WUSS Rand Paul silent on gay marriage ruling

Ted Cruz called for impeachment. Bobby Jindal said he’d “just get rid of the court” entirely. Scott Walker floated a Constitutional amendment. Mike Huckabee hinted at civil disobedience. But well over 24 hours after the Supreme Court’s historic ruling making same-sex marriage legal in all 50 states, one Republican 2016 candidate has thus far remained silent: Rand Paul. While other GOP hopefuls bashed the high court’s decision to one degree or another, the Kentucky senator didn’t say anything or release a statement or respond to requests for comment from POLITICO. Paul’s silence stands in contrast to his voluble response on Thursday, when the justices ...

Protective Tariffs: The Primary Cause of the Civil War by David John Marotta & Megan Russell | 06-23-2013 Although they opposed permanent tariffs, political expedience in spite of sound economics prompted the Founding Fathers to pass the first U.S. tariff act . For 72 years, Northern special interest groups used these protective tariffs to exploit the South for their own benefit. Finally in 1861, the oppression of those import duties started the Civil War. In addition to generating revenue, a tariff hurts the ability of foreigners to sell in domestic markets. An affordable or high-quality foreign good is dangerous competition for an expensive or low-quality domestic one. But when ...

An activist climbed up a flagpole outside the South Carolina Statehouse and removed the Confederate flag early Saturday morning -- in a startling, and short- lived, protest against the controversial symbol. Bree Newsome, 30, of Charlotte, N.C., apparently is part of a group of activists. She and a man who had entered the wrought-iron fence surrounding the flag were arrested after she came back down. And the flag, which is protected by state law, was raised again a short time later. Sherri Iacobelli, a spokeswoman for the state Department of Public Safety, said that Newsome and James Ian Tyson, 30, also of Charlotte, have been charged with defacing monuments on state Capitol grounds. ...

A Ramsey county sheriff’s deputy is on paid vacation this week after he was captured on video in a downright evil beating of his K-9 partner. Ramsey County Deputy, Brett Arthur Berry is charged with assaulting a public safety dog and animal cruelty for severely beating his dog at a K-9 training seminar over the weekend.

According to Eyewitness News 5, Black Bear security told deputies they had been called into the Cobalt Lounge to ask a man to leave. Security followed him with video and saw him return to his hotel room and exit ...

Pittsfield, MA — Police in Massachusetts mistakenly attempted to barge into the wrong home Thursday afternoon. During their blunder, police offended the homeowner, 88-year Phyllis Stankiewicz. Police were responding to a report of a disturbance involving someone with a baseball bat at the address of 57 Wilson Street, Stankiewicz’s home. However, the actual disturbance was called in at 57 Memorial Drive, a block away from Wilson. According to the police report, when Stankiewicz opened the door she was holding a knife in an apparent attempt to defend her home from the would-be intruders. Police said that Stankiewicz was holding the knife at “waist level” and ...

Welcome to the exciting new world of the slippery slope. With the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling this Friday legalizing same sex marriage in all 50 states, social liberalism has achieved one of its central goals. A right seemingly unthinkable two decades ago has now been broadly applied to a whole new class of citizens. Following on the rejection of interracial marriage bans in the 20th Century, the Supreme Court decision clearly shows that marriage should be a broadly applicable right—one that forces the government to recognize, as Friday’s decision said, a private couple’s “love, fidelity, devotion, sacrifice and family.” The question presents itself: Where ...

Why the Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage could lead to civil war

[Note: this is an update to an article originally posted on May 4, 2015] Today the Supreme Court ruled 5 to 4 in favor of same sex marriage in all 50 states. My friends, we are witnessing the end of federalism in our nation. In a single vote, 5 folks basically just told the states to “stick it.” Furthermore, we are in effect nullifying the First Amendment. Consider this: what happens when a gay couple goes into a church wanting to plan a ceremony and the pastor says no? We now have a conflict between the First Amendment and individual behavior. Dissenting Justice Antonin Scalia summed up his disgust with this ruling in a footnote on page 7 (note 22). He says, “If, even as ...

Katie Dodson and Robert Boren (Image: Facebook) Oklahoma City, OK — Last month, Oklahoma lawmakers came to their partial senses and legalized cannabis oil as a means of medication. HB 2154 or “Katie’s Bill,” named after Katie Dodson, was ceremonially signed into to law yesterday by Governor Mary Fallin on Katie’s 11th birthday. Despite being a staunch advocate against legalizing this part of nature, Governor Fallin finally caved to the pressure and allowed for the legalization of cannabis oil only. Her daily doses of potent pharmaceuticals had put Katie in a daze. She began to regress and barely spoke, according to her family. However, all that changed in May when ...

