VACATION WITH CHRISTIAN PURPOSE:
REGISTER FOR CHARLESTON, SC REVOLUTIONARY WAR TOUR
History is "His story." Sadly, most of us learned history through the prism of secular teachers and secular textbooks. As a result, we didn't learn the truth at all.
No matter what time period or what country you might study, it's essential to learn how God and God's people played a role. That's why I want to urge you to seriously consider taking your family on the Christian-based War for Independence History Tour in historic Charleston, South Carolina between Sunday, April 29 and Friday, May 4, 2012.
I, Adam McManus, strongly urge that you take the time to investigate this amazing opportunity for you and your family to learn straight from the Christian historians who have researched the primary documents of the time.
Sign up BEFORE December 31st, and get a whopping 25% discount off the price of admission. Details below in action steps).
Watch this helpful 3-minute video below which summarizes the vision for your vacation with a Christian and historical purpose.
Bill Potter and Marshall Foster are top-shelf Christian historians who will give you a providential perspective on the lesser well known battles waged in the South for American liberty from England.

'I will miss seeing life through your eyes, as I enjoy doing through all the other children so much.
I will miss doing mommy things with you and for you.'
Michelle made the heartrending revelations after opening her message with an explanation about what her child's name had meant.

'They are truly saddened and disappointed to not have really known you.

NORMAN LEAR'S LEFT-WING PARANOIA ABOUT 'THE RIGHT'They're coming for your children! They're coming for the womenfolk! Then they're coming after you! Norman Lear, the famous television show producer, offered this hysterically paranoid assessment of the allegedly growing and presumably insidious power of "the right":
Liberal TV producer Norman Lear
Lear wrote: "I want to suggest that we lefties start laying claim to what we see as "sacred" and serve it up proudly to the religious right - to the James Dobson, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Karl Rove ... hatemongers, sheathed in sanctity, and to the Koch brothers, the types that fund them and use them so effectively for their own political power-grabbing purposes. Over the past several decades, the power-grabbing right has built a powerful infrastructure - radio and TV stations and networks. They've built think tanks, colleges and law schools."

GET READY FOR A OBAMA-CLINTON PRESIDENTIAL TICKETMy political prediction for 2012 (based on absolutely no inside information): Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden swap places. Biden becomes Secretary of State - a position he's apparently coveted for years. And Hillary Clinton, Vice President.
So the Democratic ticket for 2012 is Obama-Clinton.
Why do I say this? Because Obama needs to stir the passions and enthusiasms of a Democratic base that's been disillusioned with his cave-ins to regressive Republicans. Hillary Clinton on the ticket can do that.

TOURNAMENT OF ROSES TO OCCUPIERS: YOU CAN'T MARCH IN OUR PARADEAlthough an Occupy Wall Street protest group in Pasadena, Calif., tried to get a slot to march in the Rose Parade on Jan. 2, officials with the parade said no. The group now plans to march down the street behind a group of police cars that mark the end of the parade.
In November, the Occupy group announced its plans to "occupy" the parade, but the Pasadena Tournament of Roses provided a statement on Wednesday to CNSNews.com saying that protesters would "not be taking part in the Rose Parade" because only official entries, approved by the tournament well in advance of the event, can take part in the event.

HUGO CHAVEZ WONDERS IF USA GAVE HIM CANCER
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavezhinted that the U.S. may be behind a "very strange" bout of cancer affecting several leaders aligned with him in South America.
Chavez, speaking a day after Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, said the Central Intelligence Agency was behind chemical experiments in Guatemala in the 1940s and that it's possible that in years to come a plot will be uncovered that shows the U.S. spread cancer as a political weapon against its critics.

OBAMA MIGHT REFUSE TO MEET WITH FOREIGN LEADERThe Obama administration is weighing an unprecedented diplomatic act - whether to bar a friendly president from U.S. soil.
American officials were evaluating on Tuesday an awkward request from Yemeni strongman and longtime U.S. counterterrorism partner Ali Abdullah Saleh. Saleh has said he plans to come to the United States for medical treatment for injuries suffered in a June assassination attempt, and he has asked for a U.S. visa for entry to the country. Fearful of appearing to harbor an autocrat with blood on his hands, the Obama administration was trying to ensure that Saleh visits only for medical care and doesn't plan to stay, U.S. officials said.

NYT: OBAMA GAINS REPUTATION AS DISTANT IN WASHINGTON- Air Force One had just landed in Manchester, N.H., on a brisk Tuesday morning last month when President Obama made an admission to Valerie B. Jarrett, his close friend and senior adviser.
"I just called Reggie," Mr. Obama said. It was his first domestic trip without Reggie Love, the former Duke University basketball player who had been his constant companion and presidential "body man" until he left in November to study for his M.B.A. full time. "I miss him," the president confessed.
More noteworthy than Mr. Obama's spending the short flight calling his longtime aide is what he did not do: schmooze with Washington politicians. No one from the New Hampshire Congressional delegation traveled with Mr. Obama on the plane, a perk that presidents often offer to lawmakers to foster good will.
