MY TRUE CHRISTMAS

I am not in the least bit surprised to see that the liberal left has launched an all out attack on Christmas on so many fronts. What does surprise me is the length to which these unprincipled myopic purveyors of lies are willing to go to extend their sphere of influence. I don’t know what infuriates me more: The complete lack of intestinal fortitude by Washington’s Governor Gregoire in allowing atheists to post their hateful sign next to a display of the Nativity? Or possibly another dispirited, gutless sham perpetrated against our children at this most precious time of the year by politically correct wankers is the publishing of such books as “Santa Goes Green” and “When Santa Turned Green”. Christmas is a time of joy and wonderment for children and they should be allowed to revel in the spirit of the season. Taking advantage of this sacred season is inexcusable and shows how absolutely unprincipled these vacuous malcontents really are. Here are just a few comments from the deranged, nonsensical green leftists about these books:

"When Santa Turned Green," by Victoria Perla, says that global warming is causing the North Pole itself to melt, potentially leaving Santa homeless.

"Melting ice caps, global warming, surfing reindeer! The North Pole is going green this year and everyone is excited – everyone, that is, except Santa who likes things just the way they are," publisher Hal Leonard's product description says.

While Santa finds going green "inconvenient," the reindeer and Mrs. Claus sing to change his ways.

Song titles include: "Recycle the Fruitcake," "The Greenhouse Effect" and "Turn Off the Pump (And Plug in the Sleigh.)"

“You see, it’s like this Santa,” Finn tells Santa in the book. “I’ve adopted a polar bear named Leopold. He is in danger of losing his home. I’m sure you being in the North Pole you know about the melting glaciers. All I want this year Santa, is to save Leopold and his home.” Santa is so inspired by his visit to the polar bear that he decides to re-use last year's wrapping paper, recycle toys and start using wind to generate power for his toy shop. The book ends with a note from Santa urging kids to send him notes on how to take care of the planet.

I am not here to debate global warming (yet). I will however say this: It is a hoax and no amount of junk science can make it so. The earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old and “accurate” accounts of weather activity are a mere speck on the pages of history. Recorded temperatures date back only 100 years. Yet the global warming community, with their special sense of self importance and predisposition for symbolism over substance has taken it upon themselves to sound the GW alarm. This is sophistry of the highest order. Not only will this false salvation bankrupt the planet and decimate the free market in the process, it will have absolutely no effect on the climate whatsoever. The facts speak for themselves. Global warming god, Al Gore, REFUSES to debate the issue with anyone. Check it out folks, all he does is pontificate about the dangers of GW but refuses to debate the issue in an open forum. It is complete junk science from the fecal clouded mind of disingenuous fringe leftists.

Although I digress momentarily, let me get to the point. I have always found Christmas to be the most special of holidays. It was so in my childhood and remains so for me now. As I get older I find myself becoming so much more aware of my own spirituality in relationship to Christmas. As a child I was more connected with the Santa Claus side of Christmas. Although I have always been conscious of the true meaning of Christmas, it is only within the last decade that I have found the spirituality that truly is Christmas. To rejoice in the fact I have accepted Jesus Christ as my true savior is a wonderful thing. To celebrate his birth on this day is what makes this holiday so very special. I realize that not everyone feels this way and that is absolutely acceptable. But to turn this time of year into a forum expressly aimed at brainwashing our children is reprehensible.

This is America and we as Americans are not expected to embrace any and all ideologies. But when a group of people, specifically the secular progressives, vigorously promote the idea that they find it offensive when I or anyone else celebrates Christmas, is an abomination. Clerks in almost every retail establishment are now discouraged from saying Merry Christmas. Businesses of all types and sizes are afraid to send out Christmas cards and invariably substitute Happy Holiday cards instead. A small percentage of the American people has lost their moral compass and in turn has been given carte blanche by the liberal politicians to in essence, “spread the word”. In other words, to create and support a politically correct agenda that no longer recognizes Christmas. Face it, if you do not adhere to politically correct dogma you are looked upon as something less than a good person by supporters of the far left. This wonderful celebration that we call Christmas is rapidly becoming extinct in all forms. Thought, word and deed.

This movement frightens me because it has taken on a life of its own. It has gotten to the point where people are afraid to speak up for fear of being socially castrated and categorized with such names as racist, bigot, homophobe, Christian or less flattering labels. It is inherent to the welfare of our society and the preservation of the ideals that made this country great to speak out against such injustices. “All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing” (Edmund Burke).

I want to take this opportunity to wish each and everyone a very Merry Christmas and I hope that each of you reach out and seek God’s love at this special time of year. It is really quite easy and only requires that you accept Jesus Christ as your savior. God gave us his only son to die on the cross so that we may have eternal life. I look forward to celebrating an eternity of Christmases with all of you. God bless.

BUSINESS AS USUAL!!

I am so distraught that the country I love is languishing in a cesspool created and controlled by greedy politicians who are ethically and morally devoid of character. The supporting cast in this horror show is a corrupt corporate juggernaut that never met a dollar they didn’t worship. We rely on our representatives to be our eyes and ears in Washington and the majority of these secular progressives, both Democrats and Republicans alike have turned their backs on their constituency and aligned themselves with an ideology that is neither fair nor balanced.

Our politicians have become so myopic and devoid of character that the needs and wants of the people have been left behind. Look no further than those responsible who navigated the ship of state onto the shoals of bankruptcy. The F & F (Freddie and Fannie) debacle was basically overseen by Chris Dodd and Barney Frank. This in itself is a mega blunder, but to put these two shameful and morally corrupt dunderheads in charge of the bailout is unforgivable. I realize that there are many more people involved in this debacle than just these two. There is plenty of blame to go around for both sides and a multitude of prior administrations but the fact remains that these arrogant, egomaniacal thugs have no moral compass and are completely devoid of a conscience. They have shown this time and time again, yet there they sit, judge and jury with the authority to do as they see fit with our tax dollars.

When the chips were down and the financial future of America was at stake, our government chose the well traveled road of appeasement and acquiescence. They passed a 700 billion dollar bailout to rescue the very companies that hijacked our financial prosperity. To add insult to injury these low life keepers of democracy attached a 150 billion dollars in “PORK” to the bill. We ask; when will these people ever learn? Wake up America because they have learned. The fact is they have learned that they can legislate without repercussions and make self serving decisions with no personal political down side. I see no end to this disgusting behavior and it is now absolutely apparent that we have lost total control of our government from the local level up to and including the federal level. We have created a monster from which there is no rescue. Too many Americans are busy trying to provide the basic necessities for their families and do not see what has happened to their country. The politicians continue to spend in perpetuity as they mortge our future and our children’s future.

Regardless of our financial problems the politicians continue to find new ways of taxing us into poverty. Look no further than New York’s Governor David Paterson who has just released his list of 150 new taxes/fees that he wants to impose on New Yorkers. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is also proposing the same back breaking tax and fee structure. These heartless, brain dead demigods continue to spend more than they have and as a matter of routine expect us to pick up the bill. It has been so for many years and continues to be the norm. They are so firmly ensconced I see no way of getting rid of them. It may take another revolution and that is a sad legacy indeed. GOD BLESS AMERICA.
