Peter King is a hypocrite, he supported the terrorist group IRA, who killed innocent British people, but hey I guess that was OK, right? Killing innocent people is OK, as long as they are not born is the United States, yup that sounds about right. I guess Jesus Christ would give all you extra points for that, NOT!

No, there are no dancing in the street when Catholics hear about a pedophile priest, but there has been a concerted effort to Deny, Deflect, Defend this “Enemy Overseas” the “Catholic Church ”, I don’t even think you could deny that fact. What would Jesus Christ, say about this so called Church, I have a few thoughts myself.

Why doesn’t this Peter T. King investigate the “Home Grown” radicalization of Irish Americans, who support the tradition wing of the IRA (Irish Republican Army), or Noraid (The Irish Northern Aid Committee), and being recruited by “Enemy Overseas” or worse “Enemy Overseas” the “Catholic Church ”, where their priests have rape our young American boys, what about that you hypocrite scumbag.

King, a Republican Member of Congress, was a big supporter of the Irish
Republican Army; and to that extent one could say that King has an anti-colonial
mindset.  Nevertheless, Rep. King’s anti-colonial mindset is not unacceptable to
the Republican Party. 
On the other hand, according to Republicans like Newt Gingrich and Mike
Huckabee, one of President Obama’s moral shortcomings is the anti-colonial
mindset that he acquired in Kenya.
One wonders whether the GOP finds fault with anti-colonialism only when it
imperils white supremacy.
