Thomas Paine, author of Common Sense, makes an often neglected point. Using Matthew 22:21 to support the claim that civil governments are not to be questioned or confronted by lesser magistrates or the people is misplaced and misunderstood. Israel was under the domination of Rome. We don’t live under Caesar

President Obama said the following in making his so-called recess appointments and bypassing Congress, “When Congress refuses to act — and as a result, hurts our economy and puts our people at risk — then I have an obligation as president to do what I can without them.” These are

As I was getting ready for work yesterday morning, I was watching the 1949 film The Red Danube. It stars Walter Pidgeon, Peter Lawford, a very young and trim Angela Landsbury (Murder She Wrote), Ethel Barrymore, and Janet Leigh. Pidgeon plays British Col. Michael “Hooky” Nicobar who is assigned to

Thom Hartmann is the host of the nationally-syndicated radio show The Thom Hartmann Program. He is a liberal with a background in business. It’s important to note that he’s made a lot of money in his life, so much in fact that he has been able to retire at an

There are four categories of Ron Paul voters. The first category is made up of true Paul supporters. They vote for Paul because they truly believe in his platform. We don’t know how many true Paulian believers there are since they are disproportionally vocal, visible, and determined, a good set

Acts of violence against America are usually reserved for Islamic extremists because of their hatred for America. Here’s how Allan J. Ashinoff puts it: Muslims hate America because of who America is and what America represents. Muslims hate the core of American culture and they fear that America’s influence in

Many have been critical of Mitt Romney for his religious views. Little has been said about those of Rick Santorum. It’s rather surprising that evangelicals, most of whom are Protestants, are turning to Santorum as their “Republican flavor of the week.” How much do they know about his views? Yes,

Democrats are snakes. Their latest complaint, USA Today reports, is the greeting people get when they call a state agency in South Carolina: “It’s a great day in South Carolina! How may I help you?” Democrats are upset because, to them, it is not a great day in South Carolina

“We’re from the government, and we’re here to help you.” When you hear these words, run for the hills and take your possessions with you. When the government steps into to fix a problem where there is no problem, you can bet that the new law will be used by

A lot of attention has been put on the Obamas and their $4 million 17-day Hawaiian vacation. That’s right! The President and his family are spending $4 million for a vacation when millions of Americans are out of work. Here’s how the Hawaii Reporter tells the story: Obama’s trip to

It’s been said that the victors write the textbooks. I supposed this is the way it should be. As a nation, if we want to know who has won the ideological war in America, take a look at the our textbooks and popular writing on historical subjects. Dr. Gary North

If you listen to liberals, Democrats, and media sycophants who praise Obama just for breathing, the President saved the automobile industry. Bob Bechel on Fox’s “The Five” spouted this canard over and over again on yesterday’s show (12-22-2011). A study of the automobile industry in the United States will show

David Bahnsen has been a vocal critic of Ron Paul. Bahnsen has written several articles that have gotten a lot of attention, some of it bordering on hate-filled vitriol. The following article was written by Douglas Wilson, pastor at Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, faculty member at New Saint Andrews

An exchange between George Will and the economically challenged Robert Reich was delightful. Reich, who served in the administrations of Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter and was Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997, wants to raise taxes on the rich to narrow the gap

In the film I, Robot (2004), based on the 1950 book of the same name written by science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, tells the story of a society that has become dependent on robots. They are benevolent creations designed only to serve humans. But something goes terribly wrong. The super

Every act of our government today is a divine act. The philosophy of Georg F. W. Hegel (1770-1831), followed by Marxists, Fascists, Nazis, and the modern State in America “expresses the argument with chilling consistency: ‘The Universal is to be found in the State. . . . The State is

Did Sam Walton know that his small company would make him and his family billions of dollars? No. Did he hope that Walmart would make him a lot of money? You bet. “The Waltons are now collectively worth about $93 billion, according to Forbes.” Does the wealth of the Walton

There, I can use the “hate” word, too. Every time a conservative objects to some Liberal practice or policy, he’s described as a “hater” or using “hate speech.” Well, back at you! The latest hate-fest is taking place in Pitman, New Jersey. People are taking sides over a banner that
