These anti Israel dolls come to the United States .. a Christian country.. and bring their stuff.. our American kids get in trouble with a rebel flag or t shirt with words on it..

One of these days Jesus is going to come back to the land of Israel, and every knee will bow and every tongue confess, Jesus Christ is Lord....

Allowing more and more anti-American, freedom hating directives while removing all that stands for freedom…all under the guise of “tolerance”.

Everywhere people are afraid of lawsuits today because thhepublic is ding so at the drop of the hat...and there's a line of Lawyers standing in the background eager to get involved. Therefore every issue and decision is considered with what the degree of risk is if sued.

How about a “Trump won” flag? Isn’t that “free speech” as well?
