The War on Christmas

I cannot help but be gut-searingly sure that a thousand years from now, some alien anthropology professor will point to his holographic blackboard and say: "Yes, yes. Different theories attribute different factors, young Blorglings. But it is universally agreed that 'The War on Christmas' movement marked the moment that America had become just ... too stupid to survive."

BTW John, I've always meant to say kudos to the change to black text on a white background. The white on black gave me a headache, but I read it anyway!

Spick> I saw that clip! It was hilarious, and I agree, I think it sums it up pretty nicely.

This is such a ridiculous thing to fight about...then again..this has been the year of the US having many ridiculous fights.

PS> John, have you played Fatal Frame 3 yet? curious fans want to know. ~_^

War on Christmas? How can you have a war against a day?

My wife and I were discussing what our christmas card should say. She suggested "Merry Christmas! Not Hannukah! Oh, and also we hate gays!"

I love her more now.

Oh yes. Let's put the Saturnalia back in Christmas.

You know what I can understand why the Right wing nuts are getting so worried about the "War on christmas" as we all know wars on ideas ALWAYS win.

Let's look at the track record here...

War on Crime.... wait I think we lost that one.
War on Want.... Did we even show up?
War on Drugs.... Now we know why we didn't show up for the War on Want.
War on Terror... I don't know about you but I'm more terrified that I was before that War started.

So based on this resounding success rate I think we can safely say that Christmas will be here for a long long time.

Never let it be forgotten that Christmas has the big guns on it's side. You know corporations, shops and everything else. Like they even need reglion to help out....

Oh and if any left wing talk show host or stand up etc wants to use this text - feel free - but make a donation to charity to do so will ya.

(And yeah I know it's a bit much to think your writing is good enough to have someone else use it - but hey at least I got the idea of people donating in your head).

I hear First Lady Laura has been looking for a cause. Lady Bird had the War on Poverty. Now comes the War on Christmas. It's a perfect match!

War on Christmas? Just another front in the War on America. Christ, I wish these people would try to live in all these other countries they deliriously imagine to be "better." They'd have the "multi" taken out of their "culturism" mighty fast, I think.

Any recruits for my War on Time?

Anon, you touched on an interesting point.

The idea of a multicultural society seems to chafe the victims of the WOC becuase it gives non-Christian beliefs equal footing in the public sphere by either eleveating the presence of other faiths during the holiday season or by removing any and all religious references. That's what I think the problem is. What they see as the secularization of Christmas they equate to a challenge to Cristianity's dominance in our country. It's okay to be Jewish or Muslim or pagan (okay, never pagan) just as long as you remember to walk three steps behind your Christian betters.

Masturbation really puts the "rist" back in Christmas. Where is the W? Washington.

It's all ready lost, that's why there's the complaint.

Christmas isn't making the bottom line anymore. I'd think that people would actually be a bit more happy that Christmas is actually being given back to Christianity rather than corporate america owning it.

Sam Seder is the cohost of Majority Report on Air America (Janeane Garafolo is the other host, apologies for mangling her name heh).

Michael Alan Nelson's post eloquently caught my feelings regarding the motivations of the Christian Right regarding this non-issue. To me, the Christian Right-wingers are using this so-called fight to publicly disrespect anyone who is not a hard-Right Christian...and in a particularly cowardly way.

I've got to disagree wth Spick about the color change.  The black on white is far too bright for my work environment.  Just goes to show that you can't please everyone...

Dear Hollywood Jews...

I fail to see the lesson is 'anonymous's" above post. anyone?

Anonymous said...

The poster is either a wingnut saying that the folks posting here are all Hollywood Jews because we generally think the "War on Christmass" is bullshit or he/she is snarkily saying that the real target of people like Bill O'Reilly are Jews (which is obvious, though he has to code-word it today unlike good old Henry Ford and the folks of his era).
