Perhaps having read our earlier discussion about Rand Paul's prospects for higher office, and his need to distance himself from his father's eccentricities, the elder Paul decided to give his son something else to sprint away from.

"Chris Kyle's death seems to confirm that 'he who lives by the sword dies by the sword.' Treating PTSD at a firing range doesn't make sense," said Ron, via Twitter, in reference to the murdered SEAL sniper.

“For all the skeeters, POTUS [president of the United States] shoots clay targets on the range at Camp David on Aug. 4, 2012,” White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said in releasing the photo.

In response to Today Is Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Birthday:

Not only is Eric Metaxas' Bonhoeffer a great book, he's also a great speaker.  Here he is speaking at last year's National Prayer Breakfast.  With President Obama, Vice President Biden and Rep. Nancy Pelosi at the dais he boldly spoke about standing up for the unborn.

So what's the big deal with paying for a hooker in the Dominican Republican? Senator Menendez is under serious scrutiny over allegations that he paid for underage hookers while on vacation in the Dominican Republican. But how far could this investigation go? If Menendez really had 'relations' with these 'ladies of the night,' was he alone?

Did Menendez bring along other friends on these trips to the Carribbean? If he did, do any of them wear the same nifty lapel pin that he does?

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a Lutheran pastor and German patriot hanged by the Nazis for his involvement in a plot to assassinate Hitler, would be 107 years old today. Bonhoeffer's extraordinary story of open defiance to Hitler out of loyalty to Christ, is told brilliantly by Eric Metaxas in "Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy." This moving biography is not only the story of a man who went joyfully to his death, honored that God chose him to suffer as the Jews suffered, but also a chilling look at the slow creep of anti-Christian fascism at the hands of the state.

Today, Metaxas wonders what Bonhoeffer would think of our own government's attacks on religious freedom, which is well worth a read:

The congressman told me he was "fifty-fifty" on a potential senate bid in 2014, filling the seat of out-going Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA).  

If King were to win that seat, can you imagine a better upgrade for our nation?  Harkin out and King in?

In response to My First Gun Show: The Bitter Clinger Interview Edition :

Hard to believe that this is Jerome's very first gun show. But then again, he doesn't strike me as the 'rough and tough' side-arm-toting gun enthusiast that usually frequents these gun shows. Well the girl in the video is correct, this is all about fear. But gun manufacturers and dealers are loving the short-term sales bonanza they are experiencing due to the proposed gun control measures Obama and his peeps want to implement. Obama is bad for the overall economy, but at gunshows, the Skeet Shooter-in-Chief brings in the big bucks for gun dealers

This story didn't get a lot of play yesterday, but it can't be repeated enough. Job growth per month over the past four years averaged a whopping 25,000—100k shy of conservative estimates of how many jobs we need to create per month just to keep up with population growth.

And we can see Obama's logic clearly: can't keep up with population growth? Stunt population growth! Free NuvaRings for all!

Why are second amendment supporters afraid to discuss Gabby Giffords when talking gun control? It is a tragedy what happened to Mrs. Giffords. As a result of being shot by a deranged Jared Lee Loughner she suffered a physical disability. 

Can someone who is physically disabled handle the weapon in a safe manner and especially when under a stress as in self defense?
