Let’s take a look at what some are calling “controversial” Christmas ads. They are complaining about, are you sitting down? Crosses in them!Can you imagine people talking about Christ in the same breath as Christmas? Or using the image of a Cross at the same time?

“Those knuckle dragging Neanderthals.”

However, there is a part of this story that I have not heard ANYONE illustrate yet.

Two ads have Crosses, with two very different reactions from the press to the creators of those ads.What I would like to do is, present the ads here, first, for those of you who have not seen them. Then I will tell you what I think is the real story here.

The issue in question here, is, the Cross. In one ad, Huckabee’s, it is the forming of two white wood pieces of a bookshelf. In McCain’s, it is prominently drawn out, and definitively shown to be a Cross.

What is the issue that the secular media and liberal left is having with these ads?

Well, they are not having an issue with the “ads”. They are having an issue with Huckabee’s ad. They are stating that he subliminally highlighted the white wood cross sections of the- ‘b o o k s h e l f’ - and insist that he was trying to talk to people either as ‘the Christian who speaks for them’; or the ‘most Christian of the candidates’; or that ‘really, it is Christians that are worth his time and effort’.

First off, this represents the paranoia of the left so well, it is almost sad that it is a Christmas ad that brings this out of them. It is just too hard to knock the crap out of them when it is so close to Christmas. But, I will gladly do it, as my gift to you.

Secondly, in their rush to attack Huck while all the while leaving McCain alone, once again they are showing the weakness and hypocrisy of their logic.Huckabee’s ad is attacked for ‘possibly’ using the Cross (in the mind of the paranoid), McCain’s blatantly uses the Cross.

Third, the far left is truly at odds with the “majority” on this issue. 80-90% of Amercians say they are Christians. However, they (the secular left, and media) don’t seem to care. CNN stated, about all of the ads for candidates from both the Republican and Democrat parties, “Since when do Presidential Nominees treat us to Christmas Ads?”

My response would be, ALL puns intended, “For Christ’s sake, why in the HELL would they NOT be doing Christmas ads in a Country that is overwhelmingly Christian???”

WHY does all of this matter? For several reasons…Because it illustrates the differing ‘levels’ of Christianity in our Country. If 80-90% of this Country says they are Christians, then that means that most Democrats are Christians as well. However, the liberal wing of the Democratic party (which is now the vocal majority) supports abortion. They support leniency with criminals. They support the legalization of drugs. They support the Unionization of workforces, even to the detriment of the ability of the business to stay IN business.

They claim to support “freedom”, but want to restrict religious expression via the ACLU. And they don’t even apply that hateful restriction to all religions. No, they save that energy for one religion: Christianity.

The reason that the response to the two ads is so amazing is, the reactions are the opposite of what one would expect, if in fact the real issue was whether or not a Cross was used in them. McCain’s ad should have the heat, and most people should be shrugging about Huck’s, because his was not overt or even planned, most likely.

But the left (including the media) is grilling Huck, and not McCain, because of ONE reason…Huckabee is a threat to them. McCain is NOT.

1. Mike Huckabee is, in their minds eye, the evangelical Christian, is a “real” Christian, with values he adheres to daily, to be feared. John McCain, much like the left, is a “sometimes” Christian, willing to hear the pleas of the left and seculars, who picks and chooses “when” to be ‘Christian’, or, perhaps more fairly, when to adhere to Conservative Christian values.

2. Most conservatives AND liberals have recognized, accurately, that McCain is not always a reliable vote on Conservative social issues, and even some Governmental issues - McCain Feingold campaign finance reform, and more recently, the immigration bills that tried to fly through Congress this last summer. This makes McCain more popular with the seculars, as they win when he waffles on Conservative issues.

Don’t get me wrong here. I am not telling you what “I” think of McCain or Huckabee on the issue of how “Christian” they are. I am not saying McCain is not a Christian. I am telling you what the Sec-Progs think of them, and why there is outrage for one ad that is innocuous, and not for the ad that is more direct with the usage of the Cross.

I WILL say, however, that I am stating who I think is more Conservative socially. That is clearly Huckabee.

This is why the Sec-Progs are attacking Huckabee. He is a danger to what they believe.

Dems and liberals are not as concerned about fiscal conservatives, as they are about SOCIAL conservatives.

I will say for myself, and on the record, that the reason for this sentiment is due to the fact that McCain runs center often, and sticks his fingers in the eyes of Conservatives often, on key issues. McCain is akin to Specter at times, depending on the issue. He is sometimes the Conservative equivalent of the Democrat Zell Miller.

You have to pay attention, folks, to what is being said and what is not being said. Who is complaining about what, when, and when they fall silent, and why.

Concerning these ads, it is not my intent here to attack McCain, or support Hucakbee, but rather to point out the amazingly hypocritical difference in the response to two ads when it comes to the media, and the secular progressives of America.

Lastly, take a look at the picture I used for this post. Go up, look at it. It is a picture I took in my house.

I had no idea how many Crosses I had in my house until I looked. It is a good thing I am not running for President. Having my picture taken in front of that window pane, you see, I might have had to answer to the “A-SEE-EL-YOU!”, or some other form of “thought police” from the left…

Merry Christmas, and Happy Chanukkah!Oh- and if you are one of the secular folks… buy stock in COAL! I hope your stocking runneth over!
