Here’s wishing you peace, love, whale noises, and frisbee for the Holiday Season. After that, back to Obama’s socialist hell.

My wish and prayers for a happy holiday season for you and your family, Jeff. Merry Christmas!
Great picture! And happy holidays to you, all the rest of the PWers, and your families.
…whale noises?
That is an exceptionally cool photo, Jeff.
Best of all to you and yours!
whale noises
Megan McCain feeding frenzy ?
Merry Christmas, all!.
Whale noises are how the Washington Leviathan communicates with its minions. To the rest of us it sounds like terminal dyspepsia, but to them it’s high philosophical discourse.
Regardless of all the suck going around, it’s always good to be alive. Merry Christmas, Jeff, PWers and all of your loved ones.

That’s a heartwarming photo of the boys Jeff.
My sincere wishes that you and yours enjoy a wonderful time over the next couple of weeks; push all the other distractions aside and focus on the basking in the warm embrace of your loving family.
Though Chanukah is over, I hope it was warm, meaningful, and joyous time for any of the PW folks who might have celebrated it. Shalom.
Likewise to all of the Christian faith, I pray that you experience a Merry Christmas and a joyous New Year; replete with blessings of health, prosperity, joy, and peace.
Indeed, my best wishes and regards to all, whether celebrating or not. Though I don’t get to comment anywhere near as much as I’d like anymore, for a variety of reasons, I still get to read the posts and comment threads from time to time, and still admire you all; the folks who collectively form the most thoughtful, insightful, and intelligent commentariat on the internet.
God bless and all the best

100th anniversary of the iconic Christmas truce that most of us learned about from a Snoopy song.
Amazing what’s possible when the enemy is at least nominally civilized.
What I’m finding interesting this year is how many TV channels are showing a fire in a fireplace for hours and hours and hours.
It may be this year’s most popular Christmas special.
that picture is special one of those ones what would be hard to recreate

Merry Christmas everyone.

Merry Christmas everyone, a day late. I was too busy cooking/cleaning/what-not to wish my computer friends a happy one.
And yes, back to the socialist hell. Obama golfs while the world burns.
Official release says the Obama’s sang Christmas carols after they opened their presents in the morning.
Who believes this?
The Internati0nale isn’t technically a Christmas carol.
I admit I’m a tad sceptical.
That probably makes me a racist.

>So this is where the curve turns, and it’s down we go, straight down, to realms never before charted in the American experiment. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. And remember this; as I like to say about the Left: they never stop, they never sleep, they never quit.<

>The post-totalitarian system touches people at every step, but it does so with its ideological gloves on. This is why life in the system is so thoroughly permeated with hypocrisy and lies: government by bureaucracy is called popular government; the working class is enslaved in the name of the working class; the complete degradation of the individual is presented as his ultimate liberation; depriving people of information is called making it available; the use of power to manipulate is called the public control of power, and the arbitrary abuse of power is called observing the legal code; the repression of culture is called its development; the expansion of imperial influence is presented as support for the oppressed; the lack of free expression becomes the highest form of freedom; farcical elections become the highest form of democracy; banning independent thought becomes the most scientific of world views; military occupation becomes fraternal assistance. Because the regime is captive to its own lies, it must falsify everything. It falsifies the past. It falsifies the present, and it falsifies the future. It falsifies statistics. It pretends not to possess an omnipotent and unprincipled police apparatus. It pretends to respect human rights. It pretends to persecute no one. It pretends to fear nothing. It pretends to pretend nothing.
Individuals need not believe all these mystifications, but they must behave as though they did, or they must at least tolerate them in silence, or get along well with those who work with them. For this reason, however, they must live within a lie. They need not accept the lie. It is enough for them to have accepted their life with it and in it. For by this very fact, individuals confirm the system, fulfill the system, make the system, are the system.<

Casting Crowns – All You’ve Ever Wanted
>When I speak of living within the truth, I naturally do not have in mind only products of conceptual thought, such as a protest or a letter written by a group of intellectuals. It can be any means by which a person or a group revolts against manipulation: anything from a letter by intellectuals to a workers’ strike, from a rock concert to a student demonstration, from refusing to vote in the farcical elections to making an open speech at some official congress, or even a hunger strike, for instance. If the suppression of the aims of life is a complex process, and if it is based on the multifaceted manipulation of all expressions of life, then, by the same token, every free expression of life indirectly threatens the post-totalitarian system politically, including forms of expression to which, in other social systems, no one would attribute any potential political significance, not to mention explosive power.
The Prague Spring is usually understood as a clash between two groups on the level of real power: those who wanted to maintain the system as it was and those who wanted to reform it. It is frequently forgotten, however, that this encounter was merely the final act and the inevitable consequence of a long drama originally played out chiefly in the theatre of the spirit and the conscience of society. And that somewhere at the beginning of this drama, there were individuals who were willing to live within the truth, even when things were at their worst. These people had no access to real power, nor did they aspire to it. The sphere in which they were living the truth was not necessarily even that of political thought. They could equally have been poets, painters, musicians, or simply ordinary citizens who were able to maintain their human dignity. Today it is naturally difficult to pinpoint when and through which hidden, winding channel a certain action or attitude influenced a given milieu, and to trace the virus of truth as it slowly spread through the tissue of the life of lies, gradually causing it to disintegrate. One thing, however, seems clear: the attempt at political reform was not the cause of’ society’s reawakening, but rather the final outcome of that reawakening.<
