The day of the Christmas Parade in Linden this year was Dec. 7. This was the date in 1941 of the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor which started Work War II for the United States. Linden’s Paul Ellinger put up a black flag at the war memorial monument in Linden the day of the parade and on his own remembrance of that unfortunate occurrence. Photo by Neil Abeles.
Every new year, we are told to leave everything in the previous year and start fresh, but I want to encourage you to LOOK back!
We concluded last time by analyzing the popular “COEXIST” bumper sticker. According to this bumper sticker, “c” is the symbol of Islam, “o” is the symbol of the peace movement, “e” is the symbol of transgenderism, “x” is the Jewish star of David, the dot on the “i” is the witch worshiping Wiccan symbol, the “s” is the Taoist yin/yang symbol, and the “t” is the Christian Cross of Christ. One big happy family, they say. But that cannot be true because each one makes an exclusionary truth claim; each one claims to be the ultimate and exclusive moral truth.
Christmas, a parade on the way and an historic courthouse to run around make holidays in Linden memorable. So people take a seat and wait happily.
Well, Santa whistled for the dog to come, but Kira the dog chose to greet, instead, her master Tim Loizeaux.
