The scary black man in the White House also happens to be a card-carrying  Muslim Socialist who was born in A-freak-a ! OHMIGOSH! You’ve got those “wetbacks”  massing on the border and  climbing ladders to get into this country  just so they can  take our jobs . YIKES! The “filthy homosexuals” aren’t happy molesting children and boning sheep anymore, now they want to get married. GASP! The Second ...
