Merry Christmas in June! Governor Perry signs law protecting "Merry Christmas" in official documents in Texas.

Hey this is beeches!!!!!


I did not notice I was not signed in.

Drat!

Go Perry!

Perry says he

realize it's only June. But it's a good June and the holidays are coming early this year," Perry said. " It's a shame that a bill like this one I'm signing today is even required, but I'm glad that we're standing up for religious freedom in this state. Religious freedom does not mean freedom from religion."

Time for me to move back!

Thanks for the red flag, whoever did it!!!


i am ecstatic.

working in a school, every year I call it "Christmas Break" only to be told it is not. It is "Winter Break".

Well, I say, let's make a "Winter Break" that does not include December 25th.

Of course they know it's BS to call it winter break.



See how far THAT gets you.

Hopefully this spreads to wherever you are, Still Meow.

I'd like it to spread here too.

The bill's sponsor, Republican Rep. Dwayne Bohac of Houston, said he drafted it after discovering that his son's school erected a "holiday tree" in December because any mention of Christmas could spark litigation.

in another part of the Fox article a victory

for a group of Texas cheerleaders is referenced.

they had been forbidden to mention Bible verses.

this was reversed.

A great quote...

and I am an atheist.

Yup, Perry got that right. Not sure if he is quoting someone else, or if it is his words originally.

Just take a look at how many of the pinned threads at the moment concern schools

- this thread
- the suicide note thread
- the "peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are racist" thread.


And it's June for goodness sake - the stuff will really start again in August/September, when the kiddies come back.

when did xmas begin?

It makes me sad. My son is 4 and about to be entering the public school system. I have no say in this, his crazy fucking mom get's full control over his future.

All the shit going down in this country... scandals, spies, Syria, Birth Certificates... on and on.

And all the Christian conservatives can do is pass a bill to protect the words 'Merry Christmas'.

We are a bunch of lousy, do nothing... get nothing accomplished, losers...

Let's face it, we are reduced to trying to protect a couple of words while the world burns down around us.

Hollow victory. Sad day for this country when that is all we can accomplish.

If you spend time with him, be a good example. Speak about things that matter to you as he grows older.

Believe me, the dad who visits has a huge effect too, if he stays the course.

Good luck to you on this,

He must be sending the message that he didn't covert to Islam yet.

Duly noted. What magnificent actions have you done this morning, Carnac?

I would be proud to be Perry today.

Words are mightier than swords.

The Trojan Horse effect?

Willing to risk it.

My governor signed a piece of paper and gave a little speech. BFD.

If he would have spent that time leading a rally against the corrupt Obama administration I would have driven to Austin to support him. But he is wants publicity. Leading a rally would make him a target.

Spring break use to be called Easter Vacation.

Kids use to costume up and celebrate Halloween.

Use to pledge of allegiance to the flag, under god

Use to swear on the bible in court

Use to be able to display Christmas themes in the public.


.

What a sad state of affairs it is to actually have to pass legislation to protect 2 words we've all grown up with. What the hell is wrong with people ? How far do we need to bend over in our own country to appease the global free loaders ?

I wish this was the most important issue facing the U.S.A today.

I love living in Texas. This is the only place i ever want to live. Texas>All

what was so wrong with all this? maybe if we still had the old standers kids wouldn't be taking guns to school and killing the Teachers and classmates.
A Nation without God is a Nation without morals and a Nation without morals will soon fall.

omfg

i totally LOVE Texas!!!!

more of this we need, and less pandering to shit shovers and head chopper offers

It is.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.


If we follow the Old Testament and the New Testament, our nation will prosper.

Right!

In my school district starting last year(2012)the kids could no longer give gifts at their christmas parties.

They(all of Kaufman co.)Tx. schools adopted with Dallas co schools not to do gifts anymore for the reason of up-setting other Religions.

I hope those damn Libs like the new Law!

LOL....

If you don't know that this makes Obamma sweat, well I am telling you.

He notices all.

Nice to see that incoherent moron taking on the really big challenges.

5 stars!

Merry Christmas, one and all.

Thanks, MSD. I knew this would get some flak, but what surprises me is the weakness of the negative comments.

anyhow, I appreciate the stars.
