North Carolina Students Told They Can’t Sell “Christmas Trees” For Charity, Must Be Called “Holiday Trees”…

Weasel Zippers, which refers to this story as "mind-numbing". What on earth is happening in this country anyway when we must - MUST - honor Muslim holidays, but dare not speak the 'C' word? This nation gets less free as time goes on.

This report from Fox News Radio

A North Carolina community college has been accused of violating the First Amendment rights of students after they told a club they could not use the word “Christmas” to promote a Christmas tree sale.
“It’s ridiculous that anyone would have to think twice about using the word ‘Christmas’ as part of a Christmas tree sale,” said Matt Sharp, an attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom.
ADF sent a letter to officials at Western Piedmont Community College urging them to either reconsider their decision to censor the word “Christmas” – or else face a possible lawsuit.
College officials did not return multiple phone calls and email messages seeking comment.
The student club, called the BEST Society, was planning to sell the Christmas trees to raise money for Angel Tree, an organization that provides Christmas presents to children.
Club members followed college protocol and submitted forms to promote the sale. The proposed text read, “The BEST Society will be selling Christmas Trees…”
But when the announcement appeared on the college’s website and in other venues – it had been altered. Ever reference to “Christmas Trees” had been replaced with “holiday trees.”

American Thinker carried this back in 2009: It's that Silly, Politically Correct Holiday Season
"It happens every year at this time: the battles of political correctness. When a community puts up a Christmas tree, one of two things happens. Either there is a battle to take it down totally, or someone fights to get a Chanukkiyah (that's the real name, not Menorah), Kwanzaa candles, or a symbol of some other religion's holiday placed right next to it. Then Fox News follows by running stories about the latest battle in the "war against Christmas," and the ACLU starts suing any town whose mayor ever went to a church, mosque, and/or synagogue. Hey, ACLU: Give it up. America is a Christian country."

Empty Embrace… Hurricane Sandy Victim Upset After Being Played By Obama

Gateway Pundit  "Obama used her as a photo-op and promised to get her assistance after her business was wiped out by Hurricane Sandy. But it was all a show.

"From the White House website:"


 "Donna Vanzant still hasn’t received any help and she’s upset.

I was very excited and felt warm by the embrace thinking this is really going to happen. I’m going to get the help I need because he promised that. I’ve gotten no help. I’ve gotten nothing but ‘No, you’re not covered for this. No, you’re not covered for that.”

NLRB ... Obama's "Thank You" Weapon

Neal Boortz  "Just last week I warned you that the Obama administration will be using his (illegally appointed) National Labor Relations Board in order to thank the unions for their work in getting him re-elected. I told you about one promise already coming down the pipeline which is to allow unions to access personal employee information including email addresses, phone numbers and work schedules of employees. This, of course, helps union goons access and intimidate workers into supporting or joining a union.

"This next “thank you” hits close to home. "....

U.S. Soldier’s Letter Starkly Details Nazi’s Actions Toward Jews, Others

Debbie Schlussel
That was then...

...."And I recently saw this letter, listed by a seller who often sells the old letters of U.S. soldiers who served in the Civil War, World Wars I & II, Korea, and Vietnam. The letter, by U.S. Army Sgt. Charles Duvall to his wife back home, is chilling in its details of what he saw when they liberated a Nazi concentration camp, the inmates of which were Jews. "

This is now...

        

...."I’m sure the Holocaust-deniers will claim the letter–and hundreds of thousands of others like it, many of which are lost to history and long ago sent to trash bins–are fakes or forgeries, their usual dismissal of the evidence. But we know they are not. We know this is real.

"I wonder, if 70 years from now, we will come upon letters from soldiers who saw the atrocities of our current, more resistant strain of Nazis: Muslims who are fomenting conflict and perpetrating terrorism around the world."

Peaceful Coexistence with Radical Islamists is Impossible

American Thinker  "Arafat also said, "Peace for us means the destruction of Israel. We are preparing for an all-out war, a war which will last for generations. Since January 1965, when Fatah was born, we have become the most dangerous enemy that Israel has....We shall not rest until the day when we return to our home, and until we destroy Israel." (El Mundo, Caracas, Venezuela, February 11, 1980)....

Do they make these bumper stickers in Arabic?

"Applying the same substitutions to this quote lends additional credence to the hypothesis that Arafat is the originator of the global Islamist movement's strategy. Whatever the case may be, though, this much is certain: peaceful coexistence with radical Islamists is impossible. Based on all of the available evidence, any other conclusion is a manic delusion."

The contrast above of John Lennon with the murderous Arabs is a pleasant one; however we must picture this same John Lennon opposing all efforts by Israelis to find and rid themselves of the terrorists and their storehouses of rockets.

Still trying to figure how this petulant juvenile could have been reelected.

The GOP's Marketing Problem: Why Aren't People Buying What Republicans Are Selling?