Ex-Officer Lets Rip a Twitter Rant About Witnessed Baltimore Cop Corruption

Something must have kept Michael Wood Jr. up at night - perhaps what he witnessed when he was a part of the Baltimore Police Department. Was his Twitter tirade more of a confession or blowing the whistle on corruption he witnessed in the department? He blew the lid on illegal searches, beatings and even more sordid things like defecating and urinating on suspects' beds. And now that he has let it all rip, will any of the victims of such corruption get any resolution? According to Huffington Post, a current Baltimore Police Department spokesperson confirmed that Wood left the force in 2014. Wood places the responsibility for the Baltimore riots following April's brutal killing of ...

President Obama declared Thursday that "the Affordable Care Act is here to stay," after winning yet another round in the Supreme Court. But the battle's not over -- a host of legal and political challenges remain, and if anything, Republicans say they are more emboldened than ever to repeal the law. "ObamaCare is fundamentally broken, increasing health care costs for millions of Americans. Today's ruling doesn't change that fact," House Speaker John Boehner charged in a statement Thursday, vowing to continue efforts on Capitol Hill to "repeal the law and replace it with patient-centered solutions." The 6-3 decision upheld insurance subsidies ...

A Miami-Dade county police officer put his violent tendencies on display Wednesday as he threatened to beat a protester at the Miami Seaquarium. Stunned protesters looked on as officer Gary Cadet angrily marched up and said: “I’m gonna be honest with you. If I’m driving my family, coming in here, and you call me an idiot, I will stop the car and beat your fucking ass.” On June 24, protesters were demonstrating at the Seaquarium, now owned by Palace Entertainment, holding signs as people drove through the entrance. One motorist gave the protesters the middle finger as he drove by, then the protester called him an idiot. Officer Cadet witnessed the exchange and felt it was ...
Jon Stewart Rips Hypocrisy in Calls to Remove, Save Confederate Flag

After a miserable week, Jon Stewart did some celebrating on The Daily Show Wednesday night, where he covered the uproar to remove the Confederate flag from outside the South Carolina State Building and elsewhere throughout the South. Still — as Stewart may know better than anyone — every silver lining has a cloud, and the host found plenty of continued ignorance to rip apart. Stewart began with the positives, noting that supporters of the Confederate flag's removal include those attached to the older generation. Paul Thurmond, a South Carolina State Senator and the son of staunch segregationist Strom Thurmond, is among those advocating for the flag's removal. ...

COLUMBIA, S.C. (WRDW) -- Since the shooting at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, one symbol has dominated the conversation across the nation. As debate continues on the Confederate battle flag, a local student is giving his opinion. As a Black-American, as he calls himself, his take on the rebel flag might surprise you. North Augusta High School graduate Byron Thomas is now a senior at the University of South Carolina.

JUNE 25, 2015 — Millennials, or America’s youth born between 1982 and 2000, now number 83.1 million and represent more than one quarter of the nation’s population. Their size exceeds that of the 75.4 million baby boomers, according to new U.S. Census Bureau estimates released today. Overall, millennials are more diverse than the generations that preceded them, with 44.2 percent being part of a minority race or ethnic group (that is, a group other than non-Hispanic, single-race white). These latest population estimates examine changes among groups by age, sex, race and Hispanic origin nationally, as well as in all states and counties, between April 1, 2010, and July 1, 2014. ...

June 25, 2015 America is Becoming More and More Like Lesbos By Newsmachete I was reading an article about Lesbos yesterday, and it struck me that America is becoming more and more like Lesbos. Lesbos, an island of Greece, has a small population that is being inundated by illegal aliens. The Mayor of Lesbos has offered a stark vision of the migrant crisis affecting the Greek island by explaining: 'Every day (it's like) a new village is born.' Spryos Galinos' concern is justified - as more than 25,000 people have arrived on the island of about 80,000 inhabitants since the start of the year. The illegal aliens who come to Lesbos are from the ...

Now that Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has formally announced his presidential candidacy, it appears as if another candidate from the Bayou State is ready to face him head-on. Once thought to be the GOP’s strongest young leaders before having his popularity plummet 50 percent during his second term as governor, Jindal must now contend with a crawfish — perhaps the best presidential campaign parody of the 2016 election. Unlike Jindal’s perpetual and passive campaigning, the “Can This Crawfish Get More Supporters Than Bobby Jindal?” Facebook page is really just starting out but has already gained 6,814 likes in its first month on Facebook.

Breitbart Calls LGBT Pride Flag “Fascist, Anti-Christian” Under the banner of what is dishonestly called a gay pride or gay “rights” flag, hate, fascism, and intolerance has festered for years, specifically against Christians and conservatives.

The list of misdeeds and victims resulting from an increasingly emboldened Big Gay Hate Machine continues to grow. Under this banner of hate, people are outed against their will, terrorized out of business merely for being Christian, bullied and harassed ...
