Where did that attitude come from ?
Washington, DC.
Did the deputy over react. Yes. No question.

The Kenyan did a wonderful job dividing Americans. Who’s the racist here? It sure as hell isn’t American Christians and American conservatives.

I guess that means that diversity, multiculturalism and balkanization haven’t succeeded in uniting the country. What a surprise!
