Mega Church Pastor: Obama Legacy Is That He Destroyed The Experiment Called America (+video)

/3 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Western Journalism San Diego evangelical minister, James L. Garlow, says if history books are not distorted by today’s revisionistic tendencies, President Obama’s legacy should be that he’s responsible for “morally and economically destroying a wonderful experiment called America.”

In this two part video interview with Daily Caller, Pastor Garlow also says that President Obama’s Attorney General has brought the nation “legal anarchy.”

Garlow says, “I do not recall in my lifetime anything remotely close to what we are seeing. For the law enforcer in Washington D.C., the chief in America, to tell the Attorneys General across the states that you don’t have to enforce the law if you don’t like it. That is beyond anything I was taught in school. Rule of law and consent of the governed has been lost.”

/7 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: TPNNThis week U.S. Chamber of Commerce President Tom Donohue gave the Republican Party an ultimatum and threat, either pass amnesty or don’t even bother fielding a presidential candidate in 2016.

Popular conservative talk show host, constitutional scholar, and best selling author Mark Levin responded to Donohue in his usual sharp-tongued fashion (Listen Below), blasting Donohue and taking the liberty to “rename” the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. Chamber of Crony Capitalism…

This group he heads, the Chamber of Commerce, it’s not the Chamber of Commerce, it’s the Chamber of Crony Capitalism. That’s why I’ve done us all a favor and changed their name. It’s not the Chamber of Free Market Capitalism. It’s not the Chamber of Individual Liberty. It’s not the Chamber of Private Property Rights. It’s not the Chamber of Pro-Private Sector.

WATCH: Dianne Feinstein Calls GOP Push for More Benghazi Probes a ‘Lynch Mob’

/6 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: Washington Examiner Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein has called the demand by Capitol Hill Republicans for more Benghazi investigations a “lynch mob,” saying the matter already has received sufficient congressional oversight.

“I think it’s ridiculous. I think it’s a hunting mission for a lynch mob,” said the California Democrat during an interview with CNN’s “State of the Union” that aired Sunday.

Feinstein said several congressional committees, including her own, already have investigated the 2012 attacks that killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. And despite Republican accusations that the Obama administration has lied about its response to the attacks, she suggested those reports showed no maleficence by the White House.

When asked by show host Candy Crowley if those reports answered all pertinent questions regarding the attacks, Feinstein responded; “I believe they have.”

Diabetic Pastor Sues After Being Arrested, Denied Food and Water for Holding Pro-Life Sign

/5 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: LifeSiteNewsA pastor who says he was arrested and denied food and water for hours because he held a pro-life sign has sued, saying city laws violate his First Amendment right to free speech.

On March 30, 2011, Pastor Stephen Joiner was driving through the streets of Columbus, Mississippi, when he saw dozens of members of Pro-Life Mississippi peacefully holding signs supporting the unborn child’s right to life. He pulled over and learned they were trying to build support for the state’s Personhood Amendment, which failed to pass the following November.

Joiner, the pastor of the city’s Church of the Nazarene, supported the cause, so he picked up a sign and stood alongside them. Some were displaying photographs of victims of abortion, sometimes called “graphic images.” Others merely showed an unborn child in the womb.

Joiner says that Police Captain Frederick Shelton told him to move, because he was blocking traffic, although he was several feet from the road.


“Captain Shelton then told Pastor Joiner that he was ‘refusing to move when an officer tells him to move,’” according to a legal complaint filed in U.S. District Court on Joiner’s behalf by Liberty Counsel. Captain Shelton charged him with violating the city’s Parade Ordinance and Handbill Ordinance.

Obama “Madder than Hell” Over VA, But Who Actually Has The Scars?

Photo Credit: WNDIt seems fair to suggest Barack Obama’s chief of staff Dennis McDonough could have made some better word choices when discussing Obama’s feelings regarding the ongoing Veteran’s Administration scandal with Major Garrett.

DENIS McDONOUGH: ..the President is madder than hell, and I’ve got the scars to prove it given, briefings that I’ve given the President and the conversations that he and Rick and I have had on these matters…but at the same time that we’re looking at accountability we want to continue to perform to provide our veterans the services that they have earned ….

Even NYT Thinks Colleges Are Taking Political Correctness Too Far

/1 Comment/in , /by

Photo Credit: Daily Caller Trigger warnings–the authoritarian left’s latest attempt to patrol speech at college campuses–have been on the radar of civil libertarians for some time, but now even The New York Times is upset about them.

In a news article titled, “Warning: The Literary Canon Could Make Students Squirm,” NYT writer Jennifer Medina bemoaned that students at many campuses are eager to force professors to post warning labels on their syllabi:

Should students about to read “The Great Gatsby” be forewarned about “a variety of scenes that reference gory, abusive and misogynistic violence,” as one Rutgers student proposed? Would any book that addresses racism — like “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” or “Things Fall Apart” — have to be preceded by a note of caution? Do sexual images from Greek mythology need to come with a viewer-beware label?

Colleges across the country this spring have been wrestling with student requests for what are known as “trigger warnings,” explicit alerts that the material they are about to read or see in a classroom might upset them or, as some students assert, cause symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder in victims of rape or in war veterans.

The Times notes that University of California-Santa Barbara students have been most successful at pushing trigger warnings, though notable calls to embolden the speech police have come out of Rutgers University, Wellesley College and George Washington University as well.

Gun Control Proponent: Addressing Sexual Assault Shouldn’t Be Tied to Arming Women

/3 Comments/in , /by

Photo Credit: APAs Safe Campus Colorado pushes for a November ballot initiative to ban concealed carry on college campuses in that state, its founder, Ken Toltz, says suggestions of arming more women to fight the growing epidemic of sexual assaults on campus is not the way to go.

According to Toltz, “The statistics are really worrisome about how prevalent sexual assault is on college campuses. We’re not doing enough, and handing out guns is not the solution.”

According to Boulder’s The Daily Camera, Toltz also said those who defend concealed carry as a way for women to fight sexual assault “politicize” and conflate two issues – sexual assault and concealed carry – which ought to be dealt with separately.

Photo Credit: APA new poll shows that one-in-four Americans, 25%, are satisfied with the direction of the country at this time but 74% expressed dissatisfaction.

In the survey, which Gallup has done regularly since 1979, Americans were asked this question: “In general, are you satisfied or dissatisfied with the way things are going in the United States at this time?”

Only 25% said “satisfied.” According to Gallup, “74% express dissatisfaction.”

“Americans’ satisfaction with the country’s direction has remained flat over the past year, with the major exception of a drop to a low of 16% in October 2013 during the U.S. federal government shutdown,” said Gallup…

Poll Finds Wide Support for Voter ID Laws

/1 Comment/in , /by

Photo Credit: TownHall Once again, registered voters have shown that they are overwhelmingly in favor of voter ID laws, a recent Fox News poll found.

“There is a debate about state laws that require voters to show a valid form of state-or federally-issued photo identification to prove U.S. citizenship before being allowed to vote,” the question stated. “Supporters of these laws say they are necessary to stop ineligible people from voting illegally. Opponents say these laws are unnecessary and mostly discourage legal voters from voting. What do you think?”

Seventy percent of respondents said voter ID laws are “needed to stop illegal voting,” while 27 percent said these laws are “unnecessary and discourage legal voting.”

The survey found majorities of every demographic support the law. Ninety-one percent of Republicans offer support, and 66 percent of independents feel the same.
