Bush sends out 'Holiday Season' card
Why is Bush out to destroy Christmas as a Christian holiday?



http://mypetjawa.mu.nu/archives/140132.php

Is President Bush Against Christmas, Too?

I got my official White House Christmas card yesterday. It seems that the Commander-in-Chief is not exactly leading by example in the Christmas vs 'holiday' debate.

Even though I'm not as emotionally invested in this debate as others, I do think it's nice to acknowledge a specific holiday, and would have liked to see a Christmas wish. I've never understood why people shy away from it. I've lived overseas and was always glad when someone wished me well on holidays-- even ones I didn't celebrate.

5. This from a White House over-decorated with about seventy
Christmas trees, like some sleazy department store.*


*As an historical footnote, the garish over-decoration of the White House dates back to Mamie Eisenhower's being so impressed by the decorated department stores in New York, she started aping them in the executive mansion.

13. I didn't think it would ever happen,
but I found something nice to say about one of the current occupants of the White House.

Laura has very nice penmanship, if it is indeed her hand writing.

Well I did add a qualifier!

16. It's not his fault
the activist judges who want to stamp out Christianity made him do it.

does this mean bush* will be hit with a frivolous lawsuit from falwell?

( http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/living/religion/13302696.htm
Religion news in brief
Miami Herald, FL - 16 hours ago
... "I asked about 100,000 pastors nationwide to join me in dealing with the grinches who are trying to steal Christmas," Falwell said in an Associated Press ... )

in the spirit of love and giving - this debate ruins it for everyone
