Alcovy High School in Newton County, Ga., is in the middle of a controversy over separation of church and state, but this time it’s not inclusion of religion that’s at the root of the problem, but the exclusion. Students at Alcovy High have been studying Arthur Miller’s play “The Crucible,” which uses the Salem Witch Trials to comment on the communist hearings of the McCarthy era. As part of a project, some of the students produced a “Crucible” poster that features the phrase “God is dead,” which is a line from the play (as well as a famous line […]

Good News: US Taxpayers Now Funding Obamacare Propaganda Video Contest
August 20, 2013 by
Frankly, if creative-types somehow manage to put lipstick on the grotesque pig known as Obamacare, they deserve some sort of award. Too bad we’re paying for it. Think of it this way, young filmmakers — if you win Kathleen Sebelius’ propaganda contest , you might be able to afford the law’s rising premiums for a year or two. So congrats in advance, or something: The administration will partner with Young Invincibles, a non-profit youth issues organization, to run the contest, with the goal of reaching those younger Americans who are skeptical of the need for health coverage. Participants will […]
Obama and The Muslim Brotherhood vs. The “Axis of Reason”
August 20, 2013 by
It mirrors the geopolitical landscape during World War II, only this time the US is siding with the Nazis. Saudi Foreign Minister Sau’d Al-Faisal: The West Is Covering Up And Even Encouraging The Crimes Of The Muslim Brotherhood In Egypt (MEMRI) The UAE Foreign Minister, Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed al-Nahayan, has called for Gulf countries to unite against the Muslim Brotherhood because it “does not believe in the nation state. It does not believe in the sovereignty of the state.” Allies vs. America in Egypt. Israel, Saudis and U.A.E. Support Military Moves (Wall Street Journal) Israel warns US: Alienating […]
Administration has missed half of Obamacare statutory deadlines
August 19, 2013 by
According to the Congressional Research Service, the Obama administration has missed more than half the legal deadlines for implementation contained in the law. Forbes: In recent months, President Obama and his subordinates have waived or delayed a number of Obamacare’s notable features, such as the law’s employer mandate , and its procedures for protecting taxpayers from fraud and identity theft . Earlier this month, in that context, I obtained a heretofore-unpublished memorandum from the Congressional Research Service. The CRS, Congress’ non-partisan in-house think tank, compiled 82 deadlines that the Affordable Care Act mandates upon the first three years of […]
World leaders should unite to end anti-Christian persecution, Vladimir Putin says
August 19, 2013 by
MOSCOW, August 1, 2013 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – Vladimir Putin has urged the world’s political leaders to stop the violent persecutions against Christians that have erupted in many Middle Eastern countries. Speaking at a meeting with Orthodox Christian leaders in Moscow last week, the Russian President said he noted “with alarm” that “in many of the world’s regions, especially in the Middle East and in North Africa inter-confessional tensions are mounting, and the rights of religious minorities are infringed, including Christians and Orthodox Christians.” “This pressing problem should be a subject of close attention for the entire international community,” […]
What is Common Core Standards and Why We Need to Stop It
August 19, 2013 by
What is Common Core Standards? Common Core and aligned assessments violate three Federal Statutes. Student-tracking system collects personally identifiable data. Tests designed by Progressive reformers. Bill Ayers and George Soros are some of the people that are behind Common Core.  Common Core was created without public notice and is being imposed on schools with little […]
How the Sick, Disabled and Poor Suffer Under Obamacare
August 18, 2013 by
It would be impossible (and painful) to count the number of times President Obama has accused Republican officials of trying to “ deny 30 million people healthcare ”. Any criticism or highlighted flaw in Obamacare is deflected by the Administration as a terrible ploy on the part of the Republican Party to deny poor people access to care, to make the sick sicker or to add extra burdens to families already struggling to take care of disabled loved ones. Are the American people convinced by the Administration’s tactics? It’s hard to say. While poll numbers show the majority of […]
Can Obama write his own laws?
August 18, 2013 by
As a reaction to the crack epidemic of the 1980s, many federal drug laws carry strict mandatory sentences. This has stirred unease in Congress and sparked a bipartisan effort to revise and relax some of the more draconian laws. Traditionally — meaning before Barack Obama — that’s how laws were changed: We have a problem, we hold hearings, we find some new arrangement ratified by Congress and signed by the president. That was then. On Monday, Attorney General Eric Holder , a liberal in a hurry, ordered all U.S. attorneys to simply stop charging nonviolent, non-gang-related drug defendants with […]

