Honor the Founding Fathers by Supporting Independents

George Washington warned about "the baneful effects of the spirit of party," calling it "truly their [Americans] worst enemy." John Adams used especially prescient language, saying: "There is nothing I dread so much as a division of the Republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader and converting measures into opposition to each other. This ... is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution." Washington was so concerned about political parties that he devoted a major part of his Farewell Address to fighting against them.

New Film Answers Questions Behind Attempted Times Square Attack
By Martin Mawyer

No one in the media has asked the most important question regarding the recent car-bombing attempt in New York City. They know who did it. They know where it was done. They know when it was done. They even know what kind of bomb it was. But few are asking the important question: WHY it was done. Why would Faisal Shahzad want to kill hundreds, if not thousands, of innocent people? That answer can best be found in a new film produced by Christian Action Network called Islam Rising. This shocking film will not only explain why radical Islamists want to murder innocent souls, but why they want to conquer societies, communities, cities and even governments and nations.
