Hey, feel free to put words in their mouths why don't you. Jim, your ability to just make #^&#^&#^&#^& up and have total confidence in your speculation is utterly Trump like.

And they don't worship "Easter". They celebrate the resurrection and ascension of Christ. We don't worship candy or colored eggs or bunnies carrying baskets.
Easter is about the resurrection. The people there were worshiping the resurrection. Easter Worshipers.

Phrasing it the way they did, is demeaning and trivializing. Everyone tells me what a brilliant speaker Obama was, so I can only assume it was intentional.
The Associated Press used the exact same term after the Notre Dame fire.

This whole thing is just fake outrage and a device conservatives are very practiced at. Make a ridiculous grand conspiracy charge, i.e. liberals hate Christians and then twist yourself into a pretzel to spin everything to support the narrative.

"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.
