How The "Left" Stole Christmas

(Not my text. Received in the e-mail.)

It was the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand.

See 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 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 Targets and Wal-Mart were hanging their trees upside down,
At Lowe's the word Christmas - was no where 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-si-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 to all, not happy holiday!
