<p>And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. </p>

<p>And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall&nbsp; be to all people.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A delightful letter from a little girl and a wonderful answer from the reporter. And it still holds true today. I still believe, do you?</p>
<p>Pubulis</p>
<p><a href="http://beebo.org/smackerels/yes-virginia.html">Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus – Beebo</a><br />
<blockquote>Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus</p>
<p>By Francis P. Church, first published in The New York Sun in 1897. [See The People’s Almanac, pp. 1358–9.]</p>
<p>We take pleasure in answering thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun:</p>
<p>    Dear Editor—</p>
<p>    I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in The Sun, it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?</p>
<p>    Virginia O’Hanlon</p>
<p>Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.</p>
<p>Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.</p>
<p>Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.</p>
<p>You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.</p>
<p>No Santa Claus! Thank God! he lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.</p></blockquote>

I feel it is my duty to expose the radical push towards <img style="display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px" src="http://danspenguin.sytes.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/75px-DSC04509.JPG" align="right" />socialism, stateism and every other ‘ism’ detrimental to the Constitution of the <a class="zem_slink" title="United States" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667&amp;spn=10.0,10.0&amp;q=38.8833333333,-77.0166666667 (United%20States)&amp;t=h" rel="geolocation">United States</a> and her freedom loving people pushed upon us by the power hungry idiots that call themselves Representatives, Senators and even President. We have a government out of control and we will be <a class="zem_slink" title="Lost (TV series)" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411008/" rel="imdb">lost</a> if we don’t do something about it in the near future. These people refuse to listen to the people and will ram their radical agenda down our throats whether we want it or not. Every one of them should be hunted down and lined up against the wall for the atrocities that they are forcing upon us.</p>
<p>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; But, it is that time of year where I take a break ( For sanity’s sake ) from the lunacy in the Half White <a class="zem_slink" title="House (TV series)" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412142/" rel="imdb">House</a> and Congress and let the other ( and I’ll admit, better ) bloggers and writers continue in their pursuit of the truth and just enjoy what for me is the best time of year. You see, from <a class="zem_slink" title="Labor Day" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labor_Day" rel="wikipedia">Labor Day</a> weekend until the first of the year I and my family take the season for what it is. This is the time of year for reflection, peace and goodwill. </p>
<p>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; On Labor Day weekend, we celebrate the workers (and yes damn it even the unions) that made this country great. We see the plight of millions of children with some form of muscular disease on the <a class="zem_slink" title="Jerry Lewis" href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001471/" rel="imdb">Jerry Lewis</a> telethon and we open our hearts and give millions for research. On Halloween we turn the kids loose and for a night they get candy and other treats from neighbors, just for looking like a monster or cartoon character. And we do all this willingly! ( Nothing mandated by the government! ) In November, we remember the men and women who fought and even died for this country. For our freedoms and the right to worship as we please and live free. Without these brave souls we would still be living in tyranny. Thanksgiving comes next. This is where we reflect on our founding. When we put race and <a class="zem_slink" title="Television" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television" rel="wikipedia">color</a> aside and live together in peace like the pilgrims did even if just for one day.&#160; And of course eat our selves sick. ( I do anyway )</p>
