Attacked by Tolerance

by JesseRay on May 15, 2012

TFP (Tradition, Family & Property) is a solid group of young Catholic men who are spreading our Christian message in a peaceful way. Yet they are met with the forces of evil masquerading under the false auspices of “Tolerance.” This video will open your eyes to the bigotry, hate, and violence of the pro-gay movement. You will never hear about these crimes and violent acts in the main stream media because they do not fit the narrative that NBC ABC and the others have bought into. Please share this video.

Do New Discoveries Confirm Truth of Scripture? I Think So.

May 11, 2012

Archaeological discoveries tell us a great deal about our ancestors. And now, in light of some recent discoveries in Israel, they may also provide corroboratory evidence for descriptions presented in the Old Testament.

From Freedom to Bondage

May 7, 2012

A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses [...]
