In attempt to not offend, VA hospital succeeds in offending just about everyone.
If I could travel back in time, there are many things that I would try to change. For one, I would do everything within my power to make sure that “political correctness” never became a prevailing philosophy in our country. This is something I despise more than almost anything else. It is the single biggest factor in what I like to call the “wussification” of America.
In our society, it has become more important to be politically correct than to be honest and exercise freedoms, including the freedom of speech. Everyone seems to be afraid to say or do the wrong thing, and so they don’t say or do anything. Americans were a lot more interesting – mistakes and all – before political correctness came calling.
Now, many Americans have become whining, crying babies who just can’t wait to be offended by something. Instead of spending their time trying to accomplish something important, they sit around sobbing and complaining every time they think they’ve been slighted.
One of the many negative things that has come out of political correctness is that religion – and especially the freedom to demonstrate one’s faith – has become taboo. In an effort to build a clear separation between church and state, we’ve gone overboard and are seemingly taking God out of every equation.
A great example is what happened in a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs hospital recently. A group of 51 Texas grade school children thought it would be a wonderful idea to try to brighten the holidays for wounded veterans who have served this country so faithfully. So, they made Christmas cards for them, some of which were signed “Merry Christmas.”
Well, God forbid that any kind of religious faith be expressed in this country, and so the hospital denied those soldiers the cards because they were afraid some of them might be offended by the “Merry Christmas” wording. I almost fell out of my chair when I read that.
Liberty Institute Director of Litigation Hiram Sasser responded to this outrage by saying, “Targeting the benevolent work of little children for censorship is disgusting. Do the Grinches in the administration of the VA really believe our bravest warriors need protection from the heartfelt well wishes of small children saying Merry Christmas?”
Of course, this is only one of many attacks that our government has launched against Christianity. And let’s not forget that a vast majority of these attacks have come under the watch of our “Christian” president, Barack Obama, who has bent over backwards to make sure that some of our sworn enemies are not offended by anything that Americans say or do.
How do you feel about these Christmas cards to our wounded veterans being intercepted? I’d love to know if anyone else is as upset about it as I am.
There is no such thing as being “politically correct”; it’s called “kissing someone’s @$$” because you’re afraid of hurting their feelings because you have a different opinion than they do. Censoring mail being delivered to Vets in a VA hospital is intolerable. Not condoning or defending the VA’s actions, but since the cards were probably not addressed to specific individuals, therefore not personal mail, administrators may have (unfortunately) a legal (but certainly not a moral) right to confiscate the cards.
And to further get your dander up, the Mayor of Bloomington, IN – Mayor John Hamilton – decided to “rename” a couple of observances – change Good Friday to Spring Holiday, and Columbus Day to Fall Holiday – because they were deemed to be “culturally insensitive.” (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/11/20/city-renames-2-holidays-deemed-culturally-insensitive.html) He must be up for re-election.
I feel it is desirable and disrespectful to our veterans that we do not have a right to express our faith, dad we are denied politically to say Merry Christmas because it offends those to offend us, and that they take the Bible on the VA waiting room because one ignorant anti-Christian person gets his way while millions of Christians are denied their rights. I think that those who make decisions like that should be sent to Iran Afghanistan and all the countries that hate America and hate Israel and live there a year and then decide what they think is politically correct, that is if they actually lived rather than died because they did not have the right to speak.
I will be saying Merry Christmas till I die. If people don’t like it, tough. Move to another country. I will not conform to another religion or sect of people. That is what free speech is all about.
This is just an example of what our muslim president wants to do everywhere. Need I say more? Put HIM on the front lines. See if he prays to GOD or mohammad
What the Soviets called “useful idiots” here are just idiots. Imagine the likes of Obama and similar ilk dictating how you think, what you say, how you say it. Not on our bloody watch. Here at the compound, we watch each others’ backs. And we don’t let our friends get hurt. This current administration proves that Lincoln was wrong–most people DON’T know what’s good for them.
“Political Correctness”
Think about it. Whose politics are used for the standard?
The “Progressives” (Atheistic Communists) who invented the idea as a means to stifle the free speech of anyone who opposes them. Very clever, right?
