THE NARRATIVE AND POLITICAL CORRECTNESS
“Threats to freedom of speech, writing and action, though often trivial in isolation, are cumulative in their effect and, unless checked, lead to a general disrespect for the rights of the citizen.”-George Orwell
Hey Chimney Obama, asthma is not caused by global warming. It's exacerbated by local pollutants...like cigarette smoke and dust mites.

Hi @DWStweets What's the difference between what Democrats believe & what convicted serial killer Kermit Gosnell believes. I'll wait.

I read somewhere @DWStweets is the head of the Democratic Party. Her support for abortion under any circumstances seems almost newsy, no?

And this is no idle tu quoque. The great majority of Americans oppose late-term abortion; the vast majority, maybe a unanimous majority at this point, of Democratic leaders support it without restriction. They are, without exaggeration, absolute fanatics on this subject. And proudly so.
Obama feels no differently. Neither does Nancy Pelosi, who's gone as far as to use the word "sacred" when discussing her feelings on this topic. Paul's response should be a stock answer for any GOP candidate who gets a question on a third-rail social issue going forward: We'll weigh in just as soon as Hillary Clinton does.
Want to know what Marco Rubio thinks about abortion exceptions? No problem - just as soon as Hillary tells us when life begins. Want to hear Ted Cruz's take on gay marriage? He'd be happy to provide it - just as soon as Hillary answers a simple question about how many genders she thinks there are. The wedge question should cut both ways this campaign, whether the media likes it or not.
The good news: Aftera number of atrocities that have victimized Christians from Syria, Iraq, Egypt, and Kenya over the past few months, Barack Obama finally has spoken explicitly about Christians. The bad news? At the Easter prayer breakfast, Obama chose not to pray for all of those victims of genocidal Islamist terror, but to scold Christians in the US for what Obama calls "less-than-loving expressions." He then reversed course, to much laughter.
Ahem. In Kenya last week, almost 150 Christians got slaughtered in an al-Shabaab terrorist attack, deliberately chosen by the terrorists for murder, but nowhere in Obama's official statement on that atrocity can one find a mention of their religion. Neither can one find in the statement any mention of the "less than loving expressions" of Islam. Two months ago, when a group linked to ISIS butchered 21 Christians from Egypt specifically for their religion, the White House statement on that mass murder not only didn't mention either religion, it emphasized that ISIS' attacks were "unconstrained by faith, sect, or ethnicity." Riiiiiiight.
Finally, when it comes to "less-than-loving expressions" and Christians in this country, which was less loving? The shopkeepers who welcomed LGBT customers but decline to participate in same-sex marriage events, or the people who threatened to burn them down and run them out of town? And which should concern public officials more? Kirsten Powers wondered the same thing:
How many gay people had asked to have their wedding catered by this small-town pizza joint? None. What number of gay people had been denied a slice by O'Connor? Zero. In fact, the owners told the reporter that they would never refuse to serve a gay customer who came to the restaurant to eat. The wrath of gay rights supporters rained down on Memories Pizza because O'Connor committed a thought crime. She discriminated against nobody, but thinks the "wrong" thing about same-sex marriage and she said it out loud.
Here's the thing: I didn't support the original Indiana law. I am both a Christian who doesn't believe the Bible prohibits serving a same-sex wedding and a vocal LGBT rights supporter who has blasted laws similar to Indiana's for fear that they could provide legal protection to those who discriminate against gay people.
Congrats to Duke,but I was rooting for team who had stars that are actually going to college & not just doing semester tryout for NBA.
