Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Exclamation The origins of Christmas are not pagan

I hear it repeated over and over that the origin of Christmas is Pagan but it is historically false.

This is dead on. I would change one incorrect assertion the word "Catholic" to describe the body of Christ first appears in historical writing not during the Reformation or at the time of Constantine either but in the year 110 in a writing by St Ignatius in a letter to the Smyrneans. He does not explain the term either so they all must have understood it. Anyway this is something for consideration.

FYI before you accuse me of peddling my religious belief I would point out I am not Lutheran.
