Back when American voters quaintly thought they could vote against Hillary Clinton, elect Donald Trump and spare the country Barack Obama’s "third term," they were clearly seeking a course-correction. In particular, many wanted to end Obama policies favoring Shariah supremacists.
A prime example was Team Obama’s aggressive use of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division to coerce communities across the country into accepting the construction of jihadist mosques, even where inconsistent with pre-established zoning restrictions. Inevitably, in the face of the Justice Department's intimidation — or worse, places like Culpepper, Virginia would capitulate.
Now, even after the government-backed Islamists got their way in Culpepper, PJ Media reports that two attorneys in the Trump Justice Department have subpoenaed a pastor there concerning his views on Islam. This chilling police-state action is an affront to the Constitution, par for Obama’s third term, but unacceptable in a Trump administration.
