Making Fun of the Clown Car of Republican Candidates

He is a conservative, Trump and Carson are leading in the polls with conservative republicans, unless he and others state outright they do not support them or their statements, then they speak for them. It is simply illogical for George and others to keep acting as if people like Trump, Carson and conservative talk show hosts are not part of their party when a majority of their party's support them. More conservatives need to speak out against them so people will know the views Trump and others like him espouse is not what the conservative party is about. Right now they are only ones getting any attention in the conservative party.

The poll finds that the majority of Islamic Americans agree that Muslims should be able to forego the Constitution and be governed instead by Sharia law. That’s right, Sharia.

The same Sharia that says you can’t draw Muhammad, or insult him, or question his having slaves or being a pedophile. The same Sharia that says you must sympathize with terrorists. The same Sharia that says all Jews must be eliminated. The same Sharia that says you must convert, or you must die. THAT Sharia.

I recognize the interviewee for what she is. You can be very literal minded when it suits your purpose.

The people who call themselves supporters of Trump, Carson and Cruz (to name 3 of the most unhinged, in my opinion) are some scary mofos.

Big difference? We won. You didn't, and won't the next time either.

If that's a prediction about the 2016 election, the Republicans are virtually guaranteed to win in 2016. The 2013 gun control debacle practically guarantees it.

NRA News Commentary: School Shootings Happen Because Kids Don't "Respect" Firearms

A new commentary video produced by the National Rifle Association's (NRA) NRA News suggests that school shootings occur because children do not "respect" firearms or know how to handle them safely.

The claim came during the September 23 episode of the NRA News' series, Defending Our America, which brings together conservative commentators to participate in a roundtable discussion in each episode. Defending Our America has been heavily promoted by the NRA as part of the "new" NRA News, which launched on September 8. Other NRA News shows include talk radio show Cam & Company, a web series aimed at millennials called Noir, and Frontlines, a military-themed show that recently promoted the paranoid idea that North Korea could use a satellite to launch an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) attack on America. Defending Our America is sponsored by gun manufacturer Sig Sauer.

During the Defending Our America episode, co-host Del Wilber said, "When I was growing up, part of the curriculum at high schools was firearm safety and marksmanship. And we didn't have 'Columbines' or 'Newtowns' because kids were taught to respect firearms, they were taught how to handle them safely and taught what their purpose was for, and that's been long gone."

The perpetrator in the Newtown, CT school shooting was highly-trained in the use of firearms and frequented shooting ranges. Authorities who investigated the killing of 20 children and six educators at Sandy Hook Elementary school found an NRA certificate bearing the gunman's name as well as an NRA firearm training manual in his house.

Revel, I think you misunderstood me. There ARE laws on the books that require background checks for gun buyers.

Many of these mass murderers either have a mental illness diagnosis or a prior run in with the law. They are not supposed to be sold guns - yet they were.

I don't know why the stores who sold to these people haven't been brought up on charges and written about in the media.

Prosecutor to seek death penalty in Charleston church killings


CNN)—A prosecutor in South Carolina said Thursday she'll seek the death penalty against Dylann Roof, accused of killing nine people during a prayer meeting at a historic African-American church.

"This was the ultimate crime and justice from our state calls for the ultimate punishment," Charleston County Solicitor Scarlett Wilson said at a press conference.

Roof, 21, is accused of shooting participants at a June 17 Bible study class at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston, known as Mother Emmanuel. Nine people died, including the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, who also was a state senator in South Carolina.

Wilson said she'd talked to survivors of the shooting and relatives of the slain victims. Some don't believe in the death penalty, but others think it's "entirely appropriate," she said.
