Karen Kwiatkowski, again. This time in her own words, from
LewRockwell.com, about Christmas, Christianity, and fascism. The entire article is well worth reading.
Christmas is
a Christian celebration, but it is truly something that should be
celebrated each day, in peace, in forbearance, in humble joy and
gratefulness for God’s love, His generosity and His guidance. I’d
like to think that we Christians might someday be able to show that
Gandhi was wrong about us – that we do indeed follow the Prince
of Peace in our daily lives, in our relationships at home and at
work, and through our participation in politics. It is impossible
for a true Christian to cheer war, to celebrate death, disease,
destruction and poverty, to wish ill on others. It is downright
devilish for Christians to claim their faith while exalting human
governments that seek war on the basis of lies, that sow fear and
loathing in the name of empire or government survival, and governments
that would steal the very future from their own children in the
name of patriotism. All I want for Christmas is a glimpse of real
Christianity, in our lives and in our politics... [Emphasis added]
God
knows what we need even before we ask Him, so I’ve been taught.
That being the case, maybe I should see to it that I love liberty
more passionately. I’ll add a grain of pure courage to my morning
coffee, and I will try to think more independently, and step away
from the party lines. I’ll see if I can live my Christianity in
a more honest way. All that would make for a lovely Christmas, and
it would be more than enough.
But Santa,
if there is room for one more gift, please give me the opportunity
to vote Ron Paul for President
in 2012. Merry Christmas, America!
One more good reason she should be Vice President (if not President) of the United States!
