Are we becoming too politically correct about the holidays? Not PC enough?

Re: Are we becoming too politically correct about the holidays? Not PC enough?

Actually I do have good friends who are Australian and when they were exchange students in Canada, they loved our "white" Christmases. They said they still sing songs like Jingle Bells (dashing through the snow..etc), but they think its funny singing those songs in the heat of the summer when it is Christmas time down under.

Yeah it's pretty ridiculous...

Bare in mind people - was it snowing in the birth of Jesus Story ?

Check out this Christmas song by Rolf Harris. We had this on record when I was little and we used to play it:

Early on one Christmas Day, a Joey Kanga-roo
Was far from home and lost in a great big zoo
Mummy, where's my mummy, they've taken her a-way
We'll help you find your mummy son, hop on the sleigh


[Verse:]
Up beside the bag of toys, little Joey hopped
But they had'nt gone far when Santa stopped
Un-harnessed all the reindeer and Joey wondered why
Then he heard a far off booming in the sky


[Chorus:]
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
Racing Santa Claus through the blazing sun
Six white boomers, snow white boomers
.. On his Aus-tra-lian run


Pretty soon old Santa began to feel the heat
Took his fur-lined boots off to cool his feet
Into one popped Joey, feeling quite OK
While those old man kangaroos kept pulling on the sleigh


Joey said to Santa, Santa, what about the toys
Aren't you giving some to these girls and boys
They've all got their presents son, we were here last night
This trip is an extra trip, Joey's special flight


Soon the sleigh was flashing past, right over Marble Bar
Slow down there, cried Santa, it can't be far
Come up on my lap son, and have a look around
There she is, that's mummy, bounding up and down


Well that's the bestest Christmas treat that Joey ever had
Curled up in mother's pouch all snug and glad
The last they saw was Santa headed northward from the sun
The only year the boomers worked a double run

When someone at a store says "Happy Holidays" I ask, which holiday? Why are people so afraid to say Christmas? Are people Intollerant to mine and over half of Americas belief? What is all this censorship about? Are people really so emotionally fragile that if they hear the word Christmas, they will be damaged? Get a grip! And to all of those athiests out there... I hope you all took a stand for your belief and refused to take your employers Christmas Bonus or any Payed Christmas Holiday pay.
And I'm sick of this "diversity" crap, Diversity is the opposite of UNITY, how about celebrating a little unity instead?


And why would anyone celebrate a racist psudo holiday Like Kwanzaa? Little do people know Kwanzaa was designed to further separate Blacks from identifying with America.Kwanzaa is not even a legitimate African holiday. The founder of Kwanzaa, Ron Karenga (a.k.a. Maulana Karenga) himself admits he made up this Pagan holiday to give Blacks a false sense of culture and identity. About the Founder Ron Karenga:
Ron Karenga The founder of Kwanzaa,(or Maulana Karenga) was the head of the United Slaves organization (USO), a Marxist “Black power” group that was a rival to the Black Panther party. USO members and Black Panther terrorists frequently got involved in violent confrontations and several people died as a result.

In 1970, Karenga and two of his followers were arrested and charged with conspiracy and assault in the torture of Deborah Jones and Gail Davis, two of his followers. Thinking that these women had tried to poison him, he made them disrobe at gunpoint and had them beaten. He forced a hot soldering iron into the mouth of one woman while the other had a toe squeezed in a vice. They were also forced to swallow detergent and another caustic liquid as part of their punishment. Karenga was convicted and served four years for the crime.

I got this info here > http://www.bondinfo.org/activism/kwanzaa/template.htm

They get some of their info from "Kwanzaa -- Racist Holiday from ****"

I could have written a whole lot more, but will shut my mouth before I look like too much of a radical, or is it too late.

I Hope You all had a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