States worried about Obamacare Navigators and privacy
August 18, 2013 by
Several state attorneys general have sent a letter to HHS Secretary Sebelius raising concern about the thousands of Obamacare navigators who will be assisting consumers using the state exchanges to purchase insurance. Apparently, HHS is taking numerous shortcuts in vetting these navigators, who will have access to the personal and private information of consumers when helping them to decide which insurance policy is right for them. The Hill: Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi argued late Friday that new hires under ObamaCare could threaten the private information of people trying to get health insurance. Bondi said that the Department of […]
New NSA Revelations Stir Congressional Concern: âIncredibly Troublingâ
August 17, 2013 by
WASHINGTON (AP) — New revelations from leaker Edward Snowden that the National Security Agency has overstepped its authority thousands of times since 2008 are stirring renewed calls on Capitol Hill for serious changes to NSA spy programs, undermining White House hopes that President Barack Obama had quieted the controversy with his assurances of oversight. An internal audit provided by Snowden to The Washington Post shows the agency has repeatedly broken privacy rules or exceeded its legal authority every year since Congress granted it broad new powers in 2008. A building on the National Security Administration (NSA) campus is seen […]
GOP Rep. Claims Hillary Clinton âScreamedâ at Member of Congress During Briefing Two Days After Benghazi â Hereâs the Stunning Reason Why
August 17, 2013 by
Speaking at a town hall meeting on Wednesday, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) claimed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton “screamed at a member of Congress” two days after the Benghazi attack for daring to classify the tragedy as terrorism. The alleged incident occurred during a briefing just two days after four Americans were killed in a fiery assault on a U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya. “Two days after this attack we were in a briefing with Hillary Clinton and she screamed at a member of Congress who’d dare suggest that this was a terrorist attack,” Kinzinger told constituents in […]

Obama outed on bin Laden raid? Where was he during Benghazi?
August 16, 2013 by
Reggie Love, Obama played cards Now that President Barack Obama’s former body man and still companion Reggie Love has let it out that Obama was playing cards during part of the raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan that killed al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, can he tell us where the president was on the night four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens were killed in Benghazi? “’…Most people were like down in the Situation Room and [President Obama] was like, “I’m not going to be down there, I can’t watch this entire thing,”’ Love recalled of the May 2011 raid during […]
Radio Host: Obama Was âPhotoshoppedâ Into Bin Laden Raid Situation Room Photo
August 16, 2013 by
On his AFA radio show Thursday afternoon, Bryan Fischer theorized that the White House digitally inserted President Obama into the iconic situation room photograph from the night of the 2011 raid on Osama bin Laden ‘s compound. As the evangelical host sees it, Obama initially did not want to be in the room in case the raid went poorly. But when it was successful, Fischer posited, the president had himself photoshopped into the image to look “on-point” and like he had “just left the golf course” to tend to the momentous raid. “If you go look at that picture, […]
Obama Bypassing Congress: Working To Unilaterally Impose Taxes On Cell Phones
August 16, 2013 by
In a previous article on Freedom Outpost , Obama’s plan to expand high speed internet in schools in order to allow students to “use digital notebooks and teachers to customize lessons” came with a price tag of $12 per cell phone over the next three years with the boast “we can do this without Congress.” The program, named ConnectED, has Obama so starry-eyed that he is prepared to unilaterally impose additional cell phone fees, bypassing Congress, whom he sees as recalcitrant. Opinion opposing the administration’s bypassing of Congress has evidently reached the White House resulting in the issuance of […]

The president and his Marxist friends would like the American people to turn in their guns. In Cuba, the first step taken by the Castro´s communist regime was to disarm the Cuban people so that a totalitarian regime could be implanted without opposition. Obama resembles Fidel Castro in this objective. Americans must never accept gun […]

It was President George W. Bush who began the federal intervention of education when he implemented the legislation known as the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) in 2002. The aim of NCLB was to standardize testing in all 50 states. It required 100% student competency targets. By threatening funding to the 50 states, the NCLB […]
