Diversity?

We’ve all been pummeled by the two holy words of the extreme left for decades now: Diversity and Tolerance. By now, most of us know that what they really mean is ‘accept what we deem diverse and tolerate our views’, but there is no reciprocation.

However, it’s oddly ironic how the holy concepts of Diversity and Tolerance are suspended for the Christmas season.

If Tolerance was truly something that every American subscribed to, not just demanded by PC leftists, there would be ultimate tolerance for Christmas, wouldn’t there? After all, we’re told that we should be tolerant of others and their views so as to not offend them.

Unless you’re Christian. Christian views are not to be tolerated.

Then there is the celebration of Diversity. We are told that to be a proper citizen, we must rejoice in other cultures and their customs. Frankly, I don’t have a problem with that because I’ve always thought and acted that way without a pointed head telling me to.

But I despise the hypocrisy of the left and their claims of celebrating diversity.

Consider: if you truly believe in Diversity, would you not celebrate each of the seasonal holidays separately in order to Celebrate the Diversity of each Culture?

No one truly interested in “Diversity” would lump three (or four or however many holidays have been “discovered” at Christmas time) fundamentally different holidays into the “Holiday Season” unless it was purposefully intent on ERASING diversity…at least erasing Christian Culture.

Truly, the PC crowd is caught with their pants around their ankles on this. You can’t have diversity while simultaneously trying to expunge one culture from the environment.

If we only had a press that actually asked questions, such as “why the hypocrisy?” instead of just publishing the latest poll data….


CHRISTMAS SCORECARD

Unfortunately, I have to put a store on the HUMBUG list that I like. In fact, I just spent $191 starting a project there last week. But…they won’t be getting any more money during the Christmas Season.

You may remember from my first post that nothing chaps my ass more than substituting “Holiday” for “Christmas” when the use is specific to Christmas, and excludes any other “holiday”.

Well, HOME DEPOT is up to it again. You may remember a few years ago, they ran a newspaper ad advertising “Holiday Trees.” They were inundated with complaints and retracted it saying it was a “typo”. Uh huh.

Well, they’ve made another typo this year, and the strange coincidence is, IT’S THE SAME TYPO!

This year, we are treated to “Holiday Tree Safety” tips.

Now, help me here…which holiday is it that has a tree?

Hmmm…I haven’t see a Kwanza Tree lot. My Jewish friends have never shown me their Chanukah tree.

Could it be CHRISTMAS?

Yes, Mr. or Ms. Home Depot, it is a CHRISTMAS TREE, not a “holiday tree”. Take a look:




CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
On the other hand I am PLEASED AS PUNCH to tell you that Home Depot’s chief competitor, LOWE’S recognized and promotes CHRISTMAS and CHRISTMAS SHOPPING.

They actually call themselves “Your Christmas Destination.”

Where are the complaints? Where are the lawsuits???

It looks like I’ll be finishing my project and buying additional lights at LOWE’S, not Home Depot.
