The pursuit of Constitutionally grounded governance, freedom
and individual liberty
"There
is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it
steadily." --George Washington

Ever since its birth in 7th century
Arabia, Islam has been on a violent and bloodthirsty jihad against Christians.
And despite the drivel of leftist politicos, pastors, bureaucrats and
historical revisionists — Muslims (acting on Islamic dogma) have been the
aggressors rather than the victims.
But — thanks to the above mentioned
leftists — we have a profusion of spineless American Christians who have
allowed themselves to be convinced that Muslims deserve victim-class status due
to past injustices at the hands of those “cruel” and “nefarious” Crusaders.
For once — let’s cast aside all the
politically correct bulls**t and myriad obfuscations concerning the so-called
religion of peace. Thank you! What CNN pundits (and other assorted liberal windbags) refer
to as the “Islamic World” (Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Syria, Iraq
and Iran) was once a series of thriving Christian communities before they were
invaded by the Muslim hordes.

Over this past weekend, an Afghan
Army special forces commander packed his Humvee truck with guns and high-tech
equipment and defected to an insurgent group allied with the Taliban. According
to a report, Monsif Khan, raided the supplies of his 20-man team in Kunar’s
capital Asadabad over the Eid al-Adha religious holiday, joining the Hezb-e-Islami
organization. He is the first special forces commander to switch sides, and
made off with 30 guns, night-vision goggles, binoculars and the Humvee.
The story serves to remind us that
we cannot blindly trust the leadership of the Afghan National Army. We should not allow these individuals to have sole access to
this level of weaponry and equipment, especially night vision devices. First of all, it should require at
minimum three individuals to gain access to the arms and sensitive equipment items,
such as night vision goggles. As well,
there should be random tracking devices implanted into equipment to enable
tracking of these items in the case of such an incident. During my two and a
half years in southern Afghanistan as a military advisor to the Afghan Army
205th Corps, there were countless instances of fuel and ammunition somehow
being unaccounted for.

A well-preserved complete skull from
Dmanisi, Georgia, has ignited a firestorm, threatening to declassify various
claimed species of Homo into one, Homo erectus.
A paper in Science by Lordkipanidze et
al. has upset the applecart of human evolution again. (Evolutionists are
in the business of upsetting applecart's). The Abstract says,
The Dmanisi sample, which now
comprises five crania, provides direct evidence for wide morphological
variation within and among early Homo paleodemes. This implies
the existence of a single evolving lineage of early Homo, with phylogeographic
continuity across continents.

Flood of cancellation notices
despite Obama's promise
To the shock of consumers who
believed President Obama’s promise that they could keep their health-insurance
plans if they liked them, hundreds of thousands of cancellation notices have
been issued since August, according to Kaiser Health News, a service of the
health insurance giant Kaiser Permanente.
The letters are going to people who
buy their own coverage, which has frustrated many who want to keep what they
have and has forced others to buy more costly policies. The insurers explain that the policies are
not in alignment with requirements of Obama’s Affordable Care Act that take
effect Jan. 1

Barack Obama had just the solution
to the train-wreck rollout of Healthcare.gov: He gave a speech. He assured us Monday in the Rose Garden that "nobody's
more frustrated by that than I am" about his own website not working.
Small comfort. "There's no excuse for the problems," he said.
"There's no sugarcoating it." He had, of course, just spent 10
minutes trying to sugarcoat it and would continue to do so for the remainder of
his lengthy remarks. In fact, the president spent 30 minutes not explaining what happened or why.

View From The Left: A lesson for moderates in the shutdown
A
lesson for moderates in the shutdown
E.J. Dionne writes — We should never govern ourselves like this again. We cannot create absolutely pointless crises that make our great democracy look foolish around the globe. We cannot give Chinese government propagandists fodder as they call for “a de-Americanized world.” We must not allow the extremist politics of a tea-party minority to turn our republic upside down. [He conveniently ignores the Constitution gives the House the power to appropriate. However, this Child King, would not come hat in hand and ask. So who started this?]

A wise friend once posed a question to me on
the correlation between abortion and adoption. “How can we beg these women not
to abort if we don’t also take up the cause of adoption?” She was so right.
If we truly believe we can end all abortion, then we must also address the
fact that many of those children will end up orphans. Does that mean
that we each should adopt a child into our home? I don’t think everyone is
called to that, but I do think we must champion the cause of adoption as much as we
work to end abortion. Not only does that mean giving time and money to
worthy adoption agencies, such as Bethany Christian Services (who also helps
women with unplanned pregnancies) and people who are stepping forward to adopt
(shameless plug for great friends currently adopting), but it also means we
need to take a closer look at our laws and opinions regarding adoption. With
so many children in need, are you really going to tell them an older single
woman cannot adopt because she doesn’t fit the perfect criteria you had in
mind? And what about after adoption?
