Ballot boxWhen the enemies of our constitutional republic speak, we must listen and believe they intend what their words betray. Accordingly, everyone should read former President Barack Obama’s political speech at the funeral of Congressman John Lewis. Here is the speech in full, with the politically potent leftist agenda bolded. Understand that Barack Obama has no god but himself, but he quotes Scripture as well as Satan. At the height of his rhetorical power, Obama’s tongue is as smooth as the great Serpent’s. Remember that he devoted his entire presidency to dividing and stoking separation between ethnic groups, amplifying grievances at every turn. Make no mistake. This is a campaign speech, aimed at producing socialist rule after the 2020 election. I inject my opinion in square brackets. You read and you decide.

James wrote to the believers, “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.”

It is a great honor to be back in Ebenezer Baptist Church, in the pulpit of its greatest pastor, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to pay my respects to perhaps his finest disciple – an American whose faith was tested again and again to produce a man of pure joy and unbreakable perseverance – John Robert Lewis.

– Ronald Reagan

We saw that illustrated by Robert “Beto” O’Rourke this last Thursday when he threatened to strip churches of tax-exempt status if they did not perform same-sex “marriages,” and the Democrats cheered. This bigoted, intolerant position was (of course) framed as a means of fighting bigotry and intolerance.

Shame on the cowards, the ingrates who backed down instead of speaking truth to power. Shame on them for then rolling out half-truths in damage control. The left corrupts everything. We learned from multiple sources of the latest “Orange Man Bad” episode in the world of philanthropy. The James W. Foley Legacy Foundation is relatively […]

It’s quite clear the left has settled on a policy of zero tolerance when it comes to even the slightest indiscretion on the part of individuals. Oh, sure, we know the double standard. With only a handful of exceptions (think Gary Hartpence—aka Gary Hart, and perhaps John Edwards), the left is extremely tolerant of the […]
