Freedom of Religion for All or None

By Joe Messina

I recently read a story about a public school that took students on a field trip to a mosque. At first, I was outraged, as were many of my fellow conservatives. How dare they spend my tax money to go to such a place of hate and an enemy to Americans, those jihadist-loving Muslims. To top it off, the kids were given Qurans and were forced to listen to Muslim scriptures read from their book. Then I heard it, that little voice in the back of my head... you hypocrite! Who me? Really? No way! But as I thought about the term "hypocrite," that's exactly what those thoughts were, hypocritical. [more...]

Why the GOP Effort to Shut Down the Government in Order to Kill Obamacare is a Political Disaster in the Making

By John LeBoutillier

On this week's two versions of the POLITICAL INSIDERS, we take an in-depth look at the GOP/Tea Party strategy to shut down the Federal Government next week. Will this help - or hurt - the economy? Will it result in ridding the nation of Obamacare? Will it help the GOP politically or cripple it? Will it actually give President Obama even more political and executive power?

For a government to be truly uninvolved with any endeavor (such as education), it cannot be its source of income. Providing money entails issuing guidelines on how it can be spent. Providing a quarter of a budget thus translates into control over a quarter of the funded entity; paying three quarters means controlling three quarters. This reality is echoed in the old Yiddish saying, "Those who pay have the say." Accordingly, if the public voted to keep the government away from the moral pursuits of the people, it could no longer fund them. How should government aid to the universities and their students be seen? Is supporting higher education a civic or a moral pursuit? [more... ]

Parent's Arrest is a Call to Arms against Common Core and Thug Bureaucracy

By Kyle Olson

Yesterday's shocking story from Maryland shows the wheels are falling off the Common Core cart. Parent Robert Small wasn't pleased by the pro-Common Core propaganda show being put on by his local school district, so he decided to stand up at the phony town hall meeting and ask a few questions to his state's education leaders. What unfolded should shock every American, regardless of their feelings about Common Core national standards. What we learned is this...  [more...]
