It makes a lot of good because if you say sometime innocently, something that is innocently put across could be distorted and magnified for social purpose “The purpose of government is to provide security for people and property.

Since when did MURIC become the equivalent of CAN

So thatyou can carry on with ethnic cleansing smoothly. Tell us what is public and private in national issue that we dont know.

Because National issues are secret cult affair.

MURIC is different. It is sister organisation to BMO and MIyetti Allah.

Ahhh... Even Boko Haram

As a religious organization if you try it US, that day you begin to pay tax. You can critizes a policy of government when you are not contributing a dime to the coffers of the government.

No difference between CAN and MURIC...talkatives
