You are being bombarded on every side. America is racist. America is oppressive. America is divided. America is great. America is the greatest nation ever. America is the land of opportunity. America is the problem. So which is it? We Americans live in a nation that at one point participated in the kidnapping, sale, and…

Don’t Give Up! – (Guest Post)
–Guest Post By Ben Gilmore I am truly optimistic about our society. Everything around us is SHOUTING for us to focus on the corruption, graft, lies … (evil!) around us. Though not living in denial of reality, I am choosing to focus upon those things that are true, honest, just, pure, and lovely. American citizens…
Obamanomics
Are Obama’s plans to help the economy working? “Obamanomics, also known as the New Deal, also known as Keynesian economics, is once again shown to be a failure. You can accept the theory floated by the apologists of John Maynard Keynes, that we just didn’t spend enough money, or you can accept that taking money…
Principle or Luck?
Republicans (and others) would like to see Barack Obama be a one term President. Will this happen? I don’t know. Maybe. Hopefully. But I do NOT feel like I can depend on American voters to throw him out based on principle. It is really a matter of luck. If people feel that the economy is…

This crisis will be settled; central bank executives are meeting in Brussels even as I speak. “I have alerted the Armed Services and issued a…
Christianity is the Source of Civil Liberty
“The religion which has introduced civil liberty is the religion of Christ and his apostles, which enjoins humility, piety and benevolence; which acknowledges in every person a brother, or a sister, and a citizen with equal rights. This is genuine Christianity, and to this we owe our free Constitutions of…
America – Christian Nation?
Is America a Christian Nation? Does America have a Christian Heritage and History? Barack Obama says America is not a Christian Nation. People are offended. I have found this to be an almost impossible conversation to have because it is rarely established in a conversation what is meant by “Christian Nation.” Each side means something…
Patrick Henry on Religion and Freedom
Patrick Henry once said: “It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For that reason alone, people of other faiths have been afforded freedom of worship here.”
