Getting It Right - Say "Merry Christmas" Loud and Clearly Every Chance You Get Christians across the nation need to unite and fight the growing secular progressive influence in our society.

By Sid Riley
This column presents a conservative viewpoint about items of interest in our community and our lives. Focus is on items impacting your pocket book, your personal freedoms, and your rights. I hope you will read the column regularly and it occasionally influences your opinions and actions. Now, on to the subject of the week:
"The liberal secular progressive movement is steadily working to erode the basic Christian foundation of our nation."
The far left liberal secular progressive movement is steadily and significantly impacting our society as they use our own laws as effective weapons against the Judean-Christian foundations of our government, our families, and our society. It is important that all religions in the United States of America recognize the presence of this anti-religious movement, and actively work to expose and resist the growing impact this atheistic attack is having on our country.
Using a multi-pronged onslaught which includes the ultra liberal ACLU to fight their legal battles, the brainwashing of our children on liberal college campuses by liberal educators, and using the constant bombardment of liberalism from the liberal media to sound their horns of protest, they collectively work against the religious foundations of our society at every opportunity. Out of fear of losing the votes of their constituency, out of fear of being sued, and out of fear of negative publicity, our bureaucracy and elected officials often respond to their demands.
It is this influence that has led to the increasing hesitation of many "politically correct" people to use the phrase of "Merry Christmas" when greeting a friend or a crowd. Many retail stores have removed all "Merry Christmas" signs and substituted "Happy Holidays". Even the bell ringers for the Salvation Army Christmas Fund have been expelled from several malls and store fronts because of their impact.
The Governor of the state Washington recently allowed a religion demeaning, atheistic display to be placed on State property. This display proclaimed that religion was a sham, there is no God, and people who follow and believe in religion are fools. Throughout the nation, various government boards, commissions, and officials have made the decision to ban nativity scenes from being displayed on any public property, and have discontinued the use of ‘Christmas" and begun to use such meaningless terms as "winter festival", "winterfest", and "holiday season".
These same liberal groups have impacted our society by substituting a "Big Brother" mentality into expanding our laws so that parents can no longer physically punish their children, young girls can have abortions without the system letting their parents know about it, our schools can teach evolution but can not mention creationism, and birth control pills and condoms can be given to our daughters and sons without our knowledge. This group promotes abortions and condones the horrible practice of "partial birth" abortion.
This same group has used our rights in the legal system to create a process where the interest of the criminal is put ahead of the needs of the victim. The process of requiring absolute correctness in every minute step of arrest, investigation, trial and conviction has made it almost impossible for law enforcement and prosecution to obtain a conviction in the courts because of evidence being disallowed or thrown out. Liberal judges are prevalent in the system due to lifetime appointments made by the liberal politicians who appointed liberal judges. Then a system of appeal after appeal after re-appeal all combine to bog down the system, inflate costs to the public, and effectively ruin the court system.
The steady brainwashing from this liberal secular progressive group has moved our society away from traditional family structures and values. We now casually accept out of wedlock births, premarital sex, males and females living together, …to a point where almost 50% of all children born in the US each year are illegitimate births, with no formal marriage of parents and definition of responsibilities for raising the child. Why worry? "Big Brother" will help raise them.
Millions of children are raised by mothers and/or grandmothers, with no father on the scene. With this type of family structure for guidance of our youth, how can we expect anything but a declining level of scholastic achievement in our society, increasing crime and use of drugs, and an amoral outlook on relationships. It all stems from the secular progressive liberals who now have a huge wedge of influence over our congress and President.
So, when you hear someone or see a retail store cleverly using the phrase "Happy Holidays", or "Season’s Greetings" instead of proclaiming "MERRY CHRISTMAS", walk out of the store after getting in their face and telling them of your disgust, or reply loudly with a resounding "MERRY CHRISTMAS YOU LIBERAL FREAK"! Do this and you will be "Getting It Right"!
Rudiments- Odds and Ends Worth Mentioning:
● Our great U.S. Congress in that ant hill of Washington incompetence just voted itself a big, hefty pay raise using our tax dollars for themselves in a desperate economy. Effective January 1 they will receive a $4700.00 pay increase, raising their base pay from $169,300 per year to $174,000 per year. They criticize CEO’s in the private sector for taking huge salaries when their company is failing…can’t they see the hypocrisy in what they are doing? How many of the incumbents did you vote to reelect?
● Caroline Kennedy has decided to seek the Senate seat vacated by Hillary. I read one excellent comment on the possibility of her becoming a Senator. The article stated that in America we are supposed to have no royalty, and no royal families. So if Princess Caroline Kennedy wants to be a Senator she should have to compete for it just like anyone else.
● It is Christmas. Please love your God, your nation, and your family. Then take time to express your love to them all. Do this, and you will be "Getting It Right".
