"We can do this without Congress": Obama working to unilaterally impose tax on cell phones.
A tax without the approval of Congress––without the approval of our elected representatives? Sounds like taxation without representation to me.
Wait, didn't we once fight a war over that? (To be fair, the American War of Independence was fought over a longer list of injustices, which can be read here.)
"If Christianity should happen to be true -- that is to say, if its God is the real God of the universe -- then defending it may mean talking about anything and everything. Things can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is false, but nothing can be irrelevant to the proposition that Christianity is true." -- G.K. Chesterton

News to Know: Why is Joshua Chellew less important than Trayvon Martin?
Why is Joshua Chellew less important than Trayvon Martin?
Mableton teens linked to gang are accused in beating death
Racism in any form or on any side is unequivocally wrong––and that includes ignoring stories which are uncomfortable and difficult to spin.
The fact that nobody wants to sell this story as an incident of race-based violence makes me suspicious. Perhaps it's only "racist" depending on who is attacking who. Or perhaps there's less racism than we're lead to believe.
What do you think?

News to Know: Obama & Marxicrat Party
Here's a fun exercise you can do with the kids:
Go to the Communist Party USA's website (CPUSA) and every time you read the words "Reds" or "Communist" replace them with "Democrat." It's like playing mad-libs, but with the freedom of the western world at stake.
Although, to be fair, you could nearly do the same exercise with the word 'Republican' rather than 'Democrat,' which ought to say something about the state of American politics. The primary difference between the parties, it seems, is that many Democrats are outright Marxists, and many Republicans are Socialists in Capitalist clothing. And since Socialism is the pit-stop on the way to Communism (read "Fascism"), most Republicans are merely Democrats that haven't hit ideological puberty yet.
