Reduced to This?

A lot of political arguments are flimsy, self-serving and pathetic. Many are based on either pandering for votes by promising paradise or instilling panic by pointing to potential disaster caused by allowing the other side to prevail. The former is counter-productive for governmental efficiency and the latter is reprehensible because it preys on the fears of the ignorant.

But this is too pathetic for words:

Boehner Killed Santa Claus and Is Plotting Against the Elves

Seriously? Is that the best they can do to justify a free rein for unlimited continued spending?

See how many times you encounter the Christmas Calamity prediction in the next few days.

Christian literature during the Dark ages portrayed the Devul Hisself lurking behind every bush waiting to drag a G_d fearing man to his damnation.

Seems something have not changed.

Amazing how its ok to use Christian Motif's to denigrate ones opponent...but not in any positive way to celebrate that same motif.
