Hey, don't confuse me with facts! LOL
Or instruction manuals...you did see my username, right? LOL I am a chick, I don't do instruction manuals. :) That's what I've got Mr. Ex for...let him wrestle with 'em.
Merry Christmas!
When I was a young Catholic boy in St. Louis in the 60s, we lived around a large Jewish community. I had a Jewish teacher and I was in love with a little Jewish girl. We learned all about Chanukah (sp) lol, and I was invited to my teacher's large Jewish wedding in the local Temple. We also sang Christmas songs and had a Christmas play every year.
Funny, before we were rescued by the ACLU from offending each other, I don't ever remember anyone being offended. I only wish my girls today could experience such a rich and free life.
I do to, so in advance
Merry Christmas!
As a committed Jew, I support the Jews for Christmas movement. Christians are the backbone of America. They should be able to observe their celebration of the birth of Christ without shame or fear of being politically incorrect.
In addition to forming a Jews for Christmas organization, how about an organization to oppose the ACLU in their attempts to remove any recognition of Christianity in the public sphere. While they claim that evidence of Christianity, like a miniscule cross on the County Seal of Los Angeles is unconstitutional, they are wrong on the law and wrong on the issue. The ACLU is one of the most subversive organizations in the US today and must be stopped from destroying that which made this country what it is today.
End of rant.
Actually tolerance is a good thing for individuals to have. What if more Muslims felt this way? But tolerance as applied by the left includes tolerating the political correctness mind game that makes us "mean" if we enjoy an ethnic joke, ask that homosexuals not have marriage applied to their unions, or place a nativity scene in a public place. I am glad the vast majority of citizens tolerate our synogogues and holy day celebrations. I don't see why we cannot tolerate their holidays even to the extent of the public Christmas tree and Nativity scene.
I agree, people were never intended to be protected from receiving and giving offense. Its nice to consider others feelings but it is impossible to live a life that is full and meaningful with the proviso that no one ever be offended by our actions or beliefs.
Bumpity, bump! Very nice article, thanks.
Barry has some interesting stories to tell, about the liberals' anti-war movement during World War II, in New York.
Bump.
Great article ... I'm sending it to my supposedly tolerant lib friends. :o)
I am touched and grateful that so many of my Jewish FReepers pals are defending the celebration of Christmas. Truly mean that. I offer you an unqualified THANK YOU.
For the record: I don't "cotton" to individuals or organizations that utter so much as a negative word about public displays that honor Hanukkah. That won't happen in my presence in the future, either.
Happy belated Hanukkah!
you mean the communists in disguise of the ACLU
oh hell I'm so lazy...I just copy and paste the source.
That's our pleasure to do so. :)

"I have a dream – “Jews For Christmas,” a vigorous movement of American Jews rising up to make sure nobody pushes around those Christians whose ancestors decided, for the first time in history, to make a unique wonderland like America, where nobody gets pushed around because of his God-loving ways. ... I want to say to the American Christians: “Hey, fellows. You all relax. We non-Christians owe you one. From the birth of this American republic you’ve made sure WE have every right to religious freedom. You Christians deserve to sit this one out. WE who have been the beneficiaries of your enlightened governance now want to go out and fight and win this one for you.” ... I say to them: “Damn right, it’s our country, too. But American Christians don’t need you to tell them that. The reason it’s our country, too, is because their Christian forefathers demanded that it be so. They were telling YOU it’s your country, too, while your great-grandfather was hiding your grandmother in the hayloft while her sisters were being raped by drunken Cossacks in Minsk.” ... The absolute best friend the Jew has had anywhere on earth is the American Christian. If it weren’t for the American Christian, there’d be no state of Israel and no Jew left alive except for those able to fake another religious identity. ... to say to our Christian founders, protectors, rescuers, neighbors and brothers: “MAZEL TOV!” Which means “Congratulations!” in Hebrew."
Mr. Faber's words deeply move me. I am deeply grateful for them. I can only reply to Mr. Faber that Jews like him and the ones I've met here in FR are the best friends of American Christians. To his welcome "mazel tov" I not only say it in return to him and the wonderful Jewish people I've meet here in FR, but I have to add, as a Southern US Catholic Christian my own sentiments to him and you - God Bless Y'all Real Good!
Wow. A Jewish/Christian thread that did'nt turn into yet another flame war. If I was'nt so tired I'd have cardiac arrest from the shock.
It is one of the most uplifting, pro-American essays I've read on FR.
God bless us, every one.
