Mr. Obama has now presented them with what is, arguably, his most outrageous pick to date: the nomination of Thomas Perez to become the next secretary of labor…..

One other, particularly worrisome aspect of Mr. Perez’s record that should not be implicitly, let alone explicitly, endorsed by the Senate is his enthusiastic embrace of Islamists and their causes. In October 2011, HE DID SO LITERALLY WITH SUCH ENTHUSIASM THAT HE LEAPT ONTO A STAGE AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ORDER TO HUG THE LEADER OF THE LARGEST MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD FRONT GROUP IN THE UNITED STATES: MOHAMED MAGID, PRESIDENT OF THE ISLAMIC SOCIETY OF NORTH AMERICA.

HIS DIVISION HAS ALSO INTERVENED IN COURT TO FORCE A SCHOOL IN ILLINOIS TO GIVE A NEW TEACHER TIME OFF WITH PAY TO MAKE THE PILGRIMAGE TO MECCA CALLED THE HAJJ.

BUILDING MANAGERS AND LEGISLATIVE STAFFERS HAVE SOUGHT TO REASSURE SOME CONCERNED TENNESSEE LAWMAKERS THAT RECENT RENOVATIONS AT THE STATE CAPITOL DID NOT INSTALL SPECIAL FACILITIES FOR MUSLIMS TO WASH THEIR FEET BEFORE PRAYING.

“I CONFIRMED WITH THE FACILITY ADMINISTRATOR FOR THE STATE CAPITOL COMPLEX THAT THE FLOOR-LEVEL SINK INSTALLED IN THE MEN’S RESTROOM OUTSIDE THE HOUSE CHAMBER IS FOR HOUSEKEEPING USE,” Legislative Administration Director Connie Ridley wrote in an email. “IT IS, IN LAYMAN’S TERMS, A MOP SINK.”

The nearly $16 million renovation completed in December focused on upgrading electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems in the more than 150-year-old Capitol. Parts of the building also got new carpets, paint and security upgrades.

Senate Clerk Russell Humphrey said he had been approached by a House and Senate member to inquire about the sink, which replaced a utility sink that had been mounted higher on the wall and was used for filling and emptying buckets.

“There was concern about why it had been modified,” said Humphrey, who declined to identify the lawmakers or elaborate on their concerns.

I think the bigger issue is that the TN government pissed that many tax dollars down the drain on such a pretty sink to wash nasty old mops. Where's the fiscal con response on that one in the legislature?

The infamous Islamic Foot Washing Bath or Mop Sink:

Well, if this is actually a "mop sink", I doubt it is going to be able to be kept clean enough for Muslims to wash their feet. They are pretty serious about keeping their prayer rugs pretty clean.

Now, it seems to me that the issue is about intent. Was this basin installed specifically forMuslims to wash their feet? If that is the intent then, perhaps the cafeteria at the building should only offer Halal and kosher products and should refrain from offering meat, on Fridays. I wonder how the lunatic left would react to that suggestion?

If this basin was installed to be a mop sink; if that was the intent and people want to wash their feet in it, why the blue fuck should I care what they do?

I really didn't expect this kind of "evidence" in a thread so titled but, I should have remembered what I learned about expectations, years ago.



Peace and comfort,
