THE PRESIDENCY 

Mitt Romney avoids social issues - The Republican convention is over and the race between Obama's vision and Romney's vision for the American economy is all we are supposed to look at. There is much more to consider. Along with the Obama entitlement state comes same-sex marriage, abortion on demand, and control of the church pulpit by the government. Unfortunately the Romney camp doesn't seem concerned with these issues. They should be, since many voters who vote Republican do so for other than economic reasons.

Ads tell truth about Obama - The Religious Freedom Coalition has been conducting an aggressive campaign to stop the war on religious freedom being waged by the Obama Administration. During this critical year of decision the Religious Freedom Coalition will run advertisements in key newspapers asking Congress to curtail Barack Obama's secularist agenda of radically changing our nation.

CONGRESS 

Both Houses in recess - The House will reconvene on Monday, September 10th, with the first vote occurring after 6:30 PM. Although the media would like to portray any recess as a "vacation," that is far from the truth. Most congressmen work six days a week in their district offices, meeting with constituents. Each congressman has more than a quarter of a million people in his or her district, many of whom demand direct contact which they can't get when the congressman is in Washington, DC.
The Todd Akin saga - According to the leftist media and Republican political strategist Karl Rove, the candidacy of Congressman Todd Akin for Senate is an insult to the entire nation. Todd Akin, according to the radical left and the Republican establishment, is either an idiot or a women hater. What is the real problem with Todd Akin? It's that he believes life begins at conception. By siding with the far left to destroy Todd Akin, the Republican Establishment could be tossing out victory this fall. Read more here
It gets worse: Karl Rove actually joked about murdering Todd Akin. As chairman of GING-PAC I demanded Rove apologize. Full story here.
Congressmen defend Jesus statue - Eighteen members of the House of Representatives signed an amicus curiae brief filed by the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) urging a federal court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the Freedom from Religion Foundation against a World War II memorial statue of Jesus in Montana's Flathead National Forest.

RELIGION AND CULTURE 

School district can't kick out Christian club - A federal appeals court ruled today that the Minneapolis Special School District No. 1 engaged in viewpoint discrimination when it removed Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) from the after-school program. "When the government targets a particular viewpoint taken by speakers on a general subject, the First Amendment is violated," said a representative of Liberty Counsel which represented CEF in this case. Read more Foot notes in Army report reveal truth about killings The foot notes in a report from last May by the US Army that is now declassified, exposed the truth about the killings of U.S troops by Afghan soldiers and police. The cause, despite the public claims otherwise, is Islam. The report itself white washes the facts, but the footnotes they forgot to erase tell the truth. Read more.

INTERNATIONAL  

Ramadan Rampage - The month of Ramadan proved to be a month of renewed Muslim piety on the one hand, and renewed oppression of non-Muslim minorities on the other. In Nigeria, for example, Islamic militants are living up to the assertion that "Ramadan is a month of jihad and death for Allah," proving that killing Christians is not only reserved for Christian holidays-like Christmas and Easter, when militants bombed churches killing dozens-but is especially applicable during Islam's Ramadan.

Pakistan: 14-year-old Christian girl faces death - A Christian girl with Down's Syndrome has been arrested on blasphemy charges in Pakistan, accused of burning pages inscribed with verses from the Koran.

THE PRESIDENCY
Obama increases lead - According to a new Fox News poll, Barack Hussein Obama has increased his lead over Mitt Romney in the last 30 days. Obama now leads Romney by 9 points according to the poll. An associate of mine who operates a poll by cell phone, shows Obama ahead by only four points. In electoral votes Obama is up 370 to 145 according to most polls. With nearly 50% of Americans receiving government checks of some kind, Obama is going to be harder to beat with Romney concentrating just on economic issues. Mitt Romney's refusal to bring social issues into the process may lose him the election.

Romney digs hole deeper on social issues - Despite losing ground in the polls as he tries to run only on economic issues, Mitt Romney took time out to attack the Boy Scouts. Yes ... the Boy Scouts. His spokeswoman said on the issue that Romney still stands by his 1994 statement in which he said "I feel that all people should be able to participate in the Boy Scouts regardless of their sexual orientation."

INTERNATIONAL
Afghanistan: Three US troops killed by Afghan police chief - The American media is reporting that a man "dressed as" an Afghan soldier killed three U.S. servicemen. This is a deception.
