Kwanzaa is almost upon us! Kwanzaa begins December 26!
Let me begin my post with the traditional Kwanzaa song!
Kwanzaa is a holiday Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa, Kwanzaa Is an African holiday Seven Principles Seven Candles Seven Black days for the African
The other morning when I awoke, the ground was covered with a dusting of snow, which is a GREAT thing! Because of global warming, we have had five years of drought here, and all of the pinon trees are dying. But that is a different story for a different time. With the snow comes the spirit of the Solstice, and the affirmation of a new beginning.
Ten years ago it was that I was able to celebrate my first Kwanzaa with a family I got to know while living in California for a year. Since I do not celebrate christmas, it was a welcome feeling of inclusion and tolerance in a month that is essentially bereft of comfort to a persyn such as I. Let me just say that I took to the week of Kwanzaa like a starving infant to the teat!
Kwanzaa is a holiday representative of REAL American values. Among the seven principles of Kwanzaa (the Nguzo Saba) are ideals such as collective work and responsibility and cooperative economics. Above all, Kwanzaa is a spiritual holiday, but not a holiday rife with religious indoctrination. I think that this is really the kind of thing that the writers of the constitution had in mind during this country’s inception. Remember, there is to be observed at all times separation of church and state, and government sanctioning of christmas is illegal and illegitimate. The kind of “faith” that Kwanzaa speaks of is faith in our people, our educators, and the purpose of our struggle!
I think it a pity that so many Americans of African Origin have been so deeply indoctrinated into the white man’s religion for the past three or four centuries that they may feel embarrassed to forego christmas to celebrate Kwanzaa. It is time for all people, Black and white alike, to unshackle ourselves from the mental chains of christ-insanity. Let Kwanzaa be the paint scraper stripping away the layers of greed, racism, imperialism, excess, and violence that is so representative of our nation!
KWANZAA YENU IWE NA HERI (HAPPY KWANZAA)!!!
My Lady and eternal Mother Earth, Today we pray for your guidance In protecting your vast resources.

If you're Black and celebrate Kwanzaa, would you drop the celebration if you learned that it's not from Africa but that it's a complete invention, that it's out of Orwell, not out of Africa? Would you give up the candles, incense, and the other paraphernalia that you enjoy so much if you discovered that it's a bogus holiday?
This is what the founder himself, Ron Karenga, had to say about Kwanzaa in a Washington Post interview of many years ago: "People think it's African, but it's not. I came up with Kwanzaa because Black people wouldn't celebrate it if they knew it was American. Also, I put it around Christmas because I knew that's when a lot of Bloods are partying."
But now-a-days this simple fact, admitted by Karenga himself, is ignored by the press. In fact most of the criminal records of Ron Karenga, a former radical Black-student leader who later became a Marxist and a professor of Black Studies, have been ignored and have strangely disappeared. The left media and cowardly college administrators don't want you to know about Karenga's felonious past in the radical ‘60s and ‘70s and that Kwanzaa is a bogus holiday. They want to hide the fact that Kwanzaa has become just one more White-liberal manipulation of Blacks instead of a legitimate holiday for them. It fits the leftist paranoia that Blacks have been robbed of their heritage by the mean and cruel Whites. It's just one more gimmick to stir up racial hatred in this country in preparation for the Orwellian paradise the red diaper-doper babies have in store for us.
But if we follow the lies of the liberal fanatics, then most Americans today, including Whites, would have to conclude that they've been "robbed" of their roots as well. Few of us celebrate the same holidays or continue the same customs as our old-world ancestors. Maybe once a year we should join hands, dance around the phallus, and bow to the moon.
Karenga and the other "Black Roots" people didn't get their geography straight, either. Somehow they latched onto Swahili as their ancestral tongue. Just look at your map. Swahili is a language of the African east coast. Yet most of the African slaves in America were from the west coast, thousands of miles away, where they spoke completely different languages and had very different customs than in the east.
I do want to say this about Kwanzaa: I admire Karenga's imagination in inventing it, but I certainly wouldn't celebrate a bogus holiday myself. Anyone who can create a religion in his own time and sell the cards, candles, and paraphernalia, and make a go of it, must be a gifted entrepreneur. My research also tells me that Karenga is not a racist. In fact, the best research on Ron Karenga reveals no violence against Whites by him or his followers. He had an excellent relationship with former Los Angeles Mayor Sam Yorty. He met with then Governor Ronald Reagan and other white politicians. But, according to the research, Karenga did have strong contempt for other Blacks.
In any event, we live in a country where we have freedom of religion, so Maulana (Master Teacher) Karenga (born Ron. N. Everett) can believe and practice whatever he wants. You have the right to worship anything at all. You can even prostrate yourself before chicken feathers mixed with the blood of a menstruating cow if that's your belief. It's your right. Freedom of conscience is the most important fundament of this nation. It's something no one else can decide for you. We should let no one take it from us. God will be the final arbiter, not talking-heads on the evening news, not sensitivity trainers, touchy-feely counselors, lesbian school teachers, or even the ACLU.
When the Bolsheviks seized power in Russia religion was attacked first, as the "opiate of the masses"! Hitler attacked the church in Germany, making himself God, the Nazi Party the new State Church. So even a bogus religion may be preferable to a demonic, soulless bureaucracy run by smiling talkers of double-speak.
The Founding Fathers guaranteed us "freedom of religion" not "freedom from religion." This purposeful deception, fostered by the ACLU, is perhaps the paramount achievement of the radical left in this God-fearing nation.
Why not cite your hate speech? Why not post under your REAL handle? Are you yourself ashamed of the hateful message of Michael Savage so much that you are afraid of the stigma attatched to it?
Shameful.

We can change Valentine's Day To National Prostitution Day. Think of it, a day where the men of this nation are digging deep into their pockets to adorn their significant other with expensive jewels just to get laid. What's the difference of one soliciting prostitution and the above mentioned? Obsurd? Think about what was posted here today!

I would have no objection to your suggestion. Remember also that it is called SAINT Valentine's day, and is therefore religious, and should not be celebrated in or on any publicly funded properties.
