S/he just wants to pick a fight about the much-discussed but rarely confirmed War on Christmas.; December 23, 2014 at 1:54 PM

How these folks created the greatest country on the face of the Earth is beyond me. They should have been more politically correct.

See what all this offended attitude has done for our country today.; December 23, 2014 at 4:06 PM
