Bah - Humbug!

   OOOOOOOH, so you don't believe in Santa Claus.  Your a bad, bad boy.  Your going to get coal instead of gold in your sock.

Can we have one Christmas without the "war on Christmas" BS?

"The Jews and Muslims apparently can't find peace in the Middle East, but they sure can join forces to declare war on Christmas and blow up our Christmas trees! And who can blame them? They're simply taking the cue from President Obama's government."

Although I wouldn't put it past O'Reilly to say those things...you do realize that's satire? Right?

There's NO war on Christmas. Anyone can celebrate or not celebrate in any way they want to. I celebrate it as a fun holiday for the kids and because I like the feeling of goodwill the season generates, but I wouldn't expect that EVERYbody has to celebrate for the same reason. I don't think anyone minds talking about the different traditions in school, but not wanting a nativity scene in the school yard doesn't mean there's a war on Christmas.

  Come on Doc, were in hell do you get that they are winning at destroying Christmas.  Man, get a life.  You must be a real Scrooge.  Merry Holidays.  Or if you want, Merry Christmas.  Doc.  It really doesn't matter unless you have your head up your ass.

[Sandy Eggo]

I think you could have also said to him, "It doesn't matter because you have your head up your ass".

[Palehorse]

Most zealots do indeed suffer from head up the ass disease. . .  It's why their world view is so shitty!

He's always been too stupid to recognize satire.

My bet is that, even after it has been pointed out to him that he has posted satire in a fool's attempt to score a double shot (against the POTUS and a point for the asinine "war on xmas" bull shit) he still will try to spin it some way to show that he actually knew that it was satire but it somehow proves his point.

Look back at any of his posts -- he'd carry a gun and shoot any non-xtian if he could get away with it.

It makes me sad when someone is having an extremely difficult time and needing to make some very critical decisions and they opt to "just leave it up to God. That's basically deciding to do nothing and let the chips fall where they may. They may as well write a letter to Santa or rub a rabbit's foot.

[followsthewolf]

I don't have a problem with anyone's "leaving it up to God" so long as the outcome affects only them.

What disgusts me is when the outcome affects another innocent being, like their child.

In those circumstances, I would like to see them held and charged criminally for abuse.

  Amen, Brother Followthewolf, let us pray they get a brain and not a new bible for Christmas.

My only problem is, that too many self-proclaimed Christians is caving in to the secular world regarding Christmas.  Christmas IS the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.  There is no arguement or dispute on this.  I personally don't like it to be referred to as the "holiday season" so we don't upset others.  It is what it is.  CHRISTmas!  Nobody is holding a gun to anyones head to celebrate it. Nobody who is not Christian is pissed because they may get a paid day of of work because of it.  It is up to any business to promote it or not promote it.  If one (business) decides to stand up and promote it as Christmas, the secular crownd get's pissy.  If one stands against it, then some of the "Christians" get pissy.  It is ALL B.S!
 
I for one, appreciate when a business calls Christmas what it is, and celebrates it.  Those who don't, that is their business, but I will TRY to support those who do, over those who don't.  That is MY business.  I would not go to the point as saying I am at war by any means.

  You're right on this one.  It's none of anyone's business what they call it.  Christmas or a Holiday.  But I bet Jesus wouldn't be happy that people are spending all of this money on junk.  Instead of on their knees worshipping him.  God on earth.
