So this Christmas he is asking people to sponsor the homeless men who frequent his mission.     "Bob, Dave and Al are right here, and they need help, too," Andersen says.    Part holiday gimmick, part jab at Christian priorities, Andersen's sponsorships landed him on local television — and already increased giving to his mission by 36%. Young people in particular like the idea of supporting a local homeless person.     After speaking at a church Andersen offered sponsor packets for men...

And I believe it. I am something of a student of history, a subject that is pretty much ignored by our school system, and when it isn’t, it teaches more historical revisionist lies. The frightening thing about it is that our schools, our leaders, and especially our media, repeat flat out bald-faced lies as often as they can. And we believe them. God help us all, but we believe those lies so easily at times.
