Good Holiday Spirit

  • Politics

The Case of Political Correctness vs. Frosty the Snowperson

There have been numerous articles and news shows of late regarding our impending holiday season, specifically I refer to the attacks of Christmas; which include, the renaming of the White House "Christmas Tree" to the "Holiday Tree;" and , the need or certain organizations and groups to remove Nativity Scenes from the public eye. Most of these rationales (or attacks) have been justified out of fear of the intertwining of the Church and State, and of the necessity to politically correct some of our more time honored traditions. 

Isn't it bad enough were hit with the "Christmas Spirit"  in mid August from the retail industry promoting their latest wares all decked out with tinsel and the sounds of "Jingle Bell" blaring in the background ? Now Target is kicking the Salvation Army to the other side of the curb? 

Bah Humbug!

If, so many feel the need to correct more of our values and traditions; (I think Christmas is a tradition), I'd like to take this opportunity to add more fuel to the politically correct Yule time fire. To this end: How is Frosty the Snowman only portrayed as a white snowman?  Why is Frosty not portrayed with a different colored skin tone? Why aren’t there brown snowmen, or black snowman...? Furthermore, why hasn't Frosty be remade and renamed Frosty the Snowperson? Santa Claus too, does not seem to support the hiring of female elves in the workshop, nor do I see any female deer leading Santa's team. I am hopeful the NAACP and NOW will soon take up arms against these exclusions soon. I plan on personally email them in the New Year to voice my concerns.

Kind of silly huh...? So is what is going on in our country these days. 

While I realize that Santa Claus and Frosty the Snowman are not by-products of the Church, these politically charged attacks of late, by such narrow minded individuals and organizations are just making me sick. Trust me, I am not a staunch Pro-Christmas  or Pro Religious kind of guy, but I think we need to start to put the brakes on somewhere.

The need for the separation of Church and State by our Founding Fathers was to insure that there was no officially state - run organized religion. That's it. Nothing rocket science. There is nothing up Ben Franklin's sleeve. (That's for those of you who may have skipped out the lectures from History 101).

When I studied constitutional law and theory, I was taught that there always has been an intertwining between the Church and State. There is no true separation. If there were, as an example, Churches would not be required to report to the IRS for their tax exempt status. As another example, the State (our prosecutors), could not arrest nor charge priests with criminal actions (a very hot topic in today's news). 

I do have one thought for the politically correct-literal interpreting separatists though. If there is a genuine and legitimate concern for a true separation of Church and State, I would suggest in the upcoming year the next quest should incorporate the exemption of Churches from reporting to the IRS their income and Non Profit status.

Oops that would mean there would be no more tax write off's for the donors... that’s okay though.  

That would mean the priests that are currently serving time in prison for statutory rape, should be immediately released as well. That’s okay too... just making certain during confessionals, there is a proper escort for your children.

There can be no true separation of Church and State without foregoing one aspect of our society over the other. So let’s quit trying. Why don’t we just let men (and women too) celebrate the spirit of Christmas in their own manners and in their own hearts… "

God help us everyone... (sorry, God Bless us everyone)
