I know that it may seem weird that a Christian would be so supportive of gun rights. You would think that we would be for gun control because we would want to end the gun violence plaguing our nation. We are for ending the gun violence but we don’t believe that we can do so…

In all it’s glory, for your viewing pleasure.(via)BTW, those of you who view this decision as judicial activism are in disagreement with your candidate. He views it as constitutional. And he should know, he’s a constitutional scholar 🙂

Using his Father’s Day speech “We need fathers to recognize that responsibility doesn’t just end at conception.” To question him about when conception begins. I would think it would be more effective to hit him with his support of infanticide but maybe they wanted to go for the low key approach.(via)