<p>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Now comes Christmas. For me this is the best time of year. Yes I love the lights, the Christmas trees, the <a class="zem_slink" title="Television special" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_special" rel="wikipedia">TV specials</a> and music. But for me and my family it is much more than&#160; that. This is the time of year that we <img style="display: inline; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px" src="http://danspenguin.sytes.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/300px-Christus_Ravenna_Mosaic.jpg" width="135" align="left" />remember a manger in a far away land and the baby boy that was born there. Born in this manger 2000 years ago, with no pomp, no grand entrance, no Communist News Network (<a class="zem_slink" title="CNN" href="http://www.cnn.com/" rel="homepage">CNN</a>) was <a class="zem_slink" title="Jesus" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus" rel="wikipedia">Jesus</a>, the Son of God. Our savior! He came to this <a class="zem_slink" title="Earth" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth" rel="wikipedia">Earth</a> to preach the Good News and to eventually be put to death by zealots for spreading the word of God. He died for our sins and gave each and everyone of us a fresh start. Wouldn’t it be a shame if the zealots in Congress took away Christmas? Or our right to worship? But for this one time of year, where peace and goodwill abounds, let us all forget the petty bickerings and politics and remember the message Jesus brought us. </p>
<p>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; So for now on this Veterans Day until January 2nd 2010, except for the occasional Cartoon of the week or some MAJOR event, I will suspend these vitriolic writings and do my part to promote the spirit of goodwill. There will be music and articles and pictures relating to the season. So enjoy! Remember it’s MERRY CHRISTMAS! Now go out and spread some cheer! Peace on Earth. Goodwill towards men ( and Liberals ) And remember to thank a Vet, and the God of your understanding.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=168828228434&amp;ref=nf">Sarah Palin: Speaker Pelosi: Your Blue Dogs are Howling | Facebook</a><br />
<blockquote>Speaker Pelosi: Your Blue Dogs are Howling<br /> Sat at 4:47am<br />Like many Americans, I’m very concerned about the efforts underway to rush through the 2,000 page Pelosi health care bill this weekend. Why the rush? That’s a lot of pages to read. Why not give everyone the chance to read it and debate it?</p>
<p>How much will this bill cost us? It’s unclear because the figures coming out of Washington keep changing – and always in the direction of costing more, not less. The latest numbers show it will cost more than a trillion dollars over the decade, but when has a government program ever come in on or under budget?</p>
<p>How will we pay for it? Taxes, of course – and not just on the “rich” (you know, the people who spur the economy by buying goods and running companies that employ people), but also on just about everyone, especially small businesses – the job-creating engine of our economy. One of the points of health care reform was to help small businesses with the cost, but this bill hurts them – and right at a time when so many Americans are out of work and need the jobs that small businesses produce.</p>
<p>What’s in this bill? The “death panel” provision is in it. Medicare cuts are in it. Coverage of illegal immigrants is in it. And federal funding for abortion is in it. I commend the many Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats who are taking a principled stance to fight this.</p>
<p>I had a message for Speaker Pelosi in a speech I gave last night for the Wisconsin Right to Life – “please, please don’t break the ‘transparency promise’ by prohibiting at least a vote of your colleagues on funding abortion-on-demand.”</p>
<p>Speaker Pelosi has already broken many promises thus far in this “reform” exercise. She promised that this would be a bi-partisan effort, but the bill she’s pushing isn’t bi-partisan. She promised that the final version of the bill would be posted online 72 hours before it comes to a vote so that the American people could clearly see what’s in it and how we will pay for it. But she broke that promise too when she decided to rush the bill to a vote this weekend.</p>
<p>The speaker must be held accountable for her broken promises. Now is the time for Americans who believe in the free market and who believe that we need policies that promote job growth instead of job loss to say once and for all, “Enough!” Stand up and make your voices heard before it’s too late. Call and email your representatives and tell them to vote “no” on Pelosi’s train wreck of a health care bill, or else we will vote “no” to sending them back to Washington when we go to the polls in less than 12 months.</p>
<p>- Sarah Palin</p>
<p>PS: For an idea of the bureaucratic maze that the Pelosi bill would create, take a look at this new chart put out by the Joint Economic Committee.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; It is now confirmed that Joseph Cao ( R/La ) from New Orleans is the ONLY Republican to vote for Nazi Pelosi&#8217;s Health care Bill. when we put him in office it was with great joy that we now had someone in our corner in Louisiana. well we were wrong! what we have it seems is a self serving traitor to the Republican party and the American people that isn&#8217;t worth any more than his predecessor ( a Democrat ).He, like so any&nbsp; others tonite have served their last term in office. this bill is death to free enterprise and opens the door for the Liberal/Socialists in congress and the Half White House to finish the push to hard core Socialism. Congress did not listen to the very people they serve and I hope every one of them chokes to death on the 1200+ pages of this piece of crap bill!</p>
