Our governor, a very gentle and decent man as far as politicians go, send out his cards this year with one of his paintings on the front, as he does every year. This year he painted a young Afghan woman he met, as "While it may seem odd to put a portrait of a young Muslim woman on a Christmas card, this Season reminds us that He loves His children most of all." Sounds sweet and seasonal to me. :shrug:
Heres the painting:
And heres what the murderer turned preacher says:
"If on Martin Luther King Day, you sent a picture of a Klansman and said Martin Luther had a dream that this guy would one day get along with the people hes trying to kill, Im not sure the African-American community would handle that very well," Davis said. "Christmas is about Christ. Put a picture of the Savior on our card."
Thats a bit of a stretch, aint it? To those gawd-fairing people, shes still just the enemy, just another brown rag head.
The local holy rollers are all in a lather about it.
Its really sad, as its just a political attack, as the governors a Democrat. Spirit of Christmas indeed. How sad.
