1. Will it never end...
Damn her and others like her. How are we supposed to begin our assault on Easter and Valentine's Day with weak, vascillating members like her in our ranks.

2. She is right - It is a Christmas tree, which is why I dont have one home.

Sometimes, malls have big Menorahs for Hanukah. Should we call that Candlesticks because we dont want to offend Christians? The debate is silly.

In the other hand, the holiday period is holiday for everybody, so I have issues calling it Christmas (except for December 25).

However, on December 25, I'd like to find a restaurant open in Massachusetts.

5. and always with an issue designed to divide and distract,
from the real issues facing Americans...not to mention deflect the heat from their own selfish, evil, greedy agenda.

8. Exactly
Most Biblical scholars say April but I've also heard September (eleventh even! *gasps*). How can you graze sheep when there's frost and/or snow on the ground? I mean c'mon.

14. Another one of the Miracles of Jesus
He made the grass grow so the sheep and cattle could graze while he was in the manger. Man, don't you people ever read the footnotes at the bottom of the pages of your Bible.

10. Pelosi is UP in my book. I'm liking her lately.
This whole Christmas business is much ado about nothing. Happy Holidays is the catch all, when you don't know who might hear it, Merry Christmas is for Christians, Happy Hanukkah is for Jews, and if someone celebrates Kwanzaa, I'm gonna wish 'em that.

Hey ...

majority of Christians, and that is good. If the congress wants to call the tree, Christmas tree I am not that upset with it. I am under the impression that Mrs Pelosi celebrates both Hanukkah and Christmas in her family. Many families over this holiday season do......

of the season. The real holiday is the season of Fitzmas. While others listen for tinkling sleigh bells and wait for snow fall, I'm waiting for the blessed crackle of indictment papers and the brown ski trails left by the recipients.:bounce:

The best thing is, you can celebrate Fitzmas all year round.:toast: And you don't have to worry about pine needles falling all over the carpet.

13. Kudos to Pelosi!
I just want to congratulate her for being one of the few democrats to have enough guts to tell the truth about what is going on in this administration.

She and the Congressional Black Caucus are among the only politicians with even a shred of truth on their side.

And then a spectrum of people who speak up once in a while.
