Rubio: ‘I hope we’ll talk about’ fewer background checks
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) says that he would like to weaken existing gun control laws with any new legislation by decreasing the number of background checks required for people who apply for concealed carry permits in multiple states.
During an interview on Fox News Sunday, host Chris Wallace asked Rubio if his filibuster of a bill to expand background checks to include gun shows and Internet sales meant that he would also vote against the final bipartisan legislation.
“Well to be fair, I haven’t read it in its totality, but I can tell you this, I am very skeptical of any plan that deals with the Second Amendment because invariably these gun laws end up impeding on the rights of people to bear arms who are law abiding and do nothing to keep criminals from buying them,” the Florida Republican opined. “Criminals don’t care what the law is.”
In GOP world, its easier to buy a gun than cast a vote.

What’s the right wing site wher people go crazy over the first lady? Is it Foxnews or just Fox or something like that? THe reason I ask is that on Slate there was a piece about TIger Woods’ non disqualification. I notice that the commenters there weren’t really outragede about anybody else’s rule infractions except Tiger’s. One guy even compared Tiger Woods with Ben Roethlesberger, an accused rapist. I was curious is any of these people also comment over there.

That’s because once you have enough like-minded people (read: racist, bigoted paranoid nutjobs) with guns, then you can attempt to intimidate voters and influence elections.
Not saying it’ll happen in America to any appreciable extent, but there have been places where it has, IIRC.

Dana’s parody was particularly pathetic and not at all funny unless you want to believe and laugh at the idea that blacks are untalented and don’t create good music. Frankly I don’t enjoy rap at all——with the possible exception of “The Revolution Will not be Televised”——but I do love and appreciate a lot of music that talented black performers, songwriters and composers produced throughout the twentieth century. Trying to diss and laugh at black musicians for not producing “complicated” music with such a shoddy parody only reveals profound ignorance, and a sense of insecurity so overwhelming that the contributions of others cannot be acknowledged. What a disgraceful news personality and network.
