To all of you and yours…

Dominus Vobiscum,

And there were in the same country shepherds watching and keeping the night watches over their flock. And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them and the brightness of God shone round about them: and they feared with a great fear. And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy that shall be to all the people: For, this day is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God and saying:

Glory to God in the highest: and on earth peace to men of good will.

-The Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ According to St. Luke: 8-14 (Douay-Rheims)

Today is Sunday, December 20, 2009. There are only 4 days left to prepare for Christmas and I have soooooooo much to do in soooooooo little time. Therefor, in the name of mental and physical self preservation, I have to make a concerted effort to lay off the posting here and get busy preparing for Christmas. If by chance I do happen to slip one or two posts in between now and December 25, it will likely be brief and/or rather important. You can check in on me from time to time, but expect the posting here to be VERY light until after Christmas. My message to all of you at this time is to be safe, get off the gawdamned computer and go spend this precious time with your loved ones during this special time of year.

With every negative thing that’s going on in this messed up world these days, it sure is nice to hear about things like this. We all see miracles in our lives every day, even it it is as simple as waking up alive in the morning to see the dawn of a brand new day. It means we’ve been given an extra day to accomplish more than we did the day before – one more chance to get it right.

It appears that I’ve been busted. Two days ago I posted a rant on how United States Liberals hate Christmas. Although I could have written much more on the topic to drive the message home (so-to-say), it was getting past midnight and I was exhausted, yet I still felt a tremendous need to get something posted before I quit for the night. So, I kept it down to a simple paragraph and an even more simple picture which I grabbed in haste from a Google image search. Just so you know, this is not my typical method of publishing my frustrations for you all to see. I am not a typical fly-by-post kinda guy. With that said, it should be known that I make every effort to ensure that my rants include factually correct information. Unfortunately, I erred in my last post and felt that I should immediately come clean with an apology and a correction. The last thing I need is to be accused of cooking up stories to destroy the image of others. That’s a reputation better left to the likes of Dan Rather and Mary Mapes.

Anyway, one of the emails I received yesterday pointed out something quite disturbing to me…

Mo,

Do you realize that you’re latest post which claims that “U.S. Liberals hate Christmas” uses a picture of a group of people that are not even part of American politics? The peeps in that picture are British citizens campaigning for the “Liberal Democrat” party in merry old England!

Just thought you would like to know.

After reading that, I’m sure you can realize the amount of shock and embarrassment I was in. Never the less, I was determined to set the record straight – hopefully soon so that nobody would notice. If I just swap out the picture for one littered with our own homegrown moonbats, the problem would be resolved and that would be the end of it. I did, however, hate like anything having to replace the picture because it just looked so good for the post. Then, it occurred to me; I remembered a story I read last week about how the commies over at MoveOn.org ran an anti-war Christmas advertisement claiming how horrible it was that United States soldiers would not be home with their families this Christmas holiday and it was all George Bushes fault (emphasis mine). Much to our surprise *cough* *cough*, there were several things in the ad that just appeared to be inconsistent with MoveOn.org’s message as described by a spokesman for the Defense Department…

Todd Vician, a spokesman with the U.S. Defense Department, told Cybercast News Service after viewing the ad that none of the men featured in the photograph was wearing U.S. uniforms. “We don’t have that style of desert camouflage,” he said.

Vician noted that combat fatigues worn by the Marines and the Army have “a pixilated design,” and Air Force BDUs (Battle Dress Uniforms) have a different pattern than the uniforms shown in the spot.

In addition to the men wearing foreign uniforms, Vician stated that he had never seen U.S. soldiers using meal containers like those shown in the ad.

The spot contains another discrepancy. While the photo of the soldiers as seen in the advertisement shows one man wearing shorts, a still of the same picture on the MoveOn.org website shows the same man wearing long pants.

And so I figured that if it was ok for MoveOn.org to doctor pictures of Brits to look like Yanks in order to get their message across, then why can’t I???

Now that I know my picture more accurately represents American Liberals as the ass clowns that they really are, I can finally sleep better at night.

Shouts to Michelle Malkin for the soldier pic.
