I have a world view now, very  interesting.

You may be right. Are you suggesting that I give you too much credit?

 

I have to bow out of this delightful conversation for the night however. So if it helps feel free to posture in the "middle" more here.

I will help you write some original material.  How about the Doctor of common sense, or something along those lines.

Loosen up your collar a bit, watch a little caddy shack. Break wind in public,  have some fun dude.

You are probably right...that may be giving you too much credit perhaps. Feel free to correct me on that.

Don't worry. It's easy to be loose and relaxed while I cruise in the middle lane.

What about Thanksgiving? Is it tacky to say Happy Thanksgiving?

People are freaked out over nothing. If I  got a happy Ramadan card from somebody, I would think, that was thoughtful of them to remember me. 

This is the heart of the matter.

 

1.  It's the thought that counts -- you think enough of someone to reach out to them, in ANY well-meaning way.

2.  For all that any of us know, Pres. Trump has sent out a passel of Chanukah cards, too.

 

I once overheard an Orthodox Rabbi chatting with (I presume) a congregant or coreligionist.  The congregant had some objection to the national Christmas tree.  The rabbi said, "Let people enjoy their holiday!  It takes nothing from us."  I've always remembered this.  And how much nicer to feel joy for others rather than walking around uptight and ready-to-be-offended all the time.  Life is too SHORT.  Good for the President (or ANY of us) for sending out any type of card at ALL.

Hate to break the news, but the Bible was written by humans as a way to scare people into “behaving” in a particular fashion.  The same as the Koran.  The same, actually, as most religions teach.  It’s all about controlling people, making them behave a certain way that people at the time believed were good ways.  There is no jesus, jehovah, nor allah... it’s all just a ploy to control the masses.  “Born into judaism... gimme a break!

Sorry, I know it is off topic, but I couldn't resist the Caddyshack reference.  I loved Ted Knight in that film!

Political operatives pretending to be journalists can't objectively debunk something.  Pictures below for the reading comprehension impaired.  This is like the game, where you have to find the differences between the pictures.  It is really popular in grade school.

Yes, because everyone in America only celebrates Christmas.

What does that have anything to do with my post about him keeping his campaign promise?

[jayjayj 571]

Just read through some more of the posts on this thread.  I agree NBR, nothing riles up those lefties like the word Christmas.  This is hilarious.
