The "C Word". To some there is no word more offensive in the English language. Upon hearing it you may notice people look over their shoulder at the others in the room who may have heard it, looking for the one or two people who are sure to be instantly offended by it. All over the country businesses, transportation terminals, and community centers all come to a dead stop at the whisper of the "C Word". These days...its just too risky to mention the word Christmas.
Wishing somebody a Merry Christmas infers a religious preference, more importantly, it infers a Christian preference. Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus, and is the most Holy of Holidays in the Christian faith. As sacred as this day is to so many of the faithful, its observance is in the process of having a negative social stigma attached to it by the agents of multiculturalism, the controlled media, and politicians. Those who wish to remove the individuals ability to self identify themselves as Christian are literally waging a War On Christmas.
Recently at a Chase bank in Texas, a customer donated not only his money but his time as well by purchasing and decorating a Christmas Tree for the branch lobby. After eight days of display, the donating customer received a correspondence from J.P. Morgan Chase informing him that his gift Had To Go because of complaints that people found it offensive.
The sign to The Christmas Village in Philadelphia PA was completely removed due to the complaints that were filed by the local Jewish community. According to Philadelphia's Action News- the sign was removed to be more inclusive to the Jewish and Muslim population that would be present at the outdoor event held on public property on the west side of City Hall.
Those are only two examples of how the Christian tradition is being repressed, all in the name of inclusion and acceptance. For every Christmas Tree that goes up, a menorah must be placed within viewing distance. For every Merry Christmas that gets wished, there must be a happy Kwanzaa added afterward. This country's founding religious ideal is in the process of being isolated, with the eventual intent of being removed.
In a nation who's foundation was set within the guidelines of Christianity- its free and open practice must be safeguarded. The faith based value system that led to the most magnificent civilization that this world has ever known is part of our culture, and is vital to the continuation of our people.
The War On Christmas has begun and whether you like it or not, you've been drafted. This year when you're at the office, supermarket, bank, or anywhere else- you may hear the enemy utter the term Happy Holidays. That is your que to steady your aim, stand your ground, look them right in the eyes, and fire back with the boldest Merry Christmas that you can throw at them.
