: : Did you all get to see the news?
: : The hypocritical poster child of the Moral Majority, the cowboy called Dubbya, sent out his Christmas cards last week. Do you want to guess what they said? Psssst...I will give you a hint...no mention of the word Christmas was on the cards. He wishes everybody a Happy Holiday Season.
: : Oh boy, now the moral majority is turning on their leader. Rumors haveit that they even heard the word "evil-doer" when Dubbya's name was mentioned in their circles as they protested.
: : Now, we got disarray among the ranks. After criticizing everything from Wal-Mart to tree farms, now they have to look at the White House. I bet ya this really hurts some people.
: : The sky is falling!!!!!
: This is the same greeting he's put out since he was first elected. He should have changed it back then.
: I suspect that this year, he figured no matter what he did somebody would complain, so why not just send out the same old same old.
: Had he changed it to Merry Christmas, the Lib left would have surely chastized him for alienating those of other faiths. He probably just figured he'd get less flack from his own people for keeping things the way they were than he would from his foes by stirring things up. Like he really needs to give the libs another angle to shoot at him from.
: Yes, he should have changed it. He should have changed it long ago, but I can see why he didn't right now. I don't think it's an acceptable reason, but I can understand it.
: Right is right, no matter what else is going on.
The one article showed that the "seasonal" greetings have been used by other Presidents since JFK. Kennedy had the words "blessed Christmas" in his last cards that were sent out.
I do not have a problem with Bush sending these out, because it has been the pattern, but when others come out and just paint everybody in this conspiracy, then they better be painting the White House in this, also.
