The Demoncrats aren’t hypocrites guilty of this sin, whereas hypocrites that are religious are:
11 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not acquit the one who takes His name in vain. (Deuteronomy 5:11 MKJV)
We have fully deserved and earned all the evil God has brought to our nation through the Demoncrats. It’s the Law of God.
The issue isn’t so much of people justifying observing Christmas and Easter in the name of The Lord, as those are just signs/fruits of a corrupt heart. We can be of those who don’t observe the days but be just as corrupt as those who do observe it. I speak as one who is guilty, being a religious hypocrite Jesus rebuked:
(Matthew 23:23 MKJV)
23 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithes of mint and dill and cummin, and you have left undone the weightier matters of the Law, judgment, mercy, and faith. You ought to have done these and not to leave the other undone.
Not observing pagan holy days, observing the Sabbath, tithing, eating clean, not physically acting on lusts, agreeing with true doctrines on TPOT: but breaking the weightier matters of the Law. Making me worse than those I was judging, breaking the commandments right along with them. Coming to the realization of just how true this scripture is:
(Luke 6:35-37 (MKJV)
35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return. And your reward shall be great, and you shall be the sons of the Highest. For He is kind to the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Therefore be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
37 Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you shall be forgiven.
I’m not saying you are guilty of this, but I believe I should give a warning. It’s easy to get puffed up with the knowledge we obtain here and use it to cover the sin burning in our hearts, while condemning others for their sin. Hopefully it can help prevent others from making the mistakes I have.

The hatred for Israel/Jews/Zionism (a reflection of hatred for God) appears to be the fuel of the fire, and the fire is spreading like in a forest, especially with all the madness of Jew hatred on college campuses recently. The left wing is not only infected with the disease, but seeing it from all political denominations.
