OK...then prove your argument. Link me to the Kwanzaa related violence. Let me see the Kwanzaa related burnings. Show me the Kwanzaa organized racial purges.

But I've never made those arguments. You really need to work on your reading comprehension. It is impossible to hold a rational debate with someone who can't seem to hold a coherent thought or understand what anyone is saying.

So, in other words.

There are no illegal activities involving Kwanzaa, just your dislike for the origin of the celebration, and what you perceive it to be.

So, you condemn it based on your prejudiced view, and according to that, the President should not acknowledge it.

You just want to "save" other citizens from engaging in an activity that, while completely legal, you do not approve of, and you believe that it is "improper" for the President to acknowledge this non-illegal activity that other citizens participate in because it implies government approval, and because you do not agree with what you perceibve its principles to be, bolstering your argument by elevating the lowest, most radical point of view from its most radical proponents as a benchmark.

So, your argument is basically the same argument that the ACLU uses to uphold their whole "separation of Church and State" theory.

This is a nation that upholds individual freedoms above all. That freedom allows anyone to celebrate Kwanzaa however they wish to celebrate it. It allowed John Smith to create a whole new version of Christianity. It allows Christian Scientists to exist side by side with Mennonites.

This tolerance of one another's beliefs is what made this nation great...not intolerance.

When Bush acknowledges Kwanzaa, he acknowledges the greatness of this nation.

Not that members of the Christian Taliban could ever possibly understand that.
