The most liberal Christmas song in the world

well; Gore and others must not read the Bible in which the story of the Virgin Birth orginated. It so happens Mary and Joseph were going to the city of their tribe into Judea to be counted for taxes. They were not homeless; they came from Nazareth.

Luke 2

However, the most liberal song has got to be my all time favorite: So This is Christmas.

Quote:

So This Is Christmas

So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young.

A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The road is so long

And so Happy Christmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight.

A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

So this is Christmas
And what have you done?
Another year over
And a new one just begun

And so Happy Christmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young.

A very Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear

War is over!
If you want it
War is over!
War is over, Now!

But you admit a liberal democrat did call them homeless?

If the one source that cites Gore as doing it is true, then sure. That link though is not a source back to a newspaper article or anything though, just some guy's page who quoted Gore as saying something, but gave no source other than the date he [supposedly] said it.

If he said it, then he said it. I don't see why you think that'd be hard to admit.

Now, maybe some proof that Hillary and Kerry said it to back up Finn's post.

So all "libs" are as far left as John Lennon.

We can therefore conclude that all "cons" are as far right as, say, David Duke.

Nice post, you racist homophobe.... Rolling Eyes

I vote that Lennon tune "lamest Christmas song ever" but hardly the most liberal. It certainly didn't require a Beatle to write that.

I had to take a state-mandated performing arts course in high school and I was stuck taking drama in the 11th grade. One of our assignments was to lip-synch a song of our choice. When the assignment was finished the teacher gave the entire class the option of earning extra credit for doing this left-wing drivel as a class group. However, I refused to participate because this song was done as a fundraiser for famine relief in Ethiopia. At the time Ethiopia was a communist state and allied with the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics- a country that was a sworn enemy of my country. The teacher didn't even acknowledge my protest, let alone offer to give me an alternative assignment because I couldn't participate in his preferred assignment for First Amendment reasons.

This bozo with the poor vocabulary (whom I will be ignoring from now own due to his vocabulary) likely doesn't think Al Gore is a liberal. On another thread one of this board's left-wing posters actually says that Democrats in America are not liberals, but I gather this is because Europeans use a different political spectrum that distorts the issue.

This isn't the song I was thinking of. The song that I am thinking of has likely been the most often played holiday song on the local radio stations here this year. It has been like Chinese water torture. I don't listen to the radio, but when I am where a radio is playing, I have no say in what channel it is tuned to. I've heard the feed the world nonsense so often since Thanksgiving that it has seeped into my brain. It has got to be at least the 2nd most liberal Christmas song in the world.

I would expect you to ignore the right wing posters with far worse cursing than mine as well right?

I'm not claiming that Al Gore is not a liberal. I'm challenging Finn's post stating that Clinton or Kerry had said what Gore said. I don't think I've spoken about anyong being "liberal" in this post once until now

Nice post, you racist homophobe....

Hey, I like that song a lot and think it has nice sentiments and I don't consider myself a far leftist or a communist; why in the world would you call me a homophobe??? Actually; when you read some of the words attributed to Jesus and listen to some of the things Lennon had to say (except the atheist stuff) they had a lot of the same sentiments as far as treating everyone as one and feeding the homeless and poor and no wars. If feeling like that is not a bad thing; then call me a commi; I don't care.

I don't know whether he did or not (didn't check out the link if there was one); if he did; then he was wrong. Wasn't hard at all.

This is illustrative of a serious flaw in A2K discourse.

Don't agree with the point someone is making? Demand that they provide citations and specific sources.

I don't know about you maporche but I don't log each and every source that combines to help formulate my opinions about this great and green world.

If you have choose to use Google in a more expansive way then "Is Finn right about his allegations against Clinton and Kerry re the baby Jesus," you will find plenty of sources that allege that both of them focused on the nativity (as did Gore) as a matter of homelessness.

Perhaps you will not find a certified transcript of speechs in which Clinton and Kerry decried the Baby Jesus as homeless, but you will find numerous references to such speeches.

