Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:
Slovakia enshrines true marriage in nation’s Constitution ~ Hope it works out better for them than it did for us with DOMA. Laws are worthless if administrators are lawless.
Soccer: The Single Greatest Threat to American Exceptionalism ~ Hyperbole perhaps, but not by much ~
The World Cup, rather, is a working model of President Obama’s foreign policy vision: a world in which America has no special role, where inferior countries are no longer humbled by American greatness, where every country is exceptional, and free shots on goal are not earned, but given away as a handout to those who have mastered the art of falling down.
Just what is so great about America? Well…
AMERICA – Imagine a World Without Her ~ Dinesh D’Souza’s latest documentary is due out in theaters July 2, 2014. You can influence distribution – get your local theater to screen the film – by going HERE.
The NYT is running cover for Obama as usual by ignoring the book that the movie is based on ~ Dinesh D’Souza’s ‘America’ banished from New York Times best seller list
What’s Lost as Handwriting Fades ~ Are we embracing technology at the cost of brain development?
… psychologists and neuroscientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting a relic of the past. New evidence suggests that the links between handwriting and broader educational development run deep.
Five Questions for Christians Who Believe the Bible Supports Gay Marriage ~ Some really thought-provoking questions for those inclined to go along with the progressive pressure on same-sex marriage. For instance, how have all Christians at all times and in all places interpreted the Bible so wrongly for so long?
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau already sinking into scandal ~ And the hits just keep on coming. The CFPB was established as part of the Dodd-Frank debacle and right out the gate it’s proving to be another shining example of D.C. ineptitude; another bloated, bureaucratic waste of taxpayer money.

A fed-up veteran blasts VA’s “lie, delay, deny” abyss ~ Heart-breaking testimony from a former Special Forces soldier and medic (who) served his country for 25 years. This Veterans Affairs scandal is an absolute disgrace!
Why the Redskins Trademark Ruling Should Terrify You ~ The court decision is yet another encroachment by the progressive PC police, but it’s much more than that. Trevor Thomas, at the American Thinker, weighs in on the ruling also ~ Liberals Wage War on the Redskins ~
All one needs to know is that the moral code employed by liberals in this matter is the same one that has allowed for the slaughter of tens of millions of Americans in their mothers’ wombs, that tells us that homosexual sex is good and right, that a redefinition of the sacred institution of marriage is necessary and just, that it is immoral to refer to someone born with testicles as a man, that guns are immoral, and that it is “compassionate” to confiscate forcibly the wealth of one and give it to another. So yes, please, let us actually debate the morality and the justness of “Redskins” and all of these matters. Let us each clearly cast our moral standards before the American people, the courts, and most importantly, the Creator and see where we stand.
Rep. Stockman introduces ‘The Dog Ate My Tax Receipts Act’ ~ Offering numerous “excuse” options for tax-payers, Stockman declared:
“Taxpayers should be allowed to offer the same flimsy, obviously made-up excuses the Obama Administration uses.”
