The Spiritual Messages of Chanukah and Christmas -- and Their Downsides
Christmas and Chanukah share a spiritual message: that it is possible to bring light and hope in a world of darkness, oppression and despair.

Obama (and Biden) Have No Clue About What's Bothering Their Political Base

Values or Partisanship? TV Ad calls out Graham for caving on climate

Yes the real work begins. The work of healing, which the Far Right will fight. The building up of trust and integrity, which we have not seen for years. The work of working together in our communities for the betterment of our fellows, which has been lacking in most areas.
Now is the time of coming together and remembering that we are Americans first and individuals second. I time to pray together, work together and hope together.
And the burden is a blessing because we live in a country that has no fear, no doubt and no qualms. We will overcome our differences or we will fail. God blesses all who work for the betterment of others.
Hand in hand we will proceed. Now is the time to turn toward each other in kindness lest we continue down the path of malice and injustice.

It was a historical moment in America seeing Obama win the Presidency. However, for me as a believer of fundamental basis and moral issues, it was a sad moment. He’s so liberal and far based on the word of God. People wanted a change, of course there’ll be a change, but for the better? People voted for what he stands for, racial issues, more money for your pocket, immigrant issues etc. I voted for the righteous, not for the one who promised support to abortion issues, gay marriage and talks with countries who despises us. Well, you asked for it, don’t be crying later asking God for help when things start to develop against your own expectations. I still say: God Bless America, God Bless us all!
