The Christian Thing to Do
Christians are used to hearing people say “it’s the Christian thing to do.” Most often, it is by people deeply hostile to Christianity who say it. I get this all the time — even more so since I announced I am going to seminary. Liberals with no sense of Christianity want to tell Christians how they must behave and, by and large, hate us when we behave as Christians.
Now, I know many of you do not share my faith. But there is a larger point that must be made here so bear with me. Tolerance is not a Christian value. It is necessary in the course of civil and democratic society to be tolerant of other people’s ideas and opinions, but tolerance for the sake of tolerance is not a Christian value.
Charity and mercy are Christian values. I look at the deep and hostile reaction to Glenn Beck’s effort of late to provide charity to the illegal immigrants at the border and I am shaking my head at some of my fellow Christians and fellow conservatives.
I do not think the government should be helping these people stay here. I do not think the government should be bussing them to other places. I do not think we should let these people stay here. But I think while here we should, in private charity, show mercy and give comfort where we can. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →

Less than two week after learning of the IG’s report alleging that the IRS targeted conservatives and one month before she “apologized,” Lois Lerner was covering her tracks at the IRS.

Barack Obama is messing up by the numbers when it comes to the border crisis.
The White House is making a very bad mistake when it comes to their attitude towards the border, as witnessed by this interview snippet featuring DEMOCRATIC Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas. Background is, somebody from the White House called to complain to Cuellar about his call for the White House to do more about the current border crisis. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Rep. Louie Gohmert on Border Crisis: We Can’t Trust This President

Gohmert, who is from Texas, spoke passionately about the crisis at our border and warned that President Obama shouldn’t be trusted at all on this issue. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
John Boehner is Right on Impeachment
As I have written several times, impeachment would be crazy. I get the angst by some Republicans who want the President impeached. But it is crazy talk right now. There aren’t the votes and even if there were the votes it’d never make it through the Senate and would most assuredly scuttle our chances of taking the Senate.
Impeachment is not an option. John Boehner is right to say so. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Senate Democrats Propose Bill to Gut Religious Liberty After Hobby Lobby Decision
Despite what the Obama Administration and mainstream media have tried to spin, the Hobby Lobby decision by the Supreme Court was about religious liberty.
Senate Democrats outraged by the result of that decision are taking the only step available to them to reverse the decision, gut religious liberty. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
Republican Fantasy Fan Porn vs. Democrat Fantasy Fan Porn
There is a dark undercurrent in the Harry Potter world. Abnormal and obsessed fans generate fan pornography based on the fantasized love interests in Harry Potter. Yes, be as disturbed as I was to learn this.
But Washington politicos do the same. Not a day goes by without some left leaning reporter trotting out new theories about how Hillary Clinton will lead neocons and moderate Republicans into fangasms of support for Hillary. It is ridiculous and not gonna happen.
Republicans are doing the same with Mitt Romney. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
August is never good, September could be worse
August is when things happen in politics. Typically, it’s a scandal, and it hurts sitting presidents and their parties. Right now, the crisis at the southern border looks to be the next big thing about to really bubble over (it’s bad now, but reports of terrible diseases among the camps could make this a lot worse). It’s a terrible situation because the Democrats were banking on immigration reform to turn this into a success story ahead of November, and the defeat of Eric Cantor in his primary more or less sealed the fate of that political tactic. But, it didn’t stop the flooding. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
