Why are so many people troubled by this video? Because it excludes others? You tell me how a Christmas wish from a Christian at a Christian holiday can include other religions.
Is it political? Well sure it is. It's being run and paid for by a political campaign for a candidate running for President. Is that wrong? I'm a liberal and I'm not convinced it is. I think it's a message that is true and sincere. We can't have it both ways as we so often like to do in America. Either we embrace the true meaning of the Christian holiday of Christmas or we don't.
President Bush is a Christian. His Christmas message from last year was to shop. Bruce and his staff are working extended holiday hours so everyone can have that perfect gift under their tree. If the employees are not sick by Christmas then they're so exhausted that they'll be lucky if they even want to get up Christmas morning.This is how we honor HIM who many of us say is more important than anything else. This is the day we also show love and gratitude to others important to us as well, our men and women in uniform protecting our "rights" and those that were killed in service to our country including those on September 11, 2001. This is a season to show them "how we never forget."
Come On...Cut the crap.....When we're out there buying those gifts let's be honest about who it is we're really making happy at this Christmas Season.
Oh and don't forget those too... that get sick and tired trying.
