Why would Batman give a poo poo about diplomatic immunity? He's not affiliated with any government, and has already racked up thousands of assault, trespassing, illegal wiretapping charges, and has a space based weapon which is all kinds of unconsionable by the UN. What's ignoring international protocol to him?

This was when he was much more goodey two shoes, Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns and Batman: Year One had just wrapped up and those were the books that prompted the much darker vigilante take on him. This was really the start of that shift to the darker version we know today, since it also saw the death of Robin.

I like that her plan to cut bureaucratic overspending (which she claims is 30% of the federal budget) is to create a massive federal bureaucracy.

quote:

The Solution:

Create a White House Office that charters teams in every federal department and agency to cut red tape, simplify procedures, reduce inefficiencies and translate mountains of bureaucratic jargon into plain language.

Charter cross-government teams to eliminate duplication of programs and identify ways to improve employee training, management selections, technology acquisition, agency budgeting and government spending.

Ooh, and in another section she says she'll make each department craft a mission statement!

GOP Presidential Hopefuls Rise To Defend Indiana Law That Many See As Anti-Gay

WASHINGTON -- Republican presidential hopefuls are lining up in defense of Indiana�s controversial �religious freedom� law, which critics warn will open the door to legal discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals by businesses in the state.

�I think Gov. [Mike] Pence has done the right thing,� former Florida governor and likely 2016 contender Jeb Bush said in a Monday interview. �I think once the facts are established, people aren�t going to see this as discriminatory at all.�

As a reason why such laws are necessary, Bush pointed to the case of a Washington state florist who was fined for refusing to provide flowers for a same-sex wedding.

�There are many cases where people acting on their conscience have been cascaded by the government,� Bush told radio host Hugh Hewitt. �This law simply says the government has to have a level of burden to be able to establish there has been some kind of discrimination. We�re going to need this. This is really an important value in our country, where you can respect and be tolerant of people�s lifestyles but allow for people of faith to exercise theirs.�

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), who is expected to announce his bid for the White House next month, dodged a question Monday as to whether gay Americans should be legally protected against discrimination. But appearing on Fox News� �The Five," he argued that religious freedom laws do make some sense.

�Obviously, it's raised a lot of debate in America about how far these laws go and what implications they would have, and it's a difficult debate to have for a lot of people,� Rubio said. �But I think the flip side of all of this debate is what about the religious liberties of Americans who do not want to feel compelled by law to provide a catering service or photography service to a same-sex marriage that their faith teaches is wrong?�

He added, �No one here is saying it should be legal to deny someone services at a hotel or at a restaurant because of their sexual orientation. I think that is a consensus view in America.�

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who has actually declared his candidacy for president, endorsed Pence's efforts in a statement Monday night.

"Governor Pence is holding the line to protect religious liberty in the Hoosier State. Indiana is giving voice to millions of courageous conservatives across this country who are deeply concerned about the ongoing attacks upon our personal liberties. I�m proud to stand with Mike, and I urge Americans to do the same," Cruz said.

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal (R), another likely presidential contender, said in a statement that he supports Indiana�s new law because he supports �religious liberty as granted to us in our Constitution.� He joined his fellow White House hopefuls in rejecting the notion that the law is discriminatory.

Famed neurosurgeon Ben Carson, a darling of the conservative movement and star of this year�s Conservative Political Action Conference, told Breitbart News that it was �absolutely vital that we do all we can to allow Americans to practice their religious ways.�

Asked about the prospect of a religious freedom law in Wisconsin, Gov. Scott Walker (R), an early frontrunner for the GOP presidential nomination, sounded noncommittal.

"Well again, in our state, there's a balance between wanting to make sure there is not discrimination, but at the same time respecting religious freedoms,� Walker said, according to WisPolitics. �We do that different ways than what they�ve done in the state of Indiana, and certainly that�s going to be part of the debate here and across the country.�

But the governor's spokeswoman told Breitbart that Walker broadly supports religious freedom as �a matter of principle.�

Can you really win a presidential election with extreme anti-gay views these days? I'm in Iowa and it seems that even the sane Republicans I know have finally conceded that gay people should be allowed to live as normal humans. Surely 50%+ of the population isn't going to vote for an idiot who supports the new Indiana law, right?

It makes me extremely hopeful for 2016 that Jeb Bush and Walker are both coming out in support of that law. I figured they were going to do a better job muzzling the crazy this time around after learning from 2008 and 2012.

I think a further question is "can you win a general election once you've been anti-gay enough to win a republican primary?"

I went to high school with a few different people who were intelligent, well-adjusted teenagers who weren't super religious or conservative, but ended up going to Liberty because their crazy fundamentalist parents would only pay for college if they went to Liberty. Felt real bad for them
