Christmas Lives In Texas Thanks To Gov. Perry

I have to give three cheers to Governor Rick Perry for standing up for Christmas, with the passage of  “The Merry Christmas” bill. Surrounded by sleigh bell-ringing Santa Claus impersonators, Gov. Rick Perry signed a law protecting Christmas and other holiday celebrations in  Texas public schools from legal challenges  but he also stressed that freedom of  religion is not the same thing as freedom from religion.

Thank God their is a Governor in this country who has the balls to stand up in the face of political correctness and do the right thing. “I realize it’s only June. But it’s a good June and the holidays are coming  early this year,” Perry said. ” It’s a shame that a bill like this one I’m  signing today is even required, but I’m glad that we’re standing up for  religious freedom in this state. Religious freedom does not mean freedom from  religion.”

The bill’s sponsor, Republican Rep. Dwayne Bohac of Houston, said he drafted  it after discovering that his son’s school erected a “holiday tree” in December  because any mention of Christmas could spark litigation. “We hope that this is a fire that will take off and become laws in the other  49 states,” said Bohac, who said his bill has attracted national attention.

Once again, THREE CHEERS FOR RICK PERRY.
