As a Canadian What Does Christmas Mean To You?

There are two very different camps of thought on this question.
The First Camp
The Maker of the universe
As man for man was made a curse;
The claims of laws, which He had made,
Unto the uttermost He paid.
His holy fingers made the bough
Which grew the thorns that crowned His brow,
The nails that pierced His hands were mined
In secret places He designed.
He made the forests whence there sprung
The tree on which His body hung.
He died upon a cross of wood,
Yet made the hill on which it stood.
The sky that darkened o’er His head
By Him above the earth was spread;
The sun that hid from Him its face
By His decree was poised in space.
The spear that spilled His precious blood
Was tempered in the fires of God.
The grave in which His form was laid
Was hewn in rock His hands had made.
The throne on which He now appears
Was His from everlasting years;
But a new glory crowns His brow,
And every knee to Him shall bow. – F.W. Pitt
If you are in the camp of believers, like I am, which this poem identifies, then read on to see how you differ from The Second Camp.
I celebrate Christmas, which is the major traditional holiday time for Canadians. Because not everyone celebrates it, I am told, as a native-born Canadian, by the multicultural-promoting portion of the population and by the recent arrivals to this country of the second camp that I can no longer say, “Merry Christmas”. It is deemed to be politically incorrect, and therefore, I must use the term, “Season’s Greetings” so that I do not offend them.
As a Canadian, who has bent over backwards to not offend anyone, I suddenly find myself becoming very offended with no one to come to my defense among the lawmakers and judges. No one respects my rights, which are deeply rooted in the heritage of all true Canadians who desire to see Canada recognized as the nation it is intended to be in liberty under the supremacy of God. This is the nature of our heritage, which is founded in His Law and His truth, which also gives me my liberty from the religious dictators of this world.
The liberal door of immigration has opened to a multicultural group, which insists that I, as a Canadian, must adapt to the cultures of the group, rather than they to mine. They want their former customs transplanted into Canada, so that the nation will no longer exist as was intended at Confederation. But then, we can’t blame it all on them, for it was our own Prime Minister, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who brought in the Charter of Rights under the very eyes of Canadians who did nothing to stop it. We were blinded to the fact that it would open the door to minority ruler-ship, while at the same time stripping the majority of their rights to rule by the vote. We allowed his Liberal government to put one over on us, as it ultimately opened the door for treasonous acts to become the norm.
Are we Canadians not sick to death of worrying about whether or not we are offending these cultures, which are being transplanted into our midst, and for the most part, are violent by nature? There was a surge in patriotism by the majority of Canadians, after the attack of 9/11 but the dust had barely settled, when the politically correct crowd began to complain and gripe again. It was a little bit too much like American patriotism for them and it was an offense to those who wanted all the benefits that Canada had to offer in liberty, but they just didn’t want to be numbered among its patriotic people.
So our judges, now chosen for their biases, began to monkey with the laws, which were not theirs to monkey with. They were only supposed to apply them in a judicial manner that correlated with the Law of our supreme Ruler, and in accordance with His Word, which is the rule for truth in the land. That is why the Bible is the legal book for all America, upon which we are required to swear, in accordance with the truth. The Muslims may not like it, but then Canada is not yet part of the Middle East and the Koran is not deemed to be the truth in America.
Heaven forbid, that anyone should believe that I am against immigration. I hold a grudge against no one seeking to come to America for a better life under God, within our Canadian culture. We were made up, on the whole, of descendants of God-fearing settlers, that is to say, until liberal-incited multiculturalism was inflicted upon us, by treasonous rulers who ignored the heritage Law of the land. They implemented their own unconstitutional laws, which should be deemed null and void by the very nature of their implementation.
However, there are a few things that those who have recently come to our country, and apparently some born here, need to understand. All of this multicultural poppycock has only served to dilute our sovereignty and our national identity. We Canadians, have our own culture, our own society, our own languages, and our own lifestyle, which have been developed over years of struggle, and centuries of trials, wars and suffering by the ones who have gone before us. They gave to us, the victory of liberty in this land for a people who sought freedom under God. Such can never be found under the religious dictatorships of the Middle East and in other foreign countries under dictatorships where they kill Canadians for no other reason than one’s faith in Jesus, the very foundation of our nation.
We have two official languages, which are English and French. If immigrants want to be Canadians, then they need to learn one or the other. We have our own culture, and a national anthem that states, ‘We stand on guard for Thee’, meaning for Canada and not any other nation. Our Mounted Police are a symbol of Canada and they wear Mounted Police Hats. If the immigrant doesn’t like the uniform, then he does not have to join. No one is forcing one to do so. The Ten Commandments, being at the very foundation of our laws, are not ten suggestions, nor are they some right-wing political jargon. This is clearly documented by the Fathers of Confederation who laid down the Law for the generations to come. The purpose of our constitution was to preserve liberty in this land under God. It is most appropriate to display His Law in the marketplace and in the schoolroom and to pray to Him publicly in the name of His Son. If He and His Word offend anyone, then I suggest that the offended depart to reside in another part of the world, and live among the religious people who, like him/her, are offended by the truth of God.
God is very much a part of our culture, and the majority of Canadians are quite happy about this, having no desire to see it changed. It is of little interest to us how things were done in the countries from which the immigrants have come. When they are finished whining about our flag, our pledge to Canada, and our national anthem, which states that we trust in God, then I would strongly encourage them to take advantage of one of the greatest freedoms we have in this country. It is the RIGHT TO LEAVE, and to return to the country whence they came.
In which Canadian camp are you? Are you able to say ‘Merry Christmas’, knowing the joy of the season is found by being in the camp of Jesus Christ? Or are you in the other one, the joyless one, which requires you to say ‘Happy Holidays’, because you have become a victim of political correctness and dare not mention the name of Jesus? He is the reason for the season and it is in Him, and no other, that I rejoice.
On this note, I wish you a very Merry Christmas, in the name of Him, Whom we celebrate at this time of year. – an adaptation for Christmastime from an article by an unknown author.
