Infuriating.

This Greek kid doesn't know his history. Greece had hells own time with the MooZ for several centuries thanks to their proximity. They were over run and subjugated. They were treated badly because they were Christans-Orthodox. Eventually the Greeks won their independence after a bloody war that ended in 1829. The hatred is still there. I remember old timers spitting on the ground at the mention of Turkey or other Mooz nations. Modern nations that think the Mooz are peaceful and well meaning have not looked at history. They do not value life, and want to destroy Christianity and rule the world. They came close to exterminating the Orthodox Greeks in a campaign of religious hatred and intolerance. The left is doing a commendable job in helping achieve thôeir goals.

Aren't those the Muslim thugs that Hussein Obama agreed in a quiet backroom deal to take off of Australia's hands and bring here to the tune of several, several thousand. And Trump, when he learned of it? Rolled over and agreed to honor the deal. Wonderful. So some of those fine upstanding young men may becoming to an American train/school/sporting event near you.


No not at all; that was for a completely different group of refugees.

The previous U.S administration had agreed to resettle a substantial number of the 1,200 asylum seekers, mainly from Afghanistan, Iran and Iraq, held in Australia's processing centres on remote Pacific islands in Papua New Guinea and Nauru.

These immigrants, located in Sydney's western suburbs, march in packs to a completely different drum.

I have worn a Cross and St. Christopher medallion everyday for 18 years now it was my 16th birthday gift.
Guess when it will be hidden, NEVER!
I was once told in college to take my American Flag down after 9/11 so the international students would not feel uncomfortable.
My response was to buy a bigger flag and fly it outside of the dorm room and kept the smaller in flying the room.
I love my God more than my Country so guess what happens if this suggestion is made to me.

The persecution we are warned of is upon us, while it has yet to be much physically in the states it is certainly strong amongst our government in regard to religious freedoms. Brace yourselves and stay strong it is only going to get worse. Raise your families to have faith and prepare them to defend it against any enemy.

My first thought!

I doubt it would take long here in the States before those criminals met someone armed and willing to defend themselves.

So, according to the police, bias motivated crime will not be tolerated, but 5 UNIFORMED OFFICERS STOOD AND WATCHED THE ATTACK.

It wouldn't have even 10 years ago. Now, I dunno, it might in some areas (SF Bay Area, Berkeley, etc). Don't like to think it would fly here at home, but it shouldn't be dismissed out of hand either, and it stresses the need to remain vigilant. Today I cleaned my rifle.....

Growing up Greek in NYC, I never connected the dots. Somehow, I equated the Otterman Empire with being just another despotic regime. My family was forcibly ejected from Constantinople back in the 20's and lost everything (except their lives thank God). My father was then born in Pa. But I digress.

The light bulb just barely popped on reading about the history of the past atrocities that were suffered back then--now I understand the reason for the depth of the animosity and distrust Greece has for Turkey.

It may start here again, but damn sure will end here.

I have posted before, a couple of years ago the Atheist Club at a college in Silicon Valley had a "draw God" day, use sidewalk chalk in the school square to draw mocking caricatures of all deities, the school admin approved. Then the Islamic Club said if anyone mocked their god, there would be trouble. The end result was they had the activity, mocked all deities, but one.

I think this Sunday I'll rotate the G42 from carry to church, and do the G30 or 21 with four magazines. This report, and the attacks on Palm Sunday among the Egyptian churches have my Spidey senses tingling...

Our brilliant 'D' governor just nixed a bill to ban sharia law in MT. These idiot Dems simply do understand that we have State and Federal law.

This REALLY pisses me off. It's like they want to purposely fark things up...just for shits and giggles. Morons, snowflakes and race mongers better pray such a system never becomes THE law.

Now wait, we really need to find out here. While the Christians say anything or do anything considered offensive while they were being beaten by the Muslims?

We should also assure that the transit officers felt safe and not offended or inconvenienced.
