From the outer realms of junk email I found this piece of flotsam. I make no claim to authorship. I have no idea who wrote it, but I like it. I'm sure you've all seen a variation of it at one time or another. The only thing I changed was Democrat Friends to Liberal Friends and Republican Friends to Conservative Friends . The scary thing here is that as parody, a piece like this is losing it's steam. The psycho babble following to my Liberal Friends is not far from reality for many progressives living in these United States of the Perpetually Offended. But the very fact that we now have living amongst us these guilt ridden bird brains, splashing around in a bath of blind moral relevence, well, we have to laugh at them. Even though it is painfully obvious that we are giggling all the way down the road to hell. You know, that same road paved with liberal good intentions. A blessed Kwanzza, or whatever, to you and yourn.

To my Liberal Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best
wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible,
low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter
solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of
the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your
choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or
traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or
secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful,
personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the
onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2010, but not without
due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose
contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply
that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the
only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made
without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability,
religious faith or sexual preference of the wish.

To My Conservative Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
