The CINO’s of “Les Republicains” (”The Republicans”) hold the final round of their primary on Sunday.

They will select a presidential candidate and their choice appears to be someone who came make great conservative speeches about economics and social issues, a Ted Cruz type candidate.

They hope that Francois Fillon will defeat Marine LePen in the presidential elections next spring and Fillon will likely defeat Alain Juppe after Nicolas Sarkozy and othe candidates were eliminated in the first round of voting.

From Wikipedia:

The Missionaries of Africa, commonly known as the White Fathers or the Society of the Missionaries of Africa (French: Pères Blancs; post-nominals: M. Afr.) are a Roman Catholic society of apostolic life.

Founded in 1868 by Archbishop of Alger Cardinal Charles Lavigerie, the society focuses on evangelism and education. In 2009, the White Fathers numbered 1,769 perpetually vowed members and 354 students preparing to enter the society.

Soft target and Catholic. Double whammy. Actually, the entire country of France seems like a soft target since this continues to happen time and time again.

Whenever you hear someone was killed by a knife by these monsters you should shudder. What these animals do is carve people up like poultry. Disemboweling their victims, slicing off or mutilating their genitalia and breasts.

Cops who investigated that nightclub in France vomited at the sight of what they found.

God have mercy on these monks.

France is the country where a priest was beheaded while saying mass. What changed?

Apparently, there is one death - a woman victim of this attack. Another woman was left tied up, but managed to escape and raise the alarm. But by then the attacker had fled.

This is a very bizarre case.

What’ll they go after next? Alter boys? Nuns?

Your daughter in school in gang rape/murder rampage

Your wife as she shops in a mall

Innocent Americans having a Friday night out at a club

Your co-workers as they get off work they are gunned down in a parking lot where the management has banned all weapons.

These terrorist attacks are coming to America soon and Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim friendly President, has worked to make it all possible. And corrupt Hillary was going to work even harder to give our country to the religion of peace.

BLAME THE GOVERNMENT!! Get the cut throat godless bastards out of Europe AGAIN!! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???

Americans got it (finally) and are getting rid of America's FIRST Muslim friendly President (Hillary was going to be the second).

Trump is right, get the Godless bastards out of America.

Even the Muslim cockroaches who have become US citizens are working to destroy our Constitution. That's what Muslims are commanded to do, overthrow government, kill and harass infidels and then implement Sharia Law. The end goal is society under Sharia Law, convert or die.

America would be a lot safer in the coming years if Obama were to spend his retirement in Gitmo.

Thanks—that was what I suspected. Not quite monks, but close enough for media purposes.
