Source: Free Market Foundation, January 22, 2009

GOVERNMENT POLICY
Lincoln's View of Obama's Inauguration
Source: Human Events, Chuck Norris, 01/20/2009
With the 20-foot statue of Abraham Lincoln gazing from the Lincoln Memorial across the National Mall, I wondered, what would the Civil War president think about Barack Obama being sworn in as America's 44th president? Lincoln is obviously Obama's favorite president. But would America's 16th president return the same sentiment?
Is GOP Still a National Party?

As President Barack Obama delivers his inaugural address to a nation filled with anticipation and hope, the vital signs of the loyal opposition appear worse than worrisome.
Citigroup, Bank of America May Look ‘Nationalized’ (Update3)

The U.S. government’s decision to pledge billions of additional dollars with strings attached to Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. may be nationalization by another name, according to former bankers and regulators.
EDUCATION POLICY
Testimony by J. Budziszewski to Texas SBOE

Although my teaching has included the philosophy of science, I am obviously not a natural scientist myself. Why then am I here? I speak today in support of the principle that young people should be educated, not propagandized -- and I know something about what that means. One of the most important differences between education and propaganda is how they deal with great controversies.
ECONOMIC POLICY
Stocks Squeeze Seminaries
Financial crisis may claim more evangelical schools in 2009.

One evangelical seminary fell victim to the American economy's recession in 2008, while others teetered on the brink of collapse or faced serious cutbacks.
Beware Obama's Trojan Horse
Source: Dick Morris & Eileen McGann, 01.22.2009
Now that Obama is the president, fasten your seat belts. During his first year in office, and particularly during his first hundred days, we are about to witness the most prodigious output of legislation since 1981-2 (under Reagan), 1964-5 (under Johnson), and 1933-36 (under Roosevelt). The combination of top heavy Democratic majorities in Congress and a mood of public fear bordering on panic over the financial crisis and the looming depression will speed his legislation through a compliant Senate and House.
State Secession and the Coming Civil War
You can never have a revolution in order to establish a democracy.
You must have a democracy in order to have a revolution.

It’s not only because a Russian former KGB and current Professor suggests so, but also because it’s been a topic of recent conversation among family, that America’s ability to maintain itself has been questioned. A society without morals and a sound monetary policy will be short lived.
RELIGION POLICY
“So Help Me God”
Source: BreakPoint Commentaries, By Chuck Colson, 1/20/2009
There’s a ceremony going on in Washington today that’s the stuff that nightmares are made of—that is if you belong to the ACLU. At noon, the Chief Justice of the United States will ask Barack Obama to place his hand on the Bible—the one used by Abraham Lincoln in 1861—and to swear allegiance to the Constitution. The oath will end with the words “so help me God.” Even worse, this theocratic moment will include a prayer by an evangelistic minister, one Rick Warren.
Illinois moment of silence ruled unconstitutional
Source: Assoc. Press, By MIKE ROBINSON, January 22, 2009
CHICAGO (AP) — A federal judge has ruled that a state law requiring a moment of silence in public schools across Illinois is unconstitutional, saying it crosses the line separating church and state. "The statute is a subtle effort to force students at impressionable ages to contemplate religion," U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman said in his ruling Wednesday. The ruling came in a lawsuit designed to bar schools from enforcing the Illinois Silent Reflection and Student Prayer Act. It was filed by talk show host Rob Sherman, an outspoken atheist, and his daughter, Dawn, a high school student.
SOCIAL POLICY
The Obamas: A more perfect union
Source: The San Francisco Gate, Mommy Files, January 20, 2009
Did you see the way she was looking at him as he was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States? Did you see how many times throughout the inauguration he touched her and she touched him. A reassuring pat on the shoulder. A loving embrace. As they walked along the parade route, she tightly squeezed his hand with a huge smile across her face. Barack and Michelle Obama are hot, despite being married for 16 years and having two children. And my God, I think our new president and his wife actually have sex. Could they possibly be in love? I think so.

While the new occupant of the Oval Office and his team already have began working to exercise monumental "change" throughout America, pro-life lawmakers are standing up in support of the most vulnerable. “We are on the side of justice, we are on the side of the innocent and the defenseless, and we are on the side of equal dignity for every human life," Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., said on the House floor Wednesday.
Vatican criticizes Obama on abortion issue
Source: Fox News, Saturday, January 24, 2009
VATICAN CITY — Vatican officials said Saturday they were disappointed by President Barack Obama's decision to end a ban on federal funding for international groups that perform abortions or provide information on them. Monsignor Rino Fisichella, who heads the Vatican's Pontifical Academy for Life, urged Obama to listen to all voices in America without "the arrogance of those who, being in power, believe they can decide of life and death.
