More rhetoric and nothing will change until we the voters have had enough of politics as usual. (Yesterday | post #3)

Richardson: Tax hikes inevitable

Of course Billy Boy will raise taxes. We can't expect the government to act responsibly and use some restraint in funding their pork barrel political projects. When less money is coming in than you are spending it is logical to cut back to meet the budget. I guess this is just too much to ask. (Yesterday | post #29)

Ft Hood Attack

I don't think it was a terrorist attack. From what I have been reading this guy has been having problems for a while. I believe he just lost it. (Yesterday | post #7)

Pagan/Wiccan

I'm not a blue blood. I think most if not all families have relatives that practiced some or all of the old traditions. I grew up on a farm. My grandmother was very close to the earth and seasons so naturally her beliefs were in that area. She felt Christianity was a blood sucking waste of time. The church was more interested in fleecing the flock than tending to it. My parents were Christian so I was raised as a Lutheran. My grandmothers beliefs appealed to me more than Christianity so I left the church at a young age. (Yesterday | post #13)

I have no idea how many generations my spiritual path goes back. My grandmother for sure. She used to talk about family traditions but that was about it. She was a firm believer in following the family traditions you like and making your own throughout your life. She was a very interesting woman and a very big influence on my life.

I don't believe any of them are worth squat. I watch several networks in hope that I may figure out what is really happening. I quit watching MSNBC because they are the worst of the bunch. Maybe this poll should have been which is the worst. (Sunday | post #59)

Clark I always get a charge out of your posts. I can definitely understand the reason to stay home for Christmas routine. It never fails to amaze me how the Christians can take a Pagan Holiday, Christianize it and then claim it has always been that way. In my grandmother's home Yule lasted 6 days beore the solstice and 6 days after. Gifts were given on all of the days. The holiday was a great time of feasting, partying and family celebration. I carried on the tradition in my home. Other than being labeled a bunch of devil worshiping, crazed, baby sacrificing heathens from my fundie relatives and them screaming we are disrespecting the true meaning of Christmas we carry on the tradition without them.

I read the article. It didn't say much other than a few muslims are upset and condemn the acts. By in large the muslim community and leadership have remained quiet. This needs to change. (Saturday | post #16)
