    Merry Xmas

    Just yesterday (honest, I kid you not, cross my heart and hope to die) I was thinking it's about time for the annual Christmas whine to be opened and today I had my first taste. Oh well, I guess it is the season for fruitcakes.

    Twas the month before Christmas*


    *When all through our land,*


    *Not a Christian was praying*


    *Nor taking a stand.*


    *See the PC Police had taken away,*


    *The reason for Christmas - no one could say.*


    *The children were told by their schools not to sing,*


    *About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.*


    *It might hurt people's feelings, the teachers would say*


    * December 25th is just a ' Holiday '.*


    *Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit*


    *Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!*


    *CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-pod*


    *Something was changing, something quite odd! *


    *Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa*


    *In hopes to sell books by Franken & Fonda.*


    *As Targets were hanging their trees upside down*


    * At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where to be found.*


    *At K-Mart and Staples and Penny's and Sears*


    *You won't hear the word Christmas; it won't touch your ears.*


    *Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-si-ty*


    *Are words that were used to intimidate me.*


    *Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen*


    *On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton!*


    *At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter*


    *To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.*


    *And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith*


    * Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace*


    *The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded*


    *The reason for the season, stopped before it started.*


    *So as you celebrate 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream Treee'*


    *Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.*


    *Choose your words carefully, choose what you say*


    *Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday !*

    Fanatics have to have an "us" vs. "them" in order to drum up outrage. I pity people who are always pissed off all the time.

      They make a pill for that now.
      Keep calm, persistence beats resistance.

            Nothing to see here, folks. Move along.
            The spread of secondary and latterly of tertiary education has created a large population of people, often with well-developed literary and scholarly tastes, who have been educated far beyond their capacity to undertake analytical thought.
