AND THE STUPID HATS

Now let's see... they've banned books, excoriated and threatened medical personell, stocked up on assault weapons (as well as fictional manga hero knives and swords), legalized prayer in school as well as banned recognition of slavery, genocide, and the discriminatory practices wide-spread in their communities, persistently tried to overthrow democracy, and encouraged Christian repression of everyone else, as well as given support to dangerous conspiracy loons and people who openly admire both Hitler and brutal third world dictators.

He IS in the West Bank.

The "real" America is a horrible place filled with savages.
