It's their goal to first attack institutions of our culture, then start to take them over and use them to push their agenda, then they start cleansing all the good stuff from it and replacing it with the Commie/NWO stuff.
George Lucas had a Yoda. His name was Joseph Campbell. Do yourself a favor and read up on how he influenced Star Wars. The power of myth is strong in him.

This breaks down the college educated vote.

Clinton voters aren't the people spreading alarmist BS about a "war on Christmas".

How about addressing the actual topic?

I already did before I quoted you.


And the following is on topic? Of course it is just because you say so although it's par for the course. Gratuitous negative statement telling only half, if that, of the truth.

This is what happens when you feed yourself right wing media BS all day long and look for something to be angry about.

The holidays started around Thanksgiving. If hasn't started by then I don't see him doing it now.

I usually don't defend conservatives but Pat Buchanan is a well respected journalist and commentator. It's healthy to get the Roman Catholic side of an issue every so often. We are twenty five percent of the country.

Pat Buchanan was on the McLoughlin Group. John McLoughlin made an effort to hear well thought out issues on both sides of an issue. The bias of the group was to the right but they didn't pummel you with the propaganda nonsense that you see on FOX news.

It's a pity that people who fund PBS are so intolerant of right wing thought that they wouldn't salvage what was a very good show.

When exactly were the Obama Christmas messages released? At Thanksgiving or a bit closer to Christmas?

In case you missed it, here's the Thanksgiving one:

Trump in Thanksgiving message: 'The enthusiasm in this country has never been higher' | TheHill

You know, at least let him not release one in time before you ***** about him not doing it. That's like you guys demanding Articles of Impeachment last year before he was even sworn in.

You guys, such as yourself, who started beating the impeachment drum about two minutes after the election was decided. Who then used specious arguments and pleas to the Electors to please, please not vote for Trump and save the country. And on and on.

You guys, just like yourself, who complained about Trump not releasing a Christmas message and it's still a bit over a week until Christmas. A message that Presidents have not typically released until Christmas Day.

Trump was not my first choice, or even twelfth, but he did win. In retrospect, probably the only Republican who could have beaten Clinton.
