Rescuing Our Kids and Country From Karl Marx — Steve Farrell
By Steve Farrell It bears repeating: If we hope to halt, reverse and permanently alter America's descent into the gutter of debauchery and that political tyranny that is forever its companion — "education is the key."

The Greatest Threat to Our Future — Ezra Taft Benson

Social Issues vs. Fiscal Issues — Phyllis Schlafly

Bible Ignored, Father Mauled by Grizzly — Bryan Fischer
By Bryan Fischer History reveals that God’s covenant with an ancient nation suggests that one of the consequences for a nation which walks in his statues is that it will have nothing to fear from wild animals. “If you walk in my statutes...I will remove harmful beasts from the land” (Lev. 26:3,6).
