Have you seen what this administration has spent on document shredding?? Six times what was spent in 2000. As for the card: It's a yawner; in no way is it offensive. Way too religious for anyone I know, but considering it was paid for by the Republican National Committee, it seems about right. They've lost the fiscal conservatives. They are desperate to hang on the the evangelicals, and this is enough to accomplish that. Amen, TRR.

Ne. 9:6 is not "super-Christian". A Jew could quote it - no problem. It's in the Old Testament. "Super-Christian" would be quoting 2Cor. 5:20 or something like that. As an aside, I went to look up Ne. 9:6 to make sure that "Ne." was the correct abbreviation, but I accidentally went to Ne. 5:6, which I doubt the president would want to quote, considering the lack of fiscal conservatism we've seen in the last 7 years.

If that's what the Bush's want to send, it's their choice. It wouldn't be what I would choose, but everyone has their own idea of what's a nice card. There's no accounting for taste when it comes to greeting cards, that's for sure. I've seen some pretty awful ones. It is much ado about a small thing.

The only cards allowed by the White House should say "Happy non-specific winter holiday and/or solstice" Well, this is OBVIOUSLY just an evil attempt by Bush to force everybody in America to go out and blow up abortion clinics.

What sad, sad little people those posters must be, pouring vitriol and hatred into every word. I think they all should be forced to watch every version of Dicken's Christmas Carol ever produced, maybe then they'll learn a little about kindness and charity. If that doesn't do it, they should have to watch all the Lifetime made-for-tv Christmas :-) I tried reading a few of the latest and earliest of the 650 or so comments on that site.

Based on your quote from Romans, I would take it to be all believers ("sons [plural] of God to be revealed). If so, then the card doesn't make sense. I also don't see the transition from that verse to "all of creation waits to be made new and sinless." BTW, I am a Bible-believing Christian, so I am not doubting or mocking your comments, just trying to follow them. blessings.
