Thought for the day: You must bring him to a condition in which he can practice self-examination for an hour without discovering any of those facts about himself which are perfectly clear to anyone who has ever lived in the same house with him or worked in the same office (from the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, page 25).

Foreign Policy Lessons From Fighting Muslim Pirates
Most Americans remain utterly ignorant of this nation’s first foreign war but that exotic, long-ago struggle set the pattern for nearly all the many distant conflicts that followed. Refusal to confront the lessons of the First Barbary War (1801-1805) has led to some of the silliest arguments concerning Iraq and Afghanistan, and any effort to apply traditional American values to our future foreign policy requires an understanding of this all-but-forgotten episode from our past.

The president-in-waiting wants to steal money from oil companies and, in an act of blessedness and benevolence, give a check of $1,000 to American “middle class” families, hoping, of course, that more people will vote for him in the upcoming election.
The latest economic proposal coming from Barak Obama is a socialist’s dream. The president-in-waiting wants to steal money from oil companies and, in an act of blessedness and benevolence, give a check of $1,000 to American “middle class” families, hoping, of course, that more people will vote for him in the upcoming election. The ripple effect of Obamanomics would be a disaster. Retirement portfolios would be hit hard since $10.1 billion was paid to shareholders in the form of dividends and stock buybacks by the oil companies. With profits down, exploration for new oil would be jeopardized. Supply and demand, something Obamanomics does not believe in, would be hit hard. Read full article by Gary DeMar (American Vision)

South Carolina colleges telling illegal students not to return: Republican state rep threatens to weaken immigration law
As they arrived home last week from their study groups and second jobs, a handful of college students across the Grand Strand found letters saying that, because they are in the U.S. illegally, this semester will be their last.
The letters are the result of a new immigration package signed into law last month after a yearlong public debate led in part by state Rep. Thad Viers (R-Myrtle Beach). Now, Viers says that law may go too far and pledged late last week to work on correcting it or changing its application.

Why We Left Islam: By Susan Crimp & Joel Richardson, editors
Powerfully written and deeply compelling. The penalty for renouncing Islam is death, which makes these accounts of people of conscience even more poignant by the realization that each of them lives under a death sentence. These brutally honest accounts shine the light of truth on what the media and politicians won't admit—Islam is NOT a “religion of peace” but instead is barbaric, repressive, and a nightmare for those living under it. Should be required reading for human rights activists and all those who value the dignity of the human person. (Hardback, 183 pages) Order now.
