My proof is, and it's pretty solid as far as proof goes, is that neither Hilary nor Obama has ever once referred to muslims as "Ramadan worshippers".

Either prove me wrong, or admit I'm right, please?

"This whole thing is just fake outrage"

So you have the ability to read people's minds. Impressive.

The idiot mayor of South Bend who is running for potus, has publicly said again and again and again (before announcing his run), what a good guy Pence is. But as soon as he declared his run, at that exact nanosecond, he decided Pence was a gay-bashing hatemonger, and has been bashing Pence non-stop,

Now, this mayor went to Harvard and Oxford, and worked at Mackenzie. So we can assume he's sharp. And for some reason, he has concluded it will benefit his campaign in the primary, if he goes on a mission to tell everyone how horrible Pences views on homosexuality are.

So here's my question to you, Spence, is why did this very smart guy, conclude that his popularity among democrats would increase, if he relentlessly bashed Christianity?

Answer...liberals hate christians!!!

And he claims to be a Christian, and expresses that, by embracing late term abortion and by smearing a nice guy. Hooray!!


If you read every history book ever written, you wouldn't find a comparable case of an entire political party so willingly throwing themselves upon the sword. These crazy ideas will play well in places that they will win anyway (CT and CA), if you think that's the way to win in OH, NC, and FL, good for you...

Correct. Easter is the name given to the day, on which Christians celebrate he resurrection and ascension. We celebrate what we believe took place, not the day.

What matters, is that neither Obama nor Hilary would ever refer to Muslims as Ramadan worshipers. Liberals like Muslims, so they treat them well. Liberals cannot stand true Christians (because of abortion, gay marriage, etc), so we get the middle finger at every opportunity.

it's not evidence its a conspiracy draw conclusion in your Head AKA a lie why because those people killed were not killed during Ramadan ( Ramadan 2019 in United States will begin in the evening of Sunday, May 5 and ends in the evening of Tuesday, June 4

they were killed during Prayer so of course neither Hilary nor Obama has ever once referred to muslims as "Ramadan worshippers". .. ( is that prove enough how wrong you are?





again why no issues with Trump with mentions of christians or easter

PS here is a Trump fact I am sure you didn't know

U.S. President Donald Trump released an official statement from the White House marking the holiday, "As so many people unite to celebrate Ramadan, Melania and I join in the hope for a blessed month. Ramadan Mubarak." The statement, however, did not appear on either Trump's or the White House's official Twitter accounts - a rare move for the avid social media friendly White House.

he base wouldn't like that. would they

again funny one term is religious the other General


/ˈwərSHəpər/
noun
plural noun: worshipers
a person who shows reverence and adoration for a deity.

cel·e·brate
/ˈseləˌbrāt/

acknowledge (a significant or happy day or event) with a social gathering or enjoyable activity.
"they were celebrating their wedding anniversary at a restaurant"
synonyms: commemorate, observe, honor, mark, salute, recognize, acknowledge, remember, memorialize,


so Trump can say many people unite to celebrate Ramadan is fine

but the Term easter worshipers Bad .. and with that I am done

Wayne, they referred to muslims as
muslims, as they should
have. when christians were attacked, rather than referring to them the same way, obama and hilary invented a new term.

you are the one, not me, who is physically incapable of admitting that someone on their side did something stupid and offensive. Enjoy your denial fest.

Fools led by the right wing media, following blindly as usual.

It takes a true savant of exquisitely attuned grievance collection to read an individual reference to “Easter worshippers” as an attempt to avoid acknowledging Christianity.

The most important and oldest festival of the Christian Church, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ and held (in the Western Church) between March 21 and April 25, on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the northern spring equinox.

“Easter” has no other meaning.

If anything, “Easter worshippers” puts EXTRA emphasis on the religious nature of the attack by pointing out that it happened on a day of special spiritual meaning to victims.
It implies: Not only did you attack Christians, you did it today of all days.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

when you insult someone for the beliefs they hold
most dear, and then make fun of them for saying they don’t appreciate the insult, do you know what you get? Trump in the white house, hilary on a pathetic speaking tour.

If you guys could think for yourselves rather than than being led by your outrage machine what a better world it would be ... but please carry on thinking you've got it all figured out PS I attached Trump's Tweet on the subject you will notice easter and christians are notably absent.. and also his feelings on easter and also some example of the term Ramadan worshippers in the media

PS Remember, the same people who think Obama is a Muslim also believe Trump is a Christian

How do President Obama and Secretary Clinton both come up with Easter worshippers in their tweets about the murders in Sri Lanka? To have both of them use the same term the same day is strange. Is Easter Worshipper the left’s new way to avoid the word Christian? Pathetic

I have no issues with you being outraged its when you spew outrage of your own making or when told to


Id rather base my outrage on actually things Trump has done and said

not imaginary ones

Is it the same research that informed you that tuition is the cheapest part of college? Because that must be some type of source that keeps you up to date.🤦🏽#^&♂️
