And our President, self-proclaimed Believer, has sentenced record #'s to death row when he was governor. Was he Christian then? And let me get this straight: was Islam evil before oil do...

In my opinion these are the physically weak people with large intellects that are very far removed from the warrior class. They must have serious self image problems deriving from a pathelogical fear of street corner bullies picking on them. So their only tool to fight back is to hide in secluded u...