Congratulations, Dennis Wilson. You accurately para-phrased President Harry Truman’s definition of political correctness when two of his military leaders questioned him on it. Only liberal idiots can ascribe to it.
Isn’t it a federal crime to interfere with the mail? The people who censor and interfere with the mail should be charged; each preson, individually. The recipients should press charges.
W T F
The devil and his minions are all alive and well and working very hard. Pray to defeat him !
We can thank our commie president for such crazy actions. But someone should fire the person at The U.S. Veterans Affairs hospital for such acts of ignorance. Is he Muslim ?
This administration is made up entirely of politically correct idiots who think that you can pick up a turd by the clean end.
The old veteran once said!
Praise the Lord,
Thank you for clean water and my daily bread.
Now Pass the ammunition.
Amen!
God make America Great Again. Amen.
Why is the VA allowed to censor our veterans mail? I’m thinking the veteran is being deprived of basic civil rights. And if the veteran is a citizen of the United States of America this just adds insult to injury. It’s not right.
If their mail is being searched for National Security purposes, then OK, but stick to the intended purpose. Don’t go witch hunting!
Tell Obama to shove his political correctness up his #@# and get out of our country and take all his idiots with him.
Tell it like it is, the truth may hurt sometimes, but it is the TRUTH.
Outlandish, censored Christmas cards from kids to our Vets!!!!! Really???? OH NO!!!! These kids need to be reeducated, they have faith in Christ. We all know that obama is lord, god, and king of the world. Yeah right….Bull crap. This is the plan folks, New World Order. A one world religion, and that religion being the “New World Government “. This is far beyond George Orwell’s fiction book “1984”. This administration makes that book look like summer camp.
I’m not one that cares about political correctness and I’m always telling every one to speak their minds. We as Americans have that right and I’m not giving it up with out a fight. I’m ready to go to D.C. and give them all their pick slips. Who’s with me?
I’m in. Let’s do it. This is whst we need to do, ban together and take back our rights and freedom.
This government is getting out of hand,there is nothing wrong with Merry Christmas.I think the veterans would love the cards and they shouldn’t have been taken away.
The political correctness has put this country on extremely slippery slope. Each day it seems we inch closer and closer to the edge. If it had been anything other than Merry Christmas would they have sent your dad? What if they sent happy Ramadan? What if they sent birthday card celebrating Hitler? With the politically correct administration at the VA let those go through? God allow this country to be born! We were founded as a judeo-christian country! So while I still can let me say Merry Christmas, Happy Easter, God Bless America!
YES .IT IS SAD, THAT IT HAS COME TO THIS!AND YES’OBAMA ‘N HIS PEOPLE HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH IT,HE IS A ‘M”,LET US NOT FORGET THAT!THE ‘V A”SHOULD LET THE’VETERANS’MEN N WOMEN OPENED THEIR OWN XMAS CARDS IN THE FIRST PLACE! HOW CAN THEY DO THAT?THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO KEEP OTHER PEOPLE MAIL!BUT U R RIGHT,,RELIGIOUS HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT,WHAT WILL BECOME OF OUR GRANDKIDS,WHEN THEY R TAUGH THIS IN SCHOOLS,N EVERYWHERE?HOW SAD OUR
USA”HAS BECOME,N IT WILL GET WORSE …WATCH N SEE!
Political Correctness = America’s Demise. The country is falling apart at the moral seams. We’re following the path of Rome, and honest historians (not the re-write fiction writers of the progressive left) can point to various issues that caused the Roman Empire to fall: rampant homosexuality and other immorality, run-away entitlement, multi-god worship and political corruption. Surely there are parallels in today’s America, and the Supreme Court just confirmed that in an illegal decision redefining marriage. Let’s join together to create an “ANTI POLITICAL CORRECTNESS” program to get Americans back on track!
I have given and sent Christmas cards for over 63 years. I say “Merry Christmas” to all of you.
This is a National Outrage and the comments of my Afganhistan veteran son are unprintable.Here’s hoping that these traitoous officials cop a round ‘where it hurts the most,’ while they are on their knees praying to their “God.”
