Obama to Beyonce': "Will you write that symphony?"
“I have to admit I’m disappointed in my friend, Beyonce’ Knowles. I say this in light of my past praise when I stated that Beyoncé could not be a better role model for my girls. Her recent song lyrics are demeaning to young women. I know this isn’t a very dignified thing for a president to be talking about, but I AM a father, too, and I’m talking to my fellow dads across the country. For Beyonce’ to suggest that a woman’s worth is defined by her ability to provide a certain type of …”
Liberals' "mealy-mouthed obfuscation" toward Cuba
“I am going to torture you, Mr. Anderson. You are an enemy to my revolution. Before I kill you, I am going to drain most of the blood from your body for my medics to use on my wounded soldiers with your blood type.”
Beyonce' coarsens our culture another notch
Beyonce’ Knowles is one of the most glamorous celebrities on the music scene.
She could be such a positive influence on young women if she chose. Sadly, she chooses to corrupt with her latest song, “Partition.”

The upcoming battle of "Christian" films

Even though Mr. Gonzalez didn’t teach this philosophy in his classroom, 124 members faculty signed a petition denouncing intelligent design, reinforcing their hostility to all things religious.
Emerging common ground on Obamacare
The president loves threats.
He threatened the Syrian president not to cross a “red line” by using chemical weapons on his people. He did, and our president caved. We did nothing.
He leveled a similar threat regarding the Ukraine. The Ukraine government was so nonplussed by the threat that they didn’t even bother to answer the phone when our Secretary of Defense put in a call. A defense spokesman with the Obama Government sheepishly admitted this was unprecedented.
Domestically, the president repeatedly threatened Republicans not to mess with Obamacare. Ironically, Mr. Obama didn’t even believe his own threats. In recognition of the abject failure of Obamacare, the president himself has been messing with the Affordable Care Act. He has made some 30 changes to his signature piece of legislation without bothering to give Congress a say …
What God did not say to His Son
Ask any parents: they would much rather suffer than watch their own child …or any child….suffer.
But it is a lie to say, ” I only want you to be happy”. Because what the world perceives as happiness often ends in pain and weakness.
