    FilmLadd,

    Amen to that!

    I would laugh about these reported incidents if they weren’t collectively leading to our nation’s demise.

    Wonder if I could play the “I am offended by what offends you” card…

    Let’s see…
    1. I am disabled…check
    2. I am a minority…check
    3. I am male, fiscal conservative, veteran, and voted republican…oops, my opinion doesn’t count.

    And from the Courier Mail Australia

    SCIENTISTS have warned that Christmas lights are bad for the planet due to huge electricity waste and urged people to get energy efficient festive bulbs.
    CSIRO researchers said householders should know that each bulb turned on in the name of Christmas will increase emissions of greenhouse gases.

    Interesting that two of the top ten abuses occurred in my lovely state of Minnesota. Yuck! It is still hard to imagine this absolute trashing of the constitution happening in the USA. This must be fought vigorously whenever it happens! Bringing these abuses to the attention of the public is essential. I will be sending this article to everyone in my address book.

    Oops, hit Submit too soon-anyway that Grinch fellow is certainly busy. We are having Christmas dinner this year-lights, tree, decoration and way too much food and gifts for the grand kids.
    And to the White Liberal Kawanzaites, Whiners of every stripe and Christmas Grinches everywhere:

    Merry Christmas to you too–I really hope you get over you unhappiness some day. You really do not know what you are missing. Jesus came for you too.

    And MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL and to All a Good Nite; After getting ready today I am sure we’ll need it.

    Even more interesting that they occurred in ‘Catholic’ universities. More proof that Catholic higher learning has lost its way. So sad.

    Not unlike mailing rocks back inside postage-paid envelopes, liberals have been trying to defraud our Military Academies for years now.

    I knew a liberal kid who applied for and got a full ride to Notre Dame through the Naval ROTC program back in 1986. Like clockwork, he developed an aversion to the concept of “nuclear warfare” four years later and asked for an exemption from Gulf War I. When the Navy reassigned him to peeling potatoes on a supply ship somewhere in the Pacific, he ran away and joined some anti-war commune in SanFrancisco.

    That was one of my very first introductions to just what kind of crap weasels American liberals can really be.

    There are organizations of liberals in SanFrancisco who actively seek to convince Military Academy students and active duty personnel to abandon their duties and defraud the US Government. Big surprise, huh?

    I remember my alma mater, Oklahoma State University, some people would freak if the campus newspaper published a Christian article. One year the campus homosexual organization had their “first anual denim day”, on which one showed ones “support” for gay rights by wearing denim. It was never held again. They received too much negative publicity for it. After all, in Oklahoma we eat beef, drive pickups, and WEAR DENIM!

    It is not just the Catholic universities that are guilty of this.
    There are millions of CINO’s out there (Catholic in Name Only). If you are a practicing Catholic, you would be pro-life. I have a neighbor who swears she is a practicing Catholic, goes to mass every week, etc. Yet, she is the most left-wing flaming liberal I have ever met. You can’t carry on a civil conversation with her because she shouts you down with her unbelievable drivel. She once talked about abortion as such a common, every day thing, no big deal. She said if she ever was pregnant with a down syndrom baby she would have an abortion. I said, “Oh, yeah…they did that back in Nazi Germany. It was called “selective breeding”. For once, she had no reply. I am not Catholic, but I know many Catholics who abhor abortion and other liberal stances. Yet, too many who call themselves Catholic should just be ex-communicated, or at least quit the church and find one more in tune with their beliefs.

    This is precisely why I have vowed not to go back to another university. I have an undergrad and two graduate degrees as well as extra graduate studies and National Board Certification. I’ve had enough of being taught propaganda and leftest theory which doesn’t work outside of a classroom.

    In a straight English class, you study literature. In a Gay English class you study Elton John songs.

    To set this in perspective, let me re-cap the issues that, according to our liberal arts institutions, are destroying America;

    Practicing religious concepts on campus…without a permit.

    Freedom of Speech…without control or restraints.

    Restriction of Gay Civil Rights.

    Restricted abortions.

    Religious celebrations.

    Lack of unrestricted Environmentalism.

    Restricted Political Correctness.

    Liberal political causes all. Thank you Democrats for trying to undermine our quality of life, destroy liberty, and eliminate our pursuit of happiness.

    There was a time, and I remember it well, when one would only occasionally run into an “educated idiot.” Sadly, today that’s not the case…I seem to run into them daily while trying to live a simple, happy life.

    Isn’t it ironic, that liberals say they want to protect our quality of life, but the only way they can do that, is by limiting freedoms?

    I predict, that in the coming year, liberals will try and make it illegal, immoral, or politically incorrect to display an American flag in public schools, and courthouses.

    Soon to follow, will be the elimination of the oath to tell the truth in a court of law, “so help me God!”

    Happy Scrapper, all I have to say about that is:

    Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

    Right on-
    It will only become illegal to fly an American flag right side up in its respective place of honor.

    However, it will be perfectly acceptable to fly it upside down or stomping on it as a piece of “creative art” (e.g. p155 Christ)