I think common sense went out the door a long time ago. I am with you on all aspects. Christmas is going to stay but the youth now is being brainwashed in all the schools and how will we change that???????
Frank I’m with you. I’m outraged the VA feels that they can open ANY wounded vet’s mail or even a hand delivered Christmas card, when they have no right to do this not only to our vets but our men and women who serve so bravely and sacrifice so much for all of us. May God Bless Our Veterans and their families who stand behind them 100%
This trend has been progressing for awhile, but has truly escalated under Obama & his gang. They are truly the Grinch, and the taboo on Merry Christmas is one more way they are trying to destroy our culture.
Myself, I say “Merry Christmas” as often as possible during the season!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!……..GOT IT? And please, never write “Xmas”. I do not believe in political correctness. I`m going to say and act the things that I believe in. If anyone feels offended, that`s their problem.
If the Children had written Ali Ack Bar (SIC) the cards would be passed out without fanfare.
I’m with you Frank, this is an outrage! This is is borderline criminal to me. I assume the letters were addressed to injured soldiers, not va administrators. For these people to think they have the right to comb through these letters and decide what an injured soldier should receive is denying the soldiers the love and support they deserve for putting their lives on the line! Have we learned nothing from events of the past? Lets not isolate and abandon todays soldiers like the vietnam vets were when they returned home. If this keeps up it will be just like living in china where owning a bible is a crime. Scary times are ahead if we continue down this road! I thank every vet i meet and all who read this from the bottom of my heart for the sacrifices they make to keep us safe! Love you guys and gals! Stay strong and i hope your birthday party for jesus this year is a great one. Thank you Frank for keeping us ” in the know”, god bless!
I don’t give a rats about political correctness! I not only wish my clients at my business a Merry Christmas, but also, instead of a tree put up a life size nativity scene in my office. I skipped the “Christmas, commercial BS” last year and had a Happy Birthday Jesus party instead. The new tradition in my house. Offend by that? Don’t let the door hit you in the butt on the way out!
Something else that took over our children is the “self-esteem” crap that got shoved down their throats. Made to believe they were all little gods and life should be…ALL ABOUT THEM! When I was growing up it was called “CONCEITED!” and NOT something you wanted to be branded with. This generation of whining brats need to quit thinking they are the only penny in the roll and life does not revolve about what they want.
Amen
Only a fool knows there is no God. And you can’t argue with a fool. Merry Christmas to all of our vets whether hospitalized or not. Pajama Lady
It is a sad day when the supposedly educated administrators of our institutions have absolutely no common sense. A better solution would have been to divide them into two piles-one religious, one secular and then to have distributed them to those who fit into that respective category.
What’s the next step? Will these assholes at the VA take it one step further and suggest that any child that believes in God be taught that Christians should be burned alive or beheaded. I’ll bet that would be OK with Obama. Be aware, the future is closer than you think.
MyNickelsworth:
The Hospital management should be fined and Jailed for breaking the First Amendment of the Constitution.
They should know better, but then most gov;t associated personnel have been brain washed to the stupid state. Yep, they are working in our schools to do it to everybody.
The actions were also illegal as hell under federal law, since the VA bureaucrats do not have authority to interfere with or censor delivery of U.S. mail.
Yes I agree Americans need to stand up & say HELL NO! you will NOT stop us !!! America was created ON these freedoms…that’s what made us different & why we were established!
When people say Seasons Greetings to me, I respond with Merry Christmas and they usually, then do the same. If they actually wish me a Merry Christmas, I thank them and do the same. I’m sick of this political correctness crap. I think this is still the United States of America although the powers that be continue to destroy our freedoms bit by bit. Love it or go back where you came from.
I thought our country was founded “1 nation under GOD” ? but we cant say that in public, what if we tried to push satanism in public ? would that be accepted by Obama ? To all believers, what was the description of the ‘antichrist’, and his agenda ?
Obama is the one who started all this shit with political correctnous. he’s not a fu%king Christian. why the hell do you call him one. He’s a jihad Muslim. A non birth right President. The guy should be shot and dragged trough the streets of DC!!
If the word GOD or Merry Christmas is wrong then I guess we should REMOVE “In GOD WE TRUST” from every US COIN & DOLLAR, FIVE, TEN, TWENTY, FIFTY,&
ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL” we print & mint!
