Cruising for a Bruising
President Bush might be, what with his audacity - imagine making a statement in favor of those who celebrate Kwanzaa. How dare he acknowledge that there are those in this country who celebrate something other than Christmas or Chanukah? I guess he can afford to, what with there being no fear of losing the Religious Right vote; but still, a Republican accepting a celebration of something other than God? I'm amazed.

hmm...
I actually support the President here Nuje. I thought this a good thing.
I was poking at the Religious Right; not the President.
"a Republican accepting a celebration of something other than God? I'm amazed."
I took it as a poke at Republicans.
Perhaps the Pres. is fishing for the support of Black Republicans. Oh wait ... there's no such thing (Condi notwithstanding).
But seriously, Kwanzaa isn't a "celebration of something other than God" necessarily. It is a "celebration of Family, Community, and Culture," (see http://www.officialkwanzaawebsite.org/index.shtml). These values, ideologically, are very much at the heart of the religious white ... er, right.
