      <title>Michael Johns: &amp;quot;Government is the Impediment to Quality Health Care&amp;quot;</title>
      <description>Health care executive and Republican strategist Michael Johns today said that Democratic Presidential nominee Barrack Obama's plan to vastly expand the role of the federal government in American health care is likely to reduce, not increase, competitive pressures among health care payers, resulting in a reduction of quality health care access and potentially even the ultimate rationing of health care services, as has happened in other countries with similar nationalized health care systems. 

On the other hand, the health care plan of presumptive Republican Presidential nominee John McCain, Johns said, will greatly expand consumer engagement and competitive market forces in health care, leading to enhancements in the quality of care, access to care, and a reduction of overall health care costs.

Johns will discuss the merits of the McCain proposal this evening on BlogTalkRadio's Warren Michaels show. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://conservativekicks.com/kick/?url=http%3a%2f%2fmichaeljohnsonfreedomandprosperity.blogspot.com%2f2008%2f08%2fmichael-johns-government-not-free.html"&gt;&lt;img src="http://conservativekicks.com/Services/Images/KickItImageGenerator.ashx?url=http%3a%2f%2fmichaeljohnsonfreedomandprosperity.blogspot.com%2f2008%2f08%2fmichael-johns-government-not-free.html" border="0" alt="kick it on ConservativeKicks.com" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Conservativekickscom/~4/DH3uqNxs7b0" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <description>American health care executive and conservative writer Michael Johns, a former White House speechwriter and Heritage Foundation policy analyst, says presumptive Republican nominee John McCain's proposals for countering Russian aggression in Georgia and improving American health care at home are both right on target. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://conservativekicks.com/kick/?url=http%3a%2f%2fmichaeljohnsonfreedomandprosperity.blogspot.com%2f"&gt;&lt;img src="http://conservativekicks.com/Services/Images/KickItImageGenerator.ashx?url=http%3a%2f%2fmichaeljohnsonfreedomandprosperity.blogspot.com%2f" border="0" alt="kick it on ConservativeKicks.com" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Conservativekickscom/~4/QkdJ-gtvhQE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <title>Michael Johns:  &amp;quot;In Georgia, America's Defining Moment&amp;quot;</title>
      <description>Conservative writer and Republican strategist Michael Johns, a former White House speechwriter and Heritage Foundation foreign policy analyst, said today that Russia's ongoing military aggression against Georgia potentially represents a major threat to the global peace that has largely characterized the last 17 years of post-Cold War era relations between Washington and Moscow.   An assertive American response is necessary. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://conservativekicks.com/kick/?url=http%3a%2f%2fmichaeljohnsonfreedomandprosperity.blogspot.com%2f2008%2f08%2fmichael-johns-in-georgia-americas.html"&gt;&lt;img src="http://conservativekicks.com/Services/Images/KickItImageGenerator.ashx?url=http%3a%2f%2fmichaeljohnsonfreedomandprosperity.blogspot.com%2f2008%2f08%2fmichael-johns-in-georgia-americas.html" border="0" alt="kick it on ConservativeKicks.com" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Conservativekickscom/~4/OPcE-zFYBD8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <description>Conservative writer and Republican strategist Michael Johns, a former White House speechwriter and Heritage Foundation policy analyst, tonight will discuss his thesis that the fastest growing division among Americans is not between social classes, races, or even political ideologies, but between the majority of Americans who identify strongly with the United States and its values and maintain pride in the nation's founding principles, and a much smaller but growing population of Americans who hold the United States in disdain and maintain limited and sometimes no loyalty to the nation and its founding principles. Johns argues that the extensive focus on ideological and political divisions between conservatives and liberals and Republicans and Democrats has largely overshadowed this faster growing and vastly more threatening national division.

Johns will discuss this topic and the state of American patriotism generally this evening, July 31, 2008, from 10:30pm EDT/7:30pm PDT until midnight EDT/9pm PDT on The Warren Michaels Show on BlogTalkRadio, one of the world's largest online radio stations. The broadcast will be available live throughout the United States and most nations of the world, and a replay of it will be available following its conclusion. Both the live show and its replay can be heard online at: The Warren Michaels Show on BlogTalkRadio. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://conservativekicks.com/kick/?url=http%3a%2f%2fmichaeljohnsonfreedomandprosperity.blogspot.com%2f2008%2f07%2fmichael-johns-building-united-america.html"&gt;&lt;img src="http://conservativekicks.com/Services/Images/KickItImageGenerator.ashx?url=http%3a%2f%2fmichaeljohnsonfreedomandprosperity.blogspot.com%2f2008%2f07%2fmichael-johns-building-united-america.html" border="0" alt="kick it on ConservativeKicks.com" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Conservativekickscom/~4/eFF7VSWq_GU" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <title>Pastor Sentenced To Chinese Labor Camp</title>
      <description>According to the China Aid Association, Pastor Zhang Zhongxin has been sentenced to two years in a Chinese labor camp by Shandong Province authorities for participation in cultic activities.  To American ears, such allegations bring to mind images of passing around poisoned Kool-Aid or of adolescent brides forced to wed lecherous old men; however, in this case this pastor engaged in religious exercises most of us take for granted as harmless as organizing a Sunday school.

Since freedom of religion is listed in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, it is a duty of the United States to stand for this liberty in any way proper or possible around the world.

Radical multiculturalists will respond that it is not the place of the United States to be spreading American notions around the world as this could be construed as imposing Western values on other societies.  However, another axiom of the economic age in which we live posits that the customer is always right.

