Today is Christmas Eve! Merry Christmas to the 80% of all of the people in the United States. OOPS SORRY anyone else if I have stepped on your civil rights by wishing a MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone out loud!
What has become of this country when the MINORITY is in control of everything we do? Some idiot atheist group in Wisconsin has attempted to make a small town in another state remove a Nativity scene from the town property because it somehow affected them! REALLY?
My grandsons elementary school Principal ordered the teachers to refrain from saying Merry Christmas to the Students. No stars were to be on the top of any decorated trees as they cannot be referred to as Christmas trees. No pictures of Santa and no Santa hats were to be seen on a teacher or student's head. During the school assembly where the children usually sang Christmas Carols this year they sang two Christmas songs, All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth and The Twelve Days of Christmas, the remaining songs were just fun kid songs. The Principal spoke to the children about their "vacation" break, she caught herself, and corrected herself, after accidentally saying she wished them all a Merry Christmas, quickly recovering with a wish for a happy healthy vacation break! This is apparently difficult for her also.
I for one am really concerned about what this is telling our children. While we teach them about Christ and our Lord we have our government making the whole idea of Christ a crime to speak about openly. The schools are allowed to teach our kids about most other religions, but not allowed to mention the Christian religions in their courses. They gloss over the history that Christianity had in shaping this country. A very little is mentioned other than the Salem Witch trials, and of course, required reading of the Scarlet letter. Both stories show Christianity in it's extremes. The children are not taught that our Fore Fathers believed that their religious beliefs were SO important that they made sure that the government would be prevented from FORMING a religion, as was done in England. In England the country removed all other religions and created the Church of England. No others were tolerated. The constitution protects us from that and that only. There is no such thing as the separation of Church and State. The Constitution only states that the government is prohibited from FORMING a religion.
I for one am sick and tired of tiptoeing around the Happy Holidays. I will say Merry Christmas to everyone and if it offends them then perhaps they should learn to tolerate our beliefs as we have to tolerate theirs. Why are 80% of the people of this country being rolled over by a very small minority of people? Of the twenty % that is left over there is an even smaller percent that really voice an opinion. Should a tiny group of atheists or other religion have that much power? I don't think so and I think that the rest of us should start to get verbal about our beliefs. Stand up and put the star on the tree! Wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Contact your gov officials and complain about the loss of our rights. Tell them WE, the 80% have FREEDOM OF religion, NOT FREEDOM FROM religion! IT'S TIME THEY GET THE GONADS TO STAND UP FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY!!
I'm afraid that the way this is all going we will one day be hiding in our basements trying to explain to our great grandkids that there was a time when we celebrated something called Christmas, but shhhhh don't tell anyone.
