Gene03 0 #1 December 15, 2006 How the "Left" Stole Christmas 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 Tree" Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me. Choose your words carefully, choose what you say Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy Holiday!“The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

jakee 1,596 #3 December 15, 2006 Ok, so its the left wing ultra capitalist mega chain stores that are stealing Christmas? If you're so fucking pussified that what words a high street shop does or does not use to advertise its products at a certain time of year actually affects your belief system then you are welcome to keep whining, but if you want to man up then shut up! Jesus fucking H Christ!Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gene03 0 #4 December 15, 2006 It's just an imaginative variation on a Christmas poem with a little tongue in cheek political commentary thrown in. I knew I was right to put this in Speakers Corner.

If jesus did exist, he wasn't born on the equivilant to december 25th. sheesh, Father xmas has nothing to do with christianity, why not whinge about him?"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, then the world will see peace." - 'Jimi' Hendrix Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
