S.S. Cole-style attacks? Another Fort Hood?But such a scenario will not happen. True Christians do not murder those who believe differently.Please click here for the rest of the post.

4. The DCCC’s Super-Genius November Strategy.

In the process of trying to convince people that Tom Perriello might possibly have a chance at keeping his seat in Virginia’s Fifth District (given Perriello’s bad habit of voting as directed by his party’s liberal leadership) against Robert Hurt, the Washington Post tried to trot out this particular line of nonse… ah, conventional wisdom:”Though polls suggest that Republicans are by far the more energized party this year, the Democrats argue that — unlike the last time they lost the House, in 1994 — they aren’t being caught off-guard.”Not off-guard?Please click here for the rest of the post.

5. The Left: Sanctioning Infanticide As an Ends Justifying The Means

Barbara Boxer was recently up in arms over some words. No, this time it wasn’t the oh-so horrifying word “ma’am”. She was up in arms over her own words or, more to the point, the fact that George Will was holding her to her own words – words that expressed a pro-abortion position so extreme, it can only be described, no matter one’s position on abortion, as outright infanticide. So, she pulled the handy old “out of context” card. Only, it was totally in context, with full video documentation.George Will quoted Barbara Boxer’s own words – in context – in a Newsweek article last month. Here is one of the relevant sections . . .Please click here for the rest of the post.

6. Obama Earmarks $1 Billion in Stimulus Money for Company in Illinois

The biggest earmark in American history has been doled out to a company in Illinois, the President’s home state, in the name of green jobs. The President’s $862 billion Stimulus plan has been an abysmal failure. It provided states and localities with billions in bailout moneys, funded wasteful projects like the Monkey cocaine study at Wake Forest and given false hope to Americans that the President has ideas to turn around the economy. This earmark is an outrage and the signature project of the President’s Stimulus plan. Thankfully, Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) is sounding the alarm bells and educating the American people to this new Obama outrage.Please click here for the rest of the post.
