					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Thomas Hampson</em></p>
<p>We live in a divided nation. The unity we built 250 years ago is now fractured, and our disagreements have become so intense and sometimes so violent that they threaten the very fabric of our civil society.</p>
<p>One of the most volatile flashpoints today is the disagreement over how we enforce our national immigration laws.</p>
<p>Today, across the nation, hundreds of local <em>&#8220;sanctuary&#8221;</em> jurisdictions openly defy federal authority. We have seen this before.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2026/03/a-nation-divided/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>I cannot prove this, but <a href="https://youtu.be/dlbnToO1uQw" rel="nofollow">the caller to my radio show</a> seemed totally credible. If what he said is true, then the animosity towards <strong>Donald Trump</strong> in leftwing circles is even more extreme than some of us would have believed. And that is saying a lot.</p>
<p>The caller, named Rob, from Tampa, Florida, said he had previously worked at an NBC News affiliate up north. (He didn’t want to give further details so as to be able to speak with total freedom.)&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2020/05/how-intensely-does-the-leftwing-media-hate-trump/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by L. Brent Bosell III</em></p>
<p>Freedom of speech is in the First Amendment for a reason. Freedom begins with the ability to speak your opinion without fear of censorship or violent reprisal or imprisonment. This is a precious human right, not something that most countries in the world revere like we have. <span class="column--highlighted-text">But here in America, free speech is most dangerously under attack in the one place you would not expect: the universities.</span></p>
<p><strong>Dennis Prager</strong> and <strong>Adam Carolla</strong> have created a new documentary on the subject called &#8220;<a href="https://youtu.be/TTOQGvXbZY8" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">No Safe Spaces</a>.&#8221;&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/10/speech-police-and-safe-spaces/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Michael Gryboski</em></p>
<p>Americans are divided as to whether religious freedom or LGBT rights should be favored when the two concepts conflict with one another.</p>
<p>Recent findings from the Pew Research Center show the American public near evenly split on whether or not a business can refuse to service a same-sex wedding on religious grounds.</p>
<p>Out of a sample of about 4,500 adults, Pew found that 48 percent of respondents believed that businesses which provided wedding services should be allowed to refuse to service gay weddings if the owner has religious objections.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/10/americans-split-on-whether-religious-freedom-or-lgbt-rights-are-more-important/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
