How the “Left” Stole Christmas
T’was the month before Christmas
When all through our land,
Not a Christian was praying
Nor taking a stand. Why the Politically Correct
Police had taken away,
The reason for Christmas –
No one could say.
The children were told
By their schools not to sing,
About Shepherds and Wise Men
And Angels and things.
Â
It might hurt people’s feelings,
The teachers would say
December 25thÂ
Is just a “Holiday”.
Â
Yet the shoppers were ready
With cash, checks and credit
Pushing folks down to the floor
Just to get it!
Â
CDs from Madonna,
An X BOX, an I-pod
Something was changing,
Something quite odd.
Retailers promotedÂ
Ramadan and Kwanzaa
In hopes to sell booksÂ
by Franken & Fonda.
Â
As Targets were hanging
Their trees upside down
At Lowe’s the word Christmas –
Was no where to be found.
Â
At K-Mart and Staples
Penny’s and Sears
You won’t hear the word Christmas;
It won’t touch your ears.
Inclusive, sensitive,
Di-ver-si-ty
Are words that were used
To intimidate me.
Â
Now Daschle, Now Darden,
Now Sharpton, Wolf Blitzen
On Boxer, on Rather,
On Kerry, on Clinton!
Â
At the top of the Senate,
There arose such a clatter
To eliminate Jesus,
In all public matter.
And we spoke not a word,
As they took away our faith
Forbidden to speak
Of salvation and grace.
The true Gift of Christmas
Was exchanged and discarded
The reason for the season,
Stopped before it started.
Â
So as you celebrate “Winter Break”
Under your “Dream Tree”
Sipping your Starbucks,
Listen to me.
Â
Choose your words carefully,
Choose what you say
Shout MERRY CHRISTMAS,
Not Happy Holiday!
