The unhappy politically correct people objecting to public offices being decorated and people saying "Merry Christmas" apparently are unaware they are denying me and the majority of the population our rights under the First Amendment to the Constitution, which not only says the government may not appoint a national religion, but it also says government may not interfere with any religion.
I am not celebrating Kwanzaa, the day of Buddha's birth or the coronation of a pope. It is Christmas. Those retailers who have instructed their employees not to wish customers "Merry Christmas" have just lost this customer.
These same PC people ignore the fact that our Supreme Court ruled in 1892 that the United States is a Christian nation. Too many of their recent decisions have been further and further off track, but that 1892 ruling still stands. So let's put some of our ancestors' beliefs back out in public and celebrate as Christians. If the Muslims and others object, let them. But I demand equal recognition of my beliefs.
