Obama exceeds Chamberlain by switching allegiance from ally to enemy

There is no comparison between supporting the survival of a nation and defending another nation’s violent intent. One is struggling for its very life, surrounded by enemies on virtually every side. The other is a theocratic foe to western countries, expending every resource on developing methods to destroy the West.

#WelcomeBibi -- Iran sneaks nuclear facility; Netanyahu must address Congress

The National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) breaking the news that Iran has been operating a more than 150-foot deep underground uranium enrichment facility, for the specific purpose of developing nuclear warheads, demands the Obama administration and U.N. take a realistic view of negotiations with the renegade nation -- that they are pointless. Iran never has and, under the hand of the mullahs, never will capitulate to Western pressure to cease their nuclear aspirations.

Harf's ISIS job plan based on "opiate of the masses" concept

Last week, State Department Spokesperson Marie Harf hawked the administration's rationale behind individuals joining ISIS and other terrorist Islamic groups: they are poor and crave nothing more than a good job. The concept is as old as Karl Marx (older, actually, if you go back to ancient gnostic teachings) who said that religion is "the opium of the people." Evidently, the Obama administration is still reliant on the communist explanation of why one turns to religion, even one with the barbaric, murderous practices of an ISIS.

Why Obama's careless toward Islamic terror - he's sympathetic

Standing before a National Prayer Breakfast gathering, President Obama traveled the pitted road of selective memory in his address, choosing to focus on 1000-year-old misdeeds committed under the authority of the Holy Roman Church, a political entity. Unable to bring himself to identify the current perpetrators of horrific atrocities inflicted on anyone who crosses their path, Obama doesn't just condone the ISIS actions, but by refusing to speak about their religious affiliation, admits his sympathies for the Islamist murderers.

Accepting Truth and Living by it

The Written Constitution as the underlying guidepost, the Law, is based on the model of the Written Word as our guidepost for obtaining Life.

Film narrator: Obama's missed calling

What does it take to be a great narrator for documentaries? The ability to read a teleprompter with conviction. While the majority of Americans may not believe that President Obama has the last quality in hand, most will agree that the first is his best attribute. He is a teleprompter reader par excellence. Though it may be a useful skill, it doesn't take the place of being a leader, even a poor one.

Terror's biggest advocate negotiates with Iran

Even as President Obama gave his State of the Union address to the joint chambers of Congress Tuesday night, another domino was falling in Iran's line-up of nation-state influence.

Non-discrimination has become favoritism for Islam

Buffaloed by the age-old fear tactic, progressives seeking equality in an unequal world keep trying to tilt the playing field toward opponents armed with grenades and mortars. The result is anything but equality or non-discrimination, it is appeasement that has transformed into favoritism.

Vitriol from MLK “followers”

Forty-six years after standing in the press booth to hear Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. deliver his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech in Anaheim, California, it grieves me to witness the unfounded and, yes, I’ll say it, blasphemous attacks against free-thinking fellows by so-called men of God who purportedly espouse Dr. King’s spoken views.

Obama can take credit where it's due: obstruction

President Obama, the King of "Me," confiscates credit for anything that even sniffs of a positive scent. Right now, that's the smell of economic growth from privately owned and developed oil fields. His own policies have shuttered federal oil leases, selling them at a premium with crippling restrictions while extorting oil companies (most particularly BP after the Gulf spill in 2010) to pay royalties on oil left in the ground.

Palestinian Authority: wannabe state without rules of state

The New Year unfolded with more terror from Islamists. The Paris gunmen, reportedly an Al Qaeda terror cell with Yemeni connections who murdered 12 people at a leftist French satirical magazine, may give courage to Muslim-based wannabe states like the Palestinian Authority that try to bully authentic nations.

Aid and abet policy releases enemies for the New Year

Christmas passed with non-Christians receiving unwarranted gifts at the expense of a Christian nation (despite President Obama's declaration otherwise, that America is no longer Christian). To wit, Afghani terror agents were released from Guantanamo Bay. Cuban spies responsible for the murder of four Brothers to the Rescue in the quest to save innocent lives were freed in exchange for an American free speech advocate.

The Light of the World

If there was a ‘dark age’ in man’s past, the period of relative quiet between the writing of the last great biblical prophecies concerning Christ and the end of the age is probably the best candidate to retain the title, despite the fact that secular historians apply that appellation to the medieval period. In most translations of the Bible this interval of about 400 years, where the Jews awaited the messiah, lacks written accounts. There are, however, books that were penned during that time when Persia lost its empire to Alexander the Great, and then his divided conquests were swallowed up by Rome. Only a few of these books hold a place among Canon, whereas most have been allocated to a grouping of writings called Apocrypha. Among them are the chronicles of the Maccabean revolt against the Seleucid Empire, one of the remaining thirds of Alexander’s realm.

Crybaby academics lead to weak-kneed government

Choking back tears over hyped-up social strife to demand a reprieve from the hardship of sitting for college exams is just the latest chapter in over-emotionalizing politics. Most university instructors have pretty much heard it all when it comes to excuses for dodging assignments or tests. The old "the-dog-ate-my-homework" grew up to be Monday flu (hangover), monthly incapacitation (cramps) or temporary crippling (sprained/broken limbs resulting from stupid acts like jumping off a roof into a swimming pool).

Manipulating identity to feed mob politics

In America, establishing one's identity through some real or imagined genealogy creates a false politics based on perceived physical lineage rather than cleaving to the identity of freedom upon which this nation was founded. It goes beyond individuals’ physical attributes (membership in or identifying with a minority, boiling down to an impression that less melanin equals no identifiable culture) that fueled the recent Ferguson and Ferguson-sympathy riots to understand where this kind of thinking is really leading… disassembling the nation through mob politics.

Gauntlet is thrown; Obama spurns the People, Congress

Immigration reform, Keystone XL, net neutrality, ObamaCare manipulation (Gruber disclosures), bankrupting coal, bankrupting business... Don't forget the president's encouraging the choreographed protests that followed the grand jury's lack of an indictment of Officer Darren Wilson and Obama's champion Eric Holder's unwillingness to accept the ruling.

Allah ≠ God, Jerusalem terror proves

Tuesday, November 18, 2014 witnessed another murderous incident in an escalation of a holy war being waged by Muslims in Jerusalem. A synagogue in West Jerusalem was apparently independently targeted by two East Jerusalem men, killing four rabbis holding dual American and British citizenship and one police officer. Brandishing guns and meat cleavers, the terrorists reportedly were reacting to rumors that Israeli Jews are attempting to destroy Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem and were responsible for a bus driver's death that was conclusively ruled a suicide. Each of the rumors are unfounded, Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling them "blood libel" against Jews spread with only one purpose: to incite violence.

Walking Wounded--government victimizing disease

In all likelihood, you haven't taken a look at the new vocabulary of healthcare and the change that it has instituted in how we perceive health and, as a result, healthcare--these perceptions that underlie the concept of necessary healthcare. In fact, it goes to the very core of what we think health is.

Just what we expected: backpedaling the Congressional win

Election night wasn't even over before the pundits began piecemealing the republican win into acceptable bite-size legislation that the new Congress should pass to avoid rocking the boat. What is wrong with this analysis?

Mississippi’s ignored senate race – do no “evil for evil”

Observing the chaotic politics surrounding practically every issue on and off the ballot is one of the advantages of a missionary’s life being posted in sundry locales around this nation. And it is Mississippi that has collared me for more than a year – a state of endless hospitality, conservative ethics and Southern tenacity. In the face of injustice, Mississippians will stand their ground and rightfully so.
