Following Gold Star father Khizr Khan’s powerful speech at the Democratic convention last week, sales of pocket Constitutions have skyrocketed.

I hope they’re reading the Article that says the USA has to admit folks regardless of religion. Oh, wait ....
There’s a silver lining in every cloud....................
Well I don’t see how they could miss that /s
Thanks. That’s definitely more condensed than the biography of him at the link.

At least people are reading the damn Constitution.

Read Jefferson’s handling of the muslims along the Mediterranean Sea between the coasts of Morocco, Algiers, Tripoli. Of course that was a time of real MEN, as compared to the girly boys we’ve elected to protect our America.