It’s a sad day in this country when people are denied Christmas cards! Aside from being a crime to mess with someone’s mail, this sends a terrible message to our children. They’re being told that their loving gesture is wrong! They’re doing the right thing! Political correctness is such carp! No veteran I know would be offended by a Christmas card; they’d be thankful that someone cared and wanted to reach out to them. I say Merry Christmas to everyone. So far, it’s still my right to do so. We must stand up for faith and freedom before we lose freedom and can’t practice faith.
This whole politically correct idea is prepsterous to say the least. This is America we have our customs as well as any other country and our veterans have fought for our freedom and our right to practice our customs .WHAT IS SO OFFENSIVE about “Merry Christmas” you are simply wishing that someone has a happy and joyful christmas holiday. Or are you too stupid to understand that. If you don’t believe in having a “Merry Christmas” and “Happy Holidays” you are unamerican and should leave this country and go back where you came from. You do have the right and freedom to practice your beliefs and religion your own way in the United States, and we as Americans have the right to do the same .Ifr that offends you LEAVE, we are Americans and this is our country. You came to us, we did not go to your country. Wise up and act like adults. And as for the goverment, I believe you have far more important things to be working on rather than this kind of bullshit, do some serious work for a change. VA there was no excuse for your actions, your just an idiot.
If you want to say Christmas just say it! What is the big deal here? People say the “F” word the “N” word and the “B” word and all the time. I don’t like it but I don’t call the police or go crazy. Don’t sweat the small stuff just move on.
Isn’t it a crime to deliberately
misdirect first class mail ?
Maybe the Vets should discuss this
with the local postmaster!
Yes!!! Tampering with U.S. Mail IS A FELONY. What part of that does those idiots in the V.A. not understand? You know the expression “Sh-t rolls down hill”? With a Power grabbing Potus directing this administration, all the loose cannons below him think they can act like him.
If I was that teacher, I would hsve delivered those Children’s Christmas Cards personally to the patients there – hand deliver them! By doing that you circumvent the “stupids” by delivering them yourselves.
Also, that teacher should have contacted the Newspapers as well as the local News stations to tell what happened. And gone directly to the VA to find out the name of the individual who made that decision on their own – obviously a liberal duncehead.
Until “we the people” stand up for our rights, we will be mowed down by liberal delusional decisions…which have always been misguided (fraudulent potus) and irrational. STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS NOW OR FOREVER GIVE UP YOUR LIVES AS YOU WANT TO LIVE! This is not a bargaining action, it is demanding that this govt back away and respect our Bill of Rights!
Make bumper stickers that say: “Political Correctness” SUCKS! Or “Political Correctness is for Dummies”. Or make your own saying but make a statement! The only people who will object are liberals. Just laugh in their faces and walk away!
This is not the United States of America that I grew up in. Now it`s the Do as your told states of America. What happened punishing your children if their bad. When a grew up sometimes had a belt on my back side. Now you cant do that. either your child will sue you or you get reported for child abuse. Some one had a post about getting rid of all the government politicians and replacing them. I`m all foer that but we have to be careful who we elect. We don’t want anyone that’s out for their own betterment. We want people that will stand up for we the people. Then we might get back on track.
It’s going to be a hard fight but we on the religious right will win out. Yes we need to pick our politicians carefully because many of them tell you what you want to hear to get elected then once in office turn their back on you and start walking around with their hand out saying “show me the cash”.
My Dad used to say elect a different group every 2 years, they go in with good intentions, the get corrupt with power and become idiots. I f you voted for Oboma the first time to prove you wren’t against blacks, and voted for him again it proved you are stupid. The Christmas cards were probably delivered in person and not mailed, so that tampering with mail was not violated.
This is disgusting ! I would think that the vast majority of veterans would appreciate some kindness and recognition. At the very least, if they were defending the USA as I know it, they would understand ‘ freedom of speech ‘ . Besides … how did these cards get intercepted anyway ? I am currently living out of the US but travel back 3 or 4 times a year to visit my Mom. When I last came back, she commented that my letters had all be opened . When I returned to the country of my current residence, my partner also mentioned that my letters had been opened. Same comment came from his secretary in the NE USA – letters had been opened. What the hell is going on here?
