CORPORATE WIFE? GIVE ME A BREAK
Below is an outstanding piece written by my friend Penny Nance, who heads up Concerned Women For America. It addresses Fox News correspondent Juan Williams comments about Ann Romney coming across as nothing more than a “corporate wife” during her speech at the Republican National Convention. No further introduction is needed since Penny sums it up so well.

Did Labeling FRC a ‘Hate Group’ Prompt Shooter to Target Christian Nonprofit?
There has been much written about the unfortunate shooting Wednesday at the Family Research Council offices near the nations Capitol in Washington, D.C. The gunman, Floyd Corkins, entered the lobby with a bag that held about 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches and a 9mm handgun. Corkins shot FRC’s building operations manger Leo Johnson in the arm. Johnson the subdued the shooter until the police arrived. Honestly, I don’t know if I could have exercised that much patience if I had been shot. But Johnson’s decision was the right one.
I’m sure we’ll get more details in the coming days but one remaining issue […]
Biden Warns That Romney Will ‘Put You Back in Chains’
Speaking to an audience in Virginia on Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden told a crowd of about 1,000 – half of whom appeared to be African American – that Republican Mitt Romney would unleash Wall Street and put people “in chains.” The comment drew an immediate response from the Romney campaign, saying the comment was a “new low.”
Biden’s comments came after he took a swipe at what he said would be Romney’s policies during his first 100 days in office if he were to be elected in November. “[Romney] said in the first hundred days, he’s going to let the […]
The ‘Budget Wonk’ Next Door: Meet Paul Ryan
Mitt Romney’s selection of Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan as his GOP running mate on Saturday gave voters a brief glimpse to the 42-year-old, seven-term public servant. Ryan’s focus on the nation’s fiscal issues have earned him the reputation as a “budget wonk,” as someone who spends an inordinate amount of time crunching numbers in an effort to reduce the nation’s deficit. Here are a few more things you might not know about him.
Ryan grew up in Janesville, Wis., where he currently resides with his wife Janna and their three children. The youngest of four children, his idealistic childhood suddenly changed […]
Chick-fil-A Protest Is Not About Gay Marriage, It’s an Effort to Destroy the Church
REMINDER: Wednesday, August 1 is Eat at Chick-fil-A Day
As a journalist I’ve written three stories within the past week about the controversy surrounding Chick-fil-A (CP has written a total of 18 in 8 days) that began with comments made by the company’s president, Dan Cathy regarding his company’s belief in traditional marriage. Yet one thing Christians must keep in mind is that calls to boycott Chick-fil-A over the company’s commitment to support pro-family values is not simply a protest over same-sex marriage. It is a protest to silence Christians and […]
Chick-fil-A Flap Flips to Frat Food Fight
The latest Chic-fil-A controversy is beginning to take on the nature of a frat house food fight, according to some commentators on both sides of the issue, and calls for restraint have begun. Here’s what’s gone on in just the past few days:
• In a July 2 story published by Biblical Recorder and later reposted by Baptist Press, Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy asserts his support for traditional marriage by saying the company was “guilty as charged” when asked about the opposition his company was facing for supporting traditional marriage.
• Actor Ed Helms and leading gay rights activists express outrage over […]
