And furthermore you argue that Christmas is a 'religious holidy.' Isn't it a violation of separation then, for public schools to honor the holiday by closing on Christmas? By your own reasoning, shouldn't the public schools be open on Christmas day? To 'maintain that separation of church and state?'

Which only means that someone in Plano, Texas, also failed Civics 101.

Please don't make me teach you a lesson in the ceremonial deism exceptions to the Establishment clause.

You're asking for it.

Texas, just as I suspect. Sounds like he should take the issue up with the governor of Texas.

He isn't talking off the top of his head.

And I think his interview with Wolf Blitzer was very good.

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

I'm telling you guys, this is all collusion to get Romney the nomination. I mean you guys have to honestly think about it look at the candidates and their actions:

Perry: This video is damning enough that I don't need to mention the laundry list of everything else.

Cain: Here is a man that was running for the nomination that didn't expect that the allegations of sexual harassment weren't going to come out and the allegations of a 13 year affair weren't ever going to surface? Really?

Bachmann: Um, yeah.

Santorum: Sadly this guy (other than Paul) actually believes the stuff he spews out his mouth.

Newt: Is soaring in spite of Romney. He's saying more offensive stuff as the day goes on just like Cain. And yet he's currently soaring as a result. Well until "something" suddenly pops up. Stay tuned.

Huntsman: Nice Guy, but as the conservatives here have stated, he's a moderate and that's not allowed.

Ron Paul: Is the probably the only one not in collusion to help Romney get the nomination. But then again, as with most things with him, its a principal thing.
