Not reinventing the conservative message. Just making it spicier.

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Syndey Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 39,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 14 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

My friend and fellow activist Justen Charters, who hails from Oregon, is in need of many prayers and wishes this holiday season. For over 17 months, he has been battling a debilitating (albeit unknown) condition that has take a toll on his health.
Charters is an upstanding young man. At 24, he has accomplished quite a bit on the activist front.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with him on Restoring Courage U.S. – which was a national grassroots movement I spearheaded with Nicole Pearce of UMass – Boston to stand with Israel last summer in conjunction with Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Courage” events in Israel.
Justen is a phenomenal activist, as well. He has done a great deal exposing “Occupy Portland” and similar leftists shenanigans in Oregon. He should be applauded for his work. More importantly, we need him to get better to continue his work!
This Christmas season, if you can, please pray for him and his health.
Also, please spread his video around and possibly suggest him to a doctor that could diagnose his condition. Thank you!

In an age where marriage, family, and Judeo-Christian values are under siege, it is important to pose the alternative. With contraceptives, abortion, and other unorthodox practices readily available and accepted, sperm donors should not come as a surprise.
In my time at college, I have seen ads in my university paper calling for egg or sperm donors. Most college newspapers advertise the same services. They entertain offers to make bank by giving sperm or eggs to labs for research and/or “humanitarian” causes.
In a time where students need money, this seems like a good prospect. Why not – give your sperm off through little to no effort and make money! How awesome is that?
Nevertheless, do students who partake in this understand the implications of their actions? Do they understand how many children they may potentially father?
My sister Anna Maria Hoffman, who also contributes to TheCollegeConservative, expounds on this unethical and equally demoralizing practice in her column “Sperm Donor Daddy: The Breakdown of Society“:
“On September 12, 2011, Style Exposed aired a program called “Sperm Donor”, which features 33-year old Ben Siesler, a man who has fathered 74 children. When he was in law school at George Mason University, he donated to a local sperm bank for three years and never knew he fathered so many children until recently. For each month he donated his sperm, he received $900. Throughout the documentary, he has trouble telling his fiancée Lauren about his 74 children, while they both discuss wedding plans and the possibility of having children of their own in the near future.

The hawkish and equally revered Benjamin Netanyahu released a video wishing all Christians a Merry Christmas.
Although Israel maintains that it is a Jewish state, Christians and Muslims can equally practice their faiths there.
It is refreshing to hear someone of Netanyahu’s stature issue a message like this.
Don’t be a grinch this holiday season…say Merry Christmas!

Whether you love him or hate him, Denver Broncos phenom quarterback Tim Tebow is a force to be reckoned with.
Regardless of how one views Tebow’s playing style—whether or not it is amenable to one’s tastes or preferences—they should reconcile his sportsmanship with his righteous character.
It is apparent that the sensational (and equally accomplished) 24-year-old football star faces unmitigated scrutiny from the media.
What exactly has he perpetrated that beckons their attention, one might ask?
He does not sag his pants, break the law, or immortalize superficiality like the delinquents of MTV’s Jersey Shore. Nor has he impregnated multiple girls or faced any domestic violence charges. Furthermore, he has not burned American flags, denounced capitalism, or defecated in public like his unhinged “Occupy Wall Street” cohorts.
If Tebow is a positive influence, then why is he hated by many?
The answer: he is a Good Samaritan and equally God-fearing guy—qualities that are loathed and admonished in a culture defined by Cultural Marxism.
USA Today’s Larry Touton writes, “He is clean-cut, articulate, humble, gracious in victory, hard-working, and, if that weren’t enough, he’s a humanitarian. No, not one of those “humanitarians” who does his giving in the public eye, but a humanitarian who gives quietly in the orphanages of the Philippines.”
He further expounds on anti-Tebowites: “Their dislike for Tim Tebow is not, as they would have us believe, about his throwing motion or his completion percentage; it’s all about his open professions of faith and his goody-two shoes image. When it comes right down to it, we don’t want heroes who are truly good. We want them to fail the occasional drug test or start a bar fight from time to time. It makes us feel better about ourselves.”
As a result, disdain for Tebow is best attributed to his conservative upbringing and views.

Former Speaker of the House, current GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich released a new campaign ad today.
Entitled “Rebuilding the America We Love,” this ad is hard-hitting and equally powerful.
Take a look below:
