To the Eagle:
Last week my neighbor called me and said he wanted to put a manger scene in front of the courthouse and was told no! What? This is Wahkiakum County.
Fast forward: The county commissioners told us no. “We don’t want to open the door for others to put displays on county land.”
But this is Christmas. If we can’t be proud of the birth of the saviour of the human race, what then?
Rewind: You remember good will toward men, go tell it on the mountain, saviour of the nations come. How about, to us a child of hope is born, to us a son is given him shall the tribes of the earth obey. God rest you merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay -- except the county commissioners. Please pray for the commissioners, they have lost their way.
Edmund Burke once said “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Not much has changed since the birth of Christ, there is still no room for him in the inn.
