Believing that a song from 1944 uses that line to suggest the male slipped a date rape drug in the female's drink is to believe that the male is also a cannibal because of the lyrics "Gee, your lips look delicious."

 

And for the record, quite possibly the best recording of this song is from Zooey Deschanel and Leon Redbone.

 

Every Leon Redbone song is good.

My favorite version of the song as well.

What's crazy is more and more comedians are refusing to play college campuses because of things like that.

Gotta love revisionism.

It will be so nice to have someone in the White House who actually celebrates Christmas.

Western Journalism reported:

President Barack Obama and his family sent their final White House “Christmas” card to friends, supporters and members of the media last Friday, but as was noted by many, the card contained no references whatsoever to Christmas itself.

 

Instead it featured a picture of the the Obamas dressed up on the front and a “Happy Holidays” message on the back.

“As our family reflects on many happy years spent in the White House, we are grateful for the friends we’ve made, the joy we’ve shared, and the gifts of kindness we’ve received,” the backside of the card read. “We wish you and your loved ones a joyous holiday season and a wonderful new year.”

 

Here’s this year’s card, as posted on Today.com. No Christmas tree. No nativity scene. No Christ child. No Merry Christmas. Just a politically correct “joyous holiday season.”

And perhaps, with the Obamas leaving the chief bully pulpit, leftist feminists felt the need to hijack a timeless children’s Christmas story, “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical.” According to these radical feminists, women aren’t getting a fair shake in this story, so they changed it.

 

The New York Times once again errs on the side of the left and inclusion.

 

According to “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: The Musical,” there’s something even more unheard-of than letting a funny-looking buck play in any reindeer games: allowing a doe to join in.

 

And the NYT critic make it more political by saying this classic story denies half the population an opportunity at greatness.

 

… The story’s themes — that bullying is cruel, and that those who are born different can make vital contributions — certainly remain timeless lessons for children. But you can’t help being disappointed that this show championing equality still denies it to half the population.

You conveniently left out the text of the homemade poster which stated "For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a savior, which is Christ the Lord"

 

Sorry, but public schools are no place for verses from the Bible, the Quran, the Gita or any other religious text, regardless of what pop culture cartoon you glue to it.

It will be so nice to have someone in the White House who actually celebrates Christmas.the way I want it to be celebrated

Fixed that for you

Heres this years card, as posted on Today.com. No Christmas tree. No nativity scene. No Christ child. No Merry Christmas. Just a politically correct joyous holiday season.

I beg your pardon.

 

This is obviously a Christmas card. There's a picture of the Savior right there.

Counterpoint: unless you're studying religion in social studies.

 

The week we spent covering the major religions was probably the most useful week of education I had in 7th grade.

LOL.............thanks for the holiday hilarity ............ :lol:

 

I think that I will refer to you as "Beamon".......instead of "Simon"................much more fitting for those incredible leaps of yours

 

 

 

I posted a link to a story................nothing was "left out"...............

 

but if you wish to play that game............YOU left out the Texas attorney general's response that demonstrates why the poster could be hung..........you weren't trying to be deceptive....were you Beamon ??

 

 

and as to your second reply........the ever popular "fixed it for you".................the less said about your "leap' there the better.. :D

 

 

 

I beg your pardon.

I stand corrected.............

Yeah, that's certainly a given as the difference between education and indoctrination

And thank you as well for yours.

There's few things more amusing than spoiled American Christians crying about persecution. :thumbsup:

Linus is indoctrinating people now? Is he doing that by brute force?

 

Charlie Brown Christmas is a STORY about the meaning of a holiday. At no point does Linus, much less the school district, tell anyone to convert to Christianity.

 

I would guess that most, if not almost all, videos shown in school, could be construed to have religious content in there somewhere. Linus' little speech might be more obvious than most, but who draws the line and where?

 

Should broadcast networks have been banned from showing this and other religious shows because the FCC was in control of the airwaves?

Sometimes it's hard to tell when you're trying to be serious, which I suppose is a credit to you.

This response strikes me as ridiculous enough to assume that you're in character.

Name a commercially available video shown to kids in school. Make it something known. It could be a movie shown to 12th graders or Kinny gardeners. The only Caveat I'll put on it is it can't be a straight educational thing that wasn't shown on TV or in theaters and it can't be March of the Penguins. The last provision is only in there to protect Tom. I could probably find something religious in that.

 

 

 

Edit: My other point is kind of separate. If a school is seen as a government institution and the Federal government is clearly seen as a government institution how is the school allowing a class to view Charlie Brown Christmas different than the FCC allowing CBS to air lo those many years? It is still highly offensive religious content making use of government resources to indoctrinate unwitting victims.
