War, terrorism, massive unemployment, environmental destruction, office parties....
As we slog our way through Year Three of the Destruction of America Due To Poor and Corrupt Leadership, many people ask, "How can I make America a better place to live?" Dennis Prager tells us how....
One of the most common questions I am asked is, "What can I, a simple citizen, do to make our country better?"
The answer: Change the little things first. Most people who are worried about the direction of our country think that all the battles are big ones. But we cannot win any of the big ones if we keep losing the small ones.
Here is a seemingly small project that any American who works at almost any company can initiate. If successful, it will send shockwaves through the country: Rename your company's "holiday" party a Christmas party.
Nothing is quite as symbolic of the narcissism at the heart of contemporary "progressive" policies than the belief that because there are non-Christian employees at a company, its Christmas party may not be called one. Who do 5 percent of the employees think they are that they feel empowered to demand that the other 95 percent not celebrate their party with the name that they want? And what kind of mindset denies a company the right to celebrate a national holiday?
One has to wonder what any right-thinking company is doing by employing those 5% non-Christians in the first place. Don't they know that there are millions of unemployed Christians out there who would love to exchange crappy Secret Santa gifts with fellow employees they don't know while eating some potluck mystery meal out of a crockpot in the office kitchen?
...and wouldn't that make America a better place to live?
