We The People, and our elected representatives in Congress and state legislatures, can make policy that prohibits the government from violating our rights. This is why the First Amendment Defense Act is so vitally important. If passed and signed into law, this act would prohibit the federal government from ever discriminating against any citizen, charity, school or business because they embrace and act on the belief that marriage is the union of a man and woman.

Not good enough. If America defies God by embracing sodomite marriage, America will lose God’s blessing and protection. End of story.

One problem as I see it is that conservatives are lazy about regaining control of education. We too often don’t bother to vote in races for college administration and state level department of education slots.

So far, and I agree it doesn’t go far enough...but, so far this is the only plan I’ve seen. Jim DeMint strikes me as trying to do the right thing.

A two step Xzins plan:

1. Place locks on ALL televisions, broadcast, commo devices in the home.

2. Send children to Christian school, online school, or home school.

“Congress can still vote to repeal Obamacare”


Stopped reading after that idiocy. ZERO chance they’ll do that. But for 1 or 2 that’s nothing but blather.

See #5. The bible says that the way we train our children is the way they will think. (Train a child in the way he should go, and he’ll not depart from it when he is old.)

IOW, I agree with you.

1. FLOOD public education with Christian teachers.

2. Fully support Christian, online, home schooling alternatives.

Can’t do anything.

McConnell said so — it is fixed law now.

Boehner? He is still giddy over being invited to fly on AF1.

==

Wasn’t it McConnell a couple of years ago claiming Pubbies had learned their lesson from the last time they had majorities in both chambers so now they know how to govern?

It seems that all they know is fold, bend over, capitulate, compromise and give up any leverage they have via The Constitution.

==

Vote Republican?

Again, that isn’t working out so well.

Too bad there isn’t much of an alternative from the Demicans and Republicrats.

Uh, America defied God long ago and only continues to deepen its rebellion:

1. Prayer outlawed in schools;
2. Roe v. Wade = millions of murders since;
3. Being anti-Israel;

At best, this is #4 in the progression.......AND Obama’s 1st election and then 2nd election ARE indeed God’s judgment on us.

Read, “and God gave them OVER.....” in Romans 1. These are just evidences to our being given over.........

But fasten your seatbelt - these are just the birthpangs - much worse is to come........

Marshall law and a full-blown dictatorship are highly likely next year......IMHO........

He said ‘can’, and to be honest with you, this ObamaCare is absolutely flawed. The Dems will start filing constitutional complaints themselves shortly, just so John Roberts can fix it for them. :>)

Premiums are going up, co-pays are going up, and there is zero relief from high deductibles. In essence, people have no health care.

This will have to be completely changed. In reality the easiest change is to ‘replace’ it with what we had before ObamaCare....own doctors, own hospitals, right to buy catastrophic care if we so wished, etc.

It had the best doctors in the world in the best hospitals in the world, and the world came to America for care.

ObamaCare was one concern.

The major thrust of the article is about homosexual marriage and protection of religious beliefs of dissenters.

We MUST NOT quietly allow legislators to pick their cowardly path through a critical issue.

True, but it’s damned hard for conservatives to get involved. Do you think, for example, a public school would EVER ALLOW you, or me, or some other retired or semi retired business person, to come in and teach the young skulls full of mush about the free market? Hell no.

The only way I could get involved with education was thru home schooling, which we did, and we raised 2 solid 100% conservatives and one 80% conservative. Much better track record than the lo fos coming from public schools, and too many private schools too.

:What do we do now?:

May I put forth the radical notion that we collectively, “we” being conservatives rid ourselves here and everywhere of people that spout liberalism in all it’s forms and actually live by the conservative principles we CLAIM we hold?

Because, you know, these psuedocons ARE the enemy within that have done nothing but ensure ‘lesser evil’ is what holds power.

DeMint does not say this explicitly, but rebalancing the USSC could mean that this case could be revisited from a different angle and its mandate undone

So yes, could well BE “good enough.”

> “Congress can still vote to repeal Obamacare and ***replace*** it with patient-focused, market-based healthcare reforms that will truly serve all Americans.”

No Jim. Government should not be ‘replacing’ anything in Healthcare markets. We’ll handle marketing just fine thank you.

Government’s role here is safety and security of medicines and treatments, nothing more.

> “First, elections have consequences. The marriage ruling was 5-4. Two of the justices voting to redefine marriage were appointed by President Obama. The next president is expected to have the opportunity to appoint as many as four Supreme Court justices.”

Jim, it’s ‘primaries’ that have consequences. GOPe gave us Romney. Romney is one of the biggest liars we’ve ever seen and it’s so easy to see through him. Regardless what this cretin says, Romney supports universal healthcare aka socialist healthcare and homosexual normalization of perversion.

Jim, let’s cut to the chaste, you’re not in tune man. Get out, see people and calibrate yourself. Your heart’s in the right place but your perspective is dated.

One thing liberals like to do is blaspheme as many things as possible...

Just a thought for you on the way to your mirror.
