And, generally, that was the opinion of the liberal media: There was no Christmas controversy -- the whole thing was fabricated by religious zealots bent on establishing a theocracy.

It was a non-story in a decade of time-wasting, energy-wasting, non-stories. A majority since 1994, the presidency since 2000, and all we've managed to do is pass a tax cut and play paddy-cake over social non-issues. Meanwhile the Beast gets bigger and bigger.

Never mind me, I'm in a foul mood.

Well, there's a lot I'm unhappy about with President Bush and the Republican Congress, but we've accomplished much more than you say. (Taliban out of power; Saddam out of power; military reorganized and built up; Roberts and Alito on the Supreme Court; other conservative judicial appointments; some slight progress on education, social security, and immigration; etc.) It is important to keep pushing for more, and to push back hard when mistakes are made (e.g. Harriet Miers), but we conservatives are supposed to be optimistic and believe in the people and the power of the truth. Our best days are still ahead. Ronaldus Magnus said it. I believe it. Etc.
