Here’s an example of why some conservative Christians don’t trust Mitt Romney to be a champion on the social issues. This is what he said to the NAACP yesterday:
"With 90 percent of African-Americans voting for Democrats, some of you may wonder why a Republican would bother to campaign in the African American community, and to address the NAACP. Of course, one reason is that I hope to represent all Americans, of every race, creed, or sexual orientation, from the poorest to the richest and everyone in between.”
Mitt Romney ventured in to hostile territory when he spoke at the NAACP the other day and of course he received plenty of boos when he said how he’d repeal Obamacare.
Let’s be clear: Romney is no dummy. He knew that line would get jeered but he also knew the visual on the nightly newscasts of him getting smacked down at the NAACP would go over very well with the conservative base.
Look, I’m not the most cynical guy in the world but it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out what Romney was doing. Guess what? It worked.
Over the past two years, I've repeatedly documented the threat posed to America' s national security by Venezuela's alliance with Iran. Make no mistake: Iran and Hezbollah have a serious presence in the Western hemisphere. The U.S. is squarely in their crosshairs.

God's word instructs us to have grateful hearts. No matter what's going on in our lives, we should begin and end each day with a list of things for which we are thankful.
It really puts things in perspective. Near the top of my list is my appreciation of being able to enjoy the beauty of God's creation.
Our eyesight is such a gift! Thank God for it! The scriptures tell us our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit. Therefore we must take care of them. That means taking care of our eyes. Lots of us don't really give our eye health much thought until it's too late.
Last week, I discussed how my seven year old stole something from my workplace. I was desperate to get the point across to her that stealing is not only against our written law, but also against God’s law. To teach my children more about God’s law, I want to do some fun projects with my children about the Ten Commandments this week. This blog will cover the first Two Commandments God gave to Moses (Exodus 20).
When you think of nations that are in the crosshairs of the global jihad, the United States and Israel undoubtedly top the list.
America--known to jihadists as the "Great Satan"-- and Israel (the "Little Satan") combined have lost thousands of lives to Islamic terror over the years. Israel, in particular, is uniquely threatened, living under daily fire by its neighbors and in a constant precarious position due to the likes of Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Al-Aqsa Martyr's Brigade (and before that, Arafat's PLO).
We have a saying here in the United States: "What happens in Vegas, STAYS in Vegas."
In the Middle East, what happens in Syria DOESN"T STAY in Syria. Just ask the Lebanese.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Gerald snapped at his wife, Trish. “I’m not looking at you any particular way,” she countered. “What’s really bothering you?” “What’s really bothering me,” Gerald said slowly, “is that you are prickly and angry; and I don’t like it.” “I wasn’t prickly until you began picking at me,” Trish retorted. “Now, I am mad. I don’t know what’s bothering you, but I sure don’t like your attitude.”
