Godly Spiritual Fathers
One may not think that we could look to Peter for a sermon on Father's Day. But that is exactly what I propose to do. Yes, this Peter who once betrayed Jesus has now become stalwart, courageous and holy before God. We find these qualities especially in Acts 5.

Obama Advocates Immigration Reform at Expense of Crime Victims
While the news media feverishly cover the untimely death of music icon Michael Jackson and the sex scandal involving a Republican governor in South Carolina, President Barack Obama on Thursday revealed his plans to reform US immigration policy. During the course of his televised announcement, Obama used the euphemism "undocumented workers" and avoided using the terms "illegal aliens" and "illegal workers."

Iran: Green Hits the Streets
For the Iranian people everything begins on June 12, 2009, with their 10th presidential election since the 1979 Islamic Revolution: the challenge was between the outgoing president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and the opposition’s leader, Hossein Moussavi. Their decision today is largely whether to keep hard-line president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in power for four more years, or to replace him with a reformist more open to loosening the country's Islamic restrictions and improving ties with the United States. Another candidate, Mehdi Karroubi, is more closely associated with the core causes of the Iranian reformist movement, including the freeing of political prisoners and women’s rights, but, as a former prime minister in the 1980s, Mr. Moussavi is given great credit for having managed Iran’s economy effectively during the war with Iraq.

How Mothers Teach Daughters to Yell at Their Fathers
It is very, very subtle - over time, involving complicated life situations, supported by female bonding, allowing for anti-male emotions, pulling from the baser nature of the female, and so forth.

Government Gone Mad in a Total Surveillance Society
I've heard it all- the cries, the pleas, the whines, the double speak and the lies. "We need the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to protect us from terrorists." "We must have Real ID to protect us from illegal immigration." "We must have E-Verify to protect American jobs." "Traffic light cameras are necessary to make the streets safer." "Security cameras on street corners make our neighborhoods safer." "I'm glad the TSA is there at the airport - I feel so much safer getting on an airplane." And my favorite lie of them all - "If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear."

No Healthcare Reform Equals No Senate Job
It mystifies this writer that many Senate Democrats have failed to understand that killing the "public option" compromise position being pushed by the Obama will mean the end of their Senate careers. Politics has changed dramatically in the last few years and many Senate incumbents seem to have missed the size and intensity of the paradigm shift.

Feinberg "will have broad discretion to set the salaries and bonuses for their five most senior executives and their 20 most highly paid employees," The New York Times reported.

If You Can't Take Landowners' Property Rights Away the First Time, Try Again by Another Method
Senator Russ Feingold's S.787 Clean Water RESTORATION Act, introduced on April 2, is a continuing attack on landowners' property rights, this time by placing ALL water under control of the federal government. S.787 is scheduled for committee vote this Thursday, June 18. With Democrats in control of the committee, approval and passage out of committee is very likely.

Clean Water Restoration Act and Rural Cleansing
GAG takeover of America is unconstitutional and illegal and is happening without Congressional law authorizing Fish & Wildlife Service or Department of the Interior to do these things.
