Now that wqs really nice to read at the beginning of my day. I'm repeating it again below. Thanks for posting the article.

I join with Ann Coulter in celebrating Galatians 3:28, which notes that the gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ is available to all, no matter their race, color, background or heritage. It says, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. …" (NKJV).

I like Kwanzaa with grilled pork. Mix it with rice and it delicious. Wait, whats Kwanzaa again?? ;-)

Everytime somebody mentions Kwanzaa, I hear Krusty the Clowns voice in my head saying "Have a Krazy Kwanzaa". Can't remember the exact quote, but it was something like that. I'm not a big Falwell fan, but he's not wrong about this faux holiday. Its just Marxism wrapped in different paper.

This phony invention is gaining respect. Just like the Rev Al has gained respect.
Only in the PC-dominated USA can garbage rise to the top.

I don't care a whit about "Kwanzaa" just so long as nobody forgets that July 30 is 'Universal Salamander Appreciation Day'.

Lots of $$$ involved. Holidays are big business. Even holidays with old historical origins are exploited. Take Valentine's Day - a minor no-account holiday promoted and exploited by florists, candy makers, jewelers, etc. A better name for it would be Mushy Money Day, a needless day where trinkets are extorted out of husbands and boyfriends by the fear that the significant woman will get sore.

Since there is no credible evidence of the mythical event it is reputed to be based upon, Christmas is an illegitimate holiday. The holiday was invented and placed on the calendar to commandeer the millennial long celebration of winter solstice. For that matter, for similar reasons, Easter is just as illegitimate because it too is a celebration of a mythical event and was placed on the calendar to commandeer the millennial long celebration of spring equinox.

I am still campaigning for MY holiday, "The Nine Nights of the Nordic Lights."

We will celebrate by eating Danish open-faced sandwiches and butter cookies while drinking copious amounts of beer. Saunas are optional.

Careful, don't piss off Kwanzaa-bot.

[Pharmboy]

Kwanzaa: affirmative action applied to holidays.

[Non-Sequitur]

It never ceases to amaze me how people like Coulter and Falwell insist on going out of their way to condemn something that should have absolutely no meaning to them, merely so they can rile up their followers. Don't like Kwanzaa? Fine. Don't observe it, don't honor it, don't do anything about it. Ignore it.

[indcons]

Falwell is a fool - if he doesn't like Kwanzaa, he should ignore it instead of giving it more publicity.

However, Falwell is an attention whore. Why doesn't he do anything about his master's (Rev. Moon) claims that he is the second coming of Christ?

Approximately 1.6% of this country celebrates Kwaanza (source: a FR Barf Alert thread. Look for it.)

Within 5 years, there will be more people celebrating Festivus -- if there aren't already.

America has been duped into accepting illegitimate holiday

"But I cannot accept Kwanzaa as a legitimate American holiday."

Who does? Not enough to matter.

[sgtbono2002]

I wouldnt worry about it too much Jerry. Its a fad that will die out. Most of America just chuckles a litle that blacks who observe Kwaanza are 1.Bigots,or 2. Stupid,or a combination of both.

[BuffaloJack]

Ignorant people can believe in and celebrate whatever they want. Just don't force their beliefs on me or expect me to show any respect for them.

[Tribune7]

Freep the Kwanzaa poll.

[shrinkermd]

Reverend Falwell never ceases say something stupid. What difference does it make that someone has a holiday. No one makes Reverend Falwell or anyone else attend the celebrations.

Stupid is as stupid does. Reverend Falwell does a good job helping people find Christ, but he lacks common, political sense sufficient to speak for his followers in Christ.
