I saw a great poem today . . .

[teapartysamurai]

Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.
See the PC Police had taken away
The reason for Christmas - no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say
December 25this just a ' Holiday'.
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod
Something was changing, something quite odd!
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe's the word Christmas - was nowhere to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears
You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-is-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.
And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Tree'
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS,
Not Happy Holiday!
Please, all Christians join together and
Wish everyone you meet
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christ is The Reason' for the Christ-mas Season!

You may have seen this poem before as it looks dated in some of it's references, but it's the first time I've seen it. It's just more evidence this war against Christmas has been going on for a long time.

However, it hits home. When I was a kid, we sang religious Christmas Carols in school choir. When my child sang Christmas carols in her school choir, they changed the lyrics of "Ring Christams Bells, Merrily Ring, Tell all the World, Jesus is King," to "Ring Dinner Bell."

Yet, the war has become so entrenched, liberals now want to convince us there is no war.

But there is a reason it's called Christmas (Christ Mass) and not simply, "Holiday."

Liberals tell us Christmas isn't "inclusive." But what could be more inclusive than the Son of God dying for every man, woman and child on Earth and saying "come" and accept the greatest gift that God's love ever conceived.

And that is why it's import to say Merry Christmas.
