Healing Marriage after Infidelity
Can a marriage be saved when there has been infidelity? It depends. It depends on so many things. I have seen marriages be destroyed when there has been betrayal, and I have seen others grow stronger.

Stand Up For The Truth, Not Fabrication
Mr. Brewton, you have taken the same route as Adolf Hitler in your arguments against Russia. How you the people of America bamboozled into believing that the Russians were the aggressors when the whole world knew that Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili ordered the attack on the Republic of South Ossetia on August 8, 2008. Even that attack was advised by U.S. President George W. Bush.

Grandma Gets a Bad Rap
My mother recently became a great-grandmother. Just to be clear, this status did not come about because of anything my children did; I'm not a grandma yet. But for my mother, her change of status is something to celebrate, and not just because there is a beautiful new baby to spoil.

Why Are Christians Hated?
I'm not talking about church people in general. I'm talking about real Christians. I don't care their denominational tag any more than God cares about their denominational tag. I'm caring about the living-out-Jesus-believer who knows His Bible and seeks to breathe it out.

AIDS Conclave "Celebrates" With Condom Fashions?

REAL ID: Connecting the Dots to an International ID
History offers many examples of societies which have sought to increase security by sacrificing freedom. America itself provides many pertinent instances. However, our founding fathers have not left us without wisdom on this issue. Ben Franklin has famously stated, "People willing to trade freedom for temporary security deserve neither and will lose both." REAL ID undoubtedly exemplifies a scenario in which a difficult tension exists between freedom and security.

Innocent Customers Potentially Dragged Into Legal Battle Over Satellite TV
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) asked a federal court Friday to reject efforts by Echostar to get the names and addresses of every customer that purchased a free-to-air satellite receiver. Echostar claims that the receiver can be modified to pirate DISH satellite TV programming. EFF argues that Echostar's demand, which seeks all purchasers regardless of whether they actually pirated DISH TV, would violate user privacy and leave innocent purchasers vulnerable to bogus legal threats.

The "Being Stupid" and "Sounding Strong" Policy Connection
Developments in the ongoing conflict between the nations of Georgia and Russia grew very hot this past week. The conflict has very long historical roots and has been potentially ready to explode since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The comments of John McCain on the current outbreak of war has demonstrated the close connection between "sounding strong" for domestic political considerations and "being stupid" in the execution of American foreign policy.

When School Bells Ring Again, So Too Do Claims of ADHD
The impending arrival of another school year is marked by several things. Cooler weather. One last dip in the pool. A rush to buy school supplies during a state wide tax free holiday. Oh, and pre-season NFL football games on the boob tube. These are all sure-fire signs that a significant change in seasons and parent-child thinking is about to happen.

What's So Great About Dinesh D'Souza? An Interview
Dinesh D'Souza is one of the most famous conservatives in America. He is a prolific author of works concerning politics and society. After college, he worked briefly in the public sector and was, in the late eighties, a senior domestic policy analyst in the Reagan Administration. As an author, he has always been a controversial figure due to his arriving at positions well ahead of the conservative consensus. Illiberal Education and The End of Racism made him a hated figure by the left; but it was not until 2007, with the release of The Enemy at Home: The Cultural Left and Its Responsibility for 9/11, that he found himself criticized by some members of the right. His latest book What's So Great About Christianity, should restore his status among conservatives, however. It is a meticulous and exquisite defense of both Christianity and belief in general.

Obama Confirms Relationship With Marxist Mentor
Accuracy in Media editor Cliff Kincaid said that coverage of the Obama campaign's fierce attack on Jerome Corsi's book, The Obama Nation, misses the point that the campaign has finally acknowledged that the mysterious "Frank" in Obama's 1995 book, Dreams From My Father, is in fact the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) member Frank Marshall Davis.

The Flame Thrower
The very same summer of 1991, that my husband bought me my Craftsman lawn tractor; he also made me another present. All summer long while I so diligently kept the lawn so beautifully mowed, he'd had the thankless job of trimming the grass that grew so abundantly along our five rock walls. He'd eye the new growth all week long, knowing that come Saturday, there was another trimming job waiting for him because for some obscure reason, I'd been unable to learn how to use that noisy, dangerous machine. I'd become proficient in the use of the rototiller, the lawn sprayer, the lawn edger and all the other machines one needs to keep their property in pristine condition but me and the weed eater didn't like each other one dite!

As another "Georgia," on another continent is currently being mercilessly ravaged by air, land, and sea, with its airfields blown, civilian population intentionally targeted, and the last of its Coast Guard vessels sunk, I can't help but wonder if right about now, some Russian military officer is sending a similar tongue-in-cheek message to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
