Merry
Winter

The
secular-left continues the assault on Christmas once again this
season. A number of schools have banned displays that include the
words Christmas and any reference to the Christian theme of the
holiday, students are not allowed to distribute Christmas cards,
plays such as 'A Christmas Carol' have been canceled because they
may insult the sensitivities of certain minority groups and Christmas
vacation is now winter break. Nativity scenes and Christmas decorations
are not allowed on some public property, in one community a resident
petitioned the city council to order the removal of religious figures
displayed on another citizen's private property because they can
be viewed from a public road, employees at the GAP have been told
not address customers with "Merry Christmas" but "Season Greetings"
instead, and the list goes on.
Perhaps the PC, liberal
left is on to something. Christmas has become, for many, just a
huge commercial undertaking. Once the celebration of the Christ
child (ergo: Christ-mas), Christmas has degenerated into
a meaningless rush of material want (Read 'A
Christmas Story' by Ron Peacock). We should abolish the Christmas
holiday and with it, all other holidays that may be problematic
to any special interest groups. Let's begin the elimination.
Holiday
|
Reason
to Eliminate |
New Years |
Based on the Gregorian calendar, instituted by
Pope Gregory XIII, therefore, Christian and is exclusionary
to all other beliefs. |
Martin Luther King Day |
Celebrates the life and struggle
of a black reverend in service of black Americans. Excludes
people of other races, honors a Christian minister and upsets
members of the Aryan Nation and Klu Klux Klan. |
Groundhog Day |
Excludes other species involved with the coming
of spring (Canadian Geese, Monarch Butterflies, Robin's, etc.) |
Presidents Day |
Commemorates a group of 43 all
white, all male heads of state. |
St. Patrick's Day |
Another holiday based on a Christian figure. Forces
consumers to drink green beer, people of all ethnic persuasions
must be Irish for the day. |
Easter |
Pagan in origin, a celebration
of the Vernal Equinox and the spring goddess Eostre, later incorporated
into the Christian religion, by Emperor Constantine, as Jesus'
day of resurrection. Excludes members of different faiths and
atheist. |
Earth Day |
Excludes all other planets in this vast Universe. |
Memorial Day |
Honors those who have died in
defense of our country, excludes draft dodgers, cowards, conscientious
objectors and all others unwilling to serve the nation and preserve
our freedom. |
Flag Day |
Upsets flag burning leftists, lowers the self-esteem
of the unpatriotic, promotes nationalism and undermines liberal
globalism. |
Independence Day |
Lowers the self-esteem of the
unpatriotic, promotes nationalism and undermines liberal globalism.
Also, promotes war as an alternative to peaceful negotiation
and appeasement. |
Veterans Day |
Honors those who have served
in defense of our country, excludes draft dodgers, cowards,
conscientious objectors and all others unwilling to serve the
nation and preserve our freedom. |
Thanksgiving |
Honors white European colonists
whose survival depended upon the goodwill of Native Americans.
In the years following the Thanksgiving feast, the settlers
proceeded to exterminate the indigenous tribes and claim all
their lands. Very upsetting to Native Americans. (Note: The
healing process has begun with recent legalization of reservation
gambling.) |
Kwanzaa |
Not a holiday! Can you say,
"We made it up!"? |
Have a Merry Winter and a Happy Rest
of the Time!