I think it was stupid on their part. If they would think about it everyday is Christmas. God had created everything around you.
Why is it that the parties responsible or the individuals names, political position etc is NEVER posted so WE can call, e-mail or write them and voice our opinions DIRECTLY on them?????????
It is PAST TIME for these websites to expose those directly responsible for these attacks on our Constitution.
When did it change from”Of the People, By the People and For the People”, to Screw the People!
As with anything, if you do not like what you hear or see, well then walk away, don’t read it or turn the channel.
I thought this was “Home of the Brave and Land of the Free” not Home of the Insensitive and Land of don’t Offend Me.
Isn’t withholding mail not addressed to you against the law? Whoever held that mail up should be charged with a felony.
Sadly, Christens don’t just continue to turn the other cheek in the face of oppression and all of this politically correct nonsense they run and hide! We will lose the great principles and freedoms this nation was founded on if we don’t stand in the gap and defend all that Jesus Christ sacrificed for us! He died for us yet we can’ t stand up against all of this foolishness and show him we will not shame him in the eyes of these radical left wingers! Stop apologizing for our faith and draw the sword of righteousness in unison for him and all of the blessings he has provided us ! If we continue to lay down over these demonic forces we will offend Christ and lose the battle! Most All of the problems across the world are driven by radical Muslims, yet God forbid we may offend them if we stand up for our Christen beliefs! I’m sorry but I refuse to stay silent and watch them tear us apart! How bazaar and beyond comprehension is it that someone was beheaded here in America by a Muslim extremest and the Network News channels go radio silent! They spent more time talking about what Kim Kardasian wore to some function and invested virtually no airtime over this heinous act! We can’t stay silent and expect that things are going to get better! Stop making excuses for these barbarian animals that want to kill us and take over our country! America we are in the middle of a spiritual War and we better get off our Asses and standup for what God has given us to protect! We want his mercy yet we won’t stand up and defend him! Do we really deserve his mercy as we stand silently by as this radical cancer destroys everything we cherish and love? I can’t even imagine what America will become for our children if we don’t do what our forefathers did for us!
Ashamed , Saddened,,and Mad as Hell is probably the best way I can express my feelings towards what just happened at this VA Hospital!
Wayne News
gerorge washington sais it all this country was founded on the teachings of the bible and it will not survive when we get rid of god from our lives
One of the reasons for our fight for independence was for the freedom of religion. It is incumbent on me to respect that for other people, so if I want to keep the “Christ” in Christmas I am damn sure going to do it. If somebody is offended by this, it is real simple. Walk away.
Events like this one make me sick to think how low we can be. We live in a free country, the best in the world and it makes me sad to see it taken away from us piece by piece by people who don’t love this great nation as we should. I would like to say to all those who truly don’t love our freedoms and our country and don’t appreciate all of the sacrifices that our war heroes and their families have made for us to be able to live in this great nation, you are certainly welcome to go live in a country that is not great like ours. I am sad to see the leaders that are over this great nation try to destroy our greatness and only wish that there would be away to get rid of all of them, from the top down
When are all the believers going to get together and stop this bull. A few run the many. This happens where kings and ect rule. Obama is neither so let the bible thump them all.
Was at Wal-Mart, had about $300. In gifts the check said happy Hollidays I replyed Mary Christmas, she reresponed we can’t say that. I just looked at at her for a few second s. Then I just left everything I had with her and left and as I was leaving I greeted everyone with marry christmas. And to all of you Mary christmas and happy New yeary.
I work for Walmart and that wasn’t at my store, our people greeter says Merry Christmas and god Bless you as you leave the store.
