But if he had just stopped there, he could have saved himself. Then he went on to condemn Christians for the Crusades and somehow brought in Jim Crow laws as if good people did not to everything within their means to stop the killing or to condemn for their acts. As if we are just supposed to go - Oh, well, Christians did lots of bad stuff too, so we have to let Muslims have their time to do bad stuff without trying to stop them.<br /><br /><i>"Unless we get on our high horse and think that this is unique to some other place, remember that during the Crusades and Inquisition, people committed terrible deeds in the name of Christ. In our home country, slavery and Jim Crow all too often was justified in the name of Christ.<br /><br />"So it is not unique to one group or one religion. There is a tendency in us, a simple tendency that can pervert and distort our faith."</i><br /><br />Well, at least he didn't bring the Jews into it. <br /><br />BevfromNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14953050916932306270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-22739223827996501522015-02-06T10:40:17.651-05:002015-02-06T10:40:17.651-05:00I have seen a couple articles about Republicans an...I have seen a couple articles about Republicans and rape the past few days.

Brian Kurcaba (R) said during a committee hearing on a new abortion restriction, according to David Gutman, a Charleston Gazette reporter.

The left cannot let this happen. because you know who committed the same "crime." How can anyone trust him as a news anchor after this. Problem is, her majesty, the presumptive nominee did the exact same thing. So if the left allows him to be forced out, it gives solid rationale underpinning to a campaign where one is asked "how can you trust a president who lies about being in harm's way to polish her commander-in-chief creds.?"Tennessee Jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604275115906776992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-54402870439287415532015-02-05T11:06:56.905-05:002015-02-05T11:06:56.905-05:00#BrianWilliamsMisremembers is trending on twitter....#BrianWilliamsMisremembers is trending on twitter.
