Liar, liar… Political Word Games – Thomas Sowell

In short, he is simply lying.

Now there are different kinds of liars. If we must have lying Presidents of the United States, I prefer that they be like Richard Nixon. You could just look at him and tell that he was lying.

But Obama is much smoother. On this and on many other issues, you would have to know what the facts are to know that he is lying. He is obviously counting on the fact that, in this era of dumbed-down education, many people have no clue as to what the facts are.

Political Word Games – Thomas Sowell – Townhall Conservative Columnists

One of the highly developed talents of President Barack Obama is the ability to say things that are demonstrably false, and make them sound not only plausible but inspiring.

That talent was displayed just this week when he was asked whether he thought the Supreme Court would uphold ObamaCare as constitutional or strike it down as unconstitutional.

He replied: “I’m confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.”

But how unprecedented would it actually be if the Supreme Court declared a law unconstitutional if it was passed by “a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress”? Continue reading “Liar, liar… Political Word Games – Thomas Sowell” →

Pray for the Brunei Church

April 4 | Brunei Even though there are only a few believers in Brunei, they do their best to practice the Christian faith in a strongly Islamic country. Many of them are underground believers and are in desperate need of church fellowship and discipleship. Please pray for them and ask the Lord for breakthroughs for His Word to reach them.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (2 Tim. 3:16-17)

Morning Reading: Luke 9.18-20 ESV

Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” And they answered, “John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen.” Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered, “The Christ of God.”

To the victor in Egypts presidential race: a terrible economy – CSMonitor.com.

The Muslim Brotherhood has fronted a candidate. A former ally of Mubarak may even run. But whoever wins will start with less than half the foreign reserves Egypt had before the revolution.

By , Staff writer / April 3, 2012

The Muslim Brotherhood, after months of denials of interest in the presidency, nominated one of its own for the presidency of Egypt this weekend. In Cairo yesterday, rumors were flying that Omar Suleiman, the retired general who emerged as one of Hosni Mubarak’s closest confidants in the final years of his rule, was priming for a run of his own.

But there’s one solid fact that will confront whoever wins the presidency and that won’t be addressed by the most brilliant and fair constitution in human history: Egypt’s economy is in really, really bad shape.
