…es in Saudi Arabia for 12 years and says he’s “experienced [shari’ah] first-hand.” Is the U.S. on the verge of becoming Saudi Arabia, I asked? “Saudi Arabia is a very extreme example of shari’ah and Iran would be another extreme example,” said Gay, “but that’s where we’re going if we defer to the radicals who are at war with us.” Why doesn’t a red-blooded, tea party Republican like Gay think America can stand up to this, uh, threat? “Americans nee…

By Elizabeth Drescher

…was famously nicknamed, from his far more genial, if no less conservative predecessor, John Paul II. As Catholics and other Christians ready themselves for the season of prayer, penitence, and self-denial that anticipates the resurrection of Jesus Christ that will be celebrated by a newly-elected pope this year in St. Peter’s Square, it seems only fitting to consider whether Benedict’s legacy itself can be redeemed. Or, perhaps we might pray that…

…e holy God of Israel that American politics is an abomination to Him. A pro-homosexual Mormon along with a pro-abortion/homosexual, Muslim Brotherhood promoter, Hard Left Fascist are running for president. And there is no cry of repentance from God’s people! I see this storm as a warning from the LORD to call His church to repentance, This might be the last call from the Holy God of Israel. Of course, all this insane talk completely disregards the…
