Kentucky Governor Has Change of Heart About Christmas Tree

In another victory for Christian culture, the American Family Association is reporting a change of heart in Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshar over the keeping Christ in Christmas. Beshear released a statement last week referring to the tree on the Capitol’s front lawn as a “holiday” tree. The AFA took exception and sounded the alarm.

“We immediately sent out an action alert to every member of the AFA network who lives in Kentucky, and they flooded the governor’s office with e-mails and telephone calls,” AFA president Tim Wildmon explains. “We reminded the governor that there is no American tradition of a ‘Thanksgiving’ tree or a ‘New Year’s Tree,’ and we appealed to him to call the tree what it is, a ‘Christmas’ tree. We applaud the citizens of Kentucky for making their voices heard - apparently, it’s still ‘We the People’ in some parts of America - and we commend the governor for deciding to keep ‘Christ’ in ‘Christmas.’”

As Randy Sharp, AFA director of special projects, sees it, folks in Kentucky decided they’d had enough political correctness when it comes to remembering the birth of Jesus Christ.

“After all, it’s a classic American tradition to remember the births of individuals who have made a great contribution to our public life. We celebrate Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, George Washington’s birthday, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday,” Sharp says. “We shouldn’t have any hesitation whatsoever about continuing to commemorate the birth of Christ, especially since our founding documents, the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, are dated ‘in the year of our Lord.’”
