"Lamb Ballads," by Eben


The Christmas Star Shone Most Brightly over the Holocaust Victims of Auschwitz, Dachau, Buchenwald, and the dozens of other Nazi Death Camps the Current Nitwit President of Iran is Currently Denying Ever Existed. How insulting to the intelligence and the millions victims and the whole world (outside of the Nitwit's charmed circle)! Let the still living survivors of Auschwitz be given the opportunity to take Iran's Nitwit to the sites and give him a personal tour! It just might give him a second thought about his mindless ideology of hate for the Jews and everyone who loves freedom and hates bigotry. Corrie Ten Boom, who with her sister, was imprisoned and tortured by the Nazis in a death camp for saving many Jews by hiding them in their home in Holland, described in her book, "The Hiding Place," how the Nazis would throw dead bodies under the trees at the camp just to mock Christmas. That is how they thought of Christmas--and the ACLU and its associated Grinches and Scrooges in America are no different in their attitude toward Christmas as they continue their multi-million dollar attack on Christmas displays, Nativity Scenes, and the very mention of Christmas in retail stores. Merry Christmas, ACLU! We are not going to give up Christmas so you can have a godless, Christmas-less, socialist police state that was once the land of the free and the home of the brave.
