FIRST Seventy-Five GOP House members voted with 182 Democrats on Tuesday to fund President Obama’s illegal action on amnesty. Many of the Republicans who voted against the “clean” DHS funding bill did so to avoid primary challenges in 2016 after it was clear SpeakerJohn Boehner and the leadership had enough votes to pass the bill. It is hard to say who voted no to save face with their constituents, but we have a good idea and will continue to do research to dig deeper and expose those members who hide their true ideological colors and put the interests of a political party first before that of the country and the Constitution. The 2016 primary season is beginning already.
When does the First Amendment not protect free speech? Apparently, when you are an African-American young boy of 12 who dares to criticize the president of the United States. CJ Pearson from Georgia, posted a viral video of himself on Youtube excoriating President Obama and now his Facebook account has been removed. While it is true that Facebook forbids anyone under 13 from having an account, CJ isn’t buying that argument and says that his criticism of our leader is the reason. We will take Facebook’s answer for removing CJ’s account at face value, but it is quite sad that in 2015, thoughts of censorship do cross people’s minds when incidents such as this occur. We salute this young patriot for his courage and are very proud of him. Keep up the good work, CJ. You don’t need a Facebook account to help make a difference.
Much has been mentioned both on this blog and in many outlets about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress on Wednesday. We just want to say once again to the “Churchill of our time” a heart-felt thanks for his courage and resolve to speak about the dangers of Iran’s nuclear capability and pointing out the perils of President Obama’s appeasement of this terrorist regime.
Final… Conservative author and icon M. Stanton Evans passed away on March 3. He was 80 years old. Mr. Evans will be sorely missed by the conservative movement.
