This video is one President out of date, but still current and fascinating as it shows how the President travels.

The Two Kinds of Romantic Love

Gene Veith: “One kind of romantic love leads to life–to marriage, fruitful sexuality, children, family, virtue. The other kind of romantic love leads to death–to sin, sterile sexuality, abortion, family destruction, ruin.”

Matt Walsh says this well: “I fear that, rather than being an exception to our culture’s pro-abortion philosophy, this celebration is simply another product of it. Leftists believe that Beyonce’s babies are real human beings not because all babies are human beings, but because Beyonce’s babies are human beings.

    You could probably make the case that we are living in the era of the lie. Maybe every era on this side of Genesis 3 has been an era of the lie, but lies seem to have taken on greater prominence than ever at a time that has been labeled as “truthy” and “post-truth” rather…
