Twas the Month Before Christmas

I don't know who wrote this, but a friend of mine sent it to me. It is sadly true.


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!

Please, all Christians join together and wish everyone you meet during
the holidays a MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!

Hillary Clinton - Blatant Exclusion of Reagan's Contribution

So.........Hillary Clinton represented the U.S. at the 20th Anniversary celebration of the fall of the Berlin wall. How in the world can you give a speech about the fall of the Berlin wall without even mentioning Ronald Reagan? Is she so stupid that she doesn't know how key his role was? I don't think so.....I think it's just blatant disrespect. Had it been one of the Kennedy's, I'm sure her speech would have been a little bit different.

Ronald Reagan, in my opinion, was the greatest president of my time - probably the greatest EVER. Who can forget his "Tear down this wall" speech? It was so powerful. I watched it again this morning and was so moved by the sincerity and brilliance of Ronald Reagan. I pray that someday, God will give us another president like Ronald Reagan to try to get this country back on track. He forever has my respect.

For anyone who wants to see it, here is a link to a portion of that powerful speech:

Father/Daughter Talk - Democrat vs. Republican

One of my friends sent this to me awhile ago and I thought it was a wonderful analogy demonstrating the difference between a Democrat and Republican.

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs, in other words redistribution of wealth.

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey doing?” She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over.”

Her wise father asked his daughter, “Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.”

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, “That's a crazy idea, and how would that be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!”

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, “Welcome to the Republican party.”

"A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man ... a debt he proposes to pay off with your money."

Victory!

I woke up early this morning and couldn't wait to turn on the morning news to find out who won the New Jersey and Virginia Governor races. Living in Delaware, I have been subjected to numerous television ads for Democrat, John Corzine. It was just beyond me how anyone could vote for him, but the race was extremely close between Corzine and Republican Chris Christie. I was so very thankful to wake up this morning to hear that Republican Christie won! I would hear Corzine's "negative" ads about Christie (well....they were supposed to be negative), but those ads just convinced me that Christie was the right choice. For example, Corzine's ads would disclose the fact that Christie was against a "woman's right to choose". Well... GOOD FOR CHRISTIE! It's about time that Republicans stand up for conservative values. I truly believe that wavering on conservative values and principles is the cause of so many Republican losses in recent elections.

Not only did Christie win, but in Virginia, Republican Robert McDonnell easily defeated Democrat R. Creigh Deeds in the gubernatorial election there. Both New Jersey and Virginia were won by Obama last year in the presidential election. Obama actively campaigned for both democratic candidates for governor, but thankfully, the people didn't fall for it. It goes to show that Obama really had no influence on the election - I think "the anointed one" is losing ground.

As if the wins in New Jersey and Virginia weren't enough, I heard that Maine voters repealed the gay marriage law. Gay marriage has been on the ballot now in 31 states and has been shot down in all 31 states. Obviously, there are a lot of people in this nation who do not fall into the Hollywood glamorizing and promoting "unnatural affection."

Could this be the beginning of a turn for this nation? One can only hope and pray. This is proof that the elections in 2010 are more important than ever. We know that the Lord is always in control. We just pray that He will hear our prayers and let us take back our nation from the liberals who are trying to destroy it.

Update to Yesterday's Zero Tolerance Post

Well....common sense actually prevailed! It seems that after being inundated by over 1000 phones calls, national media attention, and a couple hundred protesters, the Christina School District Board has unanimously voted to change their "Zero Tolerance" policy. First grader Zachary Christie, who was suspended and ordered to go to Reform School for 45 days for bringing his camping utensil to school can return to school today. The rule has now been changed to be a 3-5 day suspension and then "counseling" if someone brings a "weapon" to school.

These people were out of control in this district - what a ridiculous thing it would have been for this little boy to have to go to reform school. Thankfully, he is back in school (I guess that's a good thing....personally, I think he would have been better off to be home schooled, but the family got their wish, so I guess it's OK).

Zero Tolerance

Well, I live in Delaware and was very dismayed to see the Christina School District in Newark, Delaware not only on the local news, but on the national news this morning. It seems that little 6 year old Zachary Christie had just become a cub scout and was very excited about a new camping utensil he had received. It was a "combo" camping utensil that was a spoon, fork, knife combination. In his excitement, he brought it to school and wanted to use it to eat his lunch. This child is a straight A student, never gets in any trouble and even wears a suit to school some days because he takes it so seriously.

So, what happened to him? He got suspended for 45 days and is being sent to REFORM SCHOOL. His mother is instead home schooling him. Personally, I think the child is much better off being home schooled by his mom - she seems to be a level headed, bright individual who has a lot more sense than those idiots in the school system. However, the little boy would like to go back to school and feels that he has been treated unfairly. The family is not arguing that there shouldn't be rules about bringing weapons to school, but that each case be treated individually and look at the "intention" of the child. For example, if a child brings a weapon and is threatening people, or is waving it around, or has been in trouble a lot, then by all means, punish them accordingly. But this child (Zachary) had a camping utensil that he used at home to eat his meals and wanted to do the same at school.

Explain to me how "reform school" could serve any useful purpose in this situation. I am just appalled at the treatment of this little boy. I've already e-mailed the President of the School Board, George Evans (who is standing by the board's suspension) - not that I expect a reply, but I just felt like I had to do something. The district supposedly has a "zero tolerance" policy and is not budging. Ridiculous.

Certainly, the shootings at Columbine and Virginia Tech were tragic, horrible events, but there has to be some common sense kick in at some point. Pray for little Zachary.

Obama - Still Waiting.......

Well.....the troops in Afghanistan are still waiting for Obama to decide whether or not he is going to send more troops over there (the request has been on his desk for how long????) But, Obama is very, very busy - after his trip to Denmark to try to bring the Olympics to the U.S., now, he is now campaigning to bring an end to the "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the military. So, yet another "obamanation" in the making.......

The troops still wait.......
