The United States Is A Christian Nation

From Old Virginia Blog which is not only a fun blog, it is also scholarly!

This is from 2009, but it is worth repeating. If you go to the blog mentioned above you will find more links about our history and especially the Civil War (War of Northern Aggression). Also, parents and grandparents take note, it is a fabulous resource for students.

There are many resources that confirm that we are a Christian nation made up of Christian states, but this really gets the ball rolling...

John Kerry's Intelligence As Mythical As His Medals

John Kerry. Still lookin' good in his windsurfing spandex. Still married to a dead Republican's wife who is worth 57 gazillion dollars. John Kerry, still a tad iffy on history, dates, times and math.

GOP will paralyze Senate floor with reading of 1,924-page spending bill

“The irony, the hypocrisy of us sitting here with them standing up and saying 'Oh my Gosh, it’s the last minute,' ” he added. “It’s the last minute because they haven’t let us do anything. The game plan is usually to keep preventing things from happening.”

How many Democrat and Independent votes are there in the current Congress Johnny Boy? So, who's preventing who? If you believe your statement true, how pathetic is that?

So Johnny F. are you afraid that if senators actually hear what is in the bill that you might not have enough time to get to your mansion of choice to celebrate the birth of Christ?
