Obamacare and all other “phony scandals” of Obama aside, the most significant scandal of the Obama administration concerns the National Security Agency (NSA), where our so-called government, backed not only by President Obama but a number of congressional Democrats and Republicans like Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. Peter King, has literally invaded, violated and, in effect, raped the professional and personal lives of over 300 million Americans with its Orwellian surveillance programs known as PRISM and MUSCULAR.

Rejecting Islamic extremism
By Dr Patrick Sookhdeo, International Director of Barnabas Aid
I have recently returned from visiting Egypt as the head of a delegation of academics, media personnel, politicians and senior ex-military officers from the USA. We met with the young people who initiated the two revolutions, the business community, the chairman of the constitutional committee, the religious communities and the Egyptian military, including the Defense Minister.
Egypt is in the throes of change. The 2011 Arab Spring ousted long-serving President Mubarak. Barely two years later another popular uprising, which saw an estimated 33 million people take to the streets, brought down his successor, President Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, when the army intervened to stop a potential civil war and to ensure that the will of the people was followed.

Christmas Parades back in the news
By David Arnett, Publisher
The Tulsa World features a story today on the Tulsa Christmas Parades that makes a mistake of fact. Bill Sherman writes, “No one noticed that first year.”

Republicans are lambasted for not having a Plan. In fact, they have had many proposals to decrease costs, improve patient care, and expand access to medical care. But the great universal Plan for healthcare reform? That’s one the Republicans, and most Americans, oppose—if “healthcare reform” means compulsory government-funded “insurance” and the destruction of private medicine, private insurance, freedom of choice, and traditional medical ethics. This used to be called “socialized medicine.”
Ted Cruz, we’ve got your flank
By Matt Barber, Liberty Counsel
Senator Ted Cruz
Opinion: With his inspirational and unprecedented show of leadership on the floor of the U.S. Senate this past week, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, made hundreds of enemies in Washington.
But more importantly, he made millions of friends across America.
When you have both liberal Democrats and mealy-mouthed establishment RINOs (Republicans in name only) allying against you, you know you’ve got the bead over the beltway “good ol’ boys’” center-mass. Mr. Cruz emasculated, delightfully, Obama’s political yes-bots on both sides of the aisle.
