    De-Christianizing America

    Let me start by saying that I am a big supporter of religious freedom and feel that anyone should be able to practice whatever religion they believe in. 

    However, I am disappointed in the way this country's recent policy's on being 'PC' (politically correct).  We can't say "Merry Christmas" anymore as it may offend people who don't celebrate it.  Instead of Christmas trees, we now have Holiday trees.  This is going too far in my opinion. 

    Our country was founded on Christian/ Judeo beliefs and values.  You can find references to God in almost every founding document of this country.  We have "In God We Trust" printed on our currency.  Now we are too afraid to express anything that may be viewed as religious in our government.  When people come to this country, it should be an accepted fact that there will be some Christian values and referrences in the government.  These were the founding values of this great country. We allow you to express/practice your religion.  Let us practice ours and be proud of it.

    How true...
    It's getting a bit ridiculous... in all regards.
    Religion- Merry Christmas is considered offensive.
    Gender- "You look nice" is considered harrassment
    Family - If a dad kisses his daughter as he drops her off to school, CPS investigates molestation, but if a mom does it, she is supportive and caring.

    I should be able to tell a co-worker they look nice.
    I should be able to say Merry Christmas.
    I should be able to kiss my niece goodbye without an investigation.

    What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
    What happened to the Great American Melting Pot?
    What happened to freedom of speech and religion?

    ok, I'm done. :-)
