Unity Will Defeat the Attack on Religion in This Country
People of faith across the globe have been under attack for many years. The Obama Administration has ramped up the attack in this country over the past three years. In the face of this increased attack on religion, the United States Catholic Bishops have released a Statement calling for "A Fortnight of Freedom." From June 21 to July 4 of this year, events will be held across the country to highlight the need for all Americans to defend our religious liberty.

The U.S. Department of Planned Parenthood
Anyone who doubts that the current administration is in the back pocket of Planned Parenthood need only consider the latest personnel shift at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”).

Obama's Self-Induced Constitutional Clash
A new development in the weeklong war of words launched by President Obama at the Supreme Court. Today, Attorney General Holder complied with a request by a federal appeals court judge to provide a written explanation about the role of the judiciary. It all began on Monday when President Obama chastised the high court saying it would be "unprecedented" for the Supreme Court to overturn ObamaCare. He also attempted to raise doubts about the legitimacy of such opposition by what he called "activi Continue Reading...
