We’ve all heard about how Christians were thrown to the lions during the reign of the Caesars. But it is very doubtful that Christians were feeding one another to the lions. Alas, it appears that should this kind of Christian persecution become vogue in America, many Christians would doubtless join with these modern-day Caesars and [...]
There is no better indicator of oppression and tyranny worldwide than persecution of Christians, they are not the only persecuted group but Christians are by far the most numerous targets of persecution. Christianity, properly understood, cannot abide oppressive governance or stand idly and watch injustice perpetrated and propagated whether it be by individuals or in [...]
By Rodrick Samson Special to ASSIST News ServiceSpeaking at a special event in Rawalpindi, Pakistan last Thursday (January 26, 2012), Zeeshan Joseph of the All Pakistan Christian League (APCL), a political party, went on to say, “We need think tanks.

Mitt Romney has three big things going for him in today’s Republican caucuses in Nevada: Momentum (and fund-raising chops) from his big win in Florida’s primary election Tuesday. A fractured and therefore ineffectual tea party movement. And a lot of Mormon coreligionists. At this point in the campaign, with former tea party favorites Michele Bachmann, [...]

The Godliness of Government David C. Innes Judging by the low voter turnout in American elections—even in a presidential election year—some people just aren’t that into politics. But for a Christian, politics is not a choice; it’s an obligation, even if it is not always a passion. Politics is not just one subject among many, [...]
LAS VEGAS – Mitt Romney’s decisive victory in Nevada was never much in doubt. He won the state’s caucuses four years ago, kept his organization active and he could count on support from Mormons who made up a quarter of caucus goers this year. But the former Massachusetts governor’s win here, coupled with his enormous [...]
WASHINGTON – A second term for President Barack Obama would allow him to expand his replacement of Republican-appointed majorities with Democratic ones on the nation’s appeals courts, the final stop for almost all challenged federal court rulings. Despite his slow start in nominating judges and Republican delays in Senate confirmations, Obama has still managed to [...]
LAS VEGAS – Angry Ron Paul supporters overtook a special caucus Saturday night for religious voters who honor the Sabbath, prompting long lines, frantic GOP officials and voter fraud complaints.

LAS VEGAS – Defeated in the Nevada caucuses, Newt Gingrich brushed aside all talk of quitting the Republican presidential race and said he hopes a series of victories will enable him to catch up with front-runner Mitt Romney by the Texas primary in early April.

Newt Gingrich finished behind Mitt Romney in the Nevada caucuses on Saturday night—his second disappointment in a row after losing the Florida primary last Tuesday.

LAS VEGAS – Now it’s on to Colorado, Minnesota and Maine. With back-to-back victories fueling him, Republican presidential front-runner Mitt Romney is looking toward the next states that hold GOP nominating contests as main rival Newt Gingrich brushes aside any talk of abandoning his White House bid — all but ensuring the battle will stretch [...]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Republican-sponsored transportation legislation that would radically change funding for public transit advanced in the House of Representatives on Friday, leaving Democrats, city leaders and transit groups concerned that commuter systems could be imperiled.

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) said as a military veteran he found the demeaning of military commissions – especially for trying terror suspects – ‘offensive.’ (CNSNews.com/Penny Starr) (CNSNews.com) – The House approved a potentially sweeping budget reform Friday that would force federal agencies to justify an annual increase, as opposed to getting an automatic increase under [...]

House Speaker John Boehner is continuing to avoid questions from The Daily Caller about whether he supports the 103 members of the House of Representatives who want action to remove Attorney General Eric Holder over Operation Fast and Furious.

Washington, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray will likely face hard questions about his city’s speed-camera ticketing program, after a Daily Caller investigation found that the city turned a $12.1 million profit in 2011 by fining lead-footed drivers.

The recent conflict between the Catholic Church and the Obama administration is minimally about contraception, modestly about abortion and overwhelmingly about religious freedom. Framing this simply as an out-of-touch church opposing contraception is grossly mistaken. The new health care bill is trying to outflank established conscience protections by denying them to faith-based organizations that provide [...]
The state’s private-school voucher program in New Orleans — the test case for Gov. Bobby Jindal’s new statewide voucher push — has yet to produce enough raw data to show whether it is really boosting student achievement.

Israel has not and is not interfering in the political crisis in Syria, Vice Prime Minister and Strategic Affairs Minister Moshe Ya’alon said on Sunday, adding that he did not think radical Islam would take over the country in case Syrian President Bashar Assad is ousted.

In a report issued Sunday, Human Rights Watch called on Israel to lift restrictions on residency, saying they are often arbritrary and violate international and human rights law, including the right to family life. “The result has been to split families apart, to arbitrarily ban people from moving around and to arbitrarily prevent a large [...]
By Dan Williams JERUSALEM | Sun Feb 5, 2012 8:37am EST JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Asked about the profusion of foreign reports that their armed forces could soon attack Iran, Israeli officials tend to smile and shrug enigmatically, seemingly content to let such guesswork simmer. The diplomatic dumbshow, which preserves military secrecy while keeping war-wary world [...]
CHICAGO, IL, February 5, 2012―It is not the first time religion has been invoked for political gain, and it probably will not be the last.

A United Nations resolution that Washington and its allies called the best chance to stop Syria from sliding into full-fledged civil war went down to defeat, dashing hopes for a political settlement as death tolls soar in the strategically situated Arab nation.
