  • Code Red--Vote Tomorrow

    November 20th, 200903:03 PM ET
    By Bradley Mattes
    Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, released his 2,074-page version of the Senate health care reform bill-at an estimated price of $890 billion. The price tag is obscene, partly because it includes funding of abortion-on-demand. Beginning on page 118 (under "Voluntary Choice of Coverage of Abortion Services"), it gives Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary...

    In a nationwide survey of 1005 adults, Barna Research found that seven of ten adults, 71 percent, placed a good night's sleep at the top of a list of things they look forward to. Born again Christians were even more interested than non-believers in getting a good night of rest.  We're tired and the study's director, George Barna, says it's our...

    We're really getting down to crunch-time with the health care reform bill. The House is expected to take a vote on it as early as tomorrow. Nancy Pelosi has decided to keep members of the House there until a vote is reached, and abortion is the hurdle preventing this. Pro-abortion leaders, along with the abortion industry, are fighting hard to keep...

  • Health Care Overhaul vs. Seniors

    November 05th, 200911:17 AM ET
    By Penna Dexter
    One of the realities permeating the health care debate is that the bulk of medical spending occurs in the last few years...sometimes the last few months....of people's lives.  That's why the idea of government-run health care raises not-unreasonable fears of rationing, the dreaded death panels. We are on the threshold of a tidal wave of b...
