Heritage Foundation Discretionary Spending Cuts Alone Will Not Balance the Budget

Annual spending on entitlement programs is massive compared to other federal spending priorities. Cutting discretionary spending is necessary, but cuts to foreign aid alone or pulling out of Afghanistan will not close the deficit. Entitlement programs must be reformed.  Read More......

America's Problems

Decades ago, politicians promised Baby Boomers health and retirement benefits but provided no way to pay for them. Now we are faced with the consequences of their neglect. U.S. debt held by the public equals nearly 70 percent of GDP and is rapidly growing.

Medicare and Social Security face nearly $40 trillion in long-term unfunded obligations - over $200,000 for every American. We cannot leave these burdens for our children and grandchildren. We must begin now to solve these problems. And we all must share the burdens those solutions will entail.  Read Heritage's Plan

 GUNS IN OTHER COUNTRIES

Myth: Countries with strict gun control have less crime
Fact: In America, we can demonstrate that private ownership of guns reduces crime, but from country to country there is no correlation between gun availability and the violent crime rate. 
By using detailed data, we can contrast the per capita homicide rate with the per capita gun ownership rate between different industrialized countries Contrasting the data shows zero correlation between the availability of guns and the overall homicide rate.  Read More......

So What Is an 'Assault Rifle' Really? We Look at the Definitions and How the Term Is 'Demonized'

Make a promise to yourself that you will stop calling rifles 'assault weapons.'"

That's what Glenn Beck said on his morning radio show Thursday as he discussed AR-15s. But why? Is an AR-15 not an assault rifle? Does the "AR" in AR-15 not stand for "assault rifle"?

Gun Experts Decry Use of the Term Assault to Describe Civilian Firearms
A man with an AR-15, which is a semi-automatic rifle allowed for civilian ownership.  

 

It doesn't. In fact, it doesn't mean "automatic rifle" either, as many might think. AR actually stands for ArmaLite rifle, which is the company that first developed it in the 1950s.

   American Thinker The Budget: Where Do We Go from Here?

Whatever one thinks of the sequester agreement, it is only one stage in a campaign on the budget that we are going to have this year.  The next battle will be the debt ceiling.  What are we going to do about that?

The first thing to realize is that we are going to do something about it.  That is not a choice.  We are at the limit of our borrowing.  The issue is on the table.  A decision is going to be made. Read More......  

 

 

In the coming New Year, 2013, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union
address will occur on the same day.
This is an ironic juxtaposition of events. One involves a meaningless ritual in which
we look to an insignificant creature of little intelligence for prognostication.


The other involves a groundhog. .

January 7, 2013 by Bob Livingston    

  

The psychopathic political elites use controlled chaos to advance their agenda of continued theft of wealth and liberties and gradual march to one world government.

The recent "fiscal cliff" negotiations are a perfect example of this controlled chaos. Their chaos is the result of ongoing manufactured crises, one piled upon the other.  Read More......

   Books TEXAS TEACHING 'ALLAH IS THE ALMIGHTY GOD'


In the 70 percent of Texas public schools where a private curriculum has been installed, students are learning the "fact" that "Allah is the Almighty God," charge critics of a new online curriculum that already is facing condemnation for its secrecy and restrictions on oversight.

The program, called CSCOPE, is a private venture operating under the umbrella of the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative, whose incorporation documents state its independence from the State Board of Education of the Texas Education Agency.

Other reports previously have raised alarm over the curriculum's depiction of the Boston Tea Party as a terrorist act on par with the 9/11 attack.

CSCOPE OR CSCAM?

Cscope,Curtain

As a retired Texas pubic school teacher, the recent concerns being raised over CSCOPE curriculum sparked my interest.
 
I wanted to know more about the business side of CSCOPE, so I  filed a Public Information Request for the meeting minutes of their governing board. Instead of finding answers, all I found were more questions.

A Special Version of Hallelujah With a Christian Twist!  
It seems like the song Hallelujah has been covered by a lot of artists these days. While it's a beautiful song, the meaning is far from Christian. One Christian band decided to take the beautiful melody of the song and give it a Christian twist. You will LOVE this!
