Now do you

really need anymore proof that Faux "News" is a part of the Republican party apparatus?

All these so called ministers

are doing is hastening their own ultimate visit with Satan. Their souls are forefeit because of their conservative, selfish and degrading politics.

This article makes Christmas

in Frisco sound souless as if there were no spiritual aspect to it. The description of the mega church hurts an ordinary Christian who believes but doesn't trust such pay for blessings type churches. It makes me want to stay away from such a place. I, myself spend an inordinate amount of time decorating for the Christmas Holidays. I do both outside and in. I have three Christmas trees, one of which I set up on the grand piano and which revolves while being played with colour wheels thus constantly changing hues. I also have the Christmas village that sits on top of the kitchen cupboards and that has an electric Christmas train that runs around the top of the whole kitchen. There is also the collection of 30 Nativity scenes that are displayed with the wreaths and lighted garlands etc. all over the house. Outside there are 12 tall cedar trees on one side of the curved driveway that are alternated in red and green and three separate cedars that have both red and green intermixed on each tree. I then make four cedar bough swags with Christmas ribbon and have them on the lamp posts at the two gated entrances to my property. The whole thing is a labour of love and is part of my Christmas ritual like going to the midnight carol service on Christmas Eve. It is important to me to keep the spirit of Christmas and this is the way I do it but in reading this article it seems these Texans are missing that important element.

These right wing fringe groups

collectively sound like some sort of underground subversive organization planning on destroying the union. The way they talk about the "movement" makes it sound very dangerous and secretive. The problem I have with the Republican ideology as it is today, is that it is selfish, venal, elitist and insensitive to the best interests of the whole country. Oh, they have their own narrow best interests at heart all right but their interests and the interests of the majority of people in the US are totally incompatible. In order to keep these Republicans in mansions and mercedes a whole lot of ordinary people have to suffer deprivation. The larger portion of the economy that goes to the top 10% in the country the less there is to share for everyone else.

Voters?

If getting people out to vote is stealing an election then my idea of how democracy is supposed to work needs serious revision.

If the US

uses that bomb, it might as well write itself off the list of civilized nations.

Deficit

Thank you for this article. you are one of the extreme few that has ever questioned the "defense" budget in any context whatsoever. I have often asked why the US has to spend almost as much as the rest of the world altogether on the military but no one wants to attempt to answer that question. I'm pleased to see someone do so.

Right wing Media

are all alike. They absolutely cannot be trusted and therefor as the president says about Faux, "stay away from them". How much clearer can the message be? Don't give them the time of day!

Without knowing

anything about it, I think these pageants must be taking place in the deep south. Everyone knows they are totally backward down there and such egregious activities would pass over their heads without notice. The faces of the chidren are very false much like everything else about the south. On the surface southerners are genteel and friendly but inside they are seething racists and right wing reprobates. That falsity is the first thing I noticed about these images.

All of this

bloody mess is a direct result of Israel acquiring nuclear weapons in the first place. Now everybody else wants to catch up. The blame as usual resides in Washington where whoever was in charge at the time either turned a blind eye to Israel's machinations or activiely participated in them.

When we

used to travel by air with out four year old and out two year old we experienced some of the problems that are related to the scenario mentioned in this article. I remembe rone occasion when my two year old kept kicking the back of the seat in front of us until the woman in it turned around and said "do you mind?" at which point my former oblivion to the problem was rudely excised and I took care of it. Another time the same two year old commenced throwing his food down the aisle. That stopped pretty quickly also. After that we decided to drive everywhere we went and since our trips were never more than 1200 miles it worked out fine.

I have never seen

anything as creepy as the 1922 Nosferatu. Being a silent picture and made so long ago, it is short on special effects but the portrayal of the vampire is nothing short of brilliant. Max Schreck is as close to the real thing as any human could be. I was so taken with the portrayal that I couldn't go to sleep until I had checked the internet to make sure he was a bona fide human and had actually passed away (1936). I just felt that I was watching the real thing.

When Lieberman

makes a promise he sticks to it. He obviously promised his insurance buddies that there would be no single payer health care in the US and he means to keep that promise and besides he's already been paid handsomely to make sure it doesn't happen.

If the job

of a prosecutor is to provide justice then they should be pleased that they have the assistance of the journalism school in helping them do just that. Why would any prosecutor want an innocent person to be executed? I find that position to be mind boggling.

Thank you

for stating the blatant truth.
