Freedom of religion and the government "qualified" church

What we're seeing take place in America is a blurring of the lines between God and government due to churches being hornswoggled into applying to the IRS for permission to be a "nonprofit" corporation. Why a church, which "corporate" composition is that of its members, would latch onto a concept that a legal entity must be created in order to fulfill its duty of serving Christ is non-sensible.

Like father, like son--Soros' funds all progressives

To this day, most people are still unacquainted with George Soros and his agenda to foil every citizen's access to the American dream. As a man who has exploited the worst aspects of capitalism to acquire billions of dollars, it seems inexplicable that he campaigns against the very free enterprise system that made him a money mogul, and recruits other millionaires to his cause.

Zero in on midterms before distraction leads to loss in Congress

Ebola, ISIS, Obamacare, IRS, Benghazi, the economy and climate change headlines blare fear and anxiety about natural and governmental disasters clawing at the door of every American, and it is absolutely right to be concerned for your and your family's wellbeing.

Right to exist determined by revamped history

Hearing the defamatory accusations with which numerous countries blasted Israel during the UN Human Rights Commission meetings last week in Geneva, it is a wonder that any nation would be given latitude to call themselves sovereign by United Nations standards.

ISIS phenomenon: the illusion of intimacy

Social media is probably one of the most insidious misnomers in use today. It entices tech savvy young people to become reliant on the internet to fill their social needs. A belief that connecting with others through the web, via twitter, Facebook, Skype and other digital sites, can replace intimacy has developed a void in western culture. Individuals are taking solace in the safety of internet friendships to avoid the hurt that can accompany face-to-face contact.

Lax naturalization process contributes to homebred terrorism

Reports of the arrest of another home-based terror suspect was received with diminishing surprise among American newswatchers as the FBI handcuffed another naturalized citizen, Mufid Elfgeeh for plotting against his adopted country. A native of Yemen, where the USS Cole was attacked and President Obama claimed a successful example of American terror policy in his national address September 12, Elfgeeh is another posterboy for lax enforcement of immigration rules by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services.

If only Muslim states thought climate change was the "greatest challenge"

Secretary of State John Kerry has an interesting worldview if he believes that addressing "Muslim-majority" nations with the concept that climate change is the prevalent challenge for this generation. He probably wouldn't get much agreement among the very people he thinks we should be protecting.

Obama’s no strategy IS his strategy

Take that as a play on words if you wish but the point to be made is that President Obama’s “faux pas” at the Thursday #yeswetan press conference was no mistake. It’s all the rage to be outraged at the president’s evident dismissal of the advancing threat of ISIS, however there is purpose behind his stating “we don't have a strategy yet” for dealing with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
