The Wisconsin state tree "celebrates one holiday, and that holiday is Christmas," said sponsor Rep. Marlin Schneider, D-Wisconsin Rapids. "It was called a Christmas tree from 1916 until 1985, when political correctness took over, and then we decided it would become a holiday tree. But what it really is, is a Christmas tree, and there''s nothing really wrong with that."
Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst for Focus on the Family Action, said he couldn''t agree more.
"There''s absolutely nothing wrong, constitutionally speaking, with government acknowledging the real name for this season," he said. "As John Adams famously stated: ''Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.''

"The First Amendment was designed to protect and nurture our religious expression, not prohibit it."

Here''s something you''ll be proud of and it will finally put to rest all this b.s. about separation of church and state.

The House resolution: "(1) recognizes the Christian faith as one of the great religions of the world; (2) expresses continued support for Christians in the United States and worldwide; (3) acknowledges the international religious and historical importance of Christmas and the Christian faith; (4) acknowledges and supports the role played by Christians and Christianity in the founding of the United States and in the formation of the western civilization; (5) rejects bigotry and persecution directed against Christians, both in the United States and worldwide; and (6) expresses its deepest respect to American Christians and Christians throughout the world.%u201D

Compliments of Rep. Steven King. It passed in the house with a vote of 372-9. Wait there''s more coming.

I don''t understand what all the hullabaloo is about. He just asked a question of something he wasn''t sure about. What is wrong with asking to have something clarified? Why is the media making such a big deal about someone asking a question?

Excellent communicator, will bring parties together.

7. He will lead with principles rather than money.
He cares everybody not just those on Wall Street.

8. He will give Hope to America and enthusiasm.
He plays bass guitar in a band, dynamic personality.

9. He will carry out his goals, not talk about them.
Lost 110 pounds, kept it off, ran 4 Marathons-26.2m

10. He knows the American people is the real boss.
As Governor, his picture frame only shows citizens.

Vote for Mike Huckabee, otherwise you will not be able to enjoy these benefits

Since the other candidates don''t have anything to say on what they can do for America, they take the easy road and resort to taking cheap shots at Mike. Don%u2019t fall into their trap any longer with negative attacks, let''s show the critics and the naysayers that Americans have pride and we are ready to elect an honest, humble, trustworthy man for US President.

The guy asked a question he didn''t know the answer to.

When did that become a crime?

And, yes, for the record, the Mormons believe that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers. The story goes that they both sat at the table with the Father to discuss saving mankind from their sins. Lucifer wanted to enslave the human race and make them accept himself as their leader and savior. Jesus offered, instead, to die for the sins of the people and give them a choice. God liked Jesus'' plan better. So, Lucifer rebelled, got 1/3 of the angels to join him. It is also the belief of the Mormon Church that we are all angels in a human body, sent here to be tested. Lucifer and his angels, apparently, didn''t get granted the priviledge, therefore, they lurk about as wandering, mischievious spirits full of jealousy. But, again, we''re not here to look at the religion. We''re here to look at the man. I doubt very seriously that he takes that doctrine to heart.
