The "self defense" argument is a Red Herring. We have the right to keep and bear arms to protect us from corrupt government. I am NOT saying we cannot also use them for self defense. I am saying that...

Second Amendment Stupidity
It is NOT about self defense. It is NOT about the need for a militia. The need for a militia is a GIVEN. The SECOND AMENDMENT prevents legislative bodies from...
Please note that Cheney and Pelosi were both framed by a round "border". Note that Cheney's seat was situated so that he was sitting in the exact center of the frame, and Pelosi's seat was situated...
This speech was amazing for about 30 seconds.
"LOL. The best way to achieve that goal is by more consumer choice, not government control. (D side is zombified, R side Standing O)"
Yes, more choices that you couldn't possibly even imagine...
Damocles, I'll gladly show you that you are wrong at a later date:P
Well, it is bedtime. Later, folks.
We shouldn't be free from religion. We should be free from religion impacting government.
Regardless of how many people buy into the "attack on Christmas" lie, it is still a lie.
Fundamentalists are taught that they are persecuted. Most Christians aren't fundamentalists. Only the LOUD ones are :P
You can't have one Holiday being exclusively recognized, while others are as well. Exclusive means ONLY IT.
Damocles, do you know what the word EXCLUSIVE means?
Well, I could talk about the 2004 Presidential election being stolen. :P
...and therefore, they are "under attack"
Because you don't exclusively cater to me, I am under attack.

Actually, they likely WON'T change their policies, as most Christians aren't fucking idiots.
I am under attack, because WalMart greeters say "good afternoon sir", rather than calling me by my name.
The solution, obviously, is to tell the greeter my name so s/he can call me by said...
Irrelevant. the topic is about LIARS claiming that Christmas is "under attack".
Only sheep, imbeciles, and liars would make such a claim.
That's not the point. The change was due to wanting to make more money.
Right wing partisans are LYING, and saying that Christianity is under attack. Period.
The overwhelming majority of people couldn't care less about "Happy Holidays". It's a matter of Christian Cultural hegemony, which most people don't care about.
It's a FUNDAMENTALIST issue, which...
private enterprise switched to "Happy Holidays" because it is good for the bottom line. When so-called "Christians" complain because they are not being EXCLUSIVELY catered to, they deserve nothing...
Look:
People will, generally, claim something they know is dishonest, if they:
a) want it to be "true"
b) feel that enough people will regurgitate the same falsehood so as they can be in a...
I have a solution. Education.
