Ground Zero Mosque Imam Rauf's Inspirational Guiding Light "Reformist" Sheikh Qaradawi joins jihad chanting at rally in Mauritania
Atlas Shrugs ""Scroll down for a glimpse (there is more to come) of Imam Feisal's rhetoric. Ugly, racist, anti-American, and anti-semitic all wrapped up in "inter-faith" propaganda from our man of peace, tolerance and the towering Ground Zero mega mosque looking down on the cemetery of 911.

Jesus, Christians and Politics
Townhall "More violations of religious liberty are on the way from the people currently in charge. Lesbian activist Chai Feldbaum, who is a recess appointment by President Obama to the EEOC, recently said regarding the inevitable conflict between homosexuality and religious liberty, “I’m having a hard time coming up with any case in which religious liberty should win.” So much for tolerance. The people who say they’re fighting for tolerance are the most intolerant, totalitarian people in politics."

What Americans Want "Arthur Brookes is the president of the American Enterprise Institute and author of The Battle: How the Fight Between Free Enterprise and Big Government Will Shape America's Future.

Legislated Laryngitis / Silencing the Church (from Sept 23, 2010) " ADF concluded that the Johnson Amendment is unconstitutional because it violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment by requiring the government to excessively and pervasively monitor the speech of churches to ensure they are not in violation of the amendment. It violates the Free Speech clause of the same amendment since it requires the government to discriminate against speech based solely on its content and makes a tax exemption conditional on speech. Finally, it violates the Free Exercise Clause because it substantially burdens a church’s free exercise of religion." Chuck Colson
How can Christians stop the abuse of the phrase 'separation of church and state'?
Question: "For some 40 or so years, liberals have done everything they could to erase our Christian heritage, using the "separation of church and state" argument. Since it DOES NOT appear in our Constitution, I wonder why Christians can't do anything to stop the use of this statement. Groups like Alliance Defense Fund 'fight it' but no one really seems serious about do something to eliminate its use! Why not? "

California: The Lindsay Lohan of States
WSJ "Your government's run by a brothel of environmentalists, lawyers, public-sector unions and legislative bums. When they're not taxing or spending, they're creating regulations and commissions like the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology and the California Blueberry Commission. Many businesses would leave if it weren't for your sunny climate. " ALLYSIA FINLEY
I saw this last night and bypassed it. Now the article has gone viral and the TW is behind the curve. As long as we're on this subject, here are two by Victor Davis Hanson:
America Just Checked into Rehab "Republicans should be willing to be demagogued by a weakened Obama as heartless and cruel budget cutters — even if the president may well be the ultimate beneficiary by being able to run on the new theme of fiscal responsibility and a recovering economy in 2012."
What the Election Was Not About "So naturally he is angry and has turned to almost everything in the past that worked: the race card, the get-out-the-minority vote card, the enemy Republican bad actors, the greedy rich takers, etc. But now none of the old “them” bogeymen work; the more that tactic is tried, the more the economy stalls and the people get angry. It’s that simple. He can talk all he wishes, but until he offers fiscal responsibility, private sector encouragement, reassurance of adhering to singular American capitalism, and pro-jobs tax policies, he will continue more of these Orwellian, thinking-out-loud press conferences."

Mandate Challenge Could Prevail
ILYA SOMIN | TIMES-DISPATCH COLUMNIST ""When 21 states and several private groups initiated lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the Obama health care law earlier this year, critics denounced the suits as frivolous political grandstanding. But it is increasingly clear that the plaintiffs have a serious case with a real chance of victory.
"The suits focus primarily on challenges to the new law's "individual mandate," which requires most American citizens to purchase a government-approved health insurance plan by 2014 or pay a fine."Soros Group Says Progressives Won Midterms, Wants Obama to Rule by Executive Order…
Weasel Zippers "It was progressives who won the mid-term elections, particularly incumbents in a socialist-founded congressional caucus that emerged from last week’s ballots virtually unscathed, boasted an article published by the George Soros-funded Institute for Policy Studies, a Marxist-oriented think-tank in Washington, D.C.
