Although I’ve never watched it, not finding parades terribly interesting, watching the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade is an American tradition in which families — including children — gather around the TV to watch the festivities.
WND reports that this year, as wide-eyed kids looked with wonder at the massive floats and giant Snoopy, Spider-man and SpongeBob balloons going down the streets of New York City, they also saw something decidedly non-family fare.
For the first time in the parade’s 89-year history, Macy’s saw fit to include in the parade a gaggle of transvestites dressed in thigh-high red boots – the cast of the Broadway musical “Kinky Boots.”
My husband is not prone to sinister conspiracy theories, but he is a scholar of renown on Marxism and other totalitarian ideologies and polities.
One morning two years ago he abruptly asked me: “What’s with that Macy’s red star logo?”
We all know that, along with the hammer-and-sickle, the red star is an emblem of the Communist Party.
Now why would Macy’s choose for its logo a symbol that’s associated with and immediately evocative of the Communist Party?
