I can’t believe we’re letting this happen. I sure hope GW has big plans in the works (for demolishing Iran, soon)- otherwise we can kiss our country goodbye.

I think that breaks every rule in the PC handbook, is blatantly offensive to muslims, definitely racist......and yet, has a refined hint of homophobia added to it.

A very distinctive bouquet indeed as far as epithets go.
