I didn't want to upset our vets ...

They thought it was a kind holiday gesture, but dozens of Prosper students didn't get to deliver the Christmas cards they made for local veterans because of a VA policy against specific religious cards and phrasing.
The cards are still in North Texas, and the writers are disappointed their thank you's won't be seen by the people they were intended for.
"I'm hoping that it might make their day because their family might live far away, and they might not have somebody to celebrate Christmas with and I'd like them to know they've not been forgotten and somebody wanted to say thank you," said fourth grader Gracie Brown.
Gracie and her brother, Luke, put a lot of thought and effort into their Christmas cards.
"It includes ‘Merry Christmas,' and when you open it up, it says 'Thank you for your service' and the American flag," said Luke.

I didn't want to upset our vets ...
And exactly how long are we going to take this?
Sooner or later we will have to gather up the cojones to tell our gubmit to shove their little ideas up their collective smelly Obamaholes.
I apologize for the constantly crude replies, but this is really really becoming serious.
We either fight or die. And I’d really love to run that guillotine following CW-II.
This s**t is starting to make me tear my hair out. It might have upset Mikey Weinstein, though. So maybe they did the right thing. He claims to have gotten a lot if complaints about stuff like this.
Yes....Americans....you can thank POTUS Obama for his anti-Christian policy which puts forth his hatred for anything Christian!!! And.....no mention of either Jesus Christ or Christmas in the Obama/Michelle “Holiday” card....which, IMHO is to be listed as an “Obama Family Cold Fish” holiday effort (the Obama Family could care less, unless you are a Muslim or from GLAAD!!! Black folks don’t rate either, fools that they are!!! LOL!!!
Why is the VA able to tell people (veterans) what kind of cards they are allowed to get? What business is it of theirs and where does the government get the belief that they can do this?
One can readily understand why the Obama-athiest lead military "leaders" find such utterances, anti-Christian, anti-moral and anti-American and as such not worthy of those who have taken an oath to preserve, protect and defend our Constitution based upon godly principles.
I hear you. No need to apologize when speaking of garbage, government that is. It’s way past time for We The People to tell the f**king government just who it is that’s paying the f**king bills here! And what we say and want is how it’s going to be! Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Only with this regime is it acceptable to suppress Christianity in the name of impartiality.
This sounds like one of the world’s easiest problems to solve.
Accept the cards and ask the vets if they would like to receive Christmas (Holiday) cards prepared by schoolchildren.
If they say yes, give them one or more cards.
If they say no, don’t give them any cards.
But, of course, leftist government bureaucrats are involved.
I pray that our Heavenly Father has something especially appropriate in the works for this nasty rotten bunch.
Lets see, under El-Presidente same sex troops can marry with full military honors but religion is banned.
Hope and change.
Speaking for all of us during a 2009 speech in Turkey, he unilaterally discarded the time-honored belief that the U.S. is a nation of Judeo-Christian values.
I can't decide which of those features has Obastard's panties in a bunch.

I’m with you!
Its clear the anti Christian policies of the Obama administration have taken hold and are deeply rooted now.
Obama is consistently against anything and anyone biblical. Catholic, Protestant , Jewish you name it. He is always for Islam and its terrorists, homosexuals, atheists, communists, rebels, revolutionaries as long as they are attacking Chrjstians Jews or perhaps regimes that at least live peacefully with Christians. A lot of people have tried to argue that he’s more commie than islamoNazi Or more islamoNazi than commie. The key thing is that he’s both or at least he strongly. supports both This is not a contradiction because they both want to weaken and destroy or take over USA and they both subjugate or murder Christians and Jews at every opportunity they get.
Dear Faith,
Your post is the exact definition of what bh0 meant by ‘wanting to fundamentally transform America.’
and the amazing (and depressing) thing is that Americans voted (twice) for this self-destructive krap!
And will vote for more of it. Because faith and common decency are now officially “mean.”
