OBAMA-APPROVED ANTI-BULLYING ADVOCATE TELLS BLACK DOCTOR BEN CARSON ‘SUCK MY D*CK’



◼ Last week, Dr. Ben Carson, a possible 2016 Republican presidential candidate, stepped onto unstable political ground. Asked whether he believes that “being gay is a choice,” Carson stated that he “absolutely” did. - Ben Shapiro/Breitbart

The media, who have an interest in slandering Republican presidential candidates, took Carson’s poorly-articulated answer and used it to slam him repeatedly over the weekend, with Saturday Night Live leading the way, mocking Carson over and over again. But that was nothing compared to the typically vile output of supposed anti-bullying advocate Dan Savage. After laying out a typically illogical complaint comparing the merit of homosexual activity to that of religious living, Savage then stated:
Dear Dr. Carson,

If being gay is a choice, prove it. Choose it. Choose to be gay yourself. Show America how that’s done, Ben, show us how a man can choose to be gay. Suck my dick. Name the time and the place and I’ll bring my dick and a camera crew and you can suck me off and win the argument.

Very sincerely yours,

Dan Savage

Sen. Cotton Responds to Obama’s Jibe About Iran Letter: ‘There Are Nothing But Hardliners in Iran’



◼ Forty-seven GOP senators signed an open letter informing the Iranian regime that they will consider any nuclear agreement that Congress does not approve “as nothing more than an executive agreement between President Obama and [supreme leader] Ayatollah Khamenei.” - CNS
“The next president could revoke such an executive agreement with the stroke of a pen and future Congresses could modify the terms of the agreement at any time,” stated the letter, initiated by Sen. Tom Cotton, a freshman Republican from Arkansas.

Responding to Obama’s jibe about a coalition with “the hardliners in Iran,” Cotton said later, “There are nothing but hardliners in Iran, nothing but hardline Islamic extremists who’ve been killing Americans around the world for 35 years.”

“That’s why Iran cannot be allowed to get a nuclear weapon,” he told CNN’s Jake Tapper.

“If they’ve been the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism for 35 years, imagine what they will do if they have a nuclear umbrella.”
◼ HOW TOM COTTON’S IRAN LETTER SETS UP ‘CHECKMATE’ ON OBAMA’S IRAN DEAL - Joel Pollak/Breitbart
Democrats are pushing back against the letter, circulated by Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and signed by 47 Senators in all, that warns the Iranian regime that any deal it signs with President Barack Obama could be voided by the next president if it is not ratified by the Senate under the U.S. Constitution. They have enlisted Vice President Joe Biden and even retired Sen. Richard Lugar to disparage the effort. In so doing, they have proved Cotton’s point–and checkmated the administration.

GABBY GIFFORDS’ HUSBAND FAILED SAME BACKGROUND CHECKS HER ATTACKER PASSED

◼ Breitbart News reported that Gabby Giffords renewed her push for background checks to require purchasers at gun shows to pass the same background check her attacker, Jared Loughner, passed. - AWR Hawkins/Breitbart

Some media outlets and gun control advocated responded to the report by claiming Loughner’s successful passage of a background check simply proves the background check system isn’t sufficient. But those making this argument miss a very important point: Namely, that Giffords’ husband, Mark Kelly, was turned away twice on gun purchases in 2013 because of certain requirements and stipulations of the current background check system.

Breitbart News previously reported that Kelly went to Tucson, Arizona’s Diamondback Police Supply in February 2013 to show that “background checks are easy.” Kelly brought in a Texas ID instead of an Arizona ID and was denied because the current background check system stipulates that you can only purchase a handgun in the state within which you reside.

Kelly returned with an Arizona ID 13 days later and passed the background check for a 1911-style handgun. He then released a hidden-camera video of how easy it was to purchase the gun but made no mention of the fact that his first attempt was refused.

Last year, Breitbart News reported that Kelly’s highly-publicized AR-15 purchase was terminated as well. Kelly made such a show of his attempt to buy the rifle — telling CNN’s Wolf Blitzer his plan was to hand the gun over to someone else all along — that Diamondback Police Supply owner Douglas MacKinlay cancelled the purchase and refunded Kelly’s money.

Obama attacks Scott Walker after Wisconsin right-to-work move

◼ President Obama took direct aim at Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker Monday night after the state became the 25th in the nation to enact right-to-work laws that weaken the power of labor unions. - Ben Wolfgang/The Washington Times

In a statement, Mr. Obama said the Wisconsin bill is the latest in a “sustained, coordinated assault on unions” led by the wealthy and their friends in government, predicting it will hamper economic growth and harm the middle class moving forward.

But he saved his harshest words for Mr. Walker, a potential 2016 presidential candidate and rising star in the Republican party.

“Wisconsin is a state built by labor, with a proud pro-worker past. So even as its governor claims victory over working Americans, I’d encourage him to try and score a victory for working Americans by taking meaningful action to raise their wages and offer them the security of paid leave,” Mr. Obama said. “That’s how you give hardworking middle-class families a fair shot in the new economy — not by stripping their rights in the workplace, but by offering them all the tools they need to get ahead.”

Mr. Walker shot back and said the president could learn lessons from states such as Wisconsin.

“On the heels of vetoing Keystone Pipeline legislation, which would have paved the way to create thousands of quality, middle-class jobs, the president should be looking to states, like Wisconsin, as an example for how to grow our economy,” he said in a statement. “Our reforms are moving Wisconsin forward and helping create family-supporting jobs for people in our state.”

#9724; Freedom not to choose: Right-to-work proliferates as workers balk at paying costly union dues - Stephen Moore/The Washington Times

Unions and the think tanks they fund are in an understandable panic. History shows that when workers aren’t forced to pay union dues and fees, they usually choose not to.

A right-to-work law does not prohibit unions. There are active, powerful unions in right-to-work states. This law simply gives individual workers the freedom to choose whether to financially support a union as a job condition.
