Some demand that PC language be enforced with politically correct culture extremism. If you do not you will be called a bigot, a racist, expelled from schools or suspended from your job.
Apparently some want Free Speech controlled by them, the some.

The effect of this became deadly recently in San Bernadio. A neighbor of the Islamic Extremist Terrorists notice strange activities at their home but chose not to call the FBI in fear of being labeled an “islamaphobe” and accused of “profiling”.

Not too long a go the Mayor of Houston, a homosexual, demanded that some pastors who were against homosexuality and following their faith submit and sermons regarding homosexuality to her office for review and editing prior to giving the sermons.

Merry Christmas

That was over a year ago and has blown over. It was a little bit more complicated that you say. Here is link for you to attack the source and not read, and maybe, learn something. 😛

That is what our forefathers founded the land on, to be one nation, not divided, that provided justice for everyone and upheld the laws that God handed down.

Ah, um, well, actually...

Never mind.

Never mind.

Smartest post on the WP.

A school principal has banned Santa, Thanksgiving and the Pledge of Allegiance at her school in Brooklyn, replacing it with other festivals. Instead of Thanksgiving they will have Harvest Festival, instead of Christmas they will have Winter Celebrations.

Sounds like a reasonable solution. This looks like someone trying to figure out a good way to accommodate a bunch of different cultures. This is not an attack on religion.

What is disturbing though is to not allow children to have their pledge of allegiance to this country affirming their oath to a land based on God. That is what our forefathers founded the land on, to be one nation, not divided, that provided justice for everyone and upheld the laws that God handed down.

"Under God" was added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, as a response to the Communist Threat. Hardly a sacred mandate from our forefathers.

The Pledge of Allegiance was not an idea from our precious "forefathers". The Pledge was originally published in 1892 BY A SOCIALIST !!! A minister named Francis Bellamy. Over a century after the nation was formed. And not a whisper about any gods.

Here's the original pledge salute before it was changed to hand over heart:

Thank you Brer Rabbit. I've known this for decades. Today people think that removing the word "God" from governmental institutions robs them somehow of their right to practice a religion. When in actuality the people responsible for inserting "under God" into the pledges were the folks taking freedom away from Americans.

wow! It's true, and even more weird is this, that the stiff arm Roman salute was an invention of 18th and 19th century French painters, was adopted by our pledgewriter Bellamy, who was a protonazi National Socialist... and the use of the stiffarm was adopted a few decades later by Mussolini and Hitler.

The Pledge of Allegiance is a godless Nazi ritual !!!! Go figure.

Unt to zee Republik, for vitch it stants, VUN NATION, UNTER GOTT, INTIVISSIPLE, MIT LIPAHTEE UNT CHUSTISS, FOR ALLES!!!!!!!

Francis Bellamy was a Nazi ! hahaha, wow, curiouser and curiouser...

from Rex Curry, etymologist, website: http://rexcurry.net/roman-salute-oxford-english-dictionary.html

The original Pledge of Allegiance began with a military salute that then stretched out toward the flag. Historic photographs are at http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html and at http://rexcurry.net/pledge_military.html In actual use, the second part of the gesture was performed with a straight arm and palm down by children extending the military salute while perfunctorily performing the forced ritual chanting. Professor Curry showed that, due to the way that both gestures were used sequentially in the pledge, the military salute led to the hard, stylized salute of German socialists. The Nazi salute is an extended military salute via the pledge. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

Francis Bellamy (author of the "Pledge of Allegiance") and Edward Bellamy (author of the novel "Looking Backward") and Charles Bellamy (author of "A Moment of Madness") and Frederick Bellamy (who introduced Edward to socialistic "Fourierism") were socialists. Edward, Charles and Frederick were brothers, and Francis was their cousin. Francis and Edward were both self-proclaimed National Socialists and they supported the "Nationalism" movement in the USA, the "Nationalist" magazine, and the "Nationalist Educational Association." They wanted to nationalize everything and they wanted all of society to ape the military and they touted "military socialism" and the "industrial army." Edward inspired the "Nationalist Party" (in the USA) and their dogma influenced socialists worldwide (including Germany) via “Nationalist Clubs.” http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-edward-german-connections.html The Pledge was the origin of the Nazi salute

The whole "Roman Salute" thing is a total crock! I love history!

That photo looks like it was taken at The Democrat National Convention.

Here's a pick from the RNC.

The a$$ is the symbol of the Democrat Party.

