I am not a Christian, but I agree this is necessary. A boycott is in order. For too long, Americans have had their rights and traditions trampled on by politically correct apparatchiks, and would be commisars.

They want to use the Cross but ignore it's tradition and history “ Individuals devoted to the saving of lives and property arose during the Crusades. Bands of knights going to the Holy Land ito search for the Holy Grail were organized into “orders.” One such order was entitled the Order of Saint John of Hospitaliers. This band of knights dedicated themselves to the treatment of serious wounds caused on the battleground. [sic] The symbol for the Order of Saint John was a red Cross” ... to much positive philosophy, the enemies have infiltrated our most important organizations and hope to break religion once and for all before enacting communism. Gramsci would be proud:

Gramsci's intellectual work in prison did not emerge in the light of day until several years after World War II, when the PC began publishing scattered sections of the Notebooks and some of the approximately 500 letters he wrote from prison. By the 1950s, and then with increasing frequency and intensity, his prison writings attracted interest and critical commentary in a host of countries, not only in the West but in the so-called third world as well. Some of his terminology became household words on the left, the most important of which, and the most complex, is the term "hegemony" as he used it in his writings and applied to the twin task of understanding the reasons underlying both the successes and the failures of socialism on a global scale, and of elaborating a feasible program for the realization of a socialist vision within the really existing conditions that prevailed in the world. Among these conditions were the rise and triumph of fascism and the disarray on the left that had ensued as a result of that triumph. Also extremely pertinent, both theoretically and practically, were such terms and phrases as "organic intellectual," "national'popular," and "historical bloc" which, even if not coined by Gramsci, acquired such radically new and original implications in his writing as to constitute effectively new formulations in the realm of political philosophy.
