The Party of Frank Ricci by Patrick J. Buchanan 05/08/2009 Having lost both houses of Congress and the White House in two straight elections, Republicans are going through an identity crisis, its leaders holding town hall meetings to "listen" to the people. "What should we focus on? Should we drop the social issues? How do we get the young people back?" Such angst and soul-searching is not the mark of the leader, but the mark of a man suffering from doubt and despair. Why is the party in trouble? Simple. Dubya got a hold of the keys, got high on neocon hooch, and crashed and rolled the family SUV. He launched an unnecessary war against a country that…

I am thankful for the watchdog role of the conservative media and for the fact that there is a viable alternative media today, but the best thing Bible-believing Christians can do to help America is to seek God?s face and purify our individual lives and congregations and keep our focus on Christ?s Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). A man that has not submitted himself to the gospel of Jesus Christ but who follows false religion such as Catholicism (Sean Hannity, Bill O?Reilly, Laura Ingraham, Michael Reagan), Judaism (Michael Medved, Mark Levin, and Dennis Prager), and Mormonism (Glenn Beck), or who believes the Bible contains myths and denies Christ?s blood atonement (…

Jeb Bush, GOP: Time to leave Reagan behind Party leaders go on 'listening tour' with eyes on future Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush said Saturday that it's time for the Republican Party to give up its "nostalgia" for the heyday of the Reagan era and look forward, even if it means stealing the winning strategy deployed by Democrats in the 2008 election. "You can't beat something with nothing, and the other side has something. I don't like it, but they have it, and we have to be respectful and mindful of that," Mr. Bush said. The former president's brother, often mentioned as a potential candidate in 2012, said President Obama's message of hope and change during the 2…

A few places in the Old Testament there is reference made to the nation of Israel that God will give them a new heart and also make a new covenant with them. Reference to a new heart: Reference to a new covenant: It is generally accepted that we are currently in an age when there is a new covenant with God in place. Now I know that the references above are promises from God to Israel. And then in the New Testament (Covenant) there is scripture that makes it clear that God has now included the Gentiles in the new covenant. A couple of questions: Does that mean that God will give a new heart to all Christian believers? If so, when does God give the beli…

Is Torture Ever Moral? by Patrick J. Buchanan 04/28/2009 After opening the door to a truth commission to investigate torture by the CIA of al-Qaida subjects, and leaving the door open to prosecution of higher-ups, President Obama walked the cat back. He is now opposed to a truth commission. That means it is dead. He is no longer interested in prosecutions. That means no independent counsel -- for now. Sen. Harry Reid does not want any new "commissions, boards, tribunals, until we find out what the facts are." Thus, there will be none. The place to find out the facts, says the majority leader, is the intelligence committee of Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Thoug…

Well, the outdoor seasons are nearly hear for everyone in the U.S. During the spring and summer I try to spend time outside, do you other folks spend more time out and away from the keyboard? I wonder if OB becomes a ghost town during the summer? Does everyone just quit posting during the nice weather or is it more active than other boards? There is an international membership here so, do the southern hemisphere folks post more frequently during the the fair weather months of the northern hemisphere? Who are the members moving into fall with winter facing them?

BROKEN ARROWS By Coach Dave Daubenmire April 30, 2009 NewsWithViews.com ?As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.? Psalm 127 Americans had better start having babies and we better start having them fast. The ?battle for the culture? is in danger of being lost for lack of ammunition. Apart from absolute Truth, the greatest weapon or asset any civilization will ever have is children. They are the guarantor of our American heritage. But somewhere along the line, children became a commodity, a luxury if yo…

A CULTURE OF SURVEILLANCE By Chuck Baldwin April 28, 2009 NewsWithViews.com Obama Taking Up Where Bush Left Off It is truly amazing how much news the American news media chooses to ignore. If one wants to discover what is actually going on in the world, he or she often has to go to the foreign press. This has again been the case with a story that every American should be extremely interested in, but which has been totally ignored by the American news media. I found this story in Russia Today. According to RussiaToday.com, "The personal computer may soon be not-so-private, with the U.S. and some European nations working on laws allowing them access to search th…

LET CONSERVATISM DIE By Coach Dave Daubenmire April 16, 2009 NewsWithViews.com Conserve--?To keep in a safe or sound state; to save; to preserve; to protect? Conservatism--the disposition to preserve or restore what is established and traditional and to limit change. Words have meaning and it is obvious to me that ?conservatives? have not yet figured that out. My recent commentary ?Change the Words, Change the World? is worth another read. Until we stop using the words that others re-define, Christians will continue to become good for nothing to the culture. I remember when a socialist was a socialist. But over time, a socialist became a ?liberal,? until folks…

I don't usually promote myself this way, but I'm in need of some extra cash right at the minute. The transmission is out on my truck and there isn't enough extra cash flow in our budget to get it fixed. So for a limited time I am offering custom engraving. I can engrave just about any thing made of metal, all my engraving is done by hand making each piece one of a kind. Below is an example of my work: The front: The back: I'm also engraving commemorative horseshoes - weddings, anniversaries, etc... Sorry it's not the best picture, hopefully you can see the scroll work and the open areas that can be monogramed. Anyways if you are interested in having some custom en…

April 09, 2009 Rick Warren Disavows Prop. 8 Support Jim Brown / OneNewsNow: California mega-church pastor and author of The Purpose Driven Life Rick Warren says he apologized to his homosexual friends for making comments in support of California's Proposition 8, and now claims he "never once even gave an endorsement" of the marriage amendment. Monday night on CNN's Larry King Live, Pastor Rick Warren apologized for his support of Prop. 8, California's voter-approved marriage protection amendment, saying he has "never been and never will be" an "anti-gay or anti-gay marriage activist."
