Do adults need to play "what if" games?

By Gordon Garnos

THE ISSUE: When our children were small, they seemed to always be asking, "What if...?" Usually these were innocent little questions, but once the game got under way, there was no stopping the what ifs. These kids seemed to search into the depths of their thinking to come up with another "What if?" After a while this game got a little tiring. "What if...?" seems to be a universal question for both our little ones and a lot of adults as well, as you will see. (Full Story)

Texas: Is Death Row Safer Than a Hospital Bed?

THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD

By Carrie K. Hutchens

The article on DallasNews.com, "Boy at center of life-support case dies" by Michael Grabell (May 30, 2007) covers the story of two year old Daniel Wayne Cullen II, who was born premature and with severe breathing problems. A story that takes us to his eventual hospitalization and the ethic's committee deeming him futile. A story of a mother's fight to save her son and the reprieve she won in his behalf. (Full Story)

Democrats Got Religion

Have you noticed lately that it seems like federal Democrats have got religion? Don't worry: it won't last. But when you do hear it, just remember for these national socialists, Christianity isn't something that happens inside a person, and it certainly has nothing to do with try to be holy as God has commanded us to do.

Frank Pastore in his TownHall.com piece knows exactly what's up:

The actors knew the script. Director Wallis had coached them well. Real Christians care about poverty and global warming. No more of that sin-salvation-Jesus stuff for us. Don’t talk about heaven and hell, we’re for the Kingdom now! Let’s raise taxes and the minimum wage, grow government, start more unions, provide universal health care and child care, with free college for everybody–including illegals. And above all, let’s replace greedy-selfish capitalism with generous-loving socialism and truly achieve social justice. Vote out poverty now! Raise taxes on the rich!

Folks like Hillary Clinton and most of her Democrat competitors have religion, but it isn't Christianity. It's a religion that worships man as the ultimate force of reason in the universe. That's why it's okay in their view for "every man to do what's right in his own eyes."

Theirs is also a religion which worships the "Government god." For liberals, they see government as the almighty entity which cares for people (kind of a "Government-Jireh"). They see government as being the one to whom we can go for all our answers and all our solutions. Government can do anything and be anything and fix anything. It is all powerful, and the source from which all blessings flow.

And since they also worship the reason of man, this goes hand in hand with their worship of government. Because government is made up of many men. You can trust a group of bureaucrats that make up government; you can't, however, trust an individual man. He might think for himself, and get off the plantation.

So when Dems try to fool you into thinking they've got religion, just remember what kind of religion it is that they've got.

South Dakota's Healthy Economy

Despite what the doom-and-gloomers who can never be pleased if someone makes more money than they do, South Dakota's economy is doing alright, according to KOTA and a report from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

We're doing better than most states, and are in the second highest quintile:

Nationally, South Dakota had the 16th highest growth rate. In the seven state Plains Region (IA, KS, MN, MO, NE, ND and SD) South Dakota posted the highest growth rate.

Thank God for a prosperous nation and a prosperous state!

Terrorists Cross Border

Need a reason beyond just upholding our laws to secure our borders?

From NewsMax:

Counterterrorism authorities have come to fear that the porous U.S.-Mexico border provides entry into the United States, not only for illegal aliens, but for Islamic terrorists as well.

And these same Islamic terrorists may also be using Mexico as the conduit to bring nuclear devices into the U.S. for a WMD attack. These are among the chilling disclosure from Paul L. Williams, author of the just-released book "The Day of Islam: The Annihilation of America and the Western World."

According to Williams, al-Qaida has already hatched plans to smuggle nuclear materials across the Mexican border and use them for a mammoth simultaneous attack on several large U.S. cities.

Terrorists would be fools not to take advantage of our essentially open border.
