Non-Specific Holiday Greetings from Repansycan Central!

White House defends Christmas-less card
'It's a time when we welcome all different faiths'

The card features a snowy scene of the South Portico by artist Jamie Wyeth, a quotation from Psalm 28, and the message: "With best wishes for a holiday season of hope and happiness 2005."

"Junk mail," said Joseph Farah, editor of the conservative Web site WorldNetDaily.com, who added that he tossed his White House card into the trash. "The Bushes have been tiptoeing around Christmas for five years. It's nothing new."
What bothers many conservatives is the creeping sense that Christ is no longer welcome at Christmas in America. "Bush is falling victim to a cultural phenomenon," Mr. Farah said.

Not so, says the White House.

"It's a time when we welcome all different faiths," said Susan Whitson, press secretary to Mrs. Bush. "The president has an obligation to acknowledge that."

No, he does not. If he wants to send Ramadan greetings at Ramadan, that's fine and dandy. But Christmas is not a non-denominational buying season designed to help merchants. It is the celebration of The Word Incarnate, the beginning of the redemption and salvation of the human race by the One, True God.

All politicians are just politicians, kiddies. They can't help but be weenies. It's the only way they can win.
