• Ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner Announces NYC Mayoral Run: ‘I Made Some Big Mistakes’

  I think he looks a lot like Pauly Shore. (You know, we never DO see them in the same room together…)

  I wonder if Finland’s gun policies are left over from the Cold War. Gotta keep them Rooskies at bay!

  And Botswana, the only green country in Africa, is majority Christian. Whoda thunk it… :)

• Report: Hofstra Student Was Shot, Killed by Cop Trying To Rescue Her

  In reply to Tankertony.

  Yeah, I’m hoping this doesn’t get the gun-grabbers going on a campaign to disarm all campus police. I’m sure they’re already having visions of UK-style law enforcement (no guns, just sticks).

• God vs. Gov’t: What Does the Constitution Really Say About the Separation of Church and State?

  In reply to GordonHarvey.

  I always figured “free exercise” included actions. At any rate, the way it should be is that while you have freedom of religion, the guaranteed protection of personal freedoms (life, liberty, property) supersedes whatever restrictions your religion places on those freedoms. So no, you can’t kill your daughter because she “brought dishonor upon your family”. She has a right to live however she wishes, just like you do.

  EastInfection: I agree wholeheartedly. If we’re supposed to be enshrining the freedom of religion, we should also be tolerating of Muslims, Mormons, Rastafarians, and any religion that believes that same-sex marriage is just fine and dandy. And the one stipulation is what you just mentioned… our country’s safeguarding of life and liberty trumps anything your religion demands to the contrary (i.e. honor killings, banning coffee/tea, ordering stores to be closed on Sunday, etc.)

• Obama Administration Under Siege From 3 Huge Scandals: Here’s Why It Could All Come Crashing Down

  In reply to VRW Conspirator.

  As long as Hillary is politically damaged now, I’m fine with that. (And there will be SOME damage… she’d have to blow off ALL the primary and presidential debates to avoid any reference to Benghazi thrown at her, either by the moderator or – if the moderator is playing ball – the opponents.)

• Rand Paul: GOP Needs to Reach Out to ‘People That Don’t Look Like Us, Don’t Wear the Same Clothes’

  May 11, 2013 at 2:36pm

  In reply to grimmster.

  I think what Rand’s trying to say is that the GOP needs to reframe their message to make it more appealing to blacks and Latinos, so that they’d realize they had more in common with the GOP than they thought. Same can be said of college students… maybe if the Young Republicans dressed more casually (more hipster, less preppie), more like-minded people would warm up to them and their message.

  In reply to Jedrin.

  Sheesh, how quickly we turn against ANY person with potential. I didn’t see anywhere in there that Rand said the GOP had to dismantle most of its policies or platforms. He’s just facing reality about figuring out what to do with the illegals already here, and still wants to strengthen our borders, which should really be top priority on the immigration (not to mention homeland security) issue.

• Here Are the Top 5 ‘Best’ & ‘Worst’ States for Business: Guess Which Ones CEOs Prefer

  In reply to welovetheUSA.

  I can only hope our Texas Rangers can take matters into their own hands if the US refuses to enforce border security.