April 30, 1789 at St. Paul's Chapel which is at Ground Zero in New York City (where the World Trade Center Towers came down) George Washington, our first President, the US Senate and US House of Representative members stood and bowed their heads in prayer consecrating this nation to God. America was committed to God on the corner of what is now Ground Zero. New York City was the capital at that time. The Stock Exchange was established there also.

From The Harbinger, by Rabbi Jonathan Cahnm The Mystery Ground Chapter.

David Barton uncovered documents from The New York Daily Advisor April 23, 1789. He has a blog called Constitutional Convention.

http://davidbartonwallbuilders.typepad.com/blog/david-barton/

"After appointing the proper subordinate officers and having ordered that the doors should be kept open the business of the Convention opened every morning with prayer. On the recommendation of Mr. Paul Carrington, the Rev. Abner Waugh was unanimously elected chaplain, to attend every morning to read prayers immediately after the bell shall be rung for calling the Convention. Furthermore, in some States the ratification convention was held in a church. Clearly, the proceedings of both the Constitutional Convention and the ratification conventions provide further organic utterances that the Framers not only supported, but even participated in both public religious activities and public endorsements of religion.

Under the Constitution Practices of the Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary On April 6, 1789, following the ratification of the Constitution, George Washington was selected President; he accepted the position on April 14, 1789; and his inauguration was scheduled in New York City the nation’s capital for April 30, 1789. The April 23 New York Daily Advertiser reported on the planned inaugural activities: On the morning of the day on which our illustrious President will be invested with his office, the bells will ring at nine o’clock, when the people may go up to the house of God and in a solemn manner commit the new government, with its important train of consequences, to the holy protection and blessing of the Most high. An early hour is prudently fixed for this peculiar act of devotion and is designed wholly for prayer.

On April 27, three days before the inauguration, the Senate: Resolved, That after the oath shall have been administered to the President, he, attended by the Vice President and members of the Senate and House of Representatives, proceed to St. Paul’s Chapel, to hear Divine service. The day before the inauguration, the House approved the same resolution; and the next day April 30th after being sworn-in, George Washington delivered his “Inaugural Address” to a joint session of Congress.

In it, Washington declared: It would be peculiarly improper to omit, in this first official act, my fervent supplications to that Almighty Being who rules over the universe, who presides in the councils of nations, and whose providential aids can supply every human defect. No people can be bound to acknowledge and adore the Invisible Hand which conducts the affairs of men more than those of the United States. "

We started out as a nation consecrated to God.

I thought we were discussing the Pledge of Allegiance. Originally a godless Nazi socialist devil worship chant, god added in 1954.

As far as "Santa" goes, what does that have to do with religion, other than the obvious and glaring fact that santa is an anagram for satan? Satan Claws, the hooks of greed and materialism. Banning satan from schools? That's religious discrimination, they should allow Black Mass on the playground!

And banning Thanksgiving? If that is religious persecution we will need Dr. Carl Jung to enlighten us as to the sacred symbolism of turkeys and squash. Personally I don't want to go that deep.

Here's the original pledge salute before it was changed to hand over heart:

No, he's not. I was kinda spooked when i found out about the early salute, but it's real.

C'mon, it's obvious that's a Hitler Youth camp, someone just photoshopped in the American Flag. The fake shadow gives it away. The flag has a shadow one way, and the little ziegheiler stiffarms don't have shadows. Which means there would have to be two different sources of light.

I really don't think our pledge of allegiance was a Nazi, socialist, devil worshipping chant. Most peoples of individual countries do have an oath to their country by virtue of their citizenship.

As for Santa, originally theire was someone named Saint Nicholas who helped make it possible for some girls to be married. He provided the dowries so that they would be able to marry. The church latched onto it and distorted the original history of the wise men brining gifts to honor Jesus and his birth till it became as it is today, people give each other gifts and celebrate with food, drink, comraderie. Little if any thought is given to Jesus except by the youth who go to midnight mass and rutialistically then go to a bar afterwards and get drunk to welcome in the New Year.

Thanksgiving has been a traditional time where people sit down to a common meal and put whatever differences they have to the side to be with their relatives or others. It is usually a time of good food and peace. Why should the teacher ban traditions of this country?

To ban Christmas is an affront to Christianity. The principal thinks it is more correct to not acknowledge any religions, if that were done on a national basis it would be like kicking God out of the country. Why aren't people allowed to learn what he said and gave to the different people's?
