Bush AWOL on war on X-mas
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ent/holidays/3508042.html

WASHINGTON - What's missing from the White House Christmas card? Christmas.

This month, as in every December since he took office, President Bush sent out cards with a generic end-of-the-year message, wishing 1.4 million of his close friends and supporters a happy "holiday season."

Many are thrilled to get a White House Christmas card, no matter the greeting inside. But some conservative Christians are reacting as if Bush stuck coal in their stockings.

"This clearly demonstrates that the Bush administration has suffered a loss of will and that they have capitulated to the worst elements in our culture," said William A. Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights.

Bush "claims to be a born-again, evangelical Christian. But he sure doesn't act like one," said Joseph Farah, editor of the conservative Web site WorldNetDaily.com. "I threw out my White House card as soon as I got it."

you have got to be kidding me, Bush doesn't act like a born-again?
i thought militarism and jingoistic nationalism combined with sprinkles of "Praise Jeebus" WAS a born-again Evangelical.

just how much mental contortions will the religious right put themselves through for this half-wit?

just amazing

He IS the "Anti-Christ". "Pro-Life" IS dead. War is Social Abortion.

2. They forgot to coordinate their attack on that one.
So did FOX (that O'Lielly holiday ornament."

The story has gained steam because the Freeps are so consumed by their hate that they feed on this stuff, they are alomst bloodthirsty for crap like this.

Certainly there isn't a lot of success by * to bandstand about, there's nothing but a legacy of corruption and costly errors.

3. Religious Right to US: "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!"
Disregard the sky-high oil prices, the dead soldiers, the erosion of civil rights, and the rampant corruption in the Republican leadership...

CHRISTMAS IS UNDER ASSAULT! THE LIBERALS ARE COMING TO TAKE AWAY JESUS! ALL HANDS ON DECK! RED ALERT!

:eyes:
