Random links of interest, concern or curiosity from the past week or so, that deserve at least a SHORT mention:

Why this Christian Supports Israel ~ “You may as well ask me why I choose good over evil.”
Op-ed by Gary Bauer at The Jewish Press cites the many values and qualities that America has in common with the Jewish nation. Above all, don’t forget; without the Jews, there would be no Jesus.

In their own devious way the homosexual activists are every bit as totalitarian as the Islamists who want to impose Sharia law.
