| Funnyman Jim Carrey joins a long list of celebrity liberals who think the lives of those who share a different philosophy than theirs may not be worth all that much. Just consider the hate that poured out from the Left when former Vice President Dick Cheney received a heart transplant. In Carrey´s case, he views citizens who embrace the legal right to arm themselves as, well, let the "Ace Ventura" star take it from here: (Tweet) Fellow Twitter users quickly fired back at the comic actor, who has yet to respond

Typical liberal, fascist, progressive, Nazi, socialist, Communist, liberal attitude, only they know the value of some ones worth. Living in a gilded palace has skewed his perception of reality.
Stick to making funny faces, Jim.

I wonder how many armed security guards he has on his property. I guess his life is more worthy of protection than an average Joe´s? I thought the liberal champions of the 99% would think everyone was worthy of protection, not just the elite few in politics and the entertainment industry.
The movie they should have cited in the story is Dumb and Dumber, not Ace Ventura.

A remarkable sight, a washed up mediocre comedian and actor hammering the last nail into the coffin that represents his flop of a career by alienating a nation of gun owners who constitute the majority of the movie going public. Bravo Jim Carrey for your epic stupidity and thanks to you we will not be seeing you bombing on the silver screen anytime soon.

Of course, that is the progressive belief, isn´t it? THEY decide which lives are worth saving. From prochoicers advocating abortion, to Sunstein deciding seniors´ lives are not worth prolonging, to Holdren advocating population reduction, it is a very short hop indeed to forced starvation in the Ukraine or nazi death camps or North Korean prison camps.
Mr. Carrey attended Catholic schools, and presumably had some education on American values and constitutional guarantees before he became a citizen. It appears he retained nothing from any of it.

Posters 30 / 36 are correct, stay out of movie houses. I have advocated this for more than the 35 years since I moved to FL. I use that as a point of reference because I can count on 6 fingers how many times I have paid to watch any of those idiots from Hollywood. A couple of those times was to bring my grandsons to see pictures like spiderman, once it was a black and white movie probably made in Europe. I also watched the Patriot, and probably one more. Streisand, Mr. Streisand, Ferrell , Carrey and the rest don´t see a dime of my money and they also shouldn´t see any of yours. STOP GOING TO SEE FILMS.

WASHINGTON— President Barack Obama supports requiring girls younger than 17 to see a doctor before buying the morning-after pill. But fighting that battle in court comes with its own set of risks. A federal judge in New York on Friday ordered the Food and Drug Administration to lift age restrictions on the sale of emergency contraception, ending the requirement that buyers show proof they’re 17 or older if they want to buy it without a prescription. The ruling accused the Obama administration in no uncertain terms of letting the president’s pending re-election cloud its judgment when it

Projecting madly, the White House on Sunday pushed the notion that Republican intransigence is the reason that Democrats have been unable to pass a budget during President Obama’s tenure. “Right now,” said senior White House advisor Dan Pfeiffer on Fox News Sunday, “the approach of many Republicans, particularly the leadership in the House, is my way or the highway.” This is certainly rich coming from an administration that has failed to garner a single “yes” vote on its budget proposals for the past several years, even from members of its own party.

The president golfed with White House aides Marvin Nicholson, Joe Paulsen, and Michael Brush. Last Saturday, the president played golf at the same course with Nicholson, Brush, and friend and Chicago businessman Marty Nesbitt.

No doubt there are parents who have frank, frequent, open and easy discussions with their teens about sex. I’ve never met any. I do know parents, however, who were stunned to find their 15-year-old’s birth control pills in her pocketbook. Or who came home early to discover junior and a girl they’d never met frantically buttoning up. Or who found out — when their children were grown — what really went on when Meghan said she was sleeping over at Ashley’s. Such sobering tales of teens snookering mom and dad caused mixed emotions in me — a solidly pro-choice

Last fall, Ginnette Powell traveled from her home in Boston´s Dorchester section to her old middle school in South Boston - a journey of just two miles, but one that covered a huge emotional distance. Finally, she was able to leave the painful past behind. Powell endured the explosive battle over desegregation in Boston in the 1970s. Tears come to her eyes when she talks about how it took her decades to return to the place where she never felt safe as an African-American seventh-grader."It was scary because of what you were going into, getting bricks thrown at your bus.

The blockbuster brood of the periodical cicada, large insects that emerge en masse from the ground in 17-year intervals across the northeast, is on its way — and New York City’s largest public radio station is encouraging residents in Central Jersey and beyond to help track the invasion. “The whole idea came from our news director, Jim (Schachter, of Summit), who lives in New Jersey — he promised his wife that they would move from their home before the 17-year cicadas came back,”

"She was everything a foreign service officer should be: smart, capable, eager to serve, and deeply committed to our country and the difference she was making for the Afghan people," Kerry said of the slain official.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Los Angeles — Some people have had it with TV. They´ve had enough of the 100-plus channel universe. They don´t like timing their lives around network show schedules. They´re tired of $100-plus monthly bills. A growing number of them have stopped paying for cable and satellite TV service, and don´t even use an antenna to get free signals over the air.

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary….
