I got nothin’. Been crying for the past two days.
Deport! Deport! Deport!

Stop whining and start fighting. Not with words; with what it takes to win, with what the Left used to DEFEAT freedom, liberty & law: FORCE.
Can we stop saying Islam is a peaceful religion yet?
Me again:
DEATH CULT
Waiting for Ø to order flags at half-mast. 3-2-1....
As A, Coulter points out in her book, this is what happens when America allows entrance to immigrants who hate the United States of America. We have an insane immigration policy.
(There’s nothing wrong with our laws: they simply aren’t enforced by our irresponsible, malicious executive branch.)
Rest in peace, brave Marines.
