Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is criticizing President Obama for his comments about a mass shooting at a community college in Oregon that left 9 dead. “Unfortunately that is the approach with President Obama on every issue, is that he seeks to tear us apart, he seeks to politicize it and it’s worth remembering he is ideological and he’s a radical,” Cruz said on "The Mark Levin Show," as first reported by Buzzfeed News. “You know, as his former chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel said, ‘you never let a good crisis go to waste,’ and that is sadly his approach.” The...

A gunman singled out Christians, telling them they would see God in “one second,” during a rampage at an Oregon college Thursday that left at least nine innocent people dead and several more wounded, survivors and authorities said. “[He started] asking people one by one what their religion was. ‘Are you a Christian?’ he would ask them, and if you’re a Christian, stand up. And they would stand up and he said, ‘Good, because you’re a Christian, you are going to see God in just about one second.’ And then he shot and killed them,” Stacy Boylen, whose daughter was...

Friday in a press conference at the White House, President Barack Obama mocked gun rights activists as “absolutists” and declared they “think that any gun safety measures are somehow an assault on freedom or communistic or a plot by me.” Obama said, “And if we’re going to do something about that, the politics has to change.

10:30 a.m. Pacific time: Shots fired in Snyder Hall. Officers responded almost immediately, requesting medical assistance and backup. Early reports indicated as many as 20 were wounded. 10:43 a.m.: Officers locate suspect, a male, on campus. 10:44 a.m.: Gunfire exchanged between officers and suspect. Thirty-five people reported inside building; campus is locked down. 10:49 a.m: Suspect confirmed dead

In yet another example of the overwhleming hypocrisy that comes with every action taken by the Obama administration, we recently learned that the Obama team has arrested and detained 20 Christian refugees who were fleeing from ISIS. It's interesting because of the Obama administrations long track record of doing nothing to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the country. However, now that it is a group of Christians seeking asylum Team Obama suddenly becomes vigilant about the border? Miraculously, 20 Christians escaped the clutches of ISIS in Iraq and made their way to the U.S. Now they’ve been detained...

Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump began his campaign rally Thursday in New Hampshire by taking questions from the crowd. The first questioner called US President Barack Obama a Muslim, accused him of not being an American, and asked Trump when America can get rid of Muslim "training camps" in the US.

Exactly right: "Let me be very clear: I will not name the shooter." Sheriff John Hanlin said during a Thursday night briefing at a fire station near the Roseburg campus. "I will not give him credit for this horrific act of cowardice." He encouraged the news media and community to "avoid using it, repeating it, or engaging in any glorification and sensationalization of him. "He in no way deserves it," he said. "Focus your attention on the victims and their families and helping them to recover." Chris Mintz is the name we should know about. Not the other guy. Giving...

An Obama mini-me murders Christians in Oregon. Obama races to the podium to blame "guns". However, is the TRUE culprit in this shooting Barack Obama himself, and his War On Christians? Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson and others have famously called Obama out in the public square over his anti-Christian rhetoric, and have even accused Obama of conducting a "War On Christians", with little or no rebuttal from Obama's Hate House. Is Barack Obama the modern equivalent of England's King Henry II, who faced determined opposition from the Christian leader Thomas Becket? Finally, in a fit of rage over...

You need to know three things about the Oregon killings, the latest senseless act of hate directed at Christians in America. The father of shooting victim Anastasia Boylan, who was shot in the back and survived, said this after talking to his daughter before her surgery about Christopher Harper Mercer’s killing spree at a Rosewood, Oregon community college. I don’t know how much time elapsed before he was able to stand there and start asking people one by one what their religion was. ‘Are you a Christian?’ he asked them. And if you’re a Christian stand up, and he said ‘Good....

"Somehow this has become routine," Obama also said, adding, "We've become numb to this." Ha! What a fool! "Numb to this?!" Obama is somewhat correct, but we--and he--should ask: why? Why have we become so "numb?" We are certainly not numb because of guns. If any of us are numb to the slaughter of our fellow citizens, it is significantly due to the many lies promoted my modern liberalism and the "values" it promotes. And speaking of "politicizing" things, given their rabid support for killing the most helpless and innocent among us--the unborn--when it comes to any form of violence--or...

Gunman ID'd: 'You are going to see God in just about 1 second' Chris Harper-Mercer, 26, has been identified by law-enforcement officials as the gunman who shot and killed at least 10 people and injured 20 at a community college in Roseburg, Oregon, according to the New York Times. “He appears to be an angry young man who was very filled with hate,” one law-enforcement official said. Officials said Mercer lived in the area but was not a student at the college. Douglas County Sheriff John Hanlin said the gunman was killed during a confrontation with officers shortly after they...

The media knows that the more attention that they pay to mass killing perpetrators, the more incentive they create for mass killings.  The effect is known as the “Copycat Effect“.  It is a well known and researched phenomena.  Endless promotion of these tragic events and the publicity given to the perpetrators is far more of a causal factor than the Second Amendment.CBS news relates the latest evidence that media coverage of his name and face was one of the primary motivations for the Umpqua shooter.   From cbsnews.com: In one post on the blog about Vester Flanagan, the man who...
