Do you remember when you were a child and your parents told you that sometimes going to the doctor meant feeling some pain, but that was the best way to get well the fastest?

Did you know that of the 60 million committed Christians in America only 30 million vote in any given election? That’s sad. And it must change.

Often I am asked whether I think the economic and political destruction of this thing we call "America" is merely a consequence of various unrelated actions, or if I think it is a course of deliberate actions set upon by people who [...]
