Happy Holidays?

America. Land of the Free, welcoming anyone and everyone. Tolerent of beliefs and cultures of all nations and ... wait a minute. What happened here? All of the sudden I feel like I'm being smacked in the back of the head by God for typing a lie.

You know, this country was created so that we could be our own people. So that people could come, do as they please, worship as they wanted, say what they wished and could be the happy little people that they wanted to be without being disturbed.

Now we're turning into a black and white society so that we don't step on anyone elses toes. I can't even say Merry Christmas anymore! This is complete bullcrap. This country was BUILT on the intentions and freedoms of God, and now I can't even say a word related to Christ because some freaking budist or satanic is going to be "Offended" when I put baby Jesus and a Nativity scene on my lawn.

Everyone needs to just calm down, and wake up. By all rights and means, I understand if you don't want me to force a religion upon you, or a belief. I'm not here to do that, but by no means do you have the right to tell me to hide it. I am sick and tired of everyone else wanting this place to turn into a friggin log cabin, brown wearing site "Because the stone offends the dwarves, and wearing red will offend the whores."

The world is going to Hell, and America is standing right at the gates knocking, showing everyone the way. Don't get me wrong, I love America. I love living here, I love the land, I'd defend it to the end... however, I HATE the way America is run. I hate the way people act in it, I hate the way people treat me in it, and I hate the fact that I can't do a darn thing about it other than type in a freaking blog about it.

Well guess what people, you may get offended... but I'm always going to say "In God I Trust" and "Merry Christmas". I'm not going to put my bible in my closet just because you haven't read it, or believe in it. And if you don't like it, and want to tell me the million and one reasons why I'm wrong for believing what I believe, then I'll tell you the one reason I'm right. You don't want to hear it? Don't start talking about it in the first place.

I'm done.

  I totally Agree with your Drewness. I also LOVE america i am a Texas girl born and raised proud but as of late with all this cutting God and jesus out of everything its making me sick. I mean target wont let salvation army or any of those orginazations stand outside of their store and wal mart wont allow their employees to say Merry Christmas I mean thats all crap. I also do not belive in being a bible pusher but I mean they should not shove us in closets because of what we belive in I mean could you imagine the fit of some of these other religions if they werent aloud to pray or wear their gowns everywhere and Whatever they want to do. I have no problem with any of that at all as long as people do not sit there and try to put a stop to the way we feel or think or what we say and do. I mean truly we are not hurting anyone so whats the problem? I belive its partly a power trip I mean one thing they have no control over really or well use to have no control over was peoples beliefs in God. But anymore you just dont know.

Oh this little post may have focused on religion, but I'm talking about everything in general. We don't curse on TV/Radio as not to offend people. We don't play loud music in the streets as not to disturb others. We don't wear certen things around certen people as not to offend them. We don't display a Nativity scene as not to offend people. This crap is seriously getting sick.

I'll tell you one thing. When sheep get offended that I'm wearing thier cousin's hair for underwear, or cows get ticked that I'm wearing thier dad's skin for a jacket, I'm still going to do it. I have common understanding and courtesy for some things... but others are completely bullcrap.

There was a man about 2 years ago who tried getting the Pledge of Alegance taken out of school because it said God in it. Now shouldn't that tell you something? This country was FOUNDED on God.. and people are trying to take it away. Trying to make us forget one of the things that our Forefathers took so greatly into thier hearts.

Anyway, this guy, after failing, admitted to only trying to take it out so that his name could be in a history book, or a newspaper... so his daughter would have someone famous as a father. He wasn't offended, he was trying to get his name known. I wonder how many other times this has happened, and they succeeded? How much crap does the government say I have to hide just because someone wanted to get thier jollies and 15 minutes of fame?

Madeline O'Hara's body was entirely mutilated by some psychotic killer.  Each of her limbs were chopped off one by one... The guy took her eyeballs out.. Done a bunch of other crap... While she was still alive (Or so the story's told. My cousin told me a buch a crap about something he and my mother saw on the History Channel a while back.) Anyway.. God has a way of getting his revenge on the person who took him out of public schools, don't ya think? And I think the others have something coming for them, too.

First off, that was not an action of God. God cannot prevent acts of evil from happening, but he most certenly does not put them into motion himself.

Where was God, you ask, during this poor girls torture?

Same place he was when his own son was being nailed to a whipped, tortured, nailed to a cross, and stuck with a spear, as I would expect him to be if I was going through the same thing.
