Promoting Obamacare: Beyond Shameful

That need has produced a number of efforts designed to lure “millennials” into taking part in this massive takeover of one-sixth of the U.S. economy.

My Favorite Chimp

The Bible makes it perfectly clear that humans are different than animals. Most importantly, only humans are created in God’s image and only humans are given “dominion” over animals (Genesis 1:26).