FIRST OF LET ME SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OUR VETS AND MILITARY FOR FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM AND THE UTMOST VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS. I MUST SAY THE PC CRAP IS JUST THAT. CRAP. WAY OVER REACHED AND JUST ONE MORE FORM OF COTEING AND QUIETING THE TRUE AMERICAN PEOPLE. THE BLACK SPOT IN THE WHITE HKUSE NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP. HE IS SURELY NOT CHRISTIAN AS WE ALL KNOW HE IS A MUSLIM. AND WE KNOW MOST ARE AMERICAN HATERS. IT IS BEYOND WRONG THE VA DENIED OUR VETS A SMALLEST OF A WARM WISH FROM CHILDREN AND YET IS A VERY BIG GESTURE THAT IS SO WELL APRECIATED BY OUR VETS. I AM BEYON BESIDE MYSELF TO READ THIS ARTICLE. I AGREE WITH A PREVIOUS REPLY THAT OUR GIVERNMENT NEEDS BE CLEANED OUT OVERHAULED PURGED. THE AMERICANS NEED A NEW GEORGE WASHINGTON FOR THE REASON OUR FORFATHERS FOUNDED THIS GREAT NATION. NOT THE THE POLITCAL PISSANTS DESTROY AND TAKE OUR FREEDOM AND TREAT OUR VETS WITH SUCH DISREPSECT AND DISGRASEFULLNESS. THANK YOU VETS AND PRESENT MILITARY AND MERRY CHRISTMAS. OH AND PRESIDENT. MERRY CHRISTMAS
In case I get busy around Christmastime, folks, MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
First Obama cancels the tradition of National Prayer Day for all religions (the 2nd Thursday of May. Started by Truman and cemented by Reagan.) of the nation, and gives the Muslims room next to the White House in September to have a special Muslim only prayer day (he went), and now he’s trying to forbid a heart felt tradition of Christmas cards? How can he look himself in the mirror or people in the eye and say he’s a Christian? He needs to stop offending Christians by worrying about how his Muslim cronies feel and giving them special privileges. Seriously, for the VA to reject a gift from these innocent children on the basis it might offend someone is ridiculous. These are children for goodness sake! I agree with Marvin, did anyone bother to ask the soldiers if they would be offended? No. Soldiers are adults and since the majority of our military, by statistics put out by the federal government, is of Christian faith what is the problem? If a soldier doesn’t want the card they have the opportunity and right to pass it on to a soldier who does. In CA some schools can’t even celebrate Christmas because the Jehovah Witnesses objected and sued. Keep your kids at home that day if you don’t want them to participate! If the children are making Christmas cards to say “thank you” and let our soldiers know they are appreciated and thought of – Let Them! Don’t insult the kids, or adults in the nation, by this idiotic bureaucracy, which is much more offensive than the cards. My Vet was thrilled when he received a package and a card for the holidays, and he wasn’t a believer of any faith at the time. God Bless America and and our Vets!!
Our govt has been infiltrated,taken over, and under control of pure evil. Until we the people return back to our roots,foundation, as a majority we are in trouble. Money has been the driving force of the evil gaining power. Igorance,uneducated,selfishness is the rule of the day and allows this evil to continue. When 40% of the electorate still support the evil and cannot or will not see or admit all of the man made crisi or scandals that tells you we are in trouble. All things are possibe with GOD. Lets beleive, praise, him for better days for America, soon.
I think we need to get rid of the antichrist as president he is ruining this country and what it stands for. Children sending christmas cards to disabled vets a problem? What is wrong with this country?
Without Christ, there would be no Christmas. Without Christmast there would be no holiday to be “happy” about, as in “happy holidays”. If someone is shopping, trust me, it is not for a new years gift. Stores should display “Merry Christmas” proudly! Freedom of (not from) religion is in our constitution. We need the pledge of allegiance (and prayer) back in our schools. When are Christians ever going to benefit from PC? There are a lot more of us than people think, but we are so busy always turning the other cheek that we are never heard. We have to make a noise, and make it together.
Amen Dan and Merry Christmas to you and yours!!!
SCREW OBOMA AND HIS CREW….. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
This country better stop this PC crap and it better be soon. I have been against this from the first time I heard someone speaking in that manor. Also, it is despicable to stop these Veterans from receiving their CHRISTMAS CARDS from caring school children who were doing something fantastic. Second, their intercepting of US mail, if that is how the cards were received, was a federal offense.
The LAD (lie’n a$$ dog) in the white house needs to stop trying to destroy the Christian faith. His muslim teachings are wrong and it does my Christian heart good to know, I will not be seeing him when I go to heaven.
