The Blessing of Adoption

I have two more heroes. Words cannot begin to describe these people. “Generous,” “self-sacrificing,” and “loving” are good adjectives, but my favorite words to describe these people are the words, “Mommy and Daddy.”

The White Trash World We Live In

I laughed my way through much of the book, except when I was awed by the truthful and penetrating insights that fill every chapter.

ObamaCare Has an Anthem

Last night at the Country Music Awards, hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley took their turn at pointing fun at the Healthcare.gov website. When Paisley complains about a back ache, Underwood suggests he get ObamaCare. “It’s great,” Underwood declares. “I started signing up last Thursday, and I’m almost done.” The duo then breaks into a custom song titled, “Obamacare by Morning,” their rendition of the famous Johnny Cash song “Amarillo by Morning.”

Biden: VP of Shilling

The progress Biden lauds for women is certainly not a sound economy and affordable health care.

Sen. Bareknuckles Boxer

The fight over ObamaCare and the debt ceiling are over — for now — but one thing still bugs me. Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-California) trivialized the plight of domestic abuse victims during a hissy fit on the Senate floor when she compared Congressional Republicans to domestic abusers. “When you start acting like you’re committing domestic […]

Love is All You Need?

A recent Canadian study reveals that love is not a substitute for two heterosexual parents after all and that mothers and fathers are not in fact interchangeable.  The study, based on the Canadian census and published in the journal Review of the Economics of the Household, supports the assertion that children do best when raised […]

Honoring the Unborn Victims of 9/11

Counting these precious unborn children among those who died on 9/11 elucidates in crystal-clear terms that America is principled in the belief that every person is valuable, no matter their size or age.

Public Humiliation in the Digital Age

Have you ever made a mistake? For all of us, the answer is “yes.” What if the mistake you made is captured on film and goes viral? That is a very real possibility in today’s day and age. Cell phone cameras are ubiquitous. A 17-year-old girl in Ireland is learning a very difficult lesson about […]

Seven Lessons on Hope

God is currently teaching me about Hope in the face of disheartenment.  You can probably relate.  As humans, we all have a working knowledge of disappointment.  Maybe you’re experiencing discouragement because of workplace tensions, declining health, or relational rejection; or maybe the immense problems our country is facing — like our massive national debt crisis […]

Why it’s Compassionate to Oppose Government Handouts

Compassion. Justice. Inequality. These hefty words have been hijacked by Leftists. Christians are struggling to get them back. But we are having a hard time shaking the nasty names being hurled our way in the battle of entitlement programs (a.k.a. government handouts) You know the insults: uncompassionate, heartless, and selfish. Ironic labels, considering Christian conservatives […]

Edward Snowden: Whistleblower or Traitor?

Latest in the news about NSA leaker Edward Snowden is that he claims to have enough classified details to cause America great harm.  As the international drama surrounding the fate of Snowden draws on, so too does the debate over the legacy of the man accused of leaking classified information on secret government programs that […]

“The View” Loses Hasselbeck’s Conservative Voice

Editor’s Note: A version of this article was posted by The Blaze. Click here to read it. If you haven’t heard, “The View” is changing.

Keeping Patriotism Cool

Let’s be clear: Americans tend to be pretty patriotic people.  As Forbes reported, surveys consistently show that we’ve remained overwhelmingly proud of our country over the years.  But there is also a growing discomfort among many — especially younger Americans — with being terribly open or enthusiastic about their patriotism. Why is this?  For starters, […]

A 20-Something’s Experience at the Historic Pro-Life Rally at Texas Capitol

Over 5,000 people gathered on the South Steps of the Texas State Capitol Monday night for a pro-life rally in support of HB 2 and SB 1, the state’s pro-life bills that would protect babies in utero from abortion after 20 weeks and protect women by placing reasonable regulations on Texas abortion clinics.

The Issue Is Not Hillary’s Age; It Is Her Politics and Legacy of Scandals

According to a recent New York Times story, the Republicans are targeting Hillary Clinton’s age. If this is indeed the GOP’s strategy for running against Hillary in 2016, then they really are the “Stupid Party.” As if the party was not sufficiently hammered with the Democrat’s and Obama’s phony “war on women” mantra in the […]

In the Midst of Destruction

As Christians, we believe that marriage is a union between a husband and wife that displays the love God has for His church.
