Christmas Wishes

"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas"- Calvin Coolidge.

Merry Christmas to all from the Slagle clan (Rob, Sherry, Morgan and baby) to you and yours this season.

Political Correctness Run Amok - Carolers Told to Stop Singing

A high school choir in a Riverside, CA mall was asked to stop singing Christmas carols during an ice skating show featuring Olympic medalist Sasha Cohen out of concern the skater would be offended because she's Jewish.

Check out the story here.

[From me]

Like one of my friends has said, that this country has been about getting down to the lowest common denominator - so that nobody can be offended.

Last time I read the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, the right not to be offended wasn't one of them.

Even though Cohen says she didn't ask the choir to be silenced, the mall and the police should be ashamed of themselves!
