Two weeks ago former HVAC repairman Rep. Randy Weber (R-TX) introduced a House bill that would limit the federal government to only recognizing same-sex marriages that are conducted legally in the state in which the married couple resides. In my first report on the bill, I wrote: “The only previous House legislation authored by Weber is a failed 2013 resolution …

Fox News anchor Sean Hannity is very upset about New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s comment about “extreme conservatives” and says he’s leaving New York and taking his millions with him.

This should be interesting.

Via Right Wing Watch: There can be no better demonstration of Glenn Beck’s raging hypocrisy than the perfect example he inadvertently provided on his television program last night. Extremely disturbed by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo’s statement that “extreme conservatives … have no place in the state of New York,” Beck dedicated his entire opening monologue last night to warning …

In March the annual cavalcade of crackpottery known as CPAC will return to the Gaylord Convention Center in the Maryland suburbs of Washington DC. “We are proud to announce that Senator Ted Cruz and Rep. Paul Ryan are confirmed speakers and Gov. Sarah Palin is an invited speaker for CPAC 2014,” ACU chairman Al Cardenas said in a statement provided …

“Our court didn’t see any biological evidence to support marriage being between a man and a woman. They need some basic plumbing lessons. For one omnipotent, omniscious, ubiquitous federal judge who is wise beyond his education to say to make such a declaration about the law, I think, requires revisiting by each state and compliance with the U.S. Supreme Court.” …

Rep. Mike McIntrye (D-NC) announced his retirement this week so he figures he’s got nothing to lose by joining 36 teabaggers in cosponsoring Rep. Randy Weber’s laughably doomed bill that would limit the federal government to only recognizing same-sex marriages that are legally conducted in the state where the married couple resides. McIntyre has a 10% rating from the HRC, …

“With all this heavy-duty investigative journalism and newfound faux enthusiasm for the Constitution suddenly on display, it’s obvious the No. 1 fear among the elite media is that Ted Cruz might actually run for president. They fear him not because he was born in Canada. They fear him not because of any concern for the U.S. Constitution. If anyone has …

“The US Department of Justice under Eric Holder will use its power to enforce ‘civil rights protections; in school disciplinary actions. In fact, the DoJ and DoEd are putting schools on notice that they are prepared to use their authority to investigate the claims of racial disparity in the punishment of students. This is my clear and succinct message to …

From the Koch Brothers astroturf group Americans For Prosperity: “Best friends Barack Obama and Kay Hagan support the same things, and often say the same things. So you’d think Senator Hagan would be here to greet the President when he arrives in her state. Instead? She’s hiding out in DC.”

“I’ve said this several times in Texas before and I’ve said it to Mr. Cruz as a representative of the Texas government, I’ve said it to Gov. (Rick) Perry directly, and now I’m going to say it to you as individual Texas citizens. You will see a lot of cars coming west heading east on Interstate 10, and they’re going …

“I don’t think the Tea Party is going to seize upon Fort Lee and the George Washington Bridge as their defining difference with Christie. In fact, I think he’s handling to this [sic] – being straightforward, taking action, saying ‘I’m responsible firing people’ – probably gives him some street cred with Tea Party Republicans who say, ‘That’s what we want …

Via Extra TV: “Extra’s” Mario Lopez sat down for a candid interview with former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin about her new show, “Amazing America with Sarah Palin,” and she opened up about everything, including whether she will run for president in 2016. Palin revealed, “You know I don’t have a crystal ball. I don’t know what I’m going to do …

“Many Americans are still adamantly unwilling to choke down the prospect of life under a vicious, dictatorial regime. Their eyes see past the populist disguise of socialist gangsterism. Some have (I think prematurely) concluded that America’s liberty is irretrievable defunct. But even they have by no means surrendered their allegiance to it. Others, particularly those who believe in Jesus Christ’s …

After objections from Sen. Marco Rubio, President Obama has withdrawn the nomination of William Thomas, who would have become the nation’s first black and openly gay federal judge. Orlando’s Watermark reports: Sen. Marco Rubio blocked the appointment, despite the fact that he supported Thomas’ initial nomination in November of 2012. The White House resubmitted about 200 nominees to the Senate …

“The only two people I knew who got worse press than her were Richard Nixon and George W. Bush — some of it unfairly, much of it unfair to her family. She’s recognizable, she’s attractive, and she still has the message of stop raising taxes. The Tea Party started as a group that [the government] could make go home to …

“What is the moral case for capitalism? It lies in recognition that socialism isn’t a great idea gone wrong — it’s an evil philosophy in action. It isn’t driven by altruism; it’s driven by greed and jealousy. Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may …

Via Alan Colmes: “[Iran has] to open [nuclear facilities] up to the IAEA and to US inspectors and we’ve got to make sure you’ve gotten rid of everything. Otherwise, let’s blow them all up, all the sites up, until we’re satisfied we’ve eliminated them as a threat,” Gohmert said in an interview with Fox News on Monday.”
