The crazy party

The GOP is saying they won't even consider, much less confirm, any Obama nominee for the Supreme Court.

This is almost as radical a move as refusing to raise the debt ceiling or forcing a government shutdown for lack of money, despite GOP propaganda to the contrary and the acceptance of it by mainstream journos ignorant of the constitution, politics, and history.

The bullshit and hysteria are even worse than usual because of the campaign.

Meanwhile, their front runner, The Donald, complains our dealings with prisoners are not barbaric enough.

I have made it clear in my campaign that I would support and endorse the use of enhanced interrogation techniques if the use of these methods would enhance the protection and safety of the nation. 

Though the effectiveness of many of these methods may be in dispute, nothing should be taken off the table when American lives are at stake. 

The enemy is cutting off the heads of Christians and drowning them in cages, and yet we are too politically correct to respond in kind.

And there's the murder thing.

Donald Trump has suggested there might be something to conspiracy theories doing the rounds among far-right websites that supreme court justice Antonin Scalia did not die from natural causes, as announced by the family.

Conservative talk-radio host Michael Savage asked the Republican presidential frontrunner about the conjecture that Scalia, who led the court’s conservative bloc, was murdered.

“It’s a horrible topic,” said Trump, “but they say they found the pillow on his face, which is a pretty unusual place to find a pillow. I can’t give you an answer ... I literally just heard it a little while ago. It’s just starting to come out now, as you know, Michael.”

Meanwhile, Ted Cruz, the culture warrior from Canada, makes it as clear as possible he does not share my values.

"For far too long, Christians have been staying home, have been ceding the public square to non-believers and when we look at the state of the country, when our heart weeps at what's happening to the country and we wonder why is it that the federal government is waging war on life, is waging war on marriage, is waging war on religious liberty is it any wonder when 54 million evangelical Christians stayed home in 2012, did not vote?”

Cruz continues: "If we allow our leaders to be selected from non-believers we shouldn't be surprised when our leaders don't share our values. So what I'm working to do more than anything else is energize and empower the grassroots and do everything we can for Christians to stand up and vote biblical values."
