Monday's Must Read Links

As part of the New Right's quest to keep you informed, let me present to you this edition of Monday's Must Read Links. Don't have time to scour the web for all the news sources. Let the New Right do it for you! Just read these, and you'll be the hit of any social gathering this week. Enjoy, and please comment.

Jack Murtha (Dem - PA) suggested that Democrats may bring impeachment proceedings against the President as a tool to force him out of Iraq. Of course, Murtha fails to mention what crimes the President has committed. Don't worry, they'll cook something up. Read about it here.

Here is an interesting article from the NY Times about how Barack Obama became a Christian. Judge for yourself. I won't touch this one . . . yet.

The New Right has already expressed perplexity at the hype surrounding Fred Thompson in regards to the GOP presidential race. Well, an article from today's Telegraph (UK) details how a lot of former Reagan official are jumping on the Thompson bandwagon. Not that Thompson would be the worst thing in the world, but I still don't get it. Anyone care to explain it for me?

Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanke, recently warned Congress of the necessity to reform entitlement programs (social security, medicare, etc.). Hallelujah. These programs will bury this country, mark my words, unless politicians get the guts to act. So, basically, there is not a chance. Read some of Bernanke's words here.

Finally, the most ridiculous story of the day from the Minneapolis Star Tribune. Apparently, some Harvard economists are suggesting taxing women at a lower rate to encourage more of them to work and to help equalize the pay gap. While the Harvard economists may want more women to work, there seems to be an opposite trend taking place in the United Kingdom. Read about it here. I am sure that this is the one tax cut that Democrats in Minnesota would actually support. I suppose they would reckon that we could afford it if they get their wish to raise Minnesota's top tax rate to the highest in the country.

Is Obama in Christ? Only God knows for sure.

Just the same, it doesn't sound like his pastor is a minister of the true gospel. This isn't the only thing I've heard about the man. As with Obama, I don't know whether the man is in Christ. On the other hand, I won't be surprised if he's not present "when the roll is called up yonder." Those whose idea of Christianity revolves around worldly matters rather than transcendent ones are not teaching the truths of the New Testament.

That is interesting about the trend taking place in the UK. It is obvious that the feminist movement, leading to a flooded workforce, has contributed nothing to the american society in the last century. In fact it has arguably led to unecessary unemployment. There are many examples of moms who work, though they have no financial need to do so, leaving less jobs for those families that need one. This has ultimately led to the decline of the american family(divorce rates higher than ever), which consequently has led to the decline of american society. NT has a great link to another article out of the UK about this family struggle in his April 27 post. Check it out!
