Racist Ryan - slurring our President in every which way

by insinuating once again that Obama is not a Christian and doesn't value "western civilization values .............

"a path that grows government, restricts freedom and liberty and compromises those values -- those Judeo-Christian, Western civilization values that made us a great and exceptional nation in the first place."



"This is a huge election," said Ryan. "Please know that Mitt Romney and I understand the stakes. We understand the stakes of where this country is headed. We understand the stakes of our fundamental freedoms being on the line, like religious freedom -- such as how they're being compromised in Obamacare."

The call was organized by Ralph Reed's socially conservative Faith and Freedom Coalition. The call was originally scheduled for Oct. 25, but was then rescheduled for Sunday night.

Ryan added that Obama's vision was "a path that grows government, restricts freedom and liberty and compromises those values -- those Judeo-Christian, Western civilization values that made us a great and exceptional nation in the first place."

if Obama was a Mormon, the GOp would of destroyed him as being a member of a cult religion. Rev. Billy Graham described the Mormon religion as a deviant cult, before he endorsed Romney then they scrubbed the website.

the way they used the Catholic Church to attack Kerry. Remember? They had the bishops denying him communion, and attacking him.

thinks he represents the United States? He is delusional. The only reason he can talk stupid is because we let him. If he really wants to see oppression, then I can show him. The only problem is, he wants to infringe on our rights. He is not satisfied with practicing his own religion in peace. That is the issue. I have no problem with him practicing his religion for himself but he is going over the line if he expects to force others to follow his beliefs.

Really fuckhead? You think that Jesus would NOT approve of medical care for the poor and the hardworking families????

Something terribly terribly wrong with Ryan. He is perverting Christianity with his Ayn Rand views... he's claiming that the good Christians should be AGAINST helping anyone. He's a dangerous ideolog.

is unreal.

If President Obama were Mormon, he wouldn't stand a chance because he is also...shhhhhh....black.

But Romney's a rich white guy so it's ok.

It's unbelievable how many people still think our President is a Muslin (you know, that sheet thing and all. )

Billy Graham has turned into a big, fat hypocrite.
