Romney, Santorum Not Backing Down on Religious Freedom Debate
GOP frontrunners Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are continuing to pressure President Obama on issues of religious freedom, and they apparently have the support of conservative political pundits.
Grove City College political science professor, Dr. Paul Kengor, in an email interview with The Christian Post said the reason Santorum and the other GOP leaders were standing firm in defending religious freedom, it was because Democrats were forcing the issue.
“He’s being led by President Obama into this issue,” wrote Kengor. “Rick Santorum, like tens of millions of committed Roman Catholics and evangelicals, has been pushed into this arena by President Obama, compliments […]
‘Guardrails’ Needed to Maintain Proper Boundaries in Relationships
After giving some suggestions in an earlier post as to what those close to a Nashville Metro Council member may say to him and his spouse after his sins were publically exposed, I recalled some guidelines given in a sermon by Pastor Eddie Cupples that would benefit both married couples and single people. Here they are.
Five “Guardrails” Married Couples Should Establish:
1) Don’t travel alone with members of the opposite sex
2) Don’t eat alone with members of the opposite sex
3) Don’t hire “cute” members of the opposite sex because you want to help them
4) Don’t confide in or counsel members of […]
Not Just Another Political Sex Scandal
Last week a Nashville, TN Metro Councilman was arrested in an undercover prostitution sting at a Nashville area hotel. Brady Banks, who is serving his first term in his elected position also held a state government job in addition to his public service duties. He announced earlier this week he has resigned from his full-time duties working for the state.
Unfortunately, Banks arrest unleashed a fury of media attention unlike anything he has experienced thus far in his short political career.
His situation is not the first time an elected official or someone who holds a position of high moral authority – […]
Rick Santorum, Jeremy Lin, Attribute Success to Faith in Christ
It’s often said American’s love an underdog in sports and politics. If that’s the case, then there is good reason former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and NBA newcomer Jeremy Lin are riding high. What is ago getting attention is they are crediting God for their success.
“I’ve survived the challenges so far by the daily grace that comes from God,” Santorum said shortly after the Iowa caucuses. “For giving me His grace every day, for loving me, warts and all, I offer public thanks to God.”
Since then, Santorum has had much to be thankful for. After being discounted shortly after the […]
Does Santorum Have Evangelical Women’s Vote in the Bag?
Rick Santorum’s campaign has taken on a whole new dimension within the last two weeks. His surprise sweep of Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota has placed him front and center in a GOP primary, but he still needs to wrap up a greater percentage of women – specifically, evangelical women.
Santorum’s legislative credentials on issues such as partial birth abortion and traditional marriage give him tons of credibility within the ranks of female social conservatives.
Still, some evangelical women have drifted toward Romney or former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, saying those candidates were best suited to addresshealth care and economic issues and defeat President Obama […]
Prop 8 Appeal: Will Supreme Court Decide Gay Marriage Once and for All?
Legal scholars say the U.S. Supreme Court may have to decide whether federal court has the power to overturn a state protection of traditional marriage in the wake of the controversial 9th Circuit Appeal Court decision negating California Proposition 8.
But it is not clear this is the case that either protectors or challengers to traditional marriage want the high court to decide. American Center for Law and Justice attorney and legal scholar David French says he is somewhat perplexed by last Tuesday’s ruling by the 9th Circuit Appeals Court and questions how the Supreme Court would handle the case.
“They certainly […]
