Tim O’Brien writes for PJMedia.com about an unusual critique from a major legacy media outlet.
The Trump administration made a point of acknowledging the birth of Jesus Christ on Christmas, and the New York Times wasn’t having it. In an article entitled, “Trump Administration Emphasizes Religion in Official Christmas Messages,” the Times wanted its readers to know that once again the Trump administration is the worst, this time because people in government did not avoid “overtly religious language, as the Constitution prohibits the establishment of an official state religion.”
The Times, which consistently takes a “freedom FROM religion” approach except when that religion is the LGBTQ dogma or Islam, had to work to ignore the part in the Declaration of Independence that says our rights come from God. Further, the Constitution, while never mentioning a deity by name, is built on the premise that our rights are not given to us by government – only that they exist and cannot be taken away. The implication is what’s clearly stated in the Declaration that our rights come from God and cannot be taken away by man.
“The Trump administration celebrated Christmas on Thursday by posting a series of religious messages from official government accounts, using language that drew criticism from those who pointed to the country’s separation of church and state,” the New York Times reported, failing to say that most of those who criticized this were people who had to go to work on Thursday in that newsroom, and other Christian-haters they like to hang out with at cocktail parties.
The atheist cabal on the left can only tolerate religion if public figures utter bland, uninspiring “messages of love, joy and peace on the holiday” and not specifically mention the actual reason for a holiday that gives most everyone the day off on December 25.
