They already are talking reversing 180yr ol law against head coverings on congressional floor so they can keep their fros covered. Next will be footbaths, special prayer rooms. Wonder if a Christian asked for special religious xceptions what they would be told.

Duh.

Anyone who voted for a muslim can shut the hell up. The correct answer is, NEVER vote, trust or turn your back on a muslim.

Unfortunately we are one presidency away from becoming a FORCED socialist nation! Complements of the RNC and their weak spineless complacency to go after voter fraud! This was only a test run for the big Fish election!
