San Antonio Christians Fight For Right Of Conscience!

Issues: 

The proposed San Antonio Non-Discrimination ordinance that Mayor Julian Castro would like passed is probably the most controversial issue that I can remember being argued in San Antonio. This issue has not only been in the local liberal media but has made the national media, both conservative and liberal. It is the Christians and those that want our 1st Amendment Right of Conscience from eroding further that strongly oppose this ordinance.

The local liberal media and at least one San Antonio radio talk show host,

Randy Neugebauer's Continued NSA Data Collection Concerns

Last month, I wrote to you about data collection by the National Security Agency (NSA). I explained then that I believed that the program should be continued. I based that decision on the information available to me about the program’s privacy protections and its success at stopping terrorist attacks. Since then, we’ve learned that the NSA has overstepped its legal authority and violated the privacy of American citizens. While some of these incidents were computer errors, the sheer number of violations indicates a serious lack of oversight at best, and a disregard for the law at worst.

Are Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform (FAIR), NumbersUSA, and Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) Really Playing the GOP for a Bunch of Suckers? SPIES IN THE CAMP - Part V – Show Me the Money!

Issues: 

“Heiress and bird-lover Cordelia Scaife May believed nature and the U.S. were under siege from runaway population growth. Eight years after her death, she continues to influence the immigration debate.” Joseph Tanfini, L.A. Times

What do FAIR, NumbersUSA, and CIS all have in common (besides John Tanton, and Board Members made up of population-control environmentalists, of course)? The answer is: MONEY! IRS records show that in 2010, one charitable foundation with roots in extreme environmentalism and population control, the Colcom Foundation, contributed over $7.1 million to these organizations.

Deception by Omission

Issues: 

The new anti-Stand Your Ground video is a perfect example of Deception by Omission… which is also, by the way, what most mainstream media is guilty of doing on a daily basis in their presentation of the news.

In addition, as usual, the left uses emotion rather than facts to present their side in a video that has clearly circumvented the facts presented during the Zimmerman trial in order to appeal to the uneducated, ill-informed liberal

We Must Stop Amnesty! But, is anybody even asking for it?

Issues: 

Words Without MeaningThe battle cry goes far and wide... No Amnesty, No Way, No How! Great! I am with you 1000%. Absolutely no amnesty. But wait, no one is asking for amnesty. So why is it that you hear someone parroting this mantra of "No Amnesty, No Amnesty" every time you turn on talk radio or go to a meeting where anything even remotely connected (or sometimes not even connected at all) to immigration is being discussed? It is the new word for "Shut the hell up!"

You see, the left has been doing this for years. Disagree with something they want and they scream "RACIST!" at the top of their lungs to the offending conservative knowing that because no one wants to be called a racist,

Saluting Our Military with Special Guest Rep. Mac Thornberry

Issues: 

I recently invited Congressman Mac Thornberry (TX-13), fellow Texan and Vice Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, to visit the 27th District to get a personal glimpse into the outstanding work of our service men and women here at home. I was pleased when he took me up on my offer by joining me at the 5th annual “Salute the Military” Luncheon in Corpus Christi. We also met with members of the South Texas Military Task Force that has been an advocate for our area bases.

Are Federation of Americans for Immigration Reform (FAIR), NumbersUSA, and Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) Really Playing the GOP for a Bunch of Suckers? SPIES IN THE CAMP - Part IV – CIS

Issues: 

“For credibility, [CIS] will need to be independent of FAIR, though the Center for Immigration Studies, as we’re calling it, is starting off as a project of FAIR.”
-John Tanton, letter to Cordelia Scaife

Below are the backgrounds of Center for Immigration Studies’ Principals and Directors. These are some of CIS’s most strident environmentalists, liberal Democrats, and abortion advocates.

Statement by Barry Smitherman in response to USDOJ Challenge to Texas Voter ID Law

AUSTIN – Barry Smitherman, conservative Republican candidate for Texas Attorney General issued the following statement in response to United States Attorney General Eric Holder’s statement that he will challenge Texas Voter ID law:

“Eric Holder and the Obama Justice Department continue their unrelenting attacks on the State of Texas, ignoring the facts and the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision

Dr. Jeffrey Singer: The Man Who Was Treated for $17,000 Less – WSJ.com

Issues: 

Nothing in the world is free, but we’re being told that a lot of expensive health care will be, thanks to ObamaCare. Why would anyone think that this time, government interference will result in anything different?

The savings talked about in this article aren’t an option for anyone eligible for Medicare, because few doctors and virtually no surgical facilities are willing to take their cash since any “provider” who enters into these cash-pay contracts must “opt out” of Medicare for two years.

Jeffrey Singer writes about the benefits of self-pay medicine and the hazards

What we need for victory in 2014 and beyond: Part II

The first three principles of conservatism given by Russell Kirk are belief in an enduring moral order, adherence to custom, convention, and continuity, and belief in what may be called the principle of prescription—that is, of things established by immemorial usage. Readers will recognize how the argument developed here applies to same sex marriage and other threats to tradition. These first three principles may sound stifling, but I will demonstrate how adherence to these principles is the only way self-government can be maintained and liberty protected.
