This past week The Capital Area Association of Realtors released June home sales figures. For the second month in a row the association decided to do a previous month comparison, and year over year comparison. Why would they start a previous month comparison? In my opinion because the numbers sound better than year over year comparisons. What is being reported is factual, closed home sales for June were up over 20% from May. Sounds great doesn't it?

Darwinian evolution, wherever it has been taught, has had the effect of implicitly denying the existence of God. Whether intentional or not, this denial of God has undermined faith and promoted secularism. In this article let's examine one of the fruits of secularism, namely militant communism.

Happy Independence Day! This is the 233 celebration of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. This timeless document established the foundation for the writing of the constitution which led to the greatest democratic form of government in history. Included in the Declaration of Independence comes these words; We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.

From the beginning of his political career in 1982 as a member of the House of Representatives John McCain has supported our armed forces, worked to stop extravagant government spending, and to lower taxes. In 1986 he was elected to the United States Senate. He has fought against special interests and their lobbyists. These are the reasons many people of conservative bent like John McCain.

The McCain detractors come from liberal and conservative ilk. It is obvious that those of liberal bent don't approve of John McCain because he dislikes pork barrel spending. Those that like to waste government funds raised by taxes don't want the hay day to end. No matter that the federal government's debt is soaring and we have been lowered to borrowing from China.

At first glance, the average observer would be hard-pressed to find a link between liberalism and socialism since the two seem to be diametrically opposed.

Later this month the Republican presidential candidates will participate in debate in Colombia, South Carolina. This debate will allow Americans to see and hear what each candidate brings to the Presidential table. Perhaps there will be a leader who comes out of this debate as a favorite. Or there may just be what the Democrats have offered, which is nothing but fax-blast talking points with little honest substance. We hope someone stands out and that person must deliver answers which lock-step with true Conservatism. One of the most important of all points of debate should be addressing the American Income Tax system.

In the past few years our elected Republicans have completely turned away from Conservative principles and have actually promoted Liberal doctrine. We have seen this in the out-of-control spending and unjustified beliefs in junk science and more government control of our lives. What was once a Republican election victory through the, "Contract with America" concept has now become the Death Warrant of the same Party.

I'm certain that if I asked around, that number would increase after people see the current polls regarding Iraq.
