From the very beginning, God made us male and female in His own image, and gave the Earth to us and our posterity. He gave us talents and ability to use here so that we might seek our enjoyment and happiness in His service (Genesis 1:27-28).

We read in Mark (10:6-9) that it is for this reason that a man and a woman shall leave his and her parents and bond with each other as one flesh and one spirit. A husband and wife promise to each other and to God a life-long union that no one may separate.

As the president tries to force yet one more un-American idea on America, it is important for us to step back and think rationally about his health care plan and why it won't work.

Many of you may like the idea of government run health care because it makes you feel good to think that no one will be without coverage. But that's not true, and the reality of Obama's plan will bring not freedom, but mediocrity to all.

Take a moment to read up on the Massachusetts government health care plan, which has been an abject failure. Obama's plan is very similar and will have the same results. Here's a Cato Institute summary of the subject. Here's a report (Manuse.com archive copy). Visit Cato's Web site to learn about the right and wrong types of reform.

With the freedom of religious expression and the moral guides that come with the exercise of that freedom -- which protects all liberty -- at risk, it is imperative that patriotic Americans act now to ensure religious liberty above all is protected.

Ask your Congressman to support HR 397 (Web link to bill -- Manuse.com archive of bill), which would acknowledge and affirm the rich Christian spiritual and religious history of our nation's founding and subsequent history of religious freedom of expression. The bill would also create a week for the nation to celebrate that religious heritage and hopefully continue its form for our posterity.

(A letter I wrote to my representative and the text of HR 397 follows on the next page.)

When it comes to the economic systems of civilization man has created for the various nations, any is surely imperfect and thus inferior to God's perfect Kingdom that He promised to us. Yet, God's Word in the Bible is a clear statement of how we can live according to His will even before His Kingdom is restored on Earth. In that message, it is clear that some imperfect systems are better than others during the interim period.

Today, the debate about what Earthly economic system is best centers around the value of socialism and capitalism within the confines of a Constitutional Republic form of government. One system puts government at the center of the markets, in charge of the means and result of production, the other maintains a decentralized free market force, allowing men to choose to put God at the center of things, or not.

It is the duty of the press to answer questions for We the People. The press should be holding ALL elected officials' feet to the fire -- Democrats, Republicans, Independents -- ALL!

When private citizens get together to protest a president and Congress that passes bills without reading them, spends our great grandchildrens' money before they are born, and violates the Constitution daily, it is the media's job to represent those people and ask the same questions of government officials.

Not CNN "Reporter" Susan Roesgen, though. What this reporter said to and about this poor guy, Norm at a Tax Day Tea Party in Illinois, should get her fired. She is a disgrace to journalism and a disgrace to liberty loving America.

University police, and many police officers in general, are daily violating our Constitutional rights. This must stop. Here's the disgraceful video of John Ziegler being arrested for exercising his First Amendment rights to assemble and to independently report on an event.

Ziegler should sue the university, and he should get a written apology from the university president. The officers should not only be fired, but they should also be arrested for assault.  This is a state university; it is public property. Ziegler was doing nothing wrong. Everyone who loves this country should be outraged by this, regardless of their political leanings. It is wrong to do this to ANY American. The university and these cops must be held accountable.

Just one week after the Massachusetts Public Health Council unanimously decided schools must note students' Body Mass Index on report cards sent home to parents, President Barack Obama introduced a bill in Congress to require "the redistribution of [fat]," so everyone weighs the same and can't be mocked.

"It's not that I want to punish your success," Obama told a group of fit and skinny Americans. "I want to make sure that everybody who [has a bigger] behind [than] you, that they've got a chance for success, too." (real quote)

Most current politicians, union officials, religious leaders and government employees: "...they say but do not perform. They create heavy burdens and put them on the shoulders of men, but they themselves are not willing to budge them with their fingers. All of their actions are done to please the superficial desires of men; for they broaden the meaning of words clearly articulated by the just and hold their clearly illogical statements as their self defense. They dress and act like they are better than everyone else. They like the most prominent place at evening meals and the front seats at places of respect and honor and other public places where men and women meet. They look to be called leaders among their equals. But the true servants of God and men do not look for honor in this world because there is only one Teacher and only One to be honored, and all of us are equal under Him. Moreover, do not call anyone your father on earth, for one is your Father, the heavenly One. Neither be called leaders, for your Leader is one, the Christ. The greatest one among you is your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." - Matthew 23:1-12 ... [more]
