WHEN WILL OUR.MUSLIM PRESIDENT START GROWING HIS RADICAL BEARD.
Wow!!! Unbelievable!
After this how can the Pentagon still defend not allowing Chaplains to pray in the name of Jesus or serve communion?
Is Obama that powerful that he can actually enact discriminatory religious policies thru the pentagon that detimentally impact military members of the Christian faith, but tolerating those of other faiths?
1000% correct.
And the Muslim that killed 12 Us service men at Fort HOOD 5 years ago has not been to trial yet. Can anyone stop Obama?
Long overdue. Our Muslim women in the service can now choose from several camo patterns for their burqas. Ah, the sweet smell of hope and change, or is it Colorado air?
