I wish.

I really do.

As I type we have 22 minutes of Christmas left in the UK. I doubt very
much that in that remaining 22 minutes we'll learn the true message of
Christmas...

...Oh well, perhaps next year.

BOND Says 'No' to Kwanzaa! Launches 'Merry Christmas!' Not 'Happy
Kwanzaa!' Campaign

To: National Desk

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Reverend Jesse Lee
Peterson, author of the book, SCAM: How the Black Leadership Exploits
Black America, which was just released in paperback, is
trying to educate Americans that Kwanzaa (celebrated Dec. 26- Jan. 1)
is not a legitimate holiday, it is a platform for racial hatred which
was started in America by a Marxist ex-con who served four years in
prison for torturing two women.

"Kwanzaa is not a legitimate holiday; it is a subversive black
nationalist movement designed to create racial separatism and hatred.
It is one of the biggest scams being perpetrated on black Americans,"
says
Rev. Peterson.

In 1966, Ron Karenga, the leader of United Slaves Organization, a
Marxist "black power" group, created Kwanzaa to help blacks get in
touch with their African roots.

Rev. Peterson says, "Marxist Karenga's Kwanzaa celebration is really a
banquet of socialism, worship of false gods and Afrocentrism. The
Kwanzaa pledge of allegiance is a perfect example of racial hatred
and black separatism:

"We pledge allegiance to the red, black and green, our flag, the symbol
of our eternal struggle, and to the land we must obtain; one nation of
black people, with one God of us all, totally united in the struggle,
for black love, black freedom and black self-determination."

Rev. Peterson adds, "This is not a celebration of African harvest; it
is a political statement for the establishment of a black nation and
racial hatred against whites."

According to the BOND website, Karenga explained the holiday as
follows: "People think it's African but it is not. I came up with
Kwanzaa because black people wouldn't celebrate it if they knew it was
American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that's when a
lot of Bloods would be partying."

Kwanzaa has been widely promoted in our culture; President George W.
Bush even issued a proclamation celebrating Kwanzaa in 2002.

Rev. Peterson points out, "Most whites are fearful of telling the truth
about Kwanzaa because they're labeled racist, anti-black and
intolerant. Hate-filled men like Ron Karenga have used this bogus
holiday to
bash Christmas and preach anti-white views. The 'Merry Christmas!' Not
'Happy Kwanzaa!' Campaign is designed to expose the falsehoods of
Kwanzaa and defend the celebration of Christmas."

Campaign, please visit the BOND website at www.bondinfo.org

You, goof! You'd wish a Pagan a Blessed Solstice or Merry Yule or Happy
Saturnalia. The *X* in Xmas is just Greek for Christos. Xmas is modern
shorthand for Christmas, it doesn't in any way take Jesus out of the
mix or belittle the religion. Sheesh. I'm amazed at how many Xians
don't know that.

Blessed solstice to you and yours then. Go
skyclad and let your freak flag fly, baby!

Thank the gods for me for letting the days get
longer again. May your crops be fertile and
may your sheepskin chaps go unstained for
many moons...

I did not google, I knew the term. I was reminded of it the other day
when I was behind a car with a "skyclad, the only way to fly" sticker.

I've read up on your religion but it's been a long time.

I don't know, perhaps she enjoys when Matt "dresses up".

The funny thing is I only mentioned it because of some goofball
comedy I saw as a kid where "the pagans" showed up for a
celebration and it was a bunch of people running around in
sheepskin chaps and viking helmets. If I could remember more
details I guarantee some of you would remember the movie. It
had a couple big names in it like John Candy or Dan Akroyd.

Now when I hear pagans mentioned I can't help but see this image
first before logic kicks in and I see a biker gang...

Then I slap myself and see TR1 telling me to knock it off.

Wow, it was Dragnet? I was older than I thought.

I seem to recall they rapped for the theme song. Hanks says
"A Tower of Power!" at one point.

Chuck Norris has never rapped. Any rhymes are unintentional.

Oh. My. Gawd.

Unbelievable... I'm speechless.

More evidence the internet is supreme for mortifying the people around
you.

Wow, you'd think that Tom Hanks with all this "Hollywood Muscle" would
have had this thing suppressed.  I'm sure when he views this now he must
feel the same way I do when the parents run the old Super 8 movies of my
childhood Christmas plays.  Yikes.
