BSLs

     The Blue State Liberals (BSLs) are at it again. Having lost the White House, the Senate, The House, the Culture War, and most everything else, now they have decided to renew their assault against the Boy Scouts and Christmas. And they wonder why they lost in the 2004 elections?

     Their isn't much doubt that the foundations of this country as outlined in our most precious documents were heavily influenced by religion  –  the Deity. All you have to do is to read the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution plus the writings of our Founding Fathers. True, we hold to the idea of religious freedom,  which originally was based on guarantees against  biases among Protestants, Catholics and Jews. In 1776, nobody gave much thought to Hindus, Bhuddists, Muslims , Indian cultures, or manufactured religions like Scientology.  Nowadays, the BSLs denounce religion and seek equivalence for atheists and agnostics who deny the existence of the Deity  — by whatever name. So now the BSL secularists renew their attack on religion  — especially Christianity  — and all of the symbols that accompany religious belief at Christmas time.

     You have to hand it to Fox News and Bill O'Reilly who champion the cause in opposition to the secularist efforts. Again, the Blue State Liberals  do not want any parts of true democracy that seeks to find the will of the people; instead, they seek the support of left-leaning judges who are willing to impose their agenda on the rest of us. Personally, I am not an overly religious person, but I am a church attender and  I am mightily opposed to the BSL efforts to ban Christian observances at the Holiday Season. To me it isn't “Happy Holidays”, it is Merry Christmas  — and if the seculatists don't like it, that's just tough.

     Come to think about it, if the BSLs really want to advance the cause of Red State –Fly-Over–  America in the Culture Wars, they couldn't have picked a better example than attacking Christmas. Maybe the BSLs should have a big ceremony and celebrate the birthday of Michael Moore  — or maybe Whoopie Goldberg.  All that before stomping on the Boy Scouts.

     From a very early age I was influenced by a WW II saying, “There are no atheists in fox holes”. But the secularists sitting in their comfy offices and homes wouldn't know much about that, would they?
