MERRY CHRISTMAS  from Claudia Lee

Pick your holiday link. Whichever you celebrate, may your days be filled with joy.

By me offering a Happy Holidays to all, I don't want anyone to think that I am undermining my own spiritual celebration. Above all else, for me, the time is meant for the holiday that this country was based upon, and that is Christianity. I respect and acknowledge that others celebrate their own spiritual enlightenment and peace.

Recently I was sent this You Tube video and I want to share it with all as I found it, the words to the song, a great expression for all Christians in my country, the USA. CHRISTMAS WITH A CAPITAL C

I am impressed with the young men doing this video and it says it all for Christians and Christmas.

I've read that our current leader plans on not calling our traditional Christmas tree that is put up at the White House every year a Christmas tree, but wants to rename it a Holiday Tree. I say BOO! Shame on you, Mr. So Called President! If you want a Holiday Tree, then put one up at another site, but leave our tradition that has been a part of our people when this country was established by Christians and the accepted religion being Christianity should not be altered. It does not mean we as Christians do not respect others rights to celebrate their own holidays, but stop trying to change our country from what we are to something we are not. Give recognition (as I do on my site) to others with respect, but don't take away OUR dignity and rights to announce proudly who we are. You claim to be a Christian yourself, so show it...don't blow it! If you are going to change things and make this country be a push over for changes...then give it back to the original nations that it was snatched away from. You want a second language printed on all instructions when there are hundreds of other languages spoken here? You want to recognize just one race because they refuse to learn the American language properly, then you are being unfair to the rest of the non-American speaking peoples. Now you want to recognize our time...Christmas time...as an over-all holiday celebration? I say let's gather together the American Indians and give them a prominent voice in government, speak their languages and clelebrate their Creator. Can't decide which tribal nation should rule? Then divide up the country according to where they were herded like cattle and let them rule each section of the country as they see fit. Change the name of our Christmas tree to a Holiday tree? Let's call it the Thank You tree and place memorials to the fallen Natives that were strampled in order to form our "more perfect government" and show some kind or real remorse and understanding, not hand over our long standing traditions to new comers who are intent on changing this country. The idea of accepting your tired, your poor, the ones who needed safety was to offer you to "become" an American, not America become other countries.

Yes, you read the address of this site right...rant...and this is my rant this year. I am sick that the country was a stolen land, but we can't change that, but we don't have to change the facts that it was established by English speaking people, who established English as the language of the country and Christianity as the religion, with respect and acceptance of other religions to be privately celebrated by non-Christians. Freedom of religion does not mean you are free to nudge out the already established religion in place. Freedom of speech does not mean you are free to change the established language, which has developed over the years into American a form of what I term slanguage of English. Freedom language means you are free to speak your mind, not have to mind your speech. I think our own government has created these problems by giving imigrants tax breaks for businesses that they won't even give to a natural born American. They have given new comers all of the breaks a natural born citizen has to struggle to even be considered to get. They not only put out the welcome matt, but they have now also put the "walk all over us" sign up as open for business. America the brave has now put a big hole in its own midst for the terrorists to not only take over our country financially, but to secretively work themselves into our lives so that the American dream has become a nightmare.

GOD BLESS AMERICA

PS~ I don't PMS, so don't consider this a woman's hormonal rage, it is far greater than that...it is a natural born American's rage. My first European ancestors arrived here in the early 1600s, while my favorite lineage greeted them with peace in their hearts and the gift of survival in a rugged and pristine land. Use the example of how the land was stolen from them to understand what is happening to our country today.

Oh, and logic is out the door anymore. In Dearborn, Michigan, the largest settlement in the USA of Arabic peoples, they are or may have already done it, made the city stop putting out the traditional manger scene that has graced the lawn of the city court house for generations, yet in a nearby city we have to put up with the call to prayer every hour from a tower for the Muslims, and we have been banned from the ringing of church bells. Go figure. If you think we are not being overtaken, think again. We are forced to use spanish as a second language on instructions and signs in stores, and I'm waiting now for the Arabic language to be posted as well. I hope the others, Germans, Italians, Chinese, Japanese, and so on and so on who are Americans as well, start a campaign to insist they be so placated as well. Our instruction booklets for simple things, as putting together your child's bike you just bought them for Christmas will be the size of a big city phone book.

Sigh...

Happy Hanukkah

Happy Kwanzaa

MERRY CHRISTMAS
