U. S. Lady connotes that she’s ‘our’ lady. Firstly, she’s not a lady and second she’s certainly not ‘ours’.

She properly belong to the ecclesiastical cognizance.

In other words, eventually she’ll belong to Satan along with a host of leftist, sex-confused perverts.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35 applies to life in general. But saying so would be un-PC and feminists would be up in arms.

There’s a bold and brave stance worthy of the $millions it costs to send her to that place of female hostility... Spain.

Yeah. A privileged, self-absorbed malcontent who thinks the world owes her a luxury living is really going to inspire girls who live in dirt huts and who are dodging bullets and rape gangs to go to school.

Every single quote from Obama in this article is pure banal drivel. Its stupefying.

Dumbass Michelle-my Spanish ancestors were educated well enough for one of their queens-Isabella-to know the art of business and finance Columbus in the 15th century-why don’t you go preach in a middle eastern country where women can’t go to school and have to wear black cloth garbage bags-or in the parts of Africa where they are still sold as slaves?