It's up to you to decide whether or not all of these references are valid. Personally, I think it would take quite the idealogue to dismiss them all out of hand.

Nevertheless, the gist of my post is that Liberals will, ridiculously, attempt to twist the nativity into an issue which they feel comfortable supporting.

That we all agree that Gore did so is enough to satisfy my contention irrespective of whether or not Clinton or Kerry can be unequivocally pinned down to such an assertion.

You and so many other A2Kers should stop hiding behind these hyper technical arguments. Do you really want everyone to insist upon foot notes to their posts? It will, most assuredly, come and bite you on your asses.

Here's the point I fling in your face: Prominent Liberals have attempted to twist the nativity story to comply with their political agenda. For the sake of your ridiculous argument I concede that I am unable to find direct transcriptions of the Clinton and Kerry comments, however we both agree Gore made them.

Respond to the contention and stop dodging!

I was only asking for clarification because until you mentioned it in this post I had never heard ANYONE say such a thing. And as much as I've followed politics over the last 6 years, and as much as I despise religion and have read many a bible verse and engaged in religious arguments I've never heard anyone say anything like this.

It appears that Gore made those comments....apparently he as also wrong (assuming that the bible is a true account of what happend, which I don't believe, hell this is even assuming that Jesus is real).

So to answer your point, "yes, it looks like A prominant liberal had attempted to twist the nativity story to comply with his political agenda."

It also appears that he was wrong.

What's your point though? Politicians twist everything to suit their political agenda, including religion. Are you trying to say that only liberals twist religion to suit their ends?

And since politicians twist "everything" we should give them free reign to twist whatever they please?

My point is that Liberal leaders are hypercritical and disingenuous, and their manipulation of the Christian legend is particularly reprehensible since they want it both ways... MERRY CHRISTMAS (and Happy Holidays) to all your Christian voters, but let's not forget, for a moment, that we are all about you non-believers.

I'm not a Christian, and could care less whether or not any of the candidates profess their Christian beliefs., but I do take stock in those candidates who don't run away from their Christianity and those that try to translate Christian legend into a politically correct history.

Now, if your argument is that "So are Republicans!" So be it, but let's have your salvos be equal as respects gunpowder.

Re: The most liberal Christmas song in the world

flaja wrote:

The Christmas song "Do You Hear What I Hear" has a line to the effect that there is a child shivering in the cold, let us bring Him silver and gold.

That is the quintessential liberal solution to a socio-economic problem that government policy had caused to begin with- throw money at it.

Extract from Wikipedia.

One of the co-writers of this song was - " born Leon Schlienger in 1922. He may have been born Jewish: Leo or Leon is a popular Westernization of the Hebrew name Lev. His adopted names are almost the palindromes of his birth names. Noel, of course, means Christmas; Regney may be a play on the French verb "regner," to reign. In other words, "Christmas Reign," which raises the question of whether he changed his names to pass as Christian for safety, or whether he was a genuine convert. He was drafted into the Nazi army despite being a Frenchman. Presumably, as an Alsatian, he would have spoken German as fluently as French. It is said that he soon deserted, joined a group of French Resistance fighters, and became a double agent working for the French. He led a party of Nazis into an ambush and was shot, but survived and eventually lived in New York City."

I don't know about you, but I reckon that a guy who'd experienced what he did during his youth, was quite entitled to write a pleasant, catchy song about Christmas, whether he doodled it just to make bucks or not.
A lot of people like that song, even theough it's obviously not a musical masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination.

If, some years later, some person with waaay too much time on their hands wants to pick it apart in order to bring a very tenuous political argument into the equation, then I would recommend that they put that nitpicking time to better use in future and go do some charity work in somewhere like a soup kitchen.
Not only would they get out and see some real life, but they may end up feeling better about where they fit in, and what they are contributing to, our modern day society.

Sheesh!
