The economy was not as bad a year ago.

But that aside, I do not mind if the O' family celebrates Christmas at all. At least they are having a Christmas. We all know that the political elite do not give a poo about the poor. They only care about the poor when it is an election year. Useful fools I think Stalin called them.

I happen to believe there is a concerted effort under way to diminish and discredit Christianity; there is, as has been said, a war being waged on Christianity. I don't see that bashing directed at any other religion.

So, like I said, whether you believe it, doesn't matter to me one bit.

Carry on.

In the 20s and 30s American college student fellow travelers were called useful idiots by the organizers.

I couldn't say this on a rep so I will do so here.

That's the best answer I have seen to their crap. The movement is coming along with progressivism and hasn't lessened lately. Now progs don't like that kind of talk, but who cares?

Go Obama. Do what you need to do. You just cannot please some people no matter what you do or say.

This is true. It's a damned if you do and damned if you don't kind of thing. As a conservative that didn't vote for President Obama, I wish others would choose their fights a little better.

Great post Laura. The true spirit of Christmas.
