What Does it Say......

When a US President is a lawyer and taught Constitutional law and his agenda of religious persecution is unanimously rejected by all 9 Supreme Court Justices? Yes, there is something fundamentally wrong our colleges and universities. It says that he is part of the problem.

I'm just a state college graduate. No Ivy League for me. Yet, I can read the First Amendment and it seems clear to me: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Mr. Obama, you already lost on trying to force churches to ordain men and women. The court unanimously said you were WRONG. On the issue of forcing the Catholic Church to cover and dispense birth control and abortion drugs, even the Washington Post is on our side. That really says a lot -- Once again you are wrong and will receive a fail. Obamacare is a fail. It needs to be repealed. Those of us on the right kept telling people this would happen, that the government would mandate and dictate our freedoms away once Obamacare passed.

God is on our side, Obama. God is bigger than the Obama Administration.


Obama Picks Fight with Catholics

Newt Blasts John King

Newt did an excellent job last night.  He defended everyone on the stage.  The media bias is sickening.  If he were a Democrat, they wouldn't be asking the questions, saying that it was his personal life. I don't condone Newts sins, but at the same time, he has confessed (he has said he has asked God for forgiveness and I assume he means in confession since he is Catholic) and says he is a changed man.  I've had many discussions with people about Newt. St. Paul was a murderer, St. Augustine had children out of wedlock..... even our founding fathers had their transgressions. I am not in the business of judging a man's conversion to God or his heart.


What Ron Paul Wants

I read a great article in the WSJ today on What Ron Paul Wants. I agree with the article. Ron Paul makes me nervous. Not only does his pro-life record match the 50% of Harry Reid's, I think he uses "states' rights" as a cop out.

What about the Mann Act that prohibits crossing state lines selling sex? Is Mr. Paul fighting to get that repealed?If Mr. Paul is pro-life, hew would support a Constitutional Amendment ban abortion.  Without Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are not possible. Our founding fathers were clear that we all had the unalienable right to LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

States' rights is a valid argument, but we must realize that we live in an America where States' Rights have been watered down and where a Federal Government has often overstepped its bounds. We do need to work on giving rights back to the states, but we also need to protect the number one unalienable right, too. The right to life.  The Roe v Wade decision made abortion a federal issue and now we must work to defend life at the state AND federal level.

The Latest in Politics

Santorum won Iowa.  I consider it a win. If Romney, who has been campaigning for President for 5 plus years can't pull off winning by more than 8 votes, it is a win for Santorum.  Now that he did so well in Iowa, the attacks have begun.  Santorum's Catholicism Attacked  is an article I read this morning.  As I read it, I thought, "Of course they are going to attack his Catholicism."  They won't attack any other religion, but they WILL attack Catholicism"  Where are the people attacking Romney and Huntsman's Mormonism?

McCain endorsed Romney the other night and we had a good laugh. I'm not sure that helps Romney.  McCain attacked Romney's flip-flopping on many things, but was particularly hard on his pro-choice-pro-life flip-flopping.  I had to wonder why McCain didn't endorse a candidate with pro-life views, like Santorum or Newt. Oh, that's right, he is a moderate, so of course he'd endorse the MA moderate in the race.  In my opinion, Romney is a liberal. MA conservative = liberal in my book.

I'd love to see a Gingrich/Santorum ticket.  I like them both.  Romney's dirty politics and negative ads turn me off. His not being a true conservative turn me off. I'm hoping the Republican establishment doesn't nominate him just because he is an establishment Republican that they feel has the best chance to win. There are many of us out here who believe the only way to beat Obama in the next election is to run a true conservative against him.
