    Wow. I knew you couldn't smoke a joint there, but I didn't know there were laws against saying Merry Christmas.

    He forgot to outlaw Sharia law too.

    However, all this religious rumbling won't change the Constitution.. So, there will be NO Christmas play at PS 24 in Podunk, Tx.

    I thought right wingers LOVED the Constitution. No, huh?

    Sharia is already outlawed, no?

    The Constitution takes care of that. We have our OWN system of laws.

    But, I didn't know saying Merry Christmas was. Do you have a link? Or was Perry grandstanding?

    I think that was the point, the constitution protects a right to say Merry Christmas, but that doesn't stop fools from trying to ban it.

    It removes legal risks of saying "Merry Christmas" in schools while also protecting traditional holiday symbols, such as a menorah or nativity scene, so long as more than one religion and a secular symbol are also reflected.

    Perry is always grandstanding though. The courts already upheld in Texas the freedom of speech by students.

    Yes Gov. Goodhair is a lot like Obama in that regard, but it wasn't his bill - it was a bipartisan effort, FYI.

    Yes cut corporate tax to the bone and watch them run to you but it won't help employment unless you cut wages to the bone too, oh I forgot you already did that, how's that working out for you

    Oh yes I expected you would try to spin it, but cheap labour is just slavery by any name. What do the hispanics flock to Teexxaass if not to take the low paid jobs americans won't do. I expect it beats doing the same thing back home in Mexico, no drug cartels at least none that are obvious

    You guys are clueless. Those Hispanics are my neighbors and they're entrepreneurs, they know how to take advsntage if opportunity.

    They reap what they sow. Leave it to libs to pout when people reject their schemes and move to more opportunistic confines.

    Oh get off it, the great migration for jobs and opportunities has been going on since we became a nation. This is no different as the rust belt factories have been closing over the last few decades.

    Where did you think those folks would go?
