I used to believe John McCain had a sense of honor. Now I know he does not.

They’re Muslim Brotherhood, so they’re all good in Obama’s eyes.

Everybody else is bad, especially Catholic priests. You probably won’t hear a peep from him about this atrocity.

We need some Divine assistance at this point.

Is McCain a fool, or is he senile?

This is a horrific act-even shooting would be humane compared to this. I pray that God returns the favor to these pig savages in spades.

Perhaps we can have the same team that protected our Libyan delegation protect the Christians of Syria.

I am confident that the Obama Administration is going to have the BATF carefully distributing arms to just the “good guys”.

Government works, if conservatives would just get out to the way.

I bet Con-man Barry enjoyed watching that video. 10-1 odds he chanted, “Praise be Allah” while viewing it.

McCain is a cross between a Judas-goat and a Jackass...with a smidgen of horses’ @ss DNA thrown in for “diversity”.

As in the Spanish Civil War (7,000 priests killed, as well as countless lay people), the blood of our martyrs nourishes the seeds of faith.
