Donald Trump’s support from self-identified evangelical voters has sparked a debate among Christian leaders over what that term means, and a move to narrow the definition of this term or abandon it altogether.
The civil war within American Christianity that Trump’s candidacy has sparked is similar to the one going on inside the Republican Party, with a particularly large faction dead set against ever supporting Trump.
The split is between a subset of evangelicals best categorized as “creedal” believers — those who take their faith most seriously and who oppose Trump.… Continue Reading

We are thrilled to be able to endorse a solid Republican candidate for U.S. Senator, and a challenger to incumbent liberal Republican Mark Kirk. James Marter is pro-life, pro-marriage and understands the importance of religious liberty. On the other hand, Illinois’ incumbent junior senator has a long record of actively opposing conservative Christian values. Kirk has voted to continue tax dollars for Planned Parenthood, publicly celebrated the U.S. Supreme Court’s redefinition of marriage, co-sponsored the radical Equal Rights Amendment and voted against the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.… Continue Reading

Rev. Rafael Cruz, the father of U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, is coming to Illinois and stopping in Bensenville, Dolton, Peoria, Springfield and Collinsville. Come on out, he would love to meet you!
Rafael Cruz is a powerful example of the American Dream — and has a powerful testimony to share. Born in Cuba, Rafael lived and suffered under an oppressive dictator.

What would happen if Donald Trump sat down with the Creator of the universe in a SoHo bistro?

So it’s come to this: Donald Trump talking about the size of his hands and other parts of his anatomy on stage at the Republican presidential debate Thursday night in Detroit.
I’ve watched a lot of debates with heated exchanges in my 52 years, but I never thought I would see anything like this. Immediately after this moment in American exceptionalism, I sent a text to a friend: Did that just happen?… Continue Reading

I asked last March, “Just How Bad a Candidate Would Hillary Be?” As Hillary locks up the Democrat nomination, the question is “Just How Bad a Candidate Will Hillary Be?” Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton may be the most pathetic presidential nominee of any major political party in our nation’s history.
First dispel the myth of her husband as a consummate politician. Bill was a flop as governor of Arkansas and as president of the United States. … Continue Reading

Earlier this week, former Rep. Ron Paul explained to CNN why a libertarian cannot endorse Donald Trump’s authoritarian approach:
My biggest beef is, from a libertarian viewpoint, there is absolutely no difference, meaningful difference, between Hillary and Trump. They both support the military industrial complex, the Federal Reserve, deficits, entitlements, invasion of our privacy. And it’s super nationalistic populism versus socialism. That is so removed from what we need to be doing.

The 2016 presidential primary is upon us! Political advertisements and contentious pundits fill the airwaves, candidates zoom from campaign stop to campaign stop with all the frenzied energy of well-caffeinated mosquitoes, and the general public watches the unfolding events with a strange mixture of excitement, curiosity, and perturbation. Through it all, one figure has absolutely dominated the media coverage: billionaire magnate-turned-politician Donald Trump.
The Trump phenomenon has totally disrupted conventional political wisdom.… Continue Reading
