Abraham's Journey
From Charlie Johnston Helena, Alabama – I pretty much say all I have to say in this Thanksgiving video for CORAC. Thank you all for the fabulous work you have done these last four years to keep the home fires of faith, family, and freedom burning. In 2008, at the Easter Vigil at Immaculate Heart of […]
Read More Happy Thanksgiving!By Charlie Johnston Tyler, Texas – Well, I killed another computer going into the end of the week. When you are constantly pounding away writing, a laptop PC has a shelf life of about three to three and a half years before some of the keys stop working. This time it was primarily the P […]
Read More Steady on…By Charlie Johnston “The jar of flour shall not go empty,nor the jug of oil run dry,until the day when the LORD sends rain upon the earth.” -1 Kings 17:14 Houston, Texas – Even in my heyday I never used polls as a primary indicator in campaigns.

Read More Marching Towards the TriumphBy Charlie Johnston Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – I’m going to try to do briefer pieces every day or two until at least election. Things have gotten so crazy that to try to do any sort of comprehensive stuff is truly like trying to drink from the proverbial fire hose. But we can do some postcards on […]

Read More Comes a Mighty WindBy Charlie Johnston I am holed up, feverishly working on the last touches on my CORAC Handbook. Today was my deadline, but I will push it through the weekend, may God have mercy on my soul. Many people treat the Apocalypse and Armageddon as the same thing. They are not. The Apocalypse is the end […]
Read More Welcome to ArmageddonQuaecumque Sunt Vera By Charlie Johnston In mythology, when sunlight bursts into a dark lair of vampires, a great shrieking and furious snarling fills the air as the vampires perish. I can’t help but notice that there is a lot of shrieking and snarling coming from the left lately. The American Spectator’s Scott McKay thinks […]