This stupid political has again gone to far. It is ludicrous and idiotic.
If you believe in Jesus, then live the life that He would
have you live. When you leave the check out at any store, tell the clerk,”I hope that you are having a blessed day.” At Christmas ;put something in the front yard that says Merry Christmas not merry xmas. Jesus is not an unknown quantity.
Amen brother!
In January of last year a small Baptist school/church in Ft. Pierce, Fl. held a fund raiser for the wounded warrior organization to donate $25000.00. The organization refused the donation because they don’t receive donations from religious organizations. They backtracked after a public outcry, but proves the point that PC is completely out of control in this country.
how sad is this world we are living in.
Give me a break, everyone believes in something. If someone wants to do something nice for you, especially a child, would you really be resentful? I want the country back I grew up with.
Beginning with the Whinie-Butt that sits in our Nations White House, we the People need to do what our so-called congress it to yellow to do, we need to clean out our White House and congress too and put some real Americans in who really care about America and stop this stupidity in trying to tear down the greatest nation on earth that was built up by God and His people who truly believe in Him.
We need to do it now too. I don’t believe we can stand another 2 years of the LAD in D.C.
I bet they did not even ask the veterans if it would offend them with the Merry Christmas on the cards. I can guarantee that every one of those brave gentlemen said a prayer at least once while in the fox holes, battleships and planes during their time of service. Just because they are in a government “run” facility does of mean they leave their rights at the door upon check-in. If I were to hand deliver a card to my grandfather or uncles that said Get Well Soon and GOD Bless, and they were in one of these facilities I dare someone to tell me I cannot give them the card. America is only weaker and seen as idiots for all of the PC garbage, I have heard that from foreigners from several European and Middle Eastern countries I have encountered.
Political correctness is just another means of controlling us and taking away our freedoms.
I say and we should all say: Merry Christmas and God Bless you!
I find it out rageous, I am from the old school of thought if you are honest and sincere people should not be offended.
I feel that if you wan to go back to where you came from. Our men and woman put their lives on the line and buttheads are worried about offending please. God bless our men and women.
Anything that has to do with God is taboo to the social planners. Judeo Christianity has to be eleminated in order for America to be a bystander in the world. The deceived that voted for the hitler protege simply don’t want Truth. Patrick Henry said ” it cannot be emphasized too strongly or too Oren that this great nation was founded not by religionist, but by Christians; not on religion, but on the Gospel of Jesus Christ”.We eliminated God & his Son in ’62 & ’63. Although many of us have Christ in our hearts, the rest of America is a Heathen Nation; a lot like nazi Germany prior to WW 2- same type of leader. ‘Nam Vet, Bud Golata
This is so disgusting what america has come to. I am a disabled Vietnam Vet and any well wishes I would’ve gotten would be so meaningful. This PC crap is just as bad as the treatment we got then. These kids are showing what the best of America is about, not the worst. Children have a way of doing what God wants us to do, and I don’t care what ANYBODY has to say about it. Once again I gotta say, “Leave our kids alone!”
I believe that atheist are behind everything that goes with the censorship of religious freedom. Politics are giving them way too much credit because we (Christians) are the majority and we have the power to stand up and shut this down. I for one have never been a conformist when it comes to being politically correct. I am a retired Air Force disabled veteran, I was injured during Desert Storm while serving my country and I received wonderful get well cards from my unit and the classmates of my three children that had “God Bless.” American Christians need to stand up and fight for our first amendment rights to freely express our religious freedom. I don’t mean to offend anyone but I WILL NOT stop saying “Merry Christmas” ever.
I’m a vet, and use the VA services. I don’t celebrate Christmas, but I think it is wrong to stop the cards from the children. I celebrate the Jewish Feast, but I also believe in the Christ. I’m a. Messianic-Jew
Why can’t the few that do not believe just go about their own way and let us that do have our way and they believe however they want. Our veterans all need our help and these people do not understand that if it was not for them this country would not be free as it is. Obama needs to fall off the face of this earth and take all his law changes with him, he is evil !!! He spends money like it is his, not ours and he is suppost to work for US. He has torn our country down so bad these past years, why did he get reelected ???
