In case you haven't noticed - its Christmas. The time of year when Christians, for two thousand years give or take a few, have celebrated the birth of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Even within Christianity there are those who do not celebrate Christmas and, of course, the non-Christian world does not. But about a billion Christians do and have always been joined in the celebratory part by non-Christian friends and neighbors. As well, countless non-Christians profit from the Christmas celebration by supporting it with various commercial activities like selling gift items and Christmas Trees - and good for them. Celebrating Christmas is no more harmful or offensive to non-Christians as is the celebration of Jewish or Muslim holidays to Christians. Yet it is primarily fallen away Christian's who are trying to suppress Christian practices. They should get over it and, instead, practice a little 'tolerance' on their own. And so -
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYBODY.

The Religion of Peace - Again
AP, 12/11/07, Baghdad
Religious vigilantes have killed at least 40 women so far this year in Basra because of how they dressed. Their mutilated bodies were found with notes warning against "violating Islamic teachings".
In nearby Saudi Arabia a young woman was sentenced to 200 lashes after being gang raped by 7 religious thugs for sitting in a car with a man who is not a relative of her's. Her original sentence was 90 lashes but was increased to 200 when whe appealed the 90.
In Sudan, a motherly British school teacher was sentenced to 3 months in jail plus 90 lashes for innocently allowing her 4th grade students to name a teddy bear Mohammed. She served some of her time in jail but got no lashes after being pardoned by Sudan's President after indignant outcries from around the world could not be ignored.
These are merely the latest from the religion of peace and tolerance. Allahu Akbar!

Blacks hurting Blacks
Rap & Hip Hop practitioners, damned if I’ll call them artists, use the foulest, most violent language in misogynistic and insulting ways towards women and condemn their country and law enforcement similarly. There is nothing wholesome or worthy about them or their message. They are merely laying more social land mines in the path of black youngster who already have tremendous disadvantages.
In the black community the ‘heroes’ you hear about are the athletes and assorted profane thugs like Ludacris, Dennis Rodman, Mike Tyson and charlatans for dollars such as Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. The real heroes you don’t hear much about are such thoughtful and influential people as Alan Keyes, Ward Connerly, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell and Shelby Steele. Other real heroes are the black women who are doing a nearly impossible job of making up for the mess resulting from the irresponsible black male hip hop culture. Are we supposed to think blacks are only marginally smart? How about such eminent scientists as Neil deGrasse Tyson and S. James Gates, Jr. These two men are on the leading edge of American Physics. How about the many black males in the various media who wear neck ties and speak modern English very well, thank you! Only a negligible per cent of black youths can ever hope to be millionaire athletes or entertainers but they could achieve success in other walks of life if they were properly led and inspired. Sadly, they lack the leadership to show them the way while the good men cited above are marginalized by black-as-victim activists as deeply flawed for trying to live white while they are actually just being the best they can be and, as well, they are proving that the sky is the limit.
