Its the Holiday Season for Some. For Republicans its Time to be Anti-American

Merry Hyatt, Tea Party Patriot, Wants Mandatory Christmas Carols In Public Schools

The Tea Party movement is supposed to be all about keeping the government out of your business. But if some California members get their way, the state will force public schoolchildren to sing Christmas carols.

It's called the "Freedom to Present Christmas Music in Public School Classrooms or Assemblies" initiative.

Merry Hyatt, a substitute teacher and member of the Redding Tea Party Patriots, is behind the push. The Record Searchlight reports:

The initiative would require schools to provide children the opportunity to listen to or perform Christmas carols, and would subject the schools to litigation if the rule isn't followed.

The 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees freedom to worship as one chooses, not the right to shove your religion down someone's throat. Its funny how much fundamentalist conservatives have in common with radical Muslims.

Big news, Sarah Palin told another lie, In Attempting To Justify Her Denier Op-Ed, Palin Lies About Her Past Climate Change Views. The concept of integrity is apparently lost on Mrs. Palin.

Contradictory Republicans Still Flummoxed By Medicare

If it weren't for the fact that the Washington media establishment is gamed in favor of Republicans, it's very likely that they would have long since been relegated to nothing more than a LaRouche-style crackpot cult, handing out mimeographed pamphlets outside the post office.

How else, other than via the self-conscious deference afforded it by the press, do the Republicans get away with issuing the following two press releases within a single 24 hour span:

Sunday: "Cutting Medicare is not what Americans want."

Monday: "Expanding Medicare a plan for financial ruin."

In case you're wondering, these statements didn't come from one of the many far out wingnuts like Steve King, Michele Bachmann or Virginia Foxx (Medicare recipient). They were, in fact, dispatched from Senate Minority Leader (And Real-Life Albino Sleestak) Mitch McConnell's office. Yes, the highest ranking Republican in Congress wrote-up both headlines, ostensibly proof-read and unapologetically shoved into the public record.

Two press releases that exactly contradict each other.

Mitch has been a Senator from Kentucky for over twenty years. He is walking proof that America's problems are not a mystery. People keep reelecting anti-American twits like Mitch year after year.
