Francis is starting to sound like his namesake at the Vatican.
What an outstanding illustration of Liberalism being a mental disease.
I’m really looking forward to seeing these loudmouth celebrity lefties kneeling on a beach with one of their hooded ISIS pals standing next to them.
YIKES !
Just following orders:
Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we are going to have to change our traditions, our history.
We're going to have to move into a different place as a nation to provide the kind of future we all want desperately for our children.

Well dang. I really like Coppola wines, and now I have a reason not to buy any more. Why can’t these Hollywood dolts just keep their stupidity to themselves?
Yep
I seem to remember seeing an old black and white movie featuring a jack-— named Francis.
GW didn’t go about murdering men, women and children sometimes in the most horrific manner possible. You sir are despicable. To bad he won’t read this.
Moron! Washington treated his prisoners well, ISIS executes them and so does islam.
Liberalism is truly mental illness...
Francis Ford Coppola is an IDIOT!!!
I often wonder how people who are so stupid become so successful.
will he renounce his US citizenship, denounce the US Constitution and move to Pakistan?????????
How can you tell. They are taught to lie. They seem to be doing a lot of beheading, like it’s part of their religion or something.
Another leftist that should be jailed.
It became a series, with Donald O’Connor as the make human lead. I loved those movies, when I was a little kiddo.
Movie mogul Francis Ford Coppola's winery in Geyserville may be a showplace, but contractors say they haven't been paid for work they did there.
Eleven contractors have filed more than $1.8 million in mechanic's liens against the property, according to Sonoma County records. Two contractors are suing the Coppola project, named after the film director, producer and screenwriter best known for "The Godfather" trilogy.
One of the lawsuits is scheduled for a conference Thursday in Sonoma County Superior Court.
The largest claim against Coppola's winery was filed by Grassi & Associates, a general contractor from Napa that specializes in high-end winery projects. Grassi is seeking nearly $1.3 million that's been due since August, plus interest and legal fees. An attorney for Coppola said Tuesday the filmmaker's winery has paid most of the bills submitted by contractors, but final payments have been stalled because of a disagreement over the construction.
Francis Ford Coppola Winery has paid Grassi multiple millions of dollars and has a dispute over the last invoices and Grassi's responsibility to complete the project, which we are trying to work out," said Jeffrey Lowenthal.
We are hopeful for an early resolution."
Grassi president Mark Grassi and his attorney didn't return calls seeking comment.
LeDuc Dexter, a Santa Rosa plumbing contractor, is owed about $55,000, said Tom LeDuc, the company's president. Plumbers finished their work on the massive winery last summer and LeDuc is still waiting for final payment, he said.
Since August, they didn't pay us a dime," said LeDuc. "We lost our tail on it."
Under California law, unpaid mechanic's liens can lead to foreclosure on a property, forcing the owner to sell it. They also can cloud the title, affecting an owner's ability to borrow against it.
With the downturn in the economy, contractors are finding it harder to get paid, said Keith Woods, chief executive of North Coast Builders Exchange, a trade group that represents about 1,500 contractors.
There's far more of this than would have been going on five years ago, he said. This economy has put everyone in a slow-pay mode.
Coppola bought the former Chateau Souverain winery in 2006 and rebuilt it from top to bottom, renovating the winery, tasting room and restaurant and adding a park, entertainment pavilion, bocce ball courts, gallery of movie memorabilia and two swimming pools with "cabines," European-style changing rooms.
Coppola said he was inspired by Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen and other classic amusement parks. He called it "a wine wonderland, a park of pleasure where people of all ages can enjoy all the best things in life — food, wine, music, dancing, games, swimming and performances of all types. A place to celebrate the love of life."
Most of the new attractions opened last July, and the pools opened April 1.
Coppola representatives won't say what the project cost, but estimates put it close to $30 million.
In liens filed between September and Jan. 2, contractors said they are owed for plumbing, electrical, heating, tilework, doors, metalwork, sitework, sewers and other improvements.
The work was done on the restaurant, pools, bocce courts, cabanas and other areas, according to county records.
Kyle Reicher, a noted metal sculptor who owns Ferrous Studios in Richmond, said it was exciting to work on the Coppola project. It was an amazing opportunity for artisans, because of Francis' vision," he said. But he's frustrated that he hasn't been paid for much of his work. I'm still owed a lot," he said. http://www.pressdemocrat.com/csp/mediapool/sites/PressDemocrat/News/story.csp?cid=2296135&sid=555&fid=181&gallery=2356685
The American Revolutionaries were rebels that fought against Tyranny and for Freedom.
The Mohammedans deliberately slaughter civilians in order to crush Freedom and impose Tyranny.
Only a blind fool can not see the difference.
George Washington and the founders were seditionists, not terrorists. They overthrew the British authority over America and FFC is an ungrateful crumb.
61% of muslims in America are first generation immigrants. They still cling to dreams of Sharia being the law of the land.
They are not all here to join American society, a sizable portion are here to colonize the land for foreign power. Allegiance is the nation of Islam, they all bow to the segregated city of Mecca five times a day, every day.
