This is nice to hear.

I’ve never understood the liberal logic, that somehow someone is offended by mention of Christmas, and/or, it violates separation of church and state to talk of Christmas in school.

Using this logic, then we should not have gay pride parades, since those of us who are not gay are offended at the mention of homosexuality. But the liberal criteria for evaluating gay pride parades are not the same criteria used to evaluate Christmas related activity in school.

Actually Examiner is listed as the 36th most watched site on the Internet in its category and does not have any viruses or malware connected with it.

It is sad that someone is lying about Examiner, a site that provides a place for many writers to publish their work.

It does not contain any viruses and is one of the most interesting sites on the Internet. It is associated with Getty photos, also one of the most respected sites on the Internet.

By accusing Examiner of having viruses, the accusers demean the Free Republic site which otherwise is a respectful site.

Examiner blog is a wretched hive of scum and villainy.

You should cast it out, put it away from you and repent.

Post your content here, in full.

What is happening in bringing back Christmas celebrations into the public schools is also being being passed in other states. If it hasn’t happened yet in your state, contact your representative and ask him/her to sponsor it.

As stated in the article both a menorah and a Festivus pole will be allowed.

Without Christmas, there would be no “winter break” as it’s called in my daughters school. If Christmas were in October, we’d have “fall break”. That’s the logic I use when explaining to my liberal in laws. They poo poo it. As all libs do.

They argue, “it’s half way through the year. That’s why there’s winter break”. I avoid them like the stomach flu.

If enough of us start putting the politicians on notice that we want Christmas celebrations put back into the classroom, as the 2014 elections approach, they may begin to take notice.

Call or e-mail any politician in your area that is running for office in 2014. Don’t waste time trying to convince liberals, convince the politicians.
