Merry Winter

Wooster, Ohio (PN)

united nations flag    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!
