"If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battlefields besides, is mere fight and disgrace if he flinches at that point." - Martin Luther
Senate Confirms Radical Anti-gunner to the U.S. Supreme Court but Obama nomination suffers a higher than normal number of opposition votes.
“On July 10, 2009, Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin became the second governor in these States United (Governor Phil Bredesen of Tennessee is the other one) to sign into effect a State Sovereignty Resolution. (See http://www.tenthamendmentcenter.com ). These Sovereignty-type bills, resolutions and laws are an obvious and rightful response that the super-majority of the States in the Union is expressing to and against the usurping powers of the federal government. While the effects of federal tyranny are being felt more seriously than ever, history and human nature prove that the people of a society do not respond or revolt immediately against tyranny--though they have a right to. America's resistance is no different. Fortunately, the sleeping giant is being awakened, to the dismay of our Centralist-worshipers today…” Keep Reading (outside link)
In an international news conference in Guadalajara, Mexico on August 8, Howard Phillips, Chairman of the Coalition to Block the North American Union, will call for President Obama to fulfill his pledge to restore transparency and citizen involvement in the summit, and to abandon the Bush scheme of creating a North American Union similar to the European Union. As a candidate for President, Barack Obama submitted an op-ed to The Dallas Morning News published on February 20, 2008, which said "Starting my first year in office, I will convene annual meetings with Mr. Calderon and the prime minister of Canada. Unlike similar summits under President Bush, these will be conducted with a level of transparency that represents the close ties among our three countries. We will seek the active and open involvement of citizens, labor, the private sector and non-governmental organizations[emphasis added] in setting the agenda and making progress."

It would be good to read his answer so you know how to answer this question when it is put to you. (I personally remember Mrs. Junk talking with Mama about this question at Panera Bread!)
"In short, the results found in the new study are consistent with 25 years of research, which show that as a group homeschoolers consistently perform above average academically. The Progress Report also shows that, even as the numbers and diversity of homeschoolers have grown tremendously over the past 10 years, homeschoolers have actually increased the already sizeable gap in academic achievement between themselves and their public school counterparts-moving from about 30 percentile points higher in the Rudner study (1998) to 37 percentile points higher in the Progress Report (2009)."
You must read this article by Chuck Baldwin about a man in Florida named Frank Lay who is being prosecuted for praying! “…[A] federal district judge by the name of Casey Rodgers has instigated criminal charges against a high school principal by the name of Frank Lay and his athletic director, Robert Freeman. Their crime: praying. Their possible sentence: jail. Darius' prosecutors are federal attorneys Randy Hensel and Dixie Morrow. According to court records, Lay is accused of asking Freeman to offer a blessing before a January 28 luncheon at Pace (Florida) High School for people who helped with the school's new fieldhouse. And guess what? The documents in which the judge sought the criminal charges are sealed, meaning they are not open to public view. Why they are sealed, an unusual step, could not immediately be determined. (Source: Pensacola News Journal)” Read the article
hy does the government fine me for not wearing a seatbelt? Isn’t that a personal decision?” Well, it would be if you were injured and paid your own hospital bills. But what if the government pays your hospital bills? Essentially, your health and thus a little part of yourself is owned by the government. Americans voluntarily give that jurisdiction over their freedoms to the state. Read Walter William’s article Americans have given up self-ownership.
