This may shed some light on the subject of understanding what Liberalism means to our country.
Who's Afraid of Christmas?
The Christmas Deconstruction Alliance just does not get it. They are dumbfounded as they have not been able to secularize Christmas. They throw tantrums becasue of the tenacity with which the vast majority of us hold onto our Christian beleifs and traditions. They do not understand why the United States does not roll over, accept the abolition of Christmas, close down our churches, and remove the crosses from our cemeteries.
They have failed in their attacks on Christmas, as they have not even convinced most of their liberal following. A recent poll indicated 89% of Americans want religion "included in public holiday celebrations."
The liberal elite think their superior wisdom, and their control of education and the media, should convince us to become a bunch of pagans. they fantasize we will give up our guns, values, morals, and the Constitution. They romanticize we will embrace socialized medecine, tolerate failing schools, and become mindless socialist whimps eager to be euthanized before becoming a burden on society.
Why do fringe Liberals, Muslim terrorists, European socialists, and communists all hate Christianity? What is the common thread that joins them? They desire to control others, and they despise the fact that christianity promotes freedom based on personal responsibility. One can't have Christianity directing people's lives. The autocrats will direct our lives.
They especially hate Christmas as it is the most visible manifestation of Christianity and is celebrated by more people than any other holiday. The fact that Christ and Christmas are still so feared and hated can mean only one thing; Christ really was who He said He was.
The argument of hurting someon'e feelings or making them feel uncomfortable by celebrating Christmas is one of the most powerful liberal weapons used agianst Christmas. They put the feelings of the few above the many, and that is not democracy. Their actions are hypocritical, as liberals demand our tolerance of all their abominable behavior.
The politically correct insist we should value everyone's culture. As Christianity is the majority culture in our country, should it not also be valued?? Are we observing an overdose of progressive hypocrisy? Just how long are we going to endure the liberal intolerance of our values?
Nowhere does a "wall of seperation of church and state" appear in our Constitution. Most people simply do not know this as they have heard assertions of its existence for so long. We can only hope that in the near future our Supreme Court will enforce our Constitution and cease to reinterpret it as a legislative tool.
In typical liberal fashion, the Christmas Deconstruction Alliance attacks the most vulnerable of our society, our small towns and villages, and our schools. They cannot afford the time and money to fight the legal challenges. There are also those among them who support the leftists attack on Christianity.
If the left's ideas were honestly stated, the left would become an endangered species.
We can't have self-reliance, as people are too stupid to take care of themselves and take responsibility for their own actions, especially conservatives.
We can't have hard work and financial success. Israel and the Uniteed States have strong economies that must be damaged or at least economically disabled by the Kyoto Treaty.
We can't have joy since the liberals and terrorists are always angry about something.
We certainly can't have giving and charity; that is the job of governement. Only government bureaucrats are smart enough to dispense our money. what business does the Salvation Army have collecting money and giving it to the poor? That won't get any votes.
We can't have patriotism either. We might offend our enemies. we also shouldn't defend ourselves as we might insult some thugs and dictators.
We certainly can't have cohesive families. Families take care of each other and greatly reduce the need for government to step in and pretend to take care of people.
We definitely can't acknowledge we are a God-fearing nation who's Consitution is based on The Ten Commandments. Why that's in direct opposition to moral and legal relativism (depravity).
If we allow Chritmas to be taken from our public life and our educational system, if we allow our Consitution to be turned against us, if we fail to be a light of liberty unto the World, we will also deny freedom to a desperate World that will slip further into darkness. Just like the War on Teror, the battle for Christmas will be long and difficult.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good fight!
