Quotes

“You know how to solve political correctness? Don’t do it.”~Brad Stine

"Only half the patients who go into an abortion clinic come out alive."~Author Unknown

"The fundamental human right, the presupposition of every other right, is the right to life itself. This is true of life from the moment of conception until its natural end. Abortion, consequently, cannot be a human right -- it is the very opposite. It is a deep wound in society."~ Pope Benedict XVI

"I have a right to nothing which another has a right to take away."~Thomas Jefferson

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."~Benjamin Franklin

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms...disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."~Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria

"If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents - the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and astronomers as well as for anyone else's. But if their thoughts - i.e., of Materialism and Astronomy - are merely accidental by-products, why should we believe them to be true? I see no reason for believing that one accident should be able to give me a correct account of all the other accidents. It's like expecting that the accidental shape taken by the splash when you upset a milk-jug should give you a correct account of how the jug was made and why it was upset."~C.S. Lewis

Say "Merry Christmas"

Well, pretty soon it's going to be that time of year again; soon, people will begin saying "happy holidays" again. This is an entirely idiotic thing to do. Know why? Becuase in the Christmas season (November through December/January), we have one historical holidy (which is called by name, and so it's irrelevant to this), one cultural holiday (which is also called by name, and so it too is irrelevant to this), one wierd holiday most people have never even heard of and so is irrelevant (this holiday is "Boxing day"), and two religious holidays. So...we're saying happy holidays for the purpose of two holidays? And one is Jewish, and the only thing I've ever seen offend a Jew is saying "you killed Jesus" (anyone who says that is retarded) and throwing them in concentration camps/the Gulag. So, we're saying "happy holidays" for one holiday. Holidays, plural, for one holiday? And to avoid saying the name of that one holiday? Say "happy holidays" and you are stupid! Don't even get me started on "season's greatings".

And honestly, there are only a few things that offend me (insults to Christianity, saying unborn babies aren't people and so can be murdered en masse, insults aimed specifically at race or color), but one thing that takes the cake is "X-mas". You chop the Name of my Savior out of His own holiday, because He offends you, and then you expect me not to care? Morons!What offends you about Him, saving the world that had wronged Him and killed Him so they wouldn't burn in Hell if they accept him...oh wait, maybe is the "Peace on Earth goowill to men" rhetoric? Because that's such a bad thing...

So, whenever someone says "happy holidays", or "season's greetings", or "happy X-mas", or some other cop-out, look them in the eye (have you noticed that is rare nowadays? More on that and other ex-common-courtesy things at a later date) and say, "Merry Christmas." (Emphasise Christ- when you say it.) This is very rewarding if the person is wearing some indicator of Liberal, anti-Religious, etc. opinions, or if they are leaving an ACLU fundraiser. :)

Sadly, this is true in many ways. People don't recognize and thank God for the gifts that He has given them, and I don't mean only physical ones. Nor do they recognize that Christmas is in reality the birth of Christ, when Jesus came to Earth in physical and human form to die for our sins. And what do we do? We ignore that fact, and try and cover it up. We Christians should get in people's faces when they say Merry X-mas. Say "MERRY CHRISTMAS"!!

Remember 9-11

I will never forget the 3,000 innocent deaths. Will you forget them? I will never forget the men who have sacrificed themselves to protect my freedom, my rights, and my life; they paid with their lives. Will you forget them? I will never forget the people slaughtered brutally by a genocidal dictator. Will you forget them? The world will forget many things, but this I pray, that the people who died on the 11th of September and the soldiers who died afterwards will always be remembered, for as long as the Red, White, and Blue flies proud and strong. Osama, we're coming for you!
