Q: (CNN) On Friday morning, Representative Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) stood before the Values Voters Summit and made fun of people with disabilities. After a joke about people running for office being "no-brainers," he got mock-serious. "And I do want to warn," he said, "Since most people here are Christians ... A true believer does what Jesus did ... you don't make fun of people who are impaired, have special needs. And whether you like her or not, Hillary Clinton has made clear she is mentally impaired." The crowd then displayed their values, laughing and clapping loudly. This is funny? Everyone needs to stop using disability as a punchline. Whatever you think of Clinton, jokes from people who should be leaders -- like Gohmert -- and the crowd's giddy response come with very real collateral damage for millions of people with disabilities whose humanity is too easily ignored.David Perry: At Values Voters event, GOP Rep. Louis Gohmert made fun of people with disabilities while mocking ClintonPerry: Trump mocked a reporter with disability, Coulter said Trump was mimicking a "standard retard"Perry: This doesn't play with many voters. And voters with disabilities will make views known at ballot box

Q: (CNN) Fifteen years ago today, on September 11, 2001, members of the Air National Guard leapt into action -- scrambling F-16s, putting their lives at risk, and serving as the vanguard between our country and its enemies. This should come as no surprise. The first American militia, founded in 1636, consistently lives up to the motto "Always Ready, Always There." And while most Americans are aware of the National Guard's valiant contributions on domestic missions -- its effective and rapid response to hurricanes, wildfires and floods -- perhaps the most significant contribution the Guard makes is on the battlefield. Indeed, the National Guard provides a critical link between local communities and American national security.Wendy Anderson: National Guard is more than simply a critical component of our nation's fighting forceIt is also the connective tissue bridging the civil-military divide, she says
