Posted at 12:15 on March 13, 2014
With Democratic 2014 Senate and House hopes receding faster than the rise of the tides under President Obama, the Obama administration and Democratic Party have decided to resort to their favorite page in the political playbook: distraction and misdirection.

Shallow waters at the intersection of Obamacare and the culture

Posted at 12:15 on March 13, 2014 by Paul Mirengoff
(Paul Mirengoff) Everyone, I think, understands why President Obama is enlisting pop personalities in his effort to get younger Americans to sign up for Obamacare. I doubt that the president relishes being mocked, however mildly, by a bratty comedian. But desperate times call for desperate measures and, to paraphrase Donald Rumsfeld, Obama must go to war us...

Where America Went Wrong, and How We Can Get Back on the Track

Posted at 9:15 on March 12, 2014 by John Hinderaker
(John Hinderaker) This morning, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew appeared at a Senate Budget Committee hearing on President Obama’s FY 2015 budget proposal. Not a lot of attention has been paid to Obama’s budget, probably because, to an even greater extent than usual, it is dead on arrival. There is zero chance of it being the basis for federal spending next year, let alone the next ten years. Still, it has significance as an indicator of where Obama and his administration wou...

Evangelism 2.5 – A Method, a Structure, and the Current State of Affairs

Posted at 7:46 on March 12, 2014 by Collin Brendemuehl
Introduction It would be easy to begin with the negative:  Sometimes I do wonder about “evangelicals” who never evangelize.  I’ve gone there too often.  After all, if only 3% of churches grow by intentional evangelism, that is something to criticize.  But perhaps starting with the critical approach comes out of my background, both from my personal and church histories.  It is tough to remain positive.  It is hard work to not only have an idea (criticism is ...

Who Elected America The World’s Leader?

Posted at 7:45 on March 12, 2014 by Andrew Sullivan

The ensuing doctrine is certainly not Reaganism — the belief that America should use its power to defeat tyranny and promote democracy. It’s ...
