A Heapin' Plate of Conservative Politics & Religion

Cher loses faith in Big Government!
On this snowy Iowa day, all I can say is I’m glad it’s Friday. Time to have some fun. Time for some hard-hitting news with a conservative twist from NewsBusted’s Jodi Miller.
Here are her stories for the week:
"Make it so!"
It’s snowing in Des Moines today.
A friend sent me a link to this delightful video of Star Trek’s Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) speak-singing his way through the song, “Let it snow.”
For everyone in the world getting blasted by snow today, I think you’ll enjoy Star Trek’s take on a classic song.
A minimum wage hike hurts black teens
Only 2% of hourly workers in the U.S. even earn the minimum wage. But the vast majority of teenagers begin working at the minimum wage since they have fewer marketable skills …
Liberals "did not treat President Bush this way," or did they?

What is evangelization?
I ran across a very good quote on Facebook this morning I’d like to share with you:
If Obamacare is so great, why is the president delaying it?
Obamacare is a good thing, isn’t it?
The Democrats told us so when they passed it. And yet their leader, our president, keeps delaying the implementation of the law …
The moral peril of a classical education
Another way of putting it is this: I read and understood Aristotle, but read and did not understand Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Baudelaire, Dickens, Hawthorne, Poe, and Flannery O’Connor. These authors combined contain, in their writings, all the warnings against human weakness, human cupidity, and human deceit that any person needs to know to live wisely in this world.
Liberals' unsettling distrust of honest elections
Comedian Al Franken won his Senatorial race by 312 votes out of over 2.8 million votes cast.
That 2008 election proved that every single vote counts.
The 2000 presidential election came down to the state of Florida. Whoever won the Sunshine State’s 25 electoral votes would become president.
Out of nearly six million votes cast, George W. Bush won by only 537 hotly-contested votes. The vote was so tight, and the recounts so inconclusive, that legal challenges were filed by the Gore campaign. It went all the way to the Supreme Court who decided on the slim tally that favored Bush.
More than any election, the 2000 presidential election proved that every single vote counts …
"When did pregnancy become a disease?"
In response to “tighter restrictions on federal payments for abortion,” the Register argues (February 1, 2014): “If men could get pregnant, abortion wouldn’t be controversial … Medication to terminate a pregnancy would be available at every pharmacy.” The Register attributes these restrictions to a government “dominated by men,” especially conservative men. This editorial raises profound questions about the Register’s thinking …
Why the NFL isn't anti-gay
Political commentator and radio talk-show host, Steve Deace, said it well:
Let states determine their own minimum wage
A gallon of gasoline in New York is $3.70 per gallon. In Iowa, it is $3.25.
In Texas, it is only $3.13 per gallon, while in California it goes for $3.65.
These numbers come from the AAA Fuel Gauge Report which came out on December 31st, 2013. They point out the obvious: the price of living varies dramatically by state. For example, the cost of living in liberal states like California, New York, and Massachusetts is twenty to fifty percent higher than in more moderate states such as Oklahoma, Kansas, or North Dakota …
