Ronald Reagan
Tale til nationen den 23. december 1981 om juletiden og situationen i Polen
Ved juletid iklæder hvert hjem sig en særlig skønhed, en særlig varme, og det samme kan helt
sikkert siges om Det Hvide Hus, hvor så mange berømte amerikanere har tilbragt deres jul
igennem årene. Dette fine gamle hjem, folkets hus, har set så meget og været så stor en del af
alle vores liv og vores historie. Det har gjort os ydmyge, og det har været inspirerende for
Nancy og mig at tilbringe vores første jul på dette sted.
Vi har boet her som jeres lejere i næsten et år nu, og hvilket år det har været. Som nation har vi
været igennem temmelig meget - - øjeblikke med glæde, med tragedier, og med ægte bedrifter
og virkelige fremskridt – øjeblikke som, jeg tror, har bragt os alle nærmere hinanden.

G.K. Chesterton sagde engang ”at verden vil aldrig lide under mangel på vidundere, kun
forundringen over vidundere”
På denne særlige tid af året fornyer vi alle vores evne til forundring, ved at erindre historien om
den første jul i Betlehem for næsten 2000 år siden.
Nogle fejrer julen som fødselsdagen for en stor og god filosof og lærer. Andre af os tror på
guddommeligheden ved barnet født i Betlehem, at han var og er den lovede Fredsfyrste. Ja, vi
har stillet spørgsmål til, hvorfor han, der kunne udføre mirakler, valgte at komme iblandt os
som en hjælpeløs baby, men måske var det hans første mirakel, hans første store lektie- at vi
måtte lære at drage omsorg for hinanden.
I aften, i millionvis af amerikanske hjem, er gløden fra juletræet en reflektion af den kærlighed,
Jesus lærte os om. Ligesom hyrderne og de vise mænd fra denne første jul har vi amerikanere
altid forsøgt at følge et højere lys, en stjerne, om du vil. Ved ensomme lejrbål langs grænserne
til uudforskede områder, i de mørkeste dage under ”Den store depression”, igennem krig og
fred har de to tvillinge-ledestjerner af tro og frihed oplyst den amerikanske himmel. Til tider
har vores fodtrin måske nok vaklet, men med tillid til Guds hjælp er vi aldrig faret vild.
Lige tværs hen over vejen fra Det Hvide Hus står de to store symboler på denne juletid: En
Menorah, der symboliserer den jødiske Channukah festival, og det nationale juletræ, en smuk
blå gran fra Pennsylvania, der tårner sig op. Lige som det nationale juletræ er vores land en
levende og voksende organisme plantet i rig amerikansk jord. Kun vores hengivne omsorg kan

Labour: We must 'do God’ to fight anti-Christian persecution
Douglas Alexander, Labour's shadow foreign secretary, says politicians should speak out about the persecution of Christians in the Middle East, and not be put off doing so for fear of causing offence
Picture: © Copyright 2013 Douglas Alexander MP. All Rights Reserved.
"The Labour Party has admitted that politicians should stop feeling a “sense of embarrassment” about discussing God.
Douglas Alexander, a senior frontbencher, suggested that public figures have allowed “political correctness” to prevent them talking about faith and the persecution of Christians in the Middle East.
In a thinly-veiled attack on the Tony Blair era, when Alastair Campbell, the then communications director in Downing Street, said “we don’t do God”, Mr Alexander warned that people should have the courage to speak up for Christians without fear of causing offence.
Mr Alexander, the shadow foreign secretary, spoke out to voice his concerns about growing harassment and attacks suffered by Christians in the Middle East.
Writing in the Telegraph, he warns that the mounting persecution of Christians is a “story that goes largely untold”, describing those who have spoken out on the issue, including the Prince of Wales, as lone voices."

"First it was the airport at Bangui where we found some of the 35,000 who aid groups say are living (very) rough there among the hangars and planes.
A couple of days later we were in the Bangui monastery in the mud and human excrement – 15,000 at least there.
Today UNESCO said that there were 20,000 at the Don Bosco Catholic educational institute.
As we walked around with one of their staff he said casually there are at least 20 such sites around this town where Christians stay because they are terrified of the Muslim Seleka militia still going house to house by night looking for people to kill. Don Bosco is by far the best organised of these places.
They have speakers rigged up by locals so children can skip around and dance. So they can forget.
There’s a football pitch where the inevitable Arsenal-shirted lads are showing their fluid step-over skills in 35c of equatorial humidity (I could barely breathe) and what is it about the preponderance of Arsenal tops here anyway? "

Reaction to the death of Nelson Mandela - Nelson Mandela | Moneyweb
"German Chancellor Angela Merkel: "His name will always be associated with the fight against the oppression of his people and with overcoming the apartheid regime. Not even years in prison could break Nelson Mandela or make him bitter - a new, better South Africa eventually emerged out of his message of reconciliation ... Nelson Mandela's shining example and his political legacy of non-violence and the condemnation of all forms of racism will continue to inspire people around the world for many years to come."

Nelson Mandela's shining example and his political legacy of non-violence and the condemnation of all forms of racism will continue to inspire people around the world for many years to come."
Former U.S. President George H.W. Bush, in a statement: "Barbara and I mourn the passing of one of the greatest believers in freedom we have had the privilege to know. As President, I watched in wonder as Nelson Mandela had the remarkable capacity to forgive his jailers following 26 years of wrongful imprisonment - setting a powerful example of redemption and grace for us all. He was a man of tremendous moral courage, who changed the course of history in his country."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a statement: "Nelson Mandela was of the most honorable figures of our time. He was the father of his people, a man of vision, a freedom fighter who rejected violence. He set a personal example for his people in the long years he spent in prison. He was never arrogant. He worked to mend the tears in South African society and with his character managed to prevent outbursts of racial hatred. He will be remembered as the father of new South Africa and as an outstanding moral leader."
Former U.S. President George W. Bush, in a statement: "President Mandela was one of the great forces for freedom and equality of our time. He bore his burdens with dignity and grace, and our world is better off because of his example. This good man will be missed, but his contributions will live on forever."
Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny: "The name Mandela stirred our conscience and our hearts. It became synonymous with the pursuit of dignity and freedom across the globe. Today, a great light has been extinguished. The boy from the Transkei has finished his long walk. His journey transformed not just South Africa, but humanity itself. As we mark his passing, we give thanks for the gift of Nelson Mandela. We ask that his spirit continues to inspire, guide and enlighten us as we strive to bring freedom and dignity to the family of man, our brothers and sisters, across the world.""
