Christmas is a secular holiday, stolen from the pagans and allowed to wallow in commercialism by the christians. :twisted:

And I agree this is totally silly, but schools are afraid of litigation and it's an easier path to take rather than having to acknowledge all religions.
Schools can easily defend only celebrating/acknowledging federal holidays.
And yet they're not.

It ain't a liberal thing. It's a litigation thing.

Sorry, but you aren't making any sense.

If people like you went to Iraq to save innocent people from bad guys, then people like you should continue to do that same job today wherever you are. And you should do it without regard to what the government says.

Instead, you chose to save people only when ordered to save people...and would do it again only when ordered to again.

When our government is sending in our guys to support an oppressive regime such as Saudi Arabia, while eliminating a much more secular regime such as Assad's, then we are NOT protect the interests of innocent people, despite a few individual stories. I'm quite sure some soldiers in Nazi Germany did a kid, or an innocent woman a favor...that doesn't mean they should have been invading Poland or the Soviet Union to do it.

And no, I didn't compare you directly to a Nazi. The problem is that individual soldiers continue to say that they are only obeying orders, while keeping their own personal reasons for killing people separate from the government's intent.

Hogwash. As a soldier, you are simply an expendable tool used for the purpose of someone else's profit. :nod:

It is time we call our government out for what it really does. If you want to say you fight to keep the American way, then fine...but realize that the American way includes destroying the lives, and taking the lives, of large numbers of people so that we can live our lives of relative comfort.

It is comical on a global scale that most Democrats and liberals are actually supporting the annihilation of others less fortunate than themselves, while at the same time, screaming that Republicans don't care about people less fortunate than themselves. :lol: :nod:

If you ever wondered where Chizzang and Cluck's ideologies intersect - its right ^ here...

Except for the last paragraph. Cluck does a good job of pointing out problems, but always seems to give the GOP a pass.

Somebody has to balance out your posts from left field. :rofl:

In any case, the Republicans don't paint themselves as the party of the little people. They seem a little more genuine about their goals and who they represent. That offends some people, but the scale is different.

The Dems, on the other hand, are liars on a much grander scale because they try to pander to a much larger, and more ignorant, group.

CHANGE. :rofl:

This news about Gruber blatantly lying to the stupid American people in order to pass one of the largest pieces of legislation ever, is simply another day in the office for the Dems and their Leftist allies.

Cripes, they are spelling it out for you and yet you are stupidly still in denial. :nod: :lol:
These signatures have a 500 character limit?

What if I have more personalities than that?

Meh...
The business of Politics is the business of lies (nobody is excluded)
The whole Obama is after your guns thing is obvious bullsh!t but continues to work brilliantly
Obama Care Death camps
American Freedom

Historically its even worse:
“Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He won’t tell you. I just did.”
The Republican Parties biggest hero is on record for more lies per term than any president in history

:nod:

However:
This particular batch of Democrats are not exactly covering themselves in glory :rofl:
