Looks like a fairly balance lineup this morning.
But the media ghouls probably thing they can have a bunch of “Gotcha” moments. Let’s see if the guests can stay on topic and refuse to play thee lamestream’s game.
Kay Baily Hutchinson on the same show, second week in a row... Maybe Bob Schieffer has a crush on her.....
Some say Ben Afflack is going to run for Kerry seat in Mass. Lord help us!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!
Christ is the reason for the season
Wallace: Only nine days left to head off tax increases and spending cuts.
Hey Wallace! Why the hell would we want to head off spending cuts?
I’m a faithful reader of this column every Sunday morning. I don’t comment much as I have no TV but reading this gives me a general idea of the tone.
Alas, thanks for faithfully posting this every Sunday.
To all FReepers everywhere: Merry Christmas and let’s pray we have a Happy New Year.
Morning AB, All,
....Merry Christmas to all!
What a weekend! Daughter/granddaughter been here Friday night, Saturday night. Had our “Christmas” dinner Friday, opened gifts Saturday morning, went to church Saturday where I sang in choir.
After drove down to Ocean City Merryland where we went to the Festival of Lights. Met two nieces there, went out to dinner after.
Played games, sang songs, laughed and...
...folks I grabbed on to my precious granddaughter, just turned nine years old, and hugged her for a full ten minutes, both of us just hugging tight, silent, eyes clenched tight. If love could pour out of a body into another you can believe I pushed tons of love out of me into my beloved grandchild and I prayed the entire mass, thanking God for giving her to me and to please keep her safe.
I’m sure across the fruited plains grandparents are hugging their descendants with the same force of love.
We never mention Newtown, save in passing. Kaitlyn I must suppose knows all about it. In fact, her school had a lock down drill Tuesday after the shooting, so disconcerting with the timing that the school had to call all parents and swear the practice drill had nothing to do with Newtown. I’m not sure I believe it.
But Kaitlyn tells us in great detail how the classroom doors are now locked at all times, how she learned to dive beneath her desk and shrivel up as small as possible.
Sure, she knows about Newtown.
Neither daughter or I could talk about it with her without sobs so we just avoided the subject.
At a quiet moment daughter and I discuss these shootings. she is, as you might imagine, concerned.
“Melissa, Friday a week ago 20 kids got shot at an elementary school. It was horrible. We are all aggrieved. And this Christmas 20 parents will suffer unimaginable loss.”
I took a breath as we both tried to imagine Christmas morning for the parents of those precious children and we had to pause for our mental pain.
“But this Christmas some 90 million parents will wake up and have healthy, happy children running to their gifts under the tree. Because while these tragedies happen (I then recited stats about the 1929 school mass murder, the biggest ones being in China), America is still a great place to raise a child. Not to belittle the loss of those children, but we need to keep our perspective. Most of all , we need TO NOT LET THE POLITICIANS PASS A BUNCH OF STUPID LAWS THAT WILL ONLY HURT US AND NOT SAVE A SINGLE CHILD.”
Daughter agreed and she was shocked to learn about that 1929 school massacre involving bombs or firecrackers. This country’s media wants us to believe this sort of thing only happens in America.
I got a picture to share with you guys, best picture I’ve ever managed to get in my life.
Will put it up second or third page in thread so keep commenting so I can post it.
I will also tell story behind it and....
....you will thank me very much.
FNS
Kirstin P: Republicans are being irresponsible by not approving Boehner’s or Obama’s proposals.
Laura I: Republicans lost this election. They lost House seats. They lost Senate seats. They lost the White House.
Juan W: I think the Boehner plan would have passed, if Boehner had brought it up for a vote. ... Boehner looks weaker than ever now.
Bill K: Let the House vote. [Thinks Boehner will retain speakership, no matter what happens.]
I watched 5 minutes of MTP with Gregory trying to hassle Wayne Lapiere(sp) of NRA, Gregory was pretty pathetic, Wayne did well under circumstances
Then I switched to FNS for about 5 minutes probably less, just caught the last portion of the Rick Warren Show.
I am a Christian, I LOVE Jesus, but am afraid I do NOT have very warm feelings towards Rick Warren, I really do not, I do not see him as even being on my side.. I really have no respect for him. Sorry
Franklin Graham is a Christian leader that I have tons of respect for, not sure why they bother with warren, I take that back, for sure I know why they have him.
Rick Warren was instrumental in getting Obama elected the first time, that values charade he held with Obama and McCain, what a joke!
Warren is teamed up with that liberal Jim Wallace guy, really have no use for any of those liberal folks.
Warren says he is “pro life but” should have that on his tomb stone I have no use for the guy, not even sure he is a Christian.
Cant even see a difference between the Presidency of GW Bush and Obama...Warren is a loser
60 million + trumps everything fellow. Really the NEW AGE guy Joel Osteen is much like Rick Warren, wont take a stand on anything, wont say that homosexuality is a sin, when pressed he finally says well it`s not God`s best
And Finally Chris Wallace asks Warren about Christmas, says Newton (where the 26 were killed) colors it for us?
Yes it was a terrible heartbreaking senseless tragedy, but life goes on. Chris thinks every single person watched sickening wall to wall media coverage of it all, I for one watch less than 5 minutes in total!
To put into perspective, far more that 26 children are aborted every morning in almost every stated, Same will happen tomorrow morning.
More than 26 Children die in Childrens hospitals every morning, probably in every state, there was something really deplorable about the media coverage.
No Chris,life goes on
I’m off to church, and with a busy day of family commitments don’t know if I’ll be able to check back in.
Just wanted to wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and pass along my prayers for God’s Blessings upon each and every one!
The only way I see to change the course of this now socialist govt is to shut it down in any way available. Congress should go home, having done their job of submitting pertinent bills, and leave the senate to their predictable cowardly approach to governing by inaction.
There is no point in worrying over what the socialist democrat media will say about anything. They will pitch the Republicans as villains and the socialist democrats as either saviors or victims, and/or both, as the situation calls for. Principle is all that the Republicans have left to guide them. Black and white might be harsh, and gray is useful for moderation, but a stark line in the sand is upon us and no time for dithering. This socialist administration is in full destruction mode of this Republic's very existence. When all is said and done, only our congress has the power and means to do anything permanent about it. In short, cut off the money. Maybe submit a bill of impeachment for Obama which will accent the seriousness of congressional resolve to take back control of this country for themselves and the US citizens who elected them.
