DEACE: Rand Paul: We’re all racists now

Protestors demonstrate outside Federal Courthouse before a trial that could overturn Michigan's ban on gay marriage in Detroit on Monday, March 3, 2014 in Detroit.  Lisa Brown of Oakland County, the elected clerk of a Detroit-area county says she'll follow the orders of a judge when it comes to same-sex marriage, not Michigan's attorney general.  Brown was asked about an email last fall from the attorney general's office, which warned county clerks not to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, even if a judge threw out the ban.

DEACE: Fear and self-loathing in the GOP

Never before in human history have so many people been so eager to self-immolate for a worthless cause. If the leadership of the Republican Party really is hell-bent on passing what I call "scamnesty" (aka immigration "reform"), it might as well change its mascot from an elephant to a bottle of lighter fluid.

just the ticket? Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida could stir up trouble among conservative Republicans who are waiting for one of their own in the White House. (By Greg Groesch/The Washington Times)

DEACE: Christie, Cruz and Paul — CPAC’s distinct trio
