quote:It is not surprising that, like many other festive Christmas customs, the tree was adopted so late in America. To the New England Puritans, Christmas was sacred. The pilgrims's second governor, William Bradford, wrote that he tried hard to stamp out "pagan mockery" of the observance, penalizing any frivolity. The influential Oliver Cromwell preached against "the heathen traditions" of Christmas carols, decorated trees, and any joyful expression that desecrated "that sacred event." In 1659, the General Court of Massachusetts enacted a law making any observance of December 25 (other than a church service) a penal offense; people were fined for hanging decorations. That stern solemnity continued until the 19th century, when the influx of German and Irish immigrants undermined the Puritan legacy.

That the US bought 313 million rounds of ammo from Israel Military Industries and Paid about 10 million more that it would have cost to buy them in the US. Just another Favor for Israel
, seems there are plenty of american ammo makers that would love the government contract....

ANSWER: OF COURSE YOU DIDN'T KNOW...! BECAUSE OUR MEDIA WOULDN'T TELL US...!
Instead of reflecting our love for our country, we get photos of flag burning incidents at Abu Ghraib and people throwing snowballs at the presidential motorcades. The lack of accentuating the positive in Iraq serves two purposes. It is intended to undermine the world's perception of the United States thus minimizing consequent support, and it is intended to discourage American citizens.
The above facts are verifiable on the Department of Defense web site.

I imagine old Ted and the pervert wiener used up a few bucks of that slush fund.
This is another example of why we need term limits and to clean house on these scumbag politicians.
None of the Bush's ever did a thing to curb greedy politicians.
