[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 267946, member: 198"] So after all these years it's suddenly a crime to celebrate Christmas? Hmm....I'd say "PAST PRACTICE" comes to mind here. And believe me.....they maybe be saying, "[b]ANY[/b] religious symbols or religious words associated with Christmas," but we all know that Christmas is the main focus on the ban. And isn't it funny that the HUD representative said that if the residents hold a Christmas party there they direct them to not call it a Christmas Party but to call it a "Holiday" Party instead??? Hmm....I could have sworn the word Holiday comes from combining "[b]HOLY[/b]" and "day." Doesn't teach allegiance to a set of principles or moral code huh? LOL! If you read the pledge more closely you'll notice the part that says "under God." I have no problem admitting that I'm not that smartest man on the board but I do know that if someone is living "under God" then they most likely follow the teachings of the bible that represents their particular faith. And since this majority of the country are Christians I could use the Holy Bible as the example. Now if that isn't a perfect example of teachings of moral codes and principles then I don't know what is. Here is a little guide I found to help understand the meaning of the Pledge. "I pledge allegiance" (I promise to be true) "to the flag" (to the symbol of our country) "of the United States of America" (each state that has joined to make our country) "and to the Republic" (a republic is a country where the people choose others to make laws for them -- the government is for the people) "for which it stands," (the flag means the country) "one Nation" (a single country) "under God," (the people believe in a supreme being) "indivisible," (the country cannot be split into parts) "with liberty and justice" (with freedom and fairness) "for all." (for each person in the country...you and me!) The pledge says you are promising to be true to the United States of America! I agree but the problem is that many of the teachers aren't doing this. There are too many cases of biassed and false teachings of our own history. One example that sticks out in my mind is the teaching of the Civil War. And the schools are turning kids into panzies these days. I mean come on....."Sensitivity Classes" for bullies and their victoms??? LOL! [/QUOTE]
