1.) We will all die of old age before anyone cuts spending — After a largely symbolic repeal of Obamacare, what will Republicans do next to cut spending? Absolutely nothing, apparently. “Entitlement reform will only be done on a bipartisan basis. So we’re waiting for signals from the president as to whether or not that’s a discussion he’s willing to have,” said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, in a Thursday press conference. “The president must embrace it.” The Daily Caller’s Jon Ward writes, “House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Virginia Republican, acted on Tuesday as if Obama was the one who was just elected based on promises to cut government spending” and that “House Speaker John Boehner, Ohio Republican, had no answer Thursday for NBC’s Brian Williams when asked to name ‘a program right now that we could do without.’” Head, desk. (more)

In the Christian scriptures, in the book of Romans, the apostle Paul addresses the natural downward spiral of mankind, away from the “Creator” (the same Creator mentioned in the Declaration of Independence), declaring: “although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were they thankful….” (more)

Thanksgiving celebrations have special significance to Americans.

Bush is out Tuesday, called, “City of Man: Religion and Politics in a New Era.” In the 176-page book, Michael Gerson and Pete Wehner make a case for how Christians should think about and participate in politics in the modern age, arguing that the days of the Moral Majority are gone and a new Christian politics is taking shape. (more)

It’s common in sports to see an athlete play past his prime, searching for something he never achieved or fearing life without the spotlight.  Think Muhammad Ali losing to Leon Spinks or Willie Mays batting .211 for the New York Mets. (more)

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Church logo tattoos are the latest in offbeat testimony at an Orange County church that holds Sunday services in a punk rock nightclub and collects offerings in KFC buckets.

Does the president think we’re stupid? I mean really; I know he’s got the media pom-pom squad cheering his every move and ignoring his every misstep, while shamelessly putting him on a pedestal above the reach of criticism; but for the love of God, the president himself is not even hiding it anymore. Recently the president made this remark. “I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.” Wait, what? I’m sorry, but how is he allowed to continue saying he’s a capitalist? Mr. Obama’s above statement, even if taken independent of numerous and documented supporting facts, is a Marxist statement, completely in line with a Marxist philosophy. How can the simple acknowledgment of that fact, one so clearly defined, remain taboo? (more)

Wade, the National Organization for Women started screaming: “You can’t legislate morality.” When they tried to pass a law saying 13-year-olds shouldn’t have government funded access to contraception, organizations like Planned Parenthood and the ACLU were there to remind us: “You can’t legislate morality.” (more)

WICHITA, Kansas (AP) — Defiant in court, a man who murdered one of the few U.S. doctors who performed late-term abortions used his sentencing hearing to do what the judge wouldn’t let him do during his trial — justify his crime by describing abortion in gritty detail. (more)
