Bill O'Reilly: The War on Christmas Centralizes
The issue with the "War on Christmas" is over the mention or acknowledgement of the Godhead or Jesus Christ in any way, form, or fashion. They don't want Jesus' birth acknowledged. They don't want nativity scenes in the public square or out on the courthouse. They don't want Jesus exalted as the Son of God. They want any references of God expunged from America. However, they don't have any problem with Mohammed or Allah being mentioned in public. However, when you mention the name of Jesus, that's a totally different story. Who are perpetrating this war on Christmas? It's the secularists, atheists, secularist organizations, some corporations, even certain members of Congress. Those same people also want us to stop saying "Merry Christmas" and instead say, "Happy Holidays" or "Merry X-mas". They also want to change the term "Happy Thanksgiving" to "Turkey Day" etc. It's pathetic. Listen to the YouTube link of Bill O'Reilly.

High Court Ends Liberty University Lawsuit Over Obamacare
High Court Ends Liberty University Lawsuit Over Obamacare
Here's the problem with this decision: The Supreme Court back in June 2012 that the individual mandate issue that Obamacare requires is constitutional so therefore, if the Supreme Court were to review this case and give it the proper ruling, it would have to invalidate the ruling it made in June 2012 when it said that Obamacare was constitutional. They're won't do that. So therefore, the Supreme Court can't give an impartial ruling on issues dealing with Obamacare unless they invalidate the case in June 2012. The case with Liberty University also went after the provision with Obamacare which state that employers have to provide health care for their employees or pay a fine. So there wasn't any way the Supreme Court was going to rule impartially given the fact they ruled in favor of the individual mandate in June 2012.
How the Supreme Court is going to handle the Hobby Lobby case dealing with employers providing contraceptives to their employees I don't know. We'll find out when they hear that case next year. To read the full story, click on the above link from FoxNews.com.

President Obama May Remain in Washington After Leaving Presidency
http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-may-be-a-rare-ex-president-who-stays-in-washington/2013/11/29/81ba049c-5912-11e3-8304-caf30787c0a9_story.html
That doesn't surprise me any. President Obama is a Washington insider through and through. If you think he's going to leave Washington and have no more dealings there, you need to think again. I guarantee you Obama has enough contacts in Washington where Washington will always be a part of his life. He isn't going to disengage from politics once he finishes his second term. He and his wife both like Washington. They've never had it better than they do now. To read the full story, click on the above link from the Washington Post.

'Tis the Season
The Bells of Christmas--Julie Andrews
It Came Upon the Midnight Clear--Julie Andrews
The Wexford Carols--Julie Andrews
Once again the Christmas season is upon us. Christmas is one of my favorite holidays of the year. I enjoy all the events that surround this blessed season such as Christmas carols, the decorations such as the Christmas tree, holly, the manger scene, etc. In the area in which I live one of the local churches presents the annual musical entitled, "The Messiah" which was composed by George Frederick Handel in 1741. That musical is played every year around December 7th, which is the date that Pearl Harbor was attacked in World War II. That musical was presented for the very first time in that church on that date and ever since it has been performed in that church. There are also major orchestra performances celebrating the theme of Christmas each year.
I also enjoy the food that's cooked during this holiday season as well such as Christmas candy, cakes, turkey, ham, and all the trimmings that go along with it. This year I'm going to feature posts that celebrate Christmas as well as Christmas songs performed by many artists as well. In the last few years it's been the tradition to start off the season with the song sung by Julie Andrews years ago entitled, "The Bells of Christmas." This is a great way to commence the Christmas season. I will also be featuring the background behind Christmas songs as well. I will also feature posts concerning "thoughts of scripture" dealing with the theme "Joy to the World." Some of the essays that feature that theme will be entitled, "Joy to the World: Jesus was Born," "Joy to the World: Jesus Died for Man", and "Joy to the World: Jesus is Coming Again." I'm really excited about this holiday season. As we celebrate Christmas, let's not forget why we celebrate it. We celebrate it because of Jesus' birth into this world. Have a Merry Christmas and blessed holiday season.

George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation
George Washington's Thanksgiving Day Proclamation
Our nations' first president George Washington
I have embedded a link on this post which contains George Washington's Thanksgiving Proclamation to the nation in 1796. How we once again need a national leader to call this nation to a proclamation once more to the holiday that's designated to celebrate Thanksgiving. Consequently, America has sunk deep into the depths of depravity and has forgotten the God that made this country great. We need to once more take a look at the fact God has blessed us abundantly. We have so much to be thankful for. Yes, there are problems in this country. No question. In spite of that fact, we still have much to be thankful for. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
