Twas two months before Christmas ... A true poem of America today ... and awfully sad cpommentary for our nation ... Thx Marge R & friends!

Twas two  months 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's feelings, the teachers would  say    December  25th is just a ' Holiday '.    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 &  Fonda.    As Target was hanging their trees upside  down At Lowe's  the word Christmas - was nowhere to be  found.    At K-Mart  and Staples and Penny's and  Sears You won't  hear the word Christmas; it won'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 'Winter Break' under your 'Dream  Tree'    Sipping  your Starbucks, listen to me.    Choose  your words carefully, choose what you  say    Shout  MERRY CHRISTMAS, not Happy  Holiday!  Please,  all Christians join together and wish  everyone you meet    MERRY  CHRISTMAS!    Christ is  The Reason for the Christmas  Season!
