Should Churches Lose Their Tax Exempt Status-Campaigning From The Pulpit?
The simple phrase “All men are created equal” has been called an immortal declaration, and perhaps the single phrase of the United States Revolutionary period with the most grand continuing importance even though after 236 years there is still inequality in America.

Woolard Supporter Brings Handgun to Democratic Headquarters in Beaufort County just before Butterfield arrived! Police Called and Took Control
A few weeks ago, I was co-hosting Jammin 99.3 with David Perkins and I mentioned the emotional environment with some tea party members and their use of handguns at rallies.

Who’s Behind the “ab swindle” Facebook Page? Wilson Co. Tea Party & Tom Fetzer! Caption Should Read Fetzer Call’s Swindell Satanic! Read more…
