  • The Big Mistake
    Texas Sen.Ted Cruzsummarized the critique, saying that it’s “not a lack of competence” from President Obama, but “political correctness.”“Political correctness is killing people,” he added. Others made similar comments.LATimes
    Jeb Bush took a shot at businessman Donald Trump, calling him a “chaos candidate” and saying he would also be a “chaos president.”Rubio’s first shot at Cruz came over Cruz’s vote to end bulk collection of metadata. He then took a jab at Cruz for a vote he took against defense authorization bills. The two also diverged over what to do with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad — Cruz favored keeping him in power while Rubio said he would not shed a tear if “anti-American dictators” were forced from office.Las Vegas Sun

    “Before his international partners pop the champagne, they should remember that this is an unattainable deal based on a domestic energy plan that is likely illegal, that half the states have sued to halt, and that Congress has already voted to reject.”Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader

  • Montgomery Bus Boycott Marches On
    “The Boycott didn’t happen by accident,” legendary civil rights attorney Fred Gray said during a recent interview. “It took meticulous planning and thought. It wasn’t something that came together overnight. It took discipline and smart people.”Gray was one of the primary figures in that planning, and he served as Parks’ attorney after her arrest. The reality, Gray said, was that civil rights leaders, led by the local chapter of the NAACP, were looking for a place to make the most noise with a peaceful protest.Montgomery Advertiser
