Re: Conservative Mottos
LP I think Billy had LESS than 50% both times. But that doesn't matter to leftists like FF who have such a narrow view on things and when he doesn't have an explanation he just says BUSH LIED!
JFK won by a slim margin over Nixon in 1960 in a very controversial election. I guess he didn't expect to have much a mandate either?
Hypocrit!

Re: Conservative Mottos
"And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night. An ANGEL of THE LORD appeared to them, and the glory of the LORD shone around them, and they were terrified. But the ANGEL said to them: "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for ALL people. Today in the town of David a SAVIOR has been born to you; he is CHRIST the LORD. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the ANGEL, praising GOD and saying,
"Glory to GOD in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." LUKE 2:8-14
In the beginning was the WORD(Christ), and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD. He was with GOD in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. John 1:1-5
The WORD became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the ONE and ONLY, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
An ANGEL of the LORD appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the HOLY SPIRIT. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name JESUS, because he will save his people from their sins." Matthew 1:20-21
I choose to believe this, for the alternative is damnation.

Maybe Bill Clinton had less than 50% of the votes both times, but it was enough to beat Bob Dole, and he didn't go out and try to call it a mandate. George Bush won by very little, and because he managed to get a majority of the vote, he calls it a mandate, though he won by very narrow margins both times. If he got 60% of the vote, then he might be right to call it that, but not with a very narrow simple majority.

And the whole religious thing, I believe there is nothing wrong with calling Christmas Christmas, and acknowledging that it is a religious holiday. I don't know why all these people aren't willing to acknowledge that it comes from Christianity. That is where it comes from.
Now here's something that you might not like: Christmas originally was celebrated when it was because there was a pagan holiday that celebrated the winter solstice. The Christians decided to hold a religious celebration then to try and (I guess) convert pagans. Of course, some churches deemed it totally unacceptable that we should celebrate our holidays at the same time as the pagans, and banned Christmas altogether! How's that for a war on Christmas?

Nearly 2000 years ago, Jesus of Nazareth stated, “Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven. Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.”
As I was re-reading those three verses yesterday, I was reminded of a speech broadcast live (and rebroadcast several times) on television from my school, the University of North Carolina – Wilmington. In the speech, the self-proclaimed religious expert strongly urged the audience to abandon the notion of the deity of Christ. To do so, he claimed, would be to fully appreciate what a great man Jesus really was.
Such an assertion raises a number of issues. One issue is the weight of the ego of the speaker who urges us to believe that he is telling the truth about the deity of Christ – while suggesting that Jesus was simply lying. In the conflict between the religious speaker and Jesus Christ there is, of course, a gap in credibility. One has been the subject of more books than any other who has ever walked upon the planet and also has the distinction of having time based upon His birth. On the other hand, I cannot even recall the speaker’s name.
Of course, another issue is the mental dexterity of a speaker who claims that Jesus is only a great man if He (or he) is also a liar. Such assertions were once confined to those with IQs below room temperature – long before our universities declared war upon the notion of truth (or Truth) in the postmodern era of education. Now that we scoff at the notion of truth, the epithet “liar” has lost some of its punch.
Those who often read my columns are probably predicting that I will also raise an issue relating to freedom of speech. Those prophecies are just as correct – although not as impressive or complex - as the ones found in Chapter 53 of Isaiah.
Indeed, the speaker who urged the audience to reject Christ’s claim that He is God did so under the full protection of the First Amendment. And I am glad that he was able to do so. There is no better appreciation of the Truth than that which is gained from its juxtaposition with falsity.
But the problem at my university (and many others) is that the First Amendment is not deemed applicable to those who make the contrary assertion that Christ was, and is, our Lord and Savior precisely because He is the Almighty God. A conversation I had with a student just last week is illustrative.
The student was fired from his job at UNCW for being too “open” about his faith in Jesus Christ. Fortunately, he got another job on campus shortly after he lost one for disagreeing with the Gospel according to the Office of Campus Diversity and, instead, following the Gospel according to Matthew. (See paragraph one of this editorial for details).
I do not know whether the student was asking me for advice but here it is anyway:
Your goal in your new job at UNCW is to get fired again. The reward for doing so will be much greater than the minimum wage. (See paragraph one of this editorial for details).
If this one example does not suffice to demonstrate that UNCW (The University of No Christian Witnesses) is intolerant towards Christian speech, consider another. Last month, a new Christian student organization was told to be cautious in its efforts to spread the Word of God because of the university’s harassment policy, which, of course, limits “offensive” speech.
And you know the type of speech they are talking about. It’s the kind that creates a “hostile environment.” (See paragraph one of this editorial for details).
When I received an email from one of the Christians in the organization – an email that included the text of the administrator’s preposterous warning – he was looking for advice on how to deal with the situation. I offer it gladly in these following sentences:
Your goal in your new Christian organization is to spread the Word of God with such zeal that you will be thrown off campus for violating the harassment policy – the one that ignorant administrators think trumps the First Amendment right to religious expression. (This is also the policy that malicious administrators pretend to think trumps the First Amendment right to religious expression).
Of course, getting booted off campus will not be a big deal. But the reward will be very great. (See paragraph one of this editorial for details).
As I think about my advice to these students, I am reminded of the “Holiday Greeting” ( http://www.uncw.edu/chancellor/greetings/ ) sent out earlier this week by UNCW Chancellor Rosemary DePaolo. The greeting mentions the word “diversity” but not the words “Christ” or “Christmas.”
There is something very wrong with the idea that the word “Christ” is offensive by itself but protected free speech if followed by the words “was not the Son of God.” I believe that this idea has consequences. See paragraph one of this editorial for details.

Re: Conservative Mottos
Rep. John Dingell (D-MI):
"Madam Speaker, I have a little poem.
'Twas the week before Christmas and all through the House,
no bills were passed `bout which Fox News could grouse.
Tax cuts for the wealthy were passed with great cheer,
so vacations in St. Barts soon should be near.
Katrina kids were all nestled snug in motel beds,
while visions of school and home danced in their heads.
In Iraq, our soldiers need supplies and a plan,
and nuclear weapons are being built in Iran.
Gas prices shot up, consumer confidence fell.
Americans feared we were in a fast track to ..... well.
Wait, we need a distraction, something divisive and wily,
a fabrication straight from the mouth of O'Reilly.
We will pretend Christmas is under attack,
hold a vote to save it, then pat ourselves on the back.
Silent Night, First Noel, Away in the Manger,
Wake up Congress, they're in no danger.
This time of year, we see Christmas everywhere we go,
From churches to homes to schools and, yes, even Costco.
What we have is an attempt to divide and destroy
when this is the season to unite us with joy.
At Christmastime, we're taught to unite.
We don't need a made-up reason to fight.
So on O'Reilly, on Hannity, on Coulter and those right-wing blogs.
You should sit back and relax, have a few egg nogs.
'Tis the holiday season; enjoy it a pinch.
With all our real problems, do we really need another Grinch?
So to my friends and my colleagues, I say with delight,
a Merry Christmas to all, and to Bill O'Reilly, happy holidays.
Ho, ho, ho. Merry Christmas."

Every president, regardless of party, claims a mandate. W did, and Clinton sure as heck did, even though there are no such things as mandates. A victory does not = mandate.
Oh, and Tookie did deserve it. What I found most obnoxious was how the liberal press made a big deal about the amount of time it took the nurse to find a vein in his arm! SO WHAT. If you have ever been given an IV you know full well that they do not always just pop the stupid thing in on the first, or fifth, try.