"Do Republicans have the right product, but the wrong marketing plan? Find out on this Trifecta."(Video)

'Shut Up, Grandpa'  "Collectivists of the Washington establishment, representing both major parties, have analyzed the 2012 election results and come to a lovely conclusion: old white men are the problem. The only difference of opinion between the two factions regards how one ought to handle it. ...Republican experts, as the reluctant stewards of these cantankerous fogies, are more circumspect: they merely want to leave Grandpa ranting in the corner with his talk radio shows "

Walmart vs. the Thugs; The retail giant has powerful adversaries.

Michelle Malkin  "Black Friday always brings out the worst: long lines, short tempers, and random outbreaks of shoppers’ rage. This year, Big Labor will ratchet up the Strikesgiving tension with professional grievance-mongers and workers picketing at 1,000 Walmart stores nationwide.

"Attention, Walmart directors: Appeasement of a mob never works. Walmart has tried repeatedly to stave off union thuggery through political “partnerships” and capitulation. It has failed and failed and failed."

Obama's Soviet Mistake/ Obama elected by an illiterate society

Pravda  "Putin in 2009 outlined his strategy for economic success. Alas, poor Obama did the opposite but nevertheless was re-elected. Bye, bye Miss American Pie. The Communists have won in America with Obama but failed miserably in Russia with Zyuganov who only received 17% of the vote. Vladimir Putin was re-elected as President keeping the NWO order out of Russia while America continues to repeat the Soviet mistake."
....

Here Pravda makes a point which I can agree with except for their old Soviet outlook- that Obama is a warmonger. I do not think Obama is capable of standing firmly against aggressors who may make him pay a price for it.
"Recently, Obama has been re-elected for a 2nd term by an illiterate society and he is ready to continue his lies of less taxes while he raises them. He gives speeches of peace and love in the world while he promotes wars as he did in Egypt, Libya and Syria. He plans his next war is with Iran as he fires or demotes his generals who get in the way."

Why President Barack Obama should not visit Russia.

American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research  "Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced last week that President Vladimir Putin had called to congratulate Barack Obama on his reelection and claimed that the American president accepted an invitation from Putin to come to Russia. Obama's plans, which have not yet been publicly announced, seem truly puzzling.

"In the past 12 months, Putin's foreign and domestic policies have been nothing but a brazen, in-your-face challenge to U.S. interests and values. Russia has sided with Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria as it slaughtered tens of thousands of its own citizens, casting three vetoes in the U.N. Security Council to shield Damascus from international sanctions. Moreover, it has signaled the end of its already limited and caveat-ridden support for international efforts to contain a nuclear-bound Iran."

From the Moscow Times; The Reason Russian-Americans Dislike Obama  "Most of my Moscow friends who took an interest in the U.S. election and knew the difference between the candidates fell into the same category. This wasn't because they feared that Republican candidate Mitt Romney would make good on his promises to stand up to Russia. On the contrary, few among Russia's intelligentsia support President Vladimir Putin, and they probably wouldn't mind if the West took a tougher stance against Russia's current leadership."

It’s Time For Republicans To Give America a History Lesson

American Glob  ",Grab your imaginary microphone and video camera, we’re going to do a man-in-the-street type of experiment.

Now we’re downtown in your city and we’re going to ask passersby the following question:
Which party started the KKK?
OK, now we’re done. You know what 9 out of ten people answered? Republicans.
Of course, that’s wrong. The KKK was started by Democrats, in fact it was considered the terrorist wing of the Democratic Party. Senator Robert Byrd, a Democrat who died one year after Obama took office was even a member.
Why did so many people get the answer wrong? There are many reasons but the main one is that the Democrats and their allies in the media have spent the last four years beating a drum on a daily basis calling Republicans racists. More...

From Althouse; "Everytime I think the Democratic race card players could not get more vile..."
"It's an obvious scheme — actually, I am not amazed — to scare conservatives into believing that there are some Democrats who may not be criticized. If you accept the pushback, it will occur again and again. It's bullying, really. The key is to recognize it and confront it soundly, or it will go on and on."

Newt nails it again: America is NOT a center-right nation; the left dominates

David Horowitz TV   "Hear Newt Gingrich take on the Republican political consultants and their game plans that lost this last election." Video at the link plus the video below.

"David Horowitz started the Center for the Study of Popular Culture (now the David Horowitz Freedom Center) in 1988. Over the next 18 years, he attracted 50,000 contributing supporters and established programs such as The Wednesday Morning Club, the Individual Rights Foundation, Students for Academic Freedom, and FrontPage Magazine, the Center’s online journal of news and political commentary. DiscoverTheNetworks.org, launched in 2005, is the largest publicly accessible database defining the chief groups and individuals of the Left and their organizational interlocks. Since 2003, the Center has promoted an Academic Bill of Rights to support students’ academic freedom, and free the American university from political indoctrination and renew its commitment to true intellectual diversity."
