type='text'>The Reason for the Season </title><content type='html'>Twas the month before Christmas
When all through our land, 
Not a Christian was praying 
Nor taking a stand.
Why the PC Police had taken away 
The reason for Christmas - no one could say.
The children were told by their schools not to sing
About Shepherds and Wise Men and Angels and things.
It might hurt people&#39;s feelings, the teachers would say
December 25th is just a &#39; Holiday &#39;.
Yet the shoppers were ready with cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor just to get it!
CDs from Madonna, an X BOX, an I-Pod
Something was changing, something quite odd.
Retailers promoted Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell books by Franken &amp; Fonda.
As Targets were hanging their trees upside down
At Lowe&#39;s the word Christmas - was no where to be found.
At K-Mart and Staples and Penny&#39;s and Sears
You won&#39;t hear the word Christmas; it won&#39;t touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive, Di-ver-is-ty
Are words that were used to intimidate me.
Now Daschle, Now Darden, Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather, on Kerry, on Clinton !
At the top of the Senate, there arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus, in all public matter.
And we spoke not a word, as they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak of salvation and grace
The true Gift of Christmas was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season, stopped before it started.
So as you celebrate &#39;Winter Break&#39; under your &#39;Dream Tree&#39;
Sipping your Starbucks, listen to me.
Choose your words carefully, choose what you say
Shout Jesus is Lord
not Happy Holiday!
Christ is The Reason for the Christ-mas Season!</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gop-1.blogspot.com/feeds/6325695458279329187/comments/default' title='Post

The following will serve as my last will and testament. I am dying. It will not be long now until I am gone. No doctor or politician has the ability to fix what is wrong with me. I leave to you nothing that I have not given already. I have given to you freedom yet you have chosen slavery. I have given to you liberty yet you have chosen tyranny. I have given you the ability to choose your own leaders but you have allowed the system to be high jacked leaving you no real choice at all. My passing is a direct consequence of your actions.
I have given you freedom, the freedom to choose the things that are best for you and your family. I have given you the freedom to worship as you please, the freedom to speak what you believe, to write what you see fit, to gather as you’d like and to speak up to any powers that would prohibit the above. The freedom to defend yourself and those you love against any and all who would seek to cause you harm, regardless of their position. I have given to you the freedom to peaceably live in your home without it being invaded by government officials either physically or through the means of technology. I have given you the right to due process of the law, a right dating back to the Magna Carta and the right to be judged by your peers. Most importantly I have given you the freedom to self-govern in whichever locality you choose to live.
In spite of these freedoms you have chosen slavery. Not slavery in the sense of chains and cages but a type much more nefarious. You have surrendered your ability to think for yourself and speak what you believe for you know not what it is that you believe in. You believe what you are told to believe and you think what has already been thought for you. You have surrendered your ability to defend yourselves because you believe that someone else can protect you. You have surrendered your ability to live peacefully in your own homes. Fear has caused you to openly welcome your would be protectors whenever they see fit to stop by. This same fear has led you to believe that you are safe while others simply disappear taken by a government that has your best interest at heart. These protectors do not care for your survival. They demand your loyalty. That is not freedom it is slavery and the most dangerous cage is that which you refuse to see.
I have given you liberty yet under the guise of equality you have chosen tyranny. You have the liberty to succeed or fail based on your own merit. Liberty is the ability to pursue your own happiness. If you fail to catch it you should try harder. Instead you choose to alter your definition of happiness and believe that those who have worked to catch theirs should supplement yours. You are not strong enough to succeed on your own so you choose leaders who promise to take from those who have. When the takers have taken too much and the givers have no more to give there will be bloodshed in the streets. Then you will know tyranny for you will no longer be useful to the tyrants who actively sought your allegiance. When you finally meet tyranny you will know misery and it will be too late.
I have given you principles yet you choose to ignore them. I have given you the resources to feed and warm hundreds of millions yet you choose to scoff at them. These are all choices that you have made but you have been lied to. You have been led to believe that there are only two choices when in reality you have been able to choose whatever and whoever you desire all along. The answer is not red or blue. The direction is not left or right. The answer is not forward or backwards. The answer is liberty and it can still be yours. I am 236 years old but I do not have to die. I am an idea and ideas can live forever. They just need to be rediscovered.
Yours truly,
The Constitution of the United States of America</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://gop-1.blogspot.com/feeds/2534964702158190300/comments/default' title='Post
