a whole generation 'let go' and 'let government'

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

...next year it will be an "Allah-Fest" with turbans and dull rusty knives to behead the infidels. Maybe they can rent camels too.


"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

as long as the government doesn't pay for it.....but if it does and allah allows it then they too are bought by humankind

Holiday parade has right name, and right themes


    I wish to congratulate The Daily Gazette on its annual holiday parade, which I attended for the first time this year [Nov. 17]. It was a lot of fun!
    For the past several years the parade has been a traffic nightmare to me. This year I avoided that problem by simply attending the event after my afternoon workshop meeting concluded. I even got some Christmas shopping done in the Proctors Arcade!
    I believe that for a festive event that occurs a week before the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, a full 37 shopping days before Christmas, the “holiday” title is appropriate. I had no problem with the “Magic & Myths” theme, better than “Local Advertisers and Fire Departments Roll Down State Street.”
    The two Chinese dragons were great. I hope next year Price Chopper sponsors an even bigger dragon to go with these two, the kind with people inside.
    Given that Chinese dragons have been parading down the streets of San Francisco before Mao Zedong was born, they are no more symbols of his crimes than the Russian Ballet is of the crimes of Comrade Stalin!
    If the dragons were included because the People’s Republic holds some U.S. treasures, I hope to see Japanese geishas and the grenadier guards also included next year. Those Redcoats with their bearskin hats make great tin soldiers!
    With that said, if some church group next year joins the parade with Joseph, Mary, and the Three Wise Men walking down State Street on their way to Bethlehem, with a choir behind singing “Do You Hear What I Hear?” that, too, would be great!

Someone who doesn't live here and never attends the parade but happened to be downtown thinks everything was just fine.
