					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>One of the most chilling scenes in the anti-communist 1965 film “Dr. Zhivago” shows the doctor returning to his Moscow home after forced duty in the Red Army.</p>
<p>The Bolsheviks overthrew the czar and took power in Russia in the October Revolution of 1917.</p>
<p>As his wife, Tonya, gives him a hug and a silent warning, Yuri looks around and sees dozens of people unrelated to him. What was once the Zhivagos’ home — a large, magnificent house — is now a sordid commune crammed with state-sponsored squatters.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/06/the-lefts-war-on-the-american-dream/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Peter Heck</em></p>
<p>It was several years ago that in preparing a speech for an upcoming event, I flipped on the local evening news.</p>
<p>The first story of the night was a double homicide on the city&#8217;s northeast side. The second story was that police feared a serial rapist had struck again. The third story involved a string of armed robberies. And then it happened: The anchors turned to the fourth item on their laundry list of bad news, and detailed the removal of the Ten Commandments display at the local courthouse following a legal challenge.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2024/01/compromise-isnt-the-great-commission/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Robert Knight</em></p>
<p>Home-schoolers consistently outscore government school students in every academic area. It’s no wonder that the public school establishment hates and fears home schooling.</p>
<p>The clearest evidence yet came in this past Thursday’s <em>Washington Post</em>. “<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/interactive/2023/christian-home-schoolers-revolt/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">THE REVOLT OF CHRISTIAN HOME-SCHOOLERS</a>” (all caps in original) is a voluminous, front-page article almost entirely about one Loudoun County, Virginia, couple who had home-schooled their children before opting to enroll them in public schools.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2023/06/washington-post-hit-piece-on-home-schooling-is-thinly-veiled-attack-on-christianity/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p><em>Written by Jerry Newcombe</em></p>
<p>I recently <a href="http://newpres.org/content.cfm?id=9054&#38;download_id=231#attached_content" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">preached</a> a sermon on the subject of stealing in our church’s series on the Ten Commandments. And one of the points I made is that socialism is a form of theft.</p>
<p>I mentioned the slogan going around during the 1960s — “property is theft.”</p>
<p>But the Bible says, “Thou shalt not steal.” Implied in that commandment is the sanctity of private property — I’m not allowed to simply take it because someone else <em>owns </em>it.&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2019/08/socialism-is-theft-why-are-candidates-espousing-it/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p>The progressive Left is in a panic over the U.S. Senate’s coming confirmation vote on President Trump’s nomination of <strong>Brett Kavanaugh</strong> to the U.S. Supreme Court.</p>
<p>How do we know this? They keep telling us.</p>
<p>In a national conference call sponsored by People for the American Way (PFAW), U.S. Senator <strong>Elizabeth Warren</strong>, Massachusetts Democrat, said, “We’re in the fight of our lives.”</p>
<p>PFAW’s <strong>Marge Baker</strong> echoed Ms. Warren by exclaiming that this is “a critical, critical, critical fight.”&#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2018/08/left-claims-the-moral-high-ground-for-what/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>

<p><em>Written by Bob Weir</em></p>
<p>To shed some light on the death of <strong>Fidel Castro</strong>, I did an interview with U.S. Senator Ted Cruz&#8217;s father <strong>Rafael Cruz</strong>, who lived under the oppressive regime of the Cuban dictator <strong>Fulgencio Batista</strong>.</p>
<p>Have you ever had experiences in which you felt as though your government was taking unfair advantage of you, and it seemed as though you had no power to do anything about it?  Have you written your congressman, senator, or county commissioner several times and only received form-letter responses?  &#8230; <a href="https://illinoisfamilyaction.org/2016/12/rafael-cruz-remembers-life-in-cuba/" class="read-more">Continue Reading </a></p>]]></description>
