More on the Jealous god of Messianic Government
Peter Wehner — “The Assault of Authentic Compassion:” The dollars that Obama diverts from private charities to federal coffers will not be magically replaced. Public Discourse — “More Government, Less God: What the Obama Revolution Means for Religion in America”
. . . . Good Day!
A great American passed this weekend. Perhaps it is merciful that he won’t have to sit by and watch what will be done to his beloved country over the next four years by Pelosi-Reid-Obama.

The Washington Times reports: Roberton Williams, senior fellow at the Tax Policy Center, said it’s impossible to calculate the exact effects of all the tax changes, but said the overall result is clear – less philanthropic giving. “This will lead people to […]
