"Merry Christmas to all!"Blurts the RNC official Christmas message. and the expanding ripples of unanswered questions expand outward. Is this the kind of message that an inclusive political party about to take over the reigns of the USA should be sending or is this a somehow mislabeled missive from the Vatican?
"Over two millennia ago, a new hope was born into the world, a Savior who would offer the promise of salvation to all mankind. Just as the three wise men did on that night, this Christmas heralds a time to celebrate the good news of a new King. We hope Americans celebrating Christmas today will enjoy a day of festivities and a renewed closeness with family and friends."
Questions and more questions: Are we talking about a king of the United States? Why do we have a political party making historically unfounded statements of faith, supporting sectarian mythology as truth and a mythology that does not represent American citizens as a whole?
I'm sorry, you've been calling an unfulfilled ancient myth "good news" for longer than CNN hangs on to "breaking news" and there has been no new king of a united Hebrew Nation since Solomon and there is and never has been a king of the world. Sorry Leo and sorry for the rest of us: those who don't celebrate a holiday Christians have often banned and which has it's roots in pagan mythologies and department store lobbies are Americans and voters too and our rights protected under a Constitution that forbids kings as well as State religions.
And sorry RNC, a party worthy of the name would wish good tidings to all Americans not just those who celebrate a dressed up pagan holiday. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and not claiming you're comparing Trump to Jesus although a clarification and assurance is in order. Isn't it funny though, how often the things you say and do have to be explained away like the contradictions in the Bible? Contradictions such as the fact there is no mention of Three wise men?
As a literate person, should I be further insulted by a Sunday School, Bible Stories for Children version of the story? No matter, the horror of watching the first secular democratic republic become the first to fall to barbarians overwhelms all else.
I read two related articles. I felt at once very angry as well as ill.
ReplyDeleteBluntly put, it made me want to vomit.
My hope? Priebus and the RNC, by issuing this pathetic greeting will open the eyes of millions who have for whatever reason closed not only their eyes but their minds as well to the growing evil that is Trump and the RNC.
I just hope that if and when America does wake up it won't be too late to do something about it.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a good christmas. I hope the next one will bring us more hope
I wonder how many lazy, clueless voters are sitting in their chairs stunned at what they have done. This includes some of my own family members and while I love my family, I can't help but be angry at their inept, ill-informed disasterous choice in voting this rat bastard into the White House with all his creepy kids.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you giving them the benefit of doubt. As usual, this was a calculated statement with the intent of instigating further divisiveness between us. They deny later, knowing fully that the seed of the statement is planted and already growing. My gut feeling is...it's already too late.
ReplyDeleteIt's been the party of rat bastards, shitweasels and psychotics for years. This is the party that told us in more than one national convention that our number one problem is pornography. It's the party that's opposed secularism and secular law for decades. This is only one more small step towards a theocratic plutocracy.
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR to all!
