Don't Have a Merry Christmas

Don't Have a Merry Christmas

I genuinely believe that liberalism is born of unhappiness. And, it's and unhappiness they like to spread. And, as the mainstream media is dominated by liberals, they use their forum to disseminate misery and ruin people's Christmas. The best way to do this is to remind us of how unfortunate some people are this Christmas.

Here are a few examples:

Tight borders pen illegals at Christmas

Quake-Battered Town Faces Bleak Christmas

PASO ROBLES, Calif. - During most Christmas seasons, Sandra Wallace loves to visit Paso Robles and share the holiday feeling in this town of 27,000 residents. Just not this year.

The celebratory mood has been deflated following this week's magnitude-6.5 earthquake that killed two people, flattened historic buildings and caused $100 million in damage.

Iowa town drained by war

BOONE, Iowa -- The signs of war were everywhere. The town's oldest barber lost almost half his regulars. The Pufferbilly Days Parade needed new volunteers. Only nine holes had been finished on the new championship golf course.

"Just the look on his face, I knew," said Connie Trout, his wife. "My stomach just turned. He said, `I got the call.'"


Boone has always been a National Guard town. Everyone knows someone who belongs -- a son, a cousin, a sister's boyfriend, a mother's neighbor. A major training center is just outside town and it has called up at least 400 people from the area.


But over the past two years, fueled by wars in Afghanistan (news - web sites) and Iraq (news - web sites), the nature of the Guard has changed. These soldiers are no longer leaving for weeks at a time to help communities hit by tornadoes and floods. Now they are on the front lines of fighting overseas.

As the royal family gathered Wednesday to celebrate the holidays, Queen Elizabeth II was mourning the death of one of her beloved corgis, mauled by a terrier with a violent past owned by her daughter Princess Anne.
