President Obama recently posted a synopsis of some of the ways he’s contributing to the collapse of American culture, by contributing to the deconstruction of its cornerstone, the family. The synopsis, posted on the White House website, was purported to be a summary of Obama’s efforts to ensure every American is “treated equally in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of our society;” however, that is not the case.

March 1, 2012, the Senate will take one of the most important votes it's taken since our destructive president took office. The Senate will vote on whether to protect religious liberties and whether the government has the authority to force Americans to purchase health insurance plans that cover abortion-inducing drugs, contraceptives, and sterilization procedures. It is imparative that senators be encouraged to support this bill. We have heard from leaders on the Hill that the Senate is not getting enough feedback from Americans on this issue.

While it wasn’t made in public, at some point along the way President Obama must have made an oath to undermine and patently violate the U.S. Constitution at every opportunity available.
On January 4, 2012, the president committed his most blatant and obvious violation of our Constitution to date by making four appointments without the advice or consent of the U.S. Senate, even while the Senate was in session and available. In fact, one of his unconstitutional appointees had already been rejected by the Senate: Richard Cordray as head of the newly invented Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

As election year approaches and some of the candidates take more Libertarian positions, it is important to understand the definition of liberty and what Congress may do to impact what some would call liberty.
However, before diving into the question of liberty, it must be recognized that the United States of America has a Constitution in which the roles of the government are established. The analysis in this paper is conducted with fidelity to that document. The Constitution provides a process for changing America’s governing documents and until these processes are engaged, some of which are mentioned below, the government may exercise the authority it has been given, but may not exceed that authority. The question of liberty rests largely on America’s founding documents and the intentions of the Founding Fathers in their use of the term.

Liberty Counsel Action encouraged senators to vote "no," and they did just that. In a vote of 54 to 45, the senators refused to move forward on the nomination of Caitlin Halligan to the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. This is a big win for those who are strict constructionists, as Caitlin Halligan would have certainly attempted to legislate from the bench, in accordance with her radical liberal ideology.

The Occupy DC movement has been a neighbor of Liberty Counsel, an organization affiliated with Liberty Counsel Action, for months now. As they use bull horns to rally the occupiers of McPherson Square, Liberty Counsel occupies (and pay for the use of) an office building right across the street, and is often distracted by the noises associated with Occupy DC (police sirens being the most frequent noise pollutant, a result of the occupiers disrupting traffic and engaging in other nefarious conduct). That being said, we’re strict constructionists.

Obama is making enemies of our friends by undermining the values other nations are founded upon.
Just months after the relationship between the United States and Pakistan became tumultuous due to the raid on the Osama Bin Laden compound, Obama and his cronies fanned the flames of adversity last June by holding a LGBT (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered) Pride celebration at the U.S. Embassy in Pakistan.
While the Obama Administration continues to refuse to recognize the opposition to the “celebration,” many religious groups throughout the country denounced the activity and protested Obama’s attempts to impose his values on the people of Pakistan. The hypocrisy of it all is that while the Obama Administration consistently attempts to impose its values on other nations, here in the U.S., the Administration vilifies the imposition of values on people.

Our children are under attack by an insidious and virulent enemy. On August 17, 2011, more than 50 activists attended a conference for “minor-attracted adults,” i.e., pedophiles, which sought to eliminate the “stigma” attached to pedophilia and to redefine pedophilia as a normal “sexual orientation.” The United States Department of Justice has determined that 64 percent of forcible sodomy victims are boys under the age of 12 and that 58,200 children were kidnapped by non-family members in 1999. So-called “experts” in the field of human sexuality claim that children are sexual not only from birth, but even in the womb and are willing participants in sexual acts with adults. Children are encouraged to experiment with sex early and often and to engage in sex with members of the same-sex as well as the opposite sex. Sexually transmitted diseases among teenagers are at epidemic proportions, and new and sometimes fatal strands of diseases are being reported. More than 50,000 teens have contracted HIV which has advanced to full blown AIDS and by 1992 more than 7,000 boys and 1,500 girls have died from HIV/AIDS. How did we get here? How do we stop the madness before we lose an entire generation?
