Liberal Lip Service? part 2

In a post made yesterday, 12-12-07, I referenced an apparent turn- about in official government sentiment towards religion and Christmas.

"Sorry, but you are hearing this from a skeptic. One who has seen socialists scrambling to cling to their footholds before. Socialists trying to placate the masses with some 'positive strokes' from their puppets."

My point about lip service is that politicians, particularly liberal politicians, have a funny way of pretending to agree with you right before an election. They tend to say what people want to hear. They make token gestures to pacify the public. To distract them, so to speak.

The current salve is religion and the Christmas season.
(THIS should keep them quiet!)

Skeptic? You bet I am.
In the recent past, the balm-of-the-day has been
- gun control/ Second Amendment issues: (John Kerry "crawling on his belly with his trusty shotgun, looking for deer?")
- support for the war on terror: (who could be the most forceful on the issue?)
- immigration reform: (which of them could run in place fastest without ever getting anything done?)

I just say this as a reminder. Don't be so quick to think liberals have suddenly gone melancholy. Their socialist agenda remains firmly in place.
