Well, I'm just lookin at some post debate analysis, and the fact checkers are indeed ripping up the claims. Apparently, Chris Christie sees dead people, chilling with King Hussein.

Fact checkers rip up every debate, Democrat and Republican. I kinda wish that we had people running for president that actually knew what they were talking about, but this is what we get every four years.

Why Christmas songs and not Hindu and Budhist mantra chanting?
Welcome back to the false equivalence show, everybody! Today we have Maldini pretending that Hindu and Buddhist schoolchildren are upset that we sing Frosty the Snowman in the winter instead of chanting mantras. It's simply equivalence. You can insert any religion into the same situation and it would be argued that it has no place in schools. Christianity gets a pass though apparently because songs about lil Jesus are perfectly benign and nothing to see here non-believers, move along.

We could just ban all music.
It worked for the middle-east, right?

He said Christmas songs, he didn't say religious Christmas songs. Don't worry about replying though, I can insert the broken record you guys are all playing and cover your next response just fine.

What a strange distinction you tried to make, considering the context of the discussion, of Christmas songs vs religious Christmas songs. Even stranger that you seem to think Frosty the Snowman is a Christmas song.

From what I have seen on TV news sources (I know...lolTVnews) there are al qaeda controlled areas that do not allow public singing or dancing.

I think you're referring to those iranian guys who were arrested for making a "Happy"(Farrel) video?

Even stranger that you seem to think Frosty the Snowman is a Christmas song. Ravael, you of all people should know that Frosty the Snowman, which is only sung during the Christmas Holidays, is really a song about Easter.
For shame!

Hamas leaders son and ex head of an Islamic focused youth education group risks his life telling his views.
I'm exactly in agreement with his view that there's a difference needed to be recongnized when debating its teachings, it's nothing against the people. Also listen as he points out, Islam is political. Which is what I've tried to explain. Hopefully coming from him adds more weight.its a conversion with a lot of punch. YouTube Video Placeholder

Clearly you aren't familiar with the plight of American youth in the 1980s, or you'd know we had this problem as well. Luckily Kevin Bacon danced for our sins.

Seriously. How crazy of me to think that a song that's sung before Christmas, on Christmas, never after Christmas, and appears on many lists of "classic Christmas songs" could possibly be considered a Christmas song. Wowee, those guys sure got me this time.

About as crazy as making the distinction between songs that are sung with religious context as being religious songs and songs that are sung with holiday spirit as being non-religious songs.

White Christmas is secretly a racist song.

From what I have seen on TV news sources (I know...lolTVnews) there are al qaeda controlled areas that do not allow public singing or dancing.
I'm sure there's a bar or two I could walk into in the US and be denied service for being Muslim and Arab looking.
Does that mean Muslims and Arabs aren't allowed into the US?
oh wait... never mind, forgot about Trump.

Or are you making assumptions yet again?

America America?
Liberal America?
Rural America?
KKK America?
Hippie America?
You gotta be specific about which America. It's the difference between being raped by Mexicans and liberal dildotopia.

Have we talk about how the "vetting" process for immigrants doesn't even include looking at what people post on social media because it violates a cornerstone of political correctness?
Do you have an actual reason why it doesn't include that or are you just going to keep making these stupid statements ad nasium?
Ah Jassik, forever extending the commander in chief the benefit of the doubt. There's no shortage of people who will pee on your leg and tell you it's raining, have some self respect and at least call them on it.

Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.

Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
