Mega-church Pastor Carl Lentz is facing criticism this week for not defending unborn babies when he had the chance. Lentz, the pastor of the influential Hillsong Church in New York City, appeared on “The View” last week to talk about his ministry. And the panel – a group of pro-abortion women who love to bash pro-life advocates – asked Lentz about his views on abortion. Rather than speak boldly about loving both the mother and her unborn child, Lentz side-stepped the question, The Federalist reports. “So, it’s not a sin in your church to have an abortion?” pro-abortion host Joy...

Vice President Joe Biden visited Delaware County this week, stumping for Democratic congressional candidate Bryan Lentz. In his remarks, Biden blamed the Bush Administration for the nations’ economic woes, further chastising the GOP for not “getting it.” As far as not getting it, it remained unclear as to which Bush Administration Biden was referring.

Democratic volunteers, including campaign workers for the Democratic candidate, Bryan Lentz, collected 3,800 signatures for Schneller. The campaign made no attempts to hide its involvement; Colleen Guiney, chairwoman of the Swarthmore Democrats and a woman whom Lentz this year called his most prolific signature-getter, was just one of the Democrats to circulate petitions for Schneller. The move is not illegal, although some in political circles...
