Christian Conservative Calls For Liberal Professors to be “taken out and shot.” – Audio

Austin Ruse
Austin Ruse

Austin Ruse was commenting on the so-called controversy surrounding a Duke University Freshman, who announced that she was a porn star. His comments came via the American Family Radio program he temporarily hosted for Sandy Rios. On the program, Ruse blamed “the hard left, human-hating people that run modern universities” for the Freshman’s decision, and went on to say that they should “all be taken out and shot.”

That is the nonsense that they teach in women’s studies at Duke University, this is where she learned this. The toxic stew of the modern university is gender studies, it’s “Sex Week,” they all have “Sex Week” and teaching people how to be sex-positive and overcome the patriarchy. My daughters go to a little private religious school and we pay an arm and a leg for it precisely to keep them away from all of this kind of nonsense. I do hope that they go to a Christian college or university and to keep them so far away from the hard left, human-hating people that run modern universities, who should all be taken out and shot.

They Wouldn’t Even Help This Homeless Child – Video

“So many of these Fousey videos try to portray people as bad or heartless if they don’t stop and help anyone, but like seriously, people have their own problems to worry about and their own mouths or families mouths to feed… they can’t go giving money to every beggar they see. You can’t judge someone based on the fact of whether or not they give money to the poor. Good on the people who DO help, but nothing wrong with the people who don’t.”

That was a comment from one Anna Kruger, left on the latest YouTube video from FouseyTUBE. The video in question was originally based on one from Europe, which highlighted the best parts of human nature by showing the ways in which many stopped to help a similar homeless child posed on a very similar street. But Fousey found something very different when he set up the same film in America — the one place on Earth whose front-door sign reads “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses…”

One would think that most Americans, just out of simple human kindness and concern would stop for a moment to help this “homeless” child — or even to ask him what he was up to, or where his parents were. But you would be wrong. Fousey found that most people didn’t even give him a second glance. And those who did kept walking. The total take for the day: $2.19.

Stephen Colbert’s View on The Faux News Hysteria Over ‘Between Two Ferns’

Stephen Colbert tried all he could not to promote healthcare.gov, but after it was all said and done, his efforts to leave healthcare.gov out of his show proved to be a more difficult task.

Colbert began talking about the appearance the president made on “Between Two Ferns” and the made up controversy that appearance sparked on the right with the usual culprits – Faux News – leading the way.

Colbert however, was quick to point out that although Faux went all out to denounce the president’s appearance, their efforts too failed. After the “Between Two Ferns” episode aired, healthcare.gov saw a huge spike in sign-ups.

Watch Stephen’s take on the matter below.

As More People Sign Up For Obamacare, Fox News Pray for Failure – Video

So, Megyn Kelly of the Fox Information Network invited a member of the Obama administration on her Fox Information Show. Her guest, Ezekiel Emanuel knows firsthand all there is to know about the Affordable Care Act also called Obamacare, because he was an intricate part of the whole process in getting the healthcare to the American people. He went to the Fox Information Network to share some information with their viewers, but the Fox host wasn’t interested in informing anyone in their audience. She couldn’t get past the fact that enrollees in the new healthcare law is short of the initial figures the administration quoted.

Apparently, this information is more important to the Fox than real information about the law.

I mean, come on. You invite the man with the information and all you’re interested in is trying to figure out if the law is falling short of its initial figures? This is the exact informative news Fox News viewers crave… apparently.

GOP’s New War – The War On School Lunches for Poor Kids – Video


There is always a new war for these Republicans to engage in, but rest assured, you will never, never, never, ever, ever see a Republican war on tax loopholes for the rich, or subsidies to the rich, or anything involving the rich. But if it benefits the poor, they declare war!

New Poll – The President’s Approval Numbers are Rebounding

A new Bloomberg poll finds that President Barack Obama is rebounding from record-low approval ratings as he remedies the botched rollout of his health-care website and moves past the budget standoffs of the last several years.

Less than eight months before the November midterm elections, Americans are evenly split, with 48 percent approving of Obama’s job performance, up from 42 percent in December — the biggest positive change of his presidency, according to a Bloomberg National Poll. He’s also registering an improved favorability rating at 49 percent, the highest since last June.

Even so, majorities still disapprove of Obama’s performance across a broad spectrum of issues. They include the economy, a top issue for voters this year, which may threaten his party’s chances for retaining control of the U.S. Senate. Republicans need a net gain of six seats in November’s elections to retake control of the chamber.

“The six-point increase in Obama’s approval rating puts him back in the territory he typically occupies,” said Ann Selzer, founder of Des Moines, Iowa-based Selzer & Co., which conducted the March 7-10 poll of 1,001 U.S. adults that has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. “He had a post-election bump in December of 2012 and February 2013 and then a steady decline.”

An Interview Like No Other – President Obama and Comedian Zach Galifianakis – Video

President Obama made a special appearance at Funny or Die’s studios and was interviewed by non other than comedian Zach Galifianakis. You just know this was not going to turn out well or, maybe it did.

The no holds bar interview touched on all the hot topics of the day; where’s the birth certificate, being born in Kenya, why Michele Obama married a nerd, etc. Just all the normal things the American public is interested in.

