Hypocrisy Even Affects Christmas - God Help Us

     I'm sure everyone has heard of the American Civil Liberties Union's attempts to remove "Christmas from the public square". No Christmas nativity scenes on the Town green. No, no, no! It's all about that deal concerning "separation of church and state" which is NOT in the Constitution. The Constitution guarantees us Freedom of Religion, not Freedom from Religion. Anyway, I have been following a local story from Waterbury here in Connecticut. At the Walsh School, the Principal has banned any Christmas celebrations, secular or religious. No Santa Claus, no Christmas trees, etc. They are having a celebration of "Winter", and Frosty the Snowman will be there to give out gifts. How sweet! After following this story for the past couple of weeks, I was driving home from Southbury this morning, when I heard a story about an Oprah special called "Christmas at the White House". What?? We can't celebrate Christmas in schools, but The House of the First Family in Washington is all decked out in it's Christmas finery. Is it just me or is there something seriously wrong with this picture? No Christmas in schools? That is just more of this "politically correct" sewage that most of us are trying to keep our mouth and nose above. When are we going to say "enough"?? It used to be that the majority ruled in this country, now if we have one person complain about something, everybody gets their underwear tied up in a knot, "Oh, my God, we've offended someone, what are we going to do". Tough, if someone is offended, that's too bad. I'm sorry, but you can't satisfy all the people, all the time. It's a physical impossibility, so let's get back to doing what the majority wants.
