Comparing Islam to Nazism to Obamism

Posted on

The difference between Nazis (National Socialists) and Muslims is that Nazis turned their mind over to a funny-looking monster with a mustache, while Muslims turn their mind over to a funny-looking—at least according to the cartoons—monster with a beard.

Obama promised that you can keep your doctor and your health insurance. But he also promised to give away the time and property […]
