Rand Paul: Arrest Those Listening To Free Speech

Politics

Tea Party darling, Rand Paul, told Sean Hannity the following: PAUL: I’m not for profiling people on the color of their skin, or on their religion, but I would take into account where they’ve been traveling and perhaps, you might have to indirectly take into account whether or not they’ve been going to radical political […]

Angry Constituents Heat Up Democratic Townhalls Over Healthcare Reform

Politics

Just check out the anger that is brewing over at townhalls: Of course my headline is totally misleading. Instead of Healthcare and Democratic Townhalls, it’s actually Republican Townhalls and the issue of taxes, but my headline might get the media to actually notice that the Republicans are getting heat at townhalls over taxes and Medicare. […]

The 2012 Boogeyman–Sharia!

Misc

It looks like the field of 2012 GOP candidates are quickly setting up their boogeyman – Sharia law. For years now there has been noise on the right that Sharia law is taking over the country and now that noise is getting louder. Over at Ben Smith’s blog, he has gathered a sampling of what […]

BREAKING: Indiana Asst. AG Jeff Cox Has Been Fired

Politics

A quick follow-up on my morning post about Indiana assistant attorney general Jeff Cox calling for “live ammunition” against Wisconsin protestors. Cox has now lost his job with the state: The Indiana Attorney General’s Office said Wednesday morning that Cox’s comments were under review. A later statement said Cox was “no longer employed by this […]

ABC’s Self Inflicted Wounds

Media

I haven’t posted yet on the decision by ABC News to use Andrew Breitbart as some sort of analysis for their election night coverage. I didn’t think I really need to say how bad of a decision I thought this was, but now it’s getting beyond what I thought it would. When ABC decided to […]

SCOTUS To Hear Arguments About Westboro’s Protesting Funerals

Politics

As early as next week we could get a ruling from the high court in regards to Fred Phelps and his band of merry hate mongers from Westboro Baptist Church: The court is set to decide whether members of a fundamentalist church in Kansas who picketed Matthew’s funeral with signs bearing anti-gay and anti-Catholic invective […]

Orrin Hatch Comes Out In Support Of Park51

Society

This one should get people talking: HATCH: Let’s be honest about it, in the First Amendment, religious freedom, religious expression, that really express matters to the Constitution. So, if the Muslims own that property, that private property, and they want to build a mosque there, they should have the right to do so. The only […]

Harry Reid Opposes The Mosque

Society

This comes on the heals of Sharron Angle attacking him on the issue: The First Amendment protects freedom of religion. Senator Reid respects that but thinks that the mosque should be built some place else. If the Republicans are being sincere, they would help us pass this long overdue bill to help the first responders […]

Watch What You Photograph Or You Might Get Questioned

News

As a photographer stories like this really get my blood boiling: A few weeks ago, on his way to work, Matt Urick stopped to snap a few pictures of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s headquarters. He thought the building was ugly but might make for an interesting photo. The uniformed officer who […]

News

I guess the first amendment is null and void: A photographer taking pictures of a BP refinery in Texas was detained by a BP security official, local police and a man who said he was from the Department of Homeland Security, according to ProPublica, a non-profit news organization in the U.S. The photographer, Lance Rosenfield, […]
