... "See, the idea is that a law that applies to everyone is racist because minorities are somehow incapable of getting an ID and can’t be expected to prove who they are. Asking minorities for proof of identification disenfranchises them and denies them their rights according to the left.
This episode has got me thinking that there are many other things in our society that require an ID that are equally racist and should be stamped out if we are ever to truly become a post-racial country. Here’s my top ten list of things that are racist because they require an ID:" ...
...
"If liberals think voter ID laws are so racist they should advocate the wholesale elimination of identification from our society. People are basically honest, right? If voter fraud is a myth, as they claim, then so must be underage drinking, bad guys with guns, and terrorism. Lets see the democrats try to sell the honor system as means to a safer and more racially harmonious America."

On some Democrat candidates

 
Liberal mag urges readers to 'Stop Hillary'    ... "It is already quite clear that the progressives, i.e., the outright leftists who usually dominate the Democratic Party, are not happy with Hillary and would prefer someone else, like Elizabeth Warren." ...

We Hear From Fauxcahontas   ... "I thought that was why the Democrats are now obliged to nominate a woman for President in 2016 regardless of qualifications or achievement, following the AA nomination of a black guy regardless of qualifications or achievement. In fact, I thought that was why Ms. Warren was a national figure, as a possible rival to Hillarity!" ...

Return of the Clinton Democrats (Not Really)   "Candidates call themselves Clintonites to distance themselves from Obama."  
 
Crowd Leaves as Obama Tries to Rally  "As President Obama tried to rally Democrats in Maryland, the crowd began to leave. "Remarks are open press, but one unusual thing that fellow veterans of campaign rallies confirm: some in the crowd started leaving as soon as Obama started speaking and by the time he was about 10 minutes in, there was a traffic jam next to the pool's tables as folks tried to exit the gym," reports the White House pool reporter."...


Debbie Wasserman Schultz predicts Dems 'are going to hold the Senate'  ...“ 'We are going to hold the Senate,” the Florida lawmaker told “Fox News Sunday.” “The president is not on the ballot.”
"Her remarks come weeks after Obama argued that he indeed was “not on the ballot this fall” but that “every single one” of his policies are." ...

... "Far be it from me to kick a man when he is down, but note that those who walked out on Obama were all–presumably–Democrats. They didn’t leave because they disagreed with the president, but rather because they were bored by him. Which highlights a point I have made before: contrary to assurances the Democratic Party press has been giving us for eight or ten years now, Barack Obama is a mediocre public speaker, at best."
 
 

In the land of the free and the home of the brave: the power of political correctness to intimidate and to destroy

From The Federalist: Soon after Houston passed a ‘non-discrimination’ ordinance, it has ordered dissenting pastors to submit their sermons for legal review. So, what?
... "Pastors should absolutely not be bullied, and should absolutely not change what they preach. But nor should they be ashamed of it, nor afraid of the public dissemination and scrutiny of their words spoken from the pulpit. Even under the threat of persecution and imprisonment, preachers who take their calling seriously should continue to preach Christ and him crucified, even under the penalty of imprisonment and death." ...
New America: Ordained ministers threatened with jail unless they perform same sex marriages
... "This is a law that manifestly violates the Constitution so I wouldn't expect any court in America to uphold the city statute. But the fact that it was passed in the first place should raise the alarm that the assault on religious liberty has entered a new phase. The power of government is being used in the contraceptive controversy and now the gay marriage issue to force acceptance of practices totally at odds with the religious faith of millions of people." ...

Walking the Walk: Check Out What Ted Cruz Is Doing About Houston’s Crackdown on Religious Freedom   ... "As many already know, Houston government officials have subpoenaed several prominent Christian pastors in order to obtain copies of their sermons and speeches as well as communications they have had with church members.
 
"The move was a result of radical anti-discrimination ordinances that forbid discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation. Many churches who opposed the laws found themselves on the receiving end of invasive questioning.
 
"Cruz slammed the efforts by Houston officials, saying in a statement, "  ... More..

Legal Insurrection; Houston Mayor uses lawfare against local churches  "Sparring over a city ordinance that would force businesses, among other things, to allow transgendered clientele the use of opposite sex restrooms or risk discrimination suits, Bayou City area clergy and the government aren’t exactly on the best of terms.
"Rather than placing the measure on the ballot, City Council enacted the reform via city ordinance. Rallying together, clergy and concerned citizens submitted over more than twice as many required to repeal the ordinance. Then the validity of the signatures was called to question by the city attorney." ...


Pastors to Mayor: Don’t Mess with Texas Pulpits  ... " 'The government has absolutely no reason to bully congregations who are speaking out about what they believe,” he said. “It’s none of the government’s business.”

"Alliance Defending Freedom, a law firm specializing in religious cases, is representing the pastors. They accused City Hall of going on a fishing expedition.

“ 'City council members are supposed to be public servants, not ‘Big Brother’ overlords who will tolerate no dissent or challenge,” ADF attorney Erik Stanley said. “This is designed to intimidate pastors."

From the Houston Chronicle   "City attorneys issued subpoenas last month during the case's discovery phase, seeking, among other communications, "all speeches, presentations, or sermons related to HERO, the Petition, Mayor Annise Parker, homosexuality, or gender identity prepared by, delivered by, revised by, or approved by you or in your possession.'
