Independence Day ?

As we reflect upon Independence Day 2009, keep in mind the enemies of our great nation are alive and well and are more emboldened than ever before. Many hold public office and positions of great influence in media, education and the marketplace. Many have been working diligently knowingly and un-knowingly to move the following agenda items forward. How many would you say have been successfully implemented?

Nothing New Here

President Barack Hussein Obama's signing of executive orders ready made for this "new era of responsibility" and a "new birth of freedom" have brought about questions. Apparently those who are not entranced by President Obama's presence are asking how these orders model either responsibility or freedom. Barack H.

Truth should be the means by which a new leader gains the moral advantage and political strength. Truth attracts its own allies and musters the political will to do the hard (and in today's world un-popular) work of standing up to protect the innocent and defenseless. Without truth as the foundation, Freedom and Hope, Responsibility and Justice cannot be attained. Executive order ...
