Major Indictment of Obama Politics: Pushing Immigration Reform, Sidelining Climate Change Sometimes I wonder... is there any principle, any issue, any promise or commitment or value that Barack Obama won't sacrifice on the altar of political expediency and electoral victory? [ Read the whole thing. It's actually written by a liberal! - JS ]
HYPOCRISY!! After dissing his son, BHO visited Rev. Billy Graham while on his weekend break. [ What I really wonder is why Rev. Graham agreed to this two-faced publicity grab by BHO. ]
The Pentagon report on the Fort Hood shootings was a whitewash.
..The Pentagon report on the Fort Hood shootings was a whitewash. It never mentioned radical Islam or noted the religious motivation of the Army psychiatrist who killed fourteen people at Fort Hood in Texas in a shooting rampage last November.
..We cannot wait for the media to probe this case. We need a full congressional investigation to get to the bottom of this story—before some jihadist in a “sleeper cell” is activated and we see a repeat of this horror on our own shores. It is literally a matter of life and death.
It appears in this instance that Major Hasan was allowed to get away with disloyal statements and treasonous conduct for years because he fit into someone’s erroneous idea of diversity.

It is also bedrock to the perspective I share with readers of my Common Sense email letter.)
When the people lose faith in their government, it’s serious. But when the people lose such faith and those they elect to represent them take no notice of it — or any action to restore public confidence — the problem is more than just “serious.” Read more...

Eight-out-of-10 Americans (80%) say that their religious faith is at least somewhat important in their daily lives, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Just 18% feel their religious faith is not very or not at all important to their lives...
While the majorities of those of all faiths say their religious beliefs are at least somewhat important to their daily lives, there are sharp differences in terms of those who describe it as very important. Eighty-two percent (82%) of Evangelical Christians say their religious faith is very important every day, a view shared by 65% of other Protestants, 46% of Catholics and 37% of those of other beliefs.
