		<description>No matter where you fall in the political or the religious spectrum, you are still responsible as a citizen and as a &lt;em&gt;person&lt;/em&gt; to think and judge for yourself. 

The other song, sung to the tune of &quot;Silent Night&quot; was for a play about a Little Christmas Tree. You should see what Barney does to traditional songs if you think that&#039;s bad. These right-wing bully dominionists ought to check their sources - but I know why they don&#039;t. They love to build up a hysteria to get people on board the program and get the money and votes pouring in. They are also attempting to bully the schools who try to be as fair as they can (although as a former JW, I seem to remember Christmas was the big thing and I would be out in the hall with the other non-celebrants - we tried to give one another comfort and joy).

Got to admire the strategy though - the &quot;War on Christmas&quot;! Bound to get a response. That&#039;s like saying the &quot;War on Your Mommy,&quot; the &quot;War on Baseball,&quot; the &quot;War on Hugs.&quot;

Everybody stand up and be counted! Defend Christmas!

If it were in a commercial, you&#039;d see the parody of reality here. You might even laugh. But these folks take themselves so seriously.

Well, they get people all riled up, but they should be ashamed of themselves. Their followers should also be ashamed - you are such patsies. In all the hullabaloo they&#039;ve forgotten what the celebration of Christmas means in their own tradition.

Forgiveness, joy, peace - all very foreign to these political manipulators. Again - Jesus would think you were jerks. </description>

		<description>I am SO glad this school is sueing the Liberty Council.  Someone has to hold these neo-cons responsible for their Machiavellian use of slander as a fund-raising technique.  Hopefully they&#039;ll go after O&#039;Reilly too!

David Letterman was wrong:  about 95% of what O&#039;Reilly says is crap.</description>
