I miss those days, when holidays were a special time and you got that special feeling. I don't get that feeling anymore. I still enjoy the day with my family (minus 1 sister but thats a whole other story,wish she could get over it for my moms sake) and we have a wonderful time. Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas day. Even the Christmas specials on TV have lost something that I used to look forward to every year. What happened to the cheerful Merry Christmas wishes and no one got offended be they atheist, Jew,Muslum, etc... even if they were of a different religion you got at least a smile and nod and well wish in return.
The ACLU was a good thing at first but has gotten way out of hand. I think there should be prayer in school and Under God in the pledge, that makes no distinction as to whos God it just says Under God same goes for In God We Trust. We Know the God that it was intended to mean but it doesn't actually designate that. Back when I went to school where I lived it started with the Jahovas Witness who refused to say the Pledge but were still required to stand and show respect. To me nothing wrong with that as it is still respected where the problem starts is when things are not respected no matter whos things. I do not try and dictate what they say think or do and they should return the favor. This country should stop catering to the minority and when they complain offer a plane ticket anywhere else in the world they want to go and tell them if they wish to stay then deal with our culture. We are and English speaking country, our country was based on Christian beliefs and a live and let live ideal. So it is high time we start to live and let live and stop trying to take holidays (among other things) away from those who celebrate them or believe in them. They can go believe in what ever they want I don't care and if they were to wish me happy Krishna day or what ever I wouldn't be offended. I would give the nod and smile as I would expect them to do if I wish them Merry Christmas. I think it's time to get rid of afirmative action and curb the ACLU to a certain extent.
