Salon: ‘Would Anyone Truly Mourn’ Christmas ‘If We Did Without It?'

With Christmas three days away, one liberal atheist took to the far-left website Salon to dismiss the existence of a “war on Christmas” spotlighted annually by conservatives and news pundits, led by the Fox News Channel’s (FNC) Bill O’Reilly.

Bill Kristol Slams Howard Dean for Insisting GOP Has to Help Obama

Seven weeks since their seismic losses in the midterm elections, liberals continue mouthing their moronic mantra that the results were a mandate for Republicans to "get things done" with President Obama.

WashPost Coos on Colbert: 'Consummate Showman' Made 'Zeitgeist Gold'

Washington Post TV writer Hank Stuever didn’t refrain from the goo over the end of Stephen Colbert’s tenure at Comedy Central. His "Critic's Notebook" might have been too soaked with tears to be legible, but it made it into print.
