Arizona school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project

I didn't know school officials had judicial power.

BTTT

The war you're talking about is the war for the almighty retail dollar.

Let me know when they start locking up folks celebrating Christmas.

Any time anyone wishes me "Happy Holidays", I answer cheerily with "Merry Christmas!" (Unless the person is wearing a Star of David, in which case my response is "Happy Hannukkah!")

My small contribution to the war effort.

"Arizona school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project"

You wonder how many years of therapy kids will be in because this is could lower their self esteem.

Ask these "Christmas haters" if they plan to go to work
on Dec. 25. If you hate it that much, just go into your
office and make like it's another workday. (I don't mean
the folks like police, fire, etc. who often are forced
to work the holiday... I mean that guy or gal in your
office who gets all hot and bothered when you wish them
a Merry Christmas. Ask them if they plan to volunteer to
work on Dec. 25--straight time.)

Change its name to "halloween." Problem solved.

What a bunch of F'n Scrooges!

Here we go again...

These anti-Christmas people are mentally ill.

They need professional help. As with all insane lunatics.

Arizona school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project.

Which Arizona school officials? What district?

Incorporate! Even the ACLU will jump to the defense of Christmas if it is a Corporation.

It is amazing how low some people will stoop to. Even Scrooge wouldn't go as far as some of these anti-Christmas people.

"No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities" (Everson v. The Board of Education - 330 US 1 1947)... Really? James 1:27 says the essence of true religion is taking care of widows and orphans. Religious organizations have been carrying out these activities for centuries. To say "no tax" can be levied to support widows makes the entire Social Security system unconstitutional? What say the liberal?

I'll still hapilly be celebrating Christmas on January 7th either way.

Just like my tagline says....
I celebrate Christmas in my house.
I don't care what everybody else celebrates in theirs.

The other side of Christmas?

O'Reilly is doing a piece tonight on Fox concerning the ACLU and Christmas.

Everyone can say they will do this and that about what they will do to retailers, but they will still buy from someone.

It was estimated that in 2004 there were 224,437,959 adult Christians in America.

Of this number how many will boycott the retailers?

If this Christmas every Christian decided not to buy 1 product from any company that doesn't support "Christmas" (not buy from the happy holiday stores), even if it means spending a little more at the other store, then you can bet next year they will change their tune or watch their competitor who does support Christmas have another wonderful year.

Problem being, most Christians won't. Just watch the sales of all the companies after Christmas is over and you will see no difference. Just the ignorance/indifference of most, not all, but most Christians.

Already? It's not even Halloween yet!

I promise I'll care about this on December 25.

Our "real" Christmases happened on Christmas Eve when we would gather around the fireplace as a family, read from the scriptures, and have the kids act out the Christmas story. I remember that above anything else.

But, but, but...........it's a federal holiday!

Moral Absolutes Ping.

The goal of professional atheists and secularists is to kill God. They can't, but they can kill their own spiritual progress and that of others who live in the godless world they want to create.

Freepmail me if you want on/off this pinglist.

bump

bttt

Sooner or later the Chandala types will touch a nerve. In our social structure the crazies-(Berserkers)-go first, after a little while the rest follow.

This is censorship!

Look what's going on in our school systems since they ban
the Ten Commandment's from being posted, compared to when the Ten Commandment's were posted. I thank god for the work place he has put me in. When we have a pot luck supper, pic nic or anything our boss will ask someone to pray to god giving our lord thank's and all the glory for our food. Not alot of companies do this but our's does.
Christmas is the day that god sent jesus unto us, so that we may be saved. The liberals are trying to take our beliefs away and will fail to us true believer's. The liberals need to read romans chapter 1 verse 22. I'm sure everyone will agree. God Bless You All and Merry Christmas
