    The first photo posted is a total photo shop. Mrs Obama was not present when the Spanish princess and Carla Bruni were photographed. The clueless classless post says more about the person who posted it than it does the 3 women in the 2 photographs.

    Good grief. Possibly, maybe, I know it’s a stretch… but could I have been referring to the two First Ladies as privileged people? You know… the two people responsible for the decorations that garnered far more attention than necessary?

    Oh, bless your little heart, sorry these photos upset you.
    I love how you always try to make yourself look so much better than others, and you're not. You always take your little cheap shots or attempt to belittle Indvidual's which says more about you as a person.

    The antidote/antithesis to Fox’s message on the meaning of Christmas is the somewhat modern classic “Some Children See Him”. I’ll post JT’s cover and a story on its origin. This message should be counterprogrammed against the Fox message as a cleansing agent.


    When considering the text of “Some Children See Him,” it is important to remember how few descriptions of the appearance of Jesus we have in the Scriptures. He is a famous rabbi and prophet across the land, and the soldiers need someone to point out who he is. They cannot trust a description to pick him out of a crowd in the Garden of Gethsemane. During the transfiguration, Matthew describes that “his face shone like the sun” (Matthew 17:2, CEB), but otherwise, he goes without description. We know who his parents were and the rough complexion of Jews in Roman Palestine, but not much more. The most prominent description of the Messiah comes from the prophet Isaiah, “He possessed no splendid form for us to see, no desirable appearance” (Isaiah 53:2b, CEB).

    From the days of the early church, Christians all over the world have projected onto Jesus the characteristics of their own individual people. We can see this in images from Ethiopia to Norway to China.

    “Some Children See Him” is not a hymn of history and should not be read or sung as one. In the Gospel of Mark, Jesus says, “I assure you that whoever doesn’t welcome God’s kingdom like a child will never enter it” (Mark 10:15, CEB). The hymn takes this verse seriously and tries to imagine how children view and understand Jesus. In this way, it does not take a leap of imagination to say, “Some children see him lily white,” or “bronzed and brown,” or “almond-eyed,” or “dark as they.” One way of accepting God’s kingdom as a child is to look with the openness of a child, where difference is not primary, but where baby Jesus is just like our own self.

    Wait....so you mak a post attempting to belittle M Obama, and it's a cheap shot because it's photoshopped too. And now you're mad because you got called out and that person is belittling you? I swear, sometimes you just can't make up the irony

    Yeah, I don't get it either. It's pointed out that Kid Rock has ended his boycott of Bud Light and one of our resident conservatives responds with 'oh, yeah, well here's a photoshopped image that pretends Michelle Obama is really a guy!'
    Rightwing media goes apeshit over a new interpretation of the Nutcracker and another poster posts photos, at least one apparently photoshopped, to show that Michelle Obama isn't thin.

    If you have to use photoshopped images, you aren't pointing out facts.

    Nope. Quite the opposite. You’re promulgating falsehoods

    I found the video creepy. If it wasn’t posted on here I wouldn’t know it exists.

    Don’t listen to them. I think you are extremely brave trying to make fun Michelle Obama’s looks. It is especially meaningful as an anonymous poster. You are really fighting the fight on here and I am impressed. We are all proud of you.

    Many people likely care but won’t say anything for fear of being shouted down.
