Presidents' Day

This is another thing that irks me. Why did they eliminate Lincoln and Washington's days? These were extraordinary men who deserve special recognition. To lump them in with all the presidents in one day is a disgrace!

    Some might argue for Thomas Jefferson, FDR, Teddy Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, etc etc etc. How many holidays do we want to give government employees and post office workers?

    I think these two are the greatest presidents. And lawmakers did too. You make a point, we don't want to have too many federal holidays.

The Immaculate Conception of Mary Debunked

Image
Bernadette Soubirous, a young teenager in France in the 19th century, reportedly experienced 18 visions of the Blessed Mother Mary. She appeared to Bernadette in a grotto near Lourdes. In one of these visions she exclaimed, "I AM THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION!" From Wikipedia: The Marian Apparitions at Lourdes were reported in 1858 by Bernadette Soubirous , a 14-year-old miller's daughter from the town of Lourdes in southern France . From 11 February to 16 July 1858, she reported 18 apparitions of "a Lady". Soubirous described the lady as wearing a white veil and a blue girdle; she had a golden rose on each foot and held a rosary of pearls.

Boycott NBC - removed "under God" from Pledge of Allegiance

During the recent U.S. Open broadcast this past Sunday, in the beginning of coverage NBC Sports division blatantly removed the words "under God" twice from the pledge of allegiance ! As a Christian I am outraged by this slight. How dare they do this. And the lukewarm apology which was issued was very weak. Who is responsible for this? We demand to know who made the decision to have this deliberate omission, it was no accident. No doubt some hateful bitter atheist employee of NBC Sports who can't stand the fact that most people in this country are people of faith. This person deserves to be fired! ALL CHRISTIANS, JEWS AND MUSLIMS MUST BOYCOTT NBC! We must let NBC know that they will not get away with this evil action. God is not to be mocked. This is even a stupid move pragmatically since the vast majority of their audience and most people who buy products and services from their advertisers are people of faith who believe in God. So this was a very dumb move strategicall
