normally i don't think much of him, but this moment here has shown that he has class! It's nice to know he's standing up for some core american beliefs and putting aside the non sense paranoia the seems attached to his side of the aisle.

"[T]his Sharia law business is crap. It’s just crazy. And I’m tired of dealing with the crazies."  Looks like he's not trying for the Republican presidential nomination after all.

You seriously didn't have two minutes to reread and fix the dozens of typos in your story before publishing? REALLY? This is embarrassing.
