I never thought I’d live to see the day that Christmas would become a dirty word.
You think it hasn’t? Then why is it that people are being prevented from saying it in
polite society for fear that it will offend?
Schools are being forced to replace “Christmas vacation” with “winter break” in
their printed schedules. At some major retail chains, the word is verboten, replaced as a
matter of policy by the generic Happy Holidays. Carols, even instrumental versions, are
banned in certain locales. A major postal delivery service has not only made their drivers
doff their Santa caps, but ordered them not to decorate their trucks with Christmas
wreaths.
How is it, one well might ask, that in a Christian nation this is happening? And in
case you find that designation objectionable, would you deny that India is a Hindu
country, that Turkey is Muslim, that Poland is Catholic? That doesn’t mean those
nations are theocracies. But when the overwhelming majority of a country’s population
is of one religion, and most Americans happen to be one sort of Christian or another, only
a darn fool would deny the obvious.
Although it seems a long time ago, it really wasn’t, that people who came here
from other places made every attempt to fit in. Assimilation wasn’t a threat to anyone; it
was what the Statue of Liberty represented. E pluribus unum, one out of many, was our
motto. The world’s melting pot was our nickname. It didn’t mean that any group of
people had to check their customs, culture or cuisine, at the door. It did mean that they,
and especially their children, learned English, and that they learned to live and let live.
That has changed, as you may have noticed. And I blame my fellow Jews. When
it comes to pushing the multicultural, anti-Christian, agenda, you find Jewish judges,
Jewish journalists, and the ACLU, at the forefront.
Being Jewish, I should report, Christmas was never celebrated by my family. But
what was there not to like about the holiday? To begin with, it provided a welcome two
week break from school. The decorated trees were nice, the lights were beautiful, “It’s a
Wonderful Life” was a great movie, and some of the best Christmas songs were even
written by Jews.
But the dirty little secret in America is that, in spite of the occasional over-
publicized rants by the likes of Mel Gibson and Michael Richards anti-Semitism is no
longer a problem in society; it’s been replaced by a rampant anti-Christianity. For
example, much of the hatred spewed towards George W. Bush has far less to do with his
policies than it does with his religion. The Jews voice no concern when a Bill Clinton or
a John Kerry makes a big production out of showing up at black Baptist churches or
posing with Rev. Jesse Jackson because they understand that’s just politics. They only
object to politicians attending church for religious reasons.
My fellow Jews, who often have the survival of Israel heading the list of their
concerns when it comes to electing a president, only gave 26% of their vote to Bush, even
though he is clearly one of the most pro-Israel presidents we’ve ever had in the Oval
Office. Unlike Clinton, who had Yasser Arafat sleeping in the Lincoln Bedroom so often
Even Monica Lewinsky got jealous, Bush saw to it that the Palestinian butcher was
persona non grata at the White House.
It is the ACLU, which is overwhelmingly Jewish in terms of membership and
funding, that is leading the attack against Christianity in America. It is they who have
conned far too many people into believing that the phrase “separation of church and
state” actually exists somewhere in the Constitution.
You may have noticed, though, that the ACLU is highly selective when it comes
to religious intolerance. The same group of self-righteous shysters who, at the drop of a
“Merry Christmas” will slap you with an injunction, will fight for the right of an
American Indian to ingest peyote and a devout Islamic woman to be veiled on her
driver’s license.
I happen to despise bullies and bigots. I hate them when they represent the
majority, but no less when, like Jews in America, they represent an infinitesimal
minority.
I am getting the idea that too many Jews won’t be happy until they pull off their
own version of the Spanish Inquisition, forcing Christians to either deny their faith and
convert to agnosticism or suffer the consequences.
I should point out that many of these people abhor Judaism every bit as much as
they do Christianity. They’re the ones who behave as if atheism were a calling. They’re
the nutcakes who go berserk if anyone even says, “In God we trust” or mentions that the
Declaration of Independence refers to a Creator with a capital “C.” By this time, I’m
only surprised that they haven’t begun a campaign to do away with Sunday as a day of
rest. After all, it’s only for religious reasons – Christian reasons – that Sunday, and not
Tuesday or Wednesday, is so designated.
This is a Christian nation, my friends. And all of us are fortunate it is one, and
that so many millions of Americans have seen fit to live up to the highest precepts of
their religion. It should never be forgotten that, in the main, it was Christian soldiers who
fought and died to defeat Nazi Germany and who liberated the concentration camps.
Speaking as a member of a minority group – and one of the smaller ones at that –
I say it behooves those of us who don’t accept Jesus Christ as our savior to show some
gratitude to those who do, and to start respecting the values and traditions of the
overwhelming majority of our fellow citizens, just as we keep insisting that they respect
ours.
Merry Christmas, my friends.
