"In the wake of the partial government shutdown, many establishment Republicans argued that the hardliners in the GOP, backed by the Tea Party, needed to be reigned in. Former Republican Rep. Steve LaTourette of Ohio tells David Greene about his efforts to put millions of dollars toward that goal in the 2014 mid-term elections."

This speaker, Larry Klayman of Freedom Watch, accuses the president of treason in this speech, of deliberately pursuing policies to kill members of the armed services, because he is an Islamist, and allegedly “bows to Allah”. What he is saying is the president is a deliberate mole of foreign agents determined to destroy the American way of life. And there is no pushback from the crowd and no pushback from GOP leaders." - Andrew Sullivan

Texas law requires amusement rides are insured but the state has nothing on the books for facilities storing tons of ammonium nitrate. Does that make sense?

It's an article by Chad Hemenway, News Editor for PropertyCasualty360.com, an insurance industry information resource.
Due to the lack of regulatory oversight and a lack of proper insurance coverage, the city of West has no choice but to sue West Fertilzer and to request aid from FEMA to build temporary schools.

"Insuring 30million of our fellow citizens at a price of $300M is ten bucks per. If we can’t have single payer (yet), can we at least stop whining about having to spend $10 each to provide a system by which the less fortunate among us can sign up for (lest we forget) FOR-PROFIT health insurance?"

The Christian message doesn’t contradict science, and nor is it concerned with bourgeois politics. Ultimately Christianity (and many other religions) are about transcending politics and fighting for social justice. Think of Martin Luther King Jr., Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and Thich Quang Duc – all of whom were influenced by their religion to change the world.

Earlier this month, Glenn Beck rented several rooms in downtown Salt Lake City at the Grand America Hotel to display an "Independence Through History" exhibition. This accompanied his "Man in the Moon" rally, which took place just a few miles away at the USANA Amphitheatre.
The exhibition occupied two small rooms and brought together a panoply of objects spanning three centuries. Early American currency was presented alongside 18th century Bibles, sculptures of simian "slaves" and presidential memorabilia. Many of these items derived from the personal collection of David Barton, a publisher of tea party literature.
