howard thurman. ron and i were fortunate enough many moons ago to have a class by dr. thurman. an amazing african american pastor who could write. these are some things for you to consider when trying the true meaning of christmas. you won't forget to go to church on christmas eve of course. but here's a short poem. at christmas time, the tide flows out from the inner sea. at christmas time they find their way to many shores with gifts of remembrances, thoughts of love, though the world be weary and the days afraid, the heart renews its life and mind takes hope from the tides that flow from the inner sea at christmas time. thurman talking about advent as a time of preparation. and the person to begin with is you. and so that is the important thing. christmas returns as it always does with the assurance that life is good. it's a time to lift to the spirit. when the mind feels its way into the common place and senses the wonder of simple things. evergreen tree. familiar carols. it's a time of alum nation when candles burn and old dreams find their youth again. it's a time of paus

when he ran for congress, he beat both former senator strom thurman's son and former senator carol campbell's son. he is the real deal. he was supported by the tea party movement. he is a solid conservative and a very honorable person. i find it sad that people on the left are so threatened to have a conservative african-american member of the senate that they would say despicable things about him. i know him personally. he's going to be a great u.s. senator. he's a great pick and i am very proud of haleigh cummings -- of nikki haley for picking him. i wanted to get that out before i started about the current mess in washington which i am frankly puzzled by. congress, the legislative branch, has five tools -- proceedingses, oversight, legislation, communication by all of its members and negotiation. negotiation's the weakest of the five tools. i frankly wish the house republicans would go home, relax, they voted to stop a middle-class tax increase f. harry reid wanted to stop it in the senate, that's fine. the president wants to veto it, that's fine. this is not a crisis that will end the rep

professor robert thurman is unhappy about the congress critters signing the pledge to grover norquistg norquist's pledge a treassonnous oath. they will not raise taxes of any kind on anyone and therefore they have taken an oath to an outside organization not supported by the constitution. this is a non-governmental organization, not elected by anybody, and supported by big-money people. and these people have signed a sworn oath that contradicts their oath of office. they are not sincerely taking their oath of office. >> they should all be thrown out. >> and if they persist in that and held to that by this outside person they are breaking their oath of office and not serving what they swore to serve the american people. he points out the whole drowning the government in the bathtub. people are suggesting demolishing the government are anarchists. they are starving the beast by saying those who signed the pledge are unfit by office.
