Pray for Michigan. Pray for the blue states. Pray for America. Pray for the world.

Only when all God’s children come to Him will we be set free.

During WWII - I wonder if we would have seen an article in a major national newspaper titled:

“Oasis of Nazi culture sits comfortably in anytown, USA”

I was in the unfortunate position of working with several of these “immigrants” as a contractor in Iraq. They brought their socialist attitude with them when they emmigrated from the ME, and believe that everything is owed to them.

And after the MI Black Caucus loses in the MI Supreme Ct. over redistricting the muzzies won’t be able to vote for John Dingell anymore, they’ll get to vote for John Conyers.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

No one I know believes me when I tell them how bad it is in Dearborn. I lived there from 2004 to 2008 and couldn’t get out of there fast enough. I couldn’t read the signs on the stores down Shafer-all in arabic. And heaven help me if I wore shorts in public.

Amen!

...religious freedom in the constitution doesn’t trump threats TO the constitution.
Islam by it’s own words is seditious, and seeks the overthrown of our government and constitution.

and, if that’s not enough, the Quran’s own words qualify as hate speech, by ANY standard.