If the government of the People's Republic of China wishes to continue to benefit from the financial patronage and cooperation of the United States, it is only reasonable for authorities over there to respect certain inalienable rights held by all individuals irrespective of what regime they happen to live under.

After all, firms here seeking to do business with the government in terms of being granted contracts are expected to honor any number of obligations that go beyond basic human rights such as minority quotas and prevailing union wages.

It is the prayer and hope of believers in Christ around the world that Pastor Zhongxin's sentence would be commuted or suspended because in the contemporary world citizens embracing Christianity bring stability to a nation rather than disruption.  Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ assists both individuals and communities in balancing the seemingly conflicting tendencies towards order and liberty, and in so doing actually makes a nation stronger.

In the Western press, considerable debate has taken place as to the prudence of allowing China to host the 2008 Olympic games.  With the eyes of the world turning to that particular nation at this time, there would be no better gesture that China could make to prove it takes its responsibility as a leading power of the 21st century seriously than by guaranteeing that citizens within that country's borders are free to practice their religion without fear of incarceration or reprisals

      <title>Michael Johns: The Legacy of Tony Snow and the Case for John McCain</title>
      <description>In a 90-minute radio interview now available online, conservative writer and Republican strategist Michael Johns says the late Tony Snow, President George W. Bush's former Press Secretary and a former Fox News anchor, will be remembered fondly as an authentic and articulate advocate of modern conservatism, and especially for his success in communicating the vital importance of the outcome of the war in Iraq to America's global security interests. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://conservativekicks.com/kick/?url=http%3a%2f%2fmichaeljohnsonfreedomandprosperity.blogspot.com%2f2008%2f07%2fmichael-johns-legacy-of-tony-snow-case.html"&gt;&lt;img src="http://conservativekicks.com/Services/Images/KickItImageGenerator.ashx?url=http%3a%2f%2fmichaeljohnsonfreedomandprosperity.blogspot.com%2f2008%2f07%2fmichael-johns-legacy-of-tony-snow-case.html" border="0" alt="kick it on ConservativeKicks.com" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Conservativekickscom/~4/4zwfYrdJRsk" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <title>A Gentleman and Conservative Warrior</title>
      <description>IntellectualConservative.com co-editor Rachel Alexander writes that the late Tony Snow, President George W. Bush's former press secretary, made at least four major contributions to modern conservatism in a life that ended too soon. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://conservativekicks.com/kick/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.intellectualconservative.com%2f2008%2f07%2f12%2fa-gentleman-and-conservative-warrior%2f"&gt;&lt;img src="http://conservativekicks.com/Services/Images/KickItImageGenerator.ashx?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.intellectualconservative.com%2f2008%2f07%2f12%2fa-gentleman-and-conservative-warrior%2f" border="0" alt="kick it on ConservativeKicks.com" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Conservativekickscom/~4/KdfVi8XNHLM" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

      <title>Hispanosupremacists Infiltrate Evangelical Movement  </title>
      <description>Minority activists and other guiltmongers often whine that 11 am Sunday morning is often the most segregated hour of the week.  I wonder what the we-are-all-one-big family agitators have to say about the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, which bills itself as the National Hispanic Association of Evangelicals.
 
 While prominent Christian leaders are correct that all of mankind descends from one set of parents, interesting, isn't it, how these speakers only expect Whites of a more Northern European extraction to abide by such radical color-blindness.  For if a group of Caucasians a little to wrapped up in their pigmentation ratios established the Nordic Christian Association, it would not be tolerated in contemporary Evangelical circles, and rightfully so.
 
 Yet, in browsing the NHCLC's website, one finds alliances and linkages with a virtual who's who of American religion today.  On their main page at one time or another have been inks to prominent ministries such as Promise Keepers, Christianity Today, Franklin Graham's Samaritan's Purse, and Rod Parsely's Center for Moral Clarity.  Unless otherwise stated, usually such prominent banner placements denote a high degree of fellowship between the partners.
 
 As one probes deeper into the site, one discovers this outfit has conducted theological dialogue with arch apostates such as T.D. Jakes (denier of the Trinity) and Benny Hinn, known for endorsing epilepsy-esque convulsions in the name of the Holy Spirit.  Ted Haggard, the former head of the National Association of Evangelicals caught in a scandal involving a gay male prostitute dealing drugs, at one time also came bowing and scrapping before the group in an effort to curry its favor.
 
But before most weak-willed pew fillers simply shrug their shoulders and flippantly remark, "Well it's simply God's will we don't look at color" perhaps they should be told that it's doubtful the concerns of the NHCLC are as broadminded and universal in nature as they seem to be giving their socioecclesiastical imprimatur to the Hispanic conquest of the United States.
 
 For in a letter addressed to the President and Congress and in a "Statement of on Comprehensive Immigration Reform", the NHCLC calls for aliens already living here to be granted permanent legal status,  an increase in the numbers of visas granted, and a "viable guest worker program that will strengthen the economic vitality of both employer and employee".  So basically, to use  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://conservativekicks.com/kick/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.webcommentary.com%2fasp%2fShowArticle.asp%3fid%3dmeekinsf%26date%3d080618"&gt;&lt;img src="http://conservativekicks.com/Services/Images/KickItImageGenerator.ashx?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.webcommentary.com%2fasp%2fShowArticle.asp%3fid%3dmeekinsf%26date%3d080618" border="0" alt="kick it on ConservativeKicks.com" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Conservativekickscom/~4/QeLQRzK9eOI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>
