Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave

Nov 28, 2010 by Clay Ciolek

The surrender of liberty for the sake of “national security” has finally come home to roost in a way every American can understand. If 9/11 was the turning point then why weren’t full-body scans and invasive pat-downs initiated right away? The federal government realizes that it takes conditioning to instigate unwarranted change. And so we have a modern-day wheat and tares parable: the players are the travelers who roll over and surrender their 4th amendment rights versus those who stand on principle. The former are the subjects of peer pressure and social engineering. The latter are people willing to miss their flights, be threatened...

Surrounding the recent elections has been much talk of the resurgence of conservatism brought about by reaction to skyrocketing debt, recession and the ramrodding of Obamacare and other socialistic programs emanating from Washington.

Explicitly Christian Politics

Nov 11, 2010 by Daniel Eby

Nothing on this earth was made apart from Christ. Christ, the Word, created all things, and nothing that’s been made was made apart from Him.

Matthew 28:18 says, “All authority...