You are so right Joyce. The “non-believers” get their way because, they fight for it. They are a group of powerful, big money, poor excuses for human beings. They will eventually get their reward in hell, but we have got to do something about this now. You are so correct about the guy who is squatting in the Whitehouse.
Only Christian faith is NOT allowed. If it was witches, or muslims wishing best of their “religion” it would be allowed.
It is only going to worse people and you know why? Because we are not furious enough to do something serious about this crap. I’m sick to my stomach that kids got hurt in this situation. We don’t live in America anymore this is hellica. I will never ever apologize to damn one no matter who the hell they are, about my rights, freedoms, beliefs, or my religion. So those people out the living in our new Hellica can actually just go to hell if I offend them. Everyday is disgusting sickening news about this country I want to fight today right now Who is with me Lets go It might too late one day very soon It might be death or prison for those that want to stand up & say no way! We need to wake up now! All kinds of ink pens are being used right now to take down our freedom of everything We are going to be worse than a communist or dictatorship totalitarian nation I will die before anyone comes into my home & strips it bear But just know this They are coming & it’s sooner than you can even believe There’s going to alot of dead Americans on our own precious soil History will never be the same unless we act & do now!!
Two things will be the major causes of the demise of my beloved United States of America: political correctness and acceptance. We have lost the ability to speak what is actually correct, due to concerns it might not be politically correct. I believe as Voltaire has been (mis)attributed as having stated, “I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” That is one of our cherished freedoms I have spent my entire adult life defending as a Soldier.
I also believe as our Forefathers did, that tolerance is the cornerstone of liberty, especially as enshrined in our Bill of Rights. Tolerance, however, does not necessarily mean acceptance. I can tolerate someone’s different beliefs or lifestyles, without having to accept them. The fine and subtle difference between tolerance and acceptance has long since been lost in American society, and those especially on the left have come to demand acceptance of all differing views, rather than tolerance.
I have one small refinement for your statement, “One of the many negative things that has come out of political correctness is that religion – and especially the freedom to demonstrate one’s faith – has become taboo.” The freedom to demonstrate one’s faith has not been lost, unless you are a Christian, or a Jew. We bend over backwards to ensure other faiths have the ability to express their ideology and dogma, whilst repressing Judeo-Christian beliefs.
When the actions of a few affect the lives of many, it’s time for the majority to take action and get off their complacent asses and take a stand !! I for one, will NEVER stop telling the truth, in love or respect, and that also includes my faith. The PC libs want to say and do what ever they want, but at the same time want to shut down free speech because they know “the truth will MAKE you free”. A free man is dangerous to their agenda. NEVER SURRENDER.. EVER !
This is what Obama wants and he is not a christian in any way.
Obama took his oath of office as a senator on the Koran. He took is oath of office as president not on the Koran but on the Lincoln Bible only because he was pressured to do so. It was too soon after 9/11. He is a Muslim. In his autobiography he clearly says that if he would have to choose between the government he was living under and Islam–he would always choose Islam!!!
I served active duty Army and retired from the Reserves. My husband still serves. When he was stationed in Kuwait, our family participated in sending care packages to dozens of soldiers overseas, and included filled Christmas stockings that the Girl Scouts made several years in a row. We know that the recipients aren’t all Christian or Catholic, but what we DO know is that all soldiers who are away from their families in harm’s way (or recovering in VA hospitals) need to know that Americans care about the sacrifices they are making to protect our freedoms. We must encourage them, even if we don’t agree with all the politics that got them there. I’m certain that any soldier who did not want such a card or gift would pass it on to someone else, and it would still be a blessing. It’s the thought that counts.
I’m not Catholic, yet when my grandfather died, one of my co-workers paid to have a Mass said for my grandfather. When I got the card informing me of the Mass, I was touched that someone would do this. I don’t believe in the Mass, nor do I think anything special happened because of it, however I was CERTAINLY NOT OFFENDED. I took it for what it was, a nice gesture on the part of someone who cared for me.
The PC Whinie-Butts need to get a clue, craw back into their playpens until they grow up and let the rest of us who are adults handle things for a while.
