UNC at Chapel Hill Doesn’t Like Christians Apparently
This is a month old, but Newsmax just ran the story so it will likely get mentioned some more… Last summer UNC got in trouble and embarrassed for mistreatment of Christians. They are at it again by telling a Christian group that it cannot be a Christian group. In other words, they have to let…

NJ Governor Quits and Comes Out of the Closet

Kerry Picks Anti-“Under God” Religion Advisor
Got this one off of NewsMax this morning… Apparently Johnny-boy thinks a religious advisor who insults Christians is OK. Personally, I doubt it matters to people of deep, traditional (read historic and conservative) faith anyway, as they aren’t likely to vote for a pro-abort candidate. Of course this is only marginally better than his previous…
