Every Issue is a Moral Issue - Michael Youssef - Townhall Conservative

Here are some excerpts from Mr. Youssef's article:

  • I submit that these so-called "social issues" mean more to "middle America" than Cafferty realizes. We call them "moral issues." To us, abortion is the slaughter of innocent human life, on a moral level with genocide or the slave trade.
  • What Cafferty doesn't understand is that every issue is a moral issue. The current bad economy didn't just happen. It was the direct result of immoral choices made by our leaders.
  • A candidate who doesn't value innocent life shouldn't be president. In 2002, Barack Obama voted to oppose the Induced Birth Infant Liability Act, outlawing infanticide of babies who survive late-term abortions. Mr. Obama didn't merely vote in favor of abortion, but in favor of killing babies outside the womb. A man whose moral compass is this defective cannot make moral decisions.
  • He promised an end to earmarks, a secure border, no lobbyists in his administration, no recess appointments, airing the healthcare debate on C-SPAN, elimination of failed programs—and he didn't keep even one of those promises. Candidate Obama opposed "same-sex marriage," but as president he nullified the Defense of Marriage Act. A record of broken promises does not equal moral leadership.

    Dems Call for More Gun Control in Light of Operation Fast and Furious - Katie Pavlich - Townhall Conservative

     The government, that is the BATF, a division of the justice department, engaged in the selling of firearms that they knew would reach the Mexican drug cartels. Weapons they knew would be used to kill innocent people and would be used against American border agents. In fact, "Operation Fast and Furious" as this ATF screwup is known, resulted in border agent Brian A. Terry, 40, being killed on December 14 near Rio Rico, Arizona.

    Now in hearings by the House oversight committee, Democratic members of congress are calling for tougher gun control laws.

    How about this instead. Why don't people call their representatives in congress and tell them clearly, that we want those persons responsible for "Operation Fast and Furious" held to9 the highest standards of the law, and that all involved in this stupid operation be charged and prosecuted, even if it goes all the way to the very top of our government.

    To find out where and how you can contact your representative go to this website and click on your state on the map. You will then see a list of your U.S. Senators and members of the hose, complete with their Washington office phone numbers, fax numbers, and a link to his or her's online contact form.

    Below are a couple of excerpts from Townhall columnist Katie Pavlich's article:

    • "The report calls for improvement of the nation’s gun laws “to assist law enforcement agents in their efforts to counter drug violence and firearms trafficking by Mexican drug cartels,” stating these are “common sense” ways to help.
    • “ATF tracing data indicates that the number of U.S. firearms seized in Mexico is increasing dramatically,” the report states.
    • Once again, U.S. government officials have been illegally trafficking the firearms, therefore more gun laws won’t stop illegal trafficking and will only punish law abiding citizens and impose on Second Amendment rights."

    The Green Jobs Fantasy - Mona Charen - Townhall Conservative

    The Green Jobs Fantasy - Mona Charen - Townhall Conservative

     "It's true that Spain has pursued the sort of policies Obama favors, but far from inaugurating a new green-technology era, Spain is floundering. According to the American Enterprise Institute, since 2000, Spanish taxpayers have spent $771,000 per job for each green job created. And each green job has been purchased at the cost of 2.2 jobs lost in other areas of the economy. Spain, its government close to insolvency, has been forced to reverse course, slashing subsidies for wind and solar power. Germany, too, whose citizens have paid 7.5 percent more for energy since the green subsidies were introduced, is reducing support for green sources of energy."
