Just read the article on Christmas -- it's about time for people to stand and say "Enough!"

I get so tired of all the "political correctness" that is just another way to say "out with God."

p>Really, what do I care if some foreigners feelings are hurt because I believe in God and Christmas? I don't go to their country and expect them to change because I don't believe as they believe and I expect the same from them. br> -- Betty Wiggins /p>

I would like to commend S. T. Karnick for the article, "Muscular Christians." The article was not only so very timely but absolutely spot on in its analysis of the problem and suggested remedy. Perhaps that is why I have a terrible urge to call the author Karnack à la Johnny Carson.

The whole trouble, as I see it, is that there is not a majority of voters willing to actually hold the left-wing secularist regressives accountable. Can anyone cite for me any college or university president removed because of the sprint to the left by academia. How can the entire education establishment, from kindergarten to post-grad college level, even in the entire education establishment, from kindergarten to post-grad college level, even in the reddest of red states, continue to maintain their little fiefdoms in their arrogant, semi-Marxist, elitist fashion without the least bit of real reform or accountability to the voters. Can anyone cite a single centrist or right leaning Governor that has demanded the resignation of a state university president or actually cut the university's budget until specific reforms are accomplished. Can anyone point to any academic institution that has an affirmative action program to hire and promote conservative professors and staff until the balance reflects the ration in the state populace as a whole.

How often have we seen Congress actually hold the Judiciary accountable for their coup against the Legislative and Executive branches AND their absolute denial of the voters rights of initiative in the electoral process. Even in the states where judges must run electorally to keep their office, the judges are rarely thrown out on their ears.

p>I just don't see "The People" standing up and forcing the elite to mend their arrogant ways. I wish I did. It is fine to go to the polls and elect centrist and right leaning politicians, but then none of the pols actually do anything substantive to reign in the arrogant left bureaucracy which simply goes on forever, undisturbed. br> -- Ken Shreve br> From a camouflaged bunker deep behind enemy lines in the New Hampshire Department of the Peoples Republic of New England /p>