Questions like, “Is it going to be hard in two years, when you’re no longer President and people will stop letting you win at basketball?” And, “so how does this work, do you send Ambassador Rodman to North Korea on your behalf? I read somewhere that you’d be sending Hulk Hogan to Syria or is that more of a job for Tonya Harding?”

But there was a point to all this. Coming up on the March deadline for enrolling in the Affordable Care Act, the president brought the attention back to healthcare.

“That’s the thing that doesn’t work?” Zach asked.

All in all, a very funny piece from Funny or Die, and definitely a must see.

Julie Boonstra Could Save Thousands with Obamacare

Julie Boonstra, has been used by Republicans to try to prove that Obamacare will literally kill people. However, claims that she would lose coverage and risk her life as a result have been debunked.

Boonstra, 49, who suffers from leukemia, is featured prominently in the Koch-backed Americans For Prosperity ads. She told a heartbreaking tale of Obamacare canceling her insurance plan and lamenting that her new one was too expensive.

“If I do not receive my medication, I will die,” Boonstra says in the ad. “I feel lied to.”

When journalists looked into her claim, Boonstra identified the new plan she chose on the Obamacare exchanges: a so-called “gold” plan from Blue Cross Blue Shield, per the Detroit News.

Her old plan cost $1,100 per month, which adds up to $13,200 a year in premiums alone — before co-pays, out-of-pocket costs and drug expenses.

Her new plan costs $571 per month, which adds up to $6,852 per year. Her out-of-pocket costs are maxed at $5,100, which means a maximum cost of $11,952 per year. That means her new plan cannot cost her more for treatment than her new plan.

In other words, Boonstra would save at least $1,248 under Obamacare.

When the Detroit News told her this, Boonstra was in disbelief, saying it “can’t be true.”

“I personally do not believe that,” she told the paper.

8 Year Old Texas Boy Kills 3 Year Old Cousin with Loaded Shotgun

An 8-year-old boy found a loaded 20-gauge shotgun and killed his 3-year-old cousin, who was visiting from Nacogdoches, Monday.

Braison Howard, 3, was killed instantly, neighbors said, at a home in Eureka near Richland Chambers Reservoir. It’s about 15 miles southeast of Corsicana.

Braison had just finished breakfast, his mother told News 8, and went outside to play with his 8-year-old cousin when the adults heard the gun blast.

Just before going out, the 8-year-old had asked to play with a BB gun, but the adults refused to give it to him, the victim’s mother said.

Braison, his two siblings, and his parents drove to Eureka from Nacogdoches last week to visit his father’s relatives. They had planned to return home later Monday.

“By all accounts, this is just a tragic accident,” said Navarro County Sheriff Elmer Tanner.

Investigators are still talking to witnesses and recounting what happened, the sheriff said, so it’s too early to know whether anyone will face charges.

At least three adults were home when the boy was shot.

Michael Dunn’s Sentencing Postponed ‘Till Friday

A judge in Jacksonville is postponing until Friday a decision on whether he will sentence a Florida man convicted of attempted murder during a confrontation over loud music ahead of the 47-year-old software developer’s retrial on first-degree murder.

Jurors deadlocked last month on a first-degree murder charge for Michael Dunn in the shooting of 17-year-old Jordan Davis outside a Jacksonville convenience store. Prosecutors have vowed to retry him on the count.

Dunn’s attorney on Monday asked that sentencing be postponed until after the second trial. Defense attorney Cory Strolla says he is concerned that statements Dunn makes at a sentencing hearing could be used against him in his second trial.

Strolla says he is stepping down as Dunn’s attorney and asked Judge Russell Healey to appoint public defenders.

Today’s Racism – Minnesota Republican Likens NBA Players to Criminals

Given that blacks represent the majority of players in the NBA, it is easy to see the racism in this Republican’s statement.

A Minnesota legislator’s tweet about the NBA has prompted hundreds of responses, with many on social media calling it racist.

State Rep. Pat Garofalo sent a tweet Sunday that read: “Let’s be honest, 70% of teams in NBA could fold tomorrow + nobody would notice a difference w/ possible exception of increase in streetcrime.”

The Star Tribune reports that when asked about the tweet, the Farmington Republican said he was “talking about NBA’s high arrest rate and that they are the only major pro league that testing positive for marijuana is not a substance abuse violation.”

Garofalo added: “No intent beyond that.”

Within two hours of his tweet, more than 600 people retweeted it and hundreds more responded. Many called the comment he made in the tweet racist.

Yes, They Are Shaping Up To Be The Worse Congress Ever

The Hill is reporting that Democrats and Republicans alike say the 113th Congress is shaping up to be the worst ever.

Veteran lawmakers are used to partisanship and stalemate, but they say Capitol Hill has sunk to a new dysfunctional low.

Congress has in some ways already closed for business until after the mid-term election. Any laws made between now and November will be minor.

President Obama’s “year of action” has started slowly and could end up as a punchline. Congressional approval ratings have hit all-time lows.

The relationships between congressional Republicans and Obama as well as between Democratic and GOP leaders on Capitol Hill lack the indispensable element of trust.

The most memorable action taken by this Congress was last year’s shutdown.
