President Obama is making history again, this time with his record-breaking new budget of $3.8 trillion, which includes a record-breaking deficit of $1.3 trillion.
For those of you trying to squeeze that into your calculator, that’s spending beyond our means of $1,300,000,000,000.00!
In one year.
It’s no surprise that our big-spending President is asking our big-spending Congress to [...]

In this week’s State of the Union Address, President Obama said:
“We find unity in our incredible diversity, drawing on the promise enshrined in our Constitution: the notion that we are all created equal….”
Wrong founding document, Mr. President.   The word “equal” did not enter the Constitution until the ratification of the 14th Amendment in 1868.    [...]

In January of 1984, President Ronald Reagan used part of his State of the Union Address to promote the freedom to acknowledge God in public schools:
[E]ach day your members observe a 200-year-old tradition meant to signify America is one nation under God. I must ask: If you can begin your day with a member of [...]

the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise

that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his

Whenever something worthwhile circulates on the internet, about a dozen people will take it upon themselves to send me a copy. One recent submission is titled “Letter from Jesus about Christmas.”
The writer suggests that if Jesus were to write a letter to us about Christmas, He would urge us to redirect our priorities. [...]

President Obama may be playing Santa Claus with our tax dollars, but he’s being a Grinch when it comes to Christmas.  Obama claims to be a Christian, but according to his “social secretary” he is planning a “non-religious Christmas.” What does such a Christmas celebration look like?  According to Eric Metaxas,
[I]t’s just like a “non-religious” [...]

Much is being made of the political correctness that failed to prevent Muslim terrorist Major Nadal Hasan from turning on his fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood, and rightly so; but the political correctness that disarms soldiers on post made Hasan’s victims the sitting ducks they were. In “How ‘gun control’ aided and abetted [...]

Historians and academicians like to rank American presidents, but often their liberal bias seeps in and tilts the scale in favor of centralizing and big government presidents of the past (and present).
Our 11th President, James Knox Polk, was born this day, November 2, in 1795. Polk was elected in 1844 and while he may not [...]

In addition to litigation and legal briefs, the Foundation for Moral Law works to educate the American people and public officials about the First Amendment and America’s Christian heritage.  We have held seminars for pastors in the past and this year we launched a new Continuing Legal Education seminar specifically for lawyers: “Church, State, and [...]

In this growing trend of bestowing undeserved awards (ahem), Christopher Columbus is once being labeled a bad guy for the very thing for which he was once lauded: boldly sailing the “ocean blue” and discovering the New World, the Americas, and connecting it ever after with the Old World.  Rather than celebrating Columbus as a [...]
