Now the left has made an incursion into Halloween, a set of bizarre superstitions practiced by many people in October. The left just wants to eliminate another aspect of our culture.
I have no use at all for this aspect of our culture, but damn the left for trying to eliminate it.

To: Leftism is Mentally Deranged

God can use quite unlikely actors for His purposes.

There was undoubtedly nothing to the notion that the hanging figure had any reference to the lynchings of yesteryear.

However the damn ‘holiday’ (arising largely out of a mockery of the Christian church’s “All Saints Day” on November 1, hence its October 31 date) seems to be increasing in the gruesomeness of its displays every time it comes around. The whole popular idea of it seems to be to get some kind of thrill out of frightening and shocking things.
