Tim LaHaye, the co-author of the best-selling Christian book series “Left Behind,” and his wife, Beverly, plan to endorse Newt Gingrich’s bid for president, The Daily Caller has learned from three sources.

I just have a gut feeling that this nation has gone downhill on morals and ethics so far that Santorum just doesn’t have a chance in the general. If I had my choice it would have been Palin with her strong stance or even Santorum on social issues.

While Obama has shocked the nation back from the left a little it’s not going to jump way to the right.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
As Ronald Reagan would say: There you go again... RAPTURE READY?
