Scarborough: 'Screw' GOP if they kick me out for defending mosque

At least two prominent Republicans are going against the bulk of their party to say that Muslims have every right to build an Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero.

Monday Morning, Conservative MSNBC host Joe Scarborough found himself agreeing with former Bush advisor Mark MicKinnon that Muslims have a right to build the controversial mosque.

The U.S. Senate's senior Democrat broke with President Barack Obama on Monday over the proposed Muslim cultural center and mosque in New York City, with Senator Harry Reid saying it should be built elsewhere.

- This is shameful. It is a perfect example of what's wrong with Congress. They have no shame. Reid, involved in a tough election campaign, will say and do whatever it takes to get re-elected. It is why we need to impose voter term limits on him and every other career incumbent. If the people of Nevada know what's good for them, they should remove this slime from office. If he is willing to sell out the Constitution he will continue to sell you out, Nevadans.

Chris Christie warns GOP on mosque

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a new national icon for the Republican Party thanks in part to his push for pension reforms, on Monday became the most prominent GOP figure to warn against "overreacting" to the threat of terror and painting "all of Islam" with the brush of terrorism amid the swirling controversy about the Ground Zero-area mosque.

- A Republican politician with some decency. But then again he's not a member of Congress or running for office in November.

$110K grant kept Rev. Al Sharpton quiet about Mayor Bloomberg changing term limits

$110K grant kept Rev. Al Sharpton quiet about Mayor Bloomberg changing term limits

Two years earlier, though, Sharpton stayed mum while Bloomberg rammed through a law to extend term limits so he could run again.

Why?

Perhaps because, as the city was convulsed over term limits, Sharpton's National Action Network got a $110,000 grant from a brand-new nonprofit funded by Bloomberg.

In fact, on the very day Bloomberg announced he wanted to run again, the first $50,000 of the grant was transferred to the National Action Network.

China Overtakes Japan in 2Q as No. 2 Economy

The figures underscore China's emergence as an economic power that is changing everything from the global balance of military and financial power to how cars are designed. It is already the biggest exporter, auto buyer and steel producer, and its global influence is expanding.

- Achieved largely by exporting to the United States. Taking advantage of policies that tolerate products made with cheap and repressed labor, by companies that outsourced to China.
