What Keith said!!

Dingelll says it all
 

here's the best retort Ive heard yett on the phony War Against Christmas.
From a John Dingell speech to the House:

'Twas the week before Christmas and all through the House
No bills were passed 'bout which Fox News could grouse;

Tax cuts for the wealthy were passed with great cheer,
So vacations in St. Barts soon would be near;

Katrina kids were nestled all snug in motel beds,
While visions of school and home danced in their heads;

In Iraq our soldiers needed supplies and a plan,
Plus nuclear weapons were being built in Iran;

Gas prices shot up, consumer confidence fell;
Americans feared we were on a fast track to...well...

Wait--- we need a distraction--- something divisive and wily;
A fabrication straight from the mouth of O'Reilly

We can pretend that Christmas is under attack
Hold a vote to save it--- then pat ourselves on the back;

Silent Night, First Noel, Away in the Manger
Wake up Congress, they're in no danger!

This time of year we see Christmas every where we go,
From churches, to homes, to schools, and yes...even Costco;

What we have is an attempt to divide and destroy,
When this is the season to unite us with joy

At Christmas time we're taught to unite,
We don't need a made-up reason to fight

So on O'Reilly, on Hannity, on Coulter, and those right wing blogs;
You should just sit back, relax...have a few egg nogs!

'Tis the holiday season: enjoy it a pinch
With all our real problems, do we honestly need another Grinch?

So to my friends and my colleagues I say with delight,
A merry Christmas to all,

and to Bill O'Reilly...Happy Holidays.


thanks John

I seen this guy do this, it was on the floor of the House I thing, I would think they would have much better things to do with the taxpayers time.

If you guys are anything like us, putting a Nativity Scene up on public property isn?t a capital offense, but it?s close. This year a local bank that is in the very center of town had the nuts to put up a large Nativity Scene. In the local newspaper letters to the editor both pro and con but overwhelmingly pro. The bank says business has really increased in the last couple of weeks. Now most of the bars and other businesses are hanging Merry Christmas signs over their doorways. It seems the people have spoken.

Stay healthy,
Andy

Andy,
 

The one thing I don't understand is why anyone would even be mildly upset by a private organization such as a bank putting up a navitity scene. Just amazes me! This is America and we should be free to do what we desire.

There truly is a 'war on Christmas', irrespective of how some want to spin it into a minor speed bump on the road to a real celebration. And it's as much a war on Christianity as anything else, as evidenced by some local citizen of Las Cruces, NM, whining and complaining about the city seal, which, GASP!!, contains three crosses. NEWSFLASH to those in Rio Linda: "las cruces" means "the crosses" in Spanish. So this whiner wants the crosses removed from the seal, and his next target will probably be to get the city to change the name to Bugtussleville, or some other non-threatening name.

So when will the ACLU and their band of legalistic thugs go after the city name "Corpus Christi"? HOLY MOLEY! The name of a city, equating to "The Body of Christ"? But let's don't stop there, boys and girls, there are a couple of US Navy submarines that might have to be dry-docked until we can sand-blast their names off: the USS Corpus Christi and the USS Los Angeles. The legalistic term "separation of church and state" has become a linguistic cudgel that some are using to impose minority rights on the majority.

While operating within the bounds of the law, I find it totally acceptable for Christians to set up a nativity scene on public or private property - its very presence doesn't require anybody to fall down and worship the Newborn King, anymore than a menorah would cause someone else to immediately spouse Judaism. Christ's birth is a historical fact, long recognized by the majority of Americans, not to mention billions of other folks overseas, as well as our own federal government.

Merriest of Christmas to one and all!
