Bill O'Reilly Warns 'War On Christmas' Is Upon Us

[DonViejo]

CATHERINE THOMPSON – DECEMBER 3, 2013, 9:43 AM EST

If it's December, it's time to talk about the "War on Christmas."

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly dedicated Monday's "Talking Points Memo" segment to denouncing what he called a "'Happy Holidays' syndrome" propagated by "secular progressives" and "pressure groups like the ACLU."

As evidence, O'Reilly displayed a flyer for Macy's "Santa Land" that touts it will help customers with their holiday wish list. "So here's my question to Macy's: what holiday is Santa celebrating?" he asked. "The Winter Solstice? The birthday of a reindeer? What?"

O'Reilly might rejoice at the news that champions of Christmas have already scored one victory this season: Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee (D) announced he would refer to the State House's seasonal spruce as a "Christmas tree" after opponents protested its traditionally holiday-neutral name.

2. Where is Santa mentioned in the Bible, Bill? nt

[CorrectOfCenter]

3. In the same chapter that explains how to properly display the 10 Commandments.

And decorate your trees.

6. Actually they took him out of the Book of Deuteronomy

Just before this enlightening passage

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy+25%3A11-12&version=ESV

Deuteronomy 25:11-12

English Standard Version (ESV)


11 “When men fight with one another and the wife of the one draws near to rescue her husband from the hand of him who is beating him and puts out her hand and seizes him by the private parts, 12 then you shall cut off her hand. Your eye shall have no pity.

Apparently Santa didn't have what it took to stay in the good book

4. he should take it on the road with ms palin....what a team of wankers

Soon, Santa will need Blackwater (Xe) for protection all year round.
Yet, seldom do you hear of attacks on Santa's family including Pere Noel, Father Christmas, Sinter Klaas or Kris Kringle.

7. He has been strangely quiet

about the War on Thanksgiving.

[Mojo Electro]

8. Yep...

You know the season is upon us when the rants about the imaginary "war on Christmas" start. I even saw a few on Facebook before thanksgiving. Happy Holidays, everyone!

9. So did he mention Scott Walker's great idea that

parents not give their kids toys and send the money for his re-election.

11. Here's the thread on Walker's little fundraising effort

10. I wonder how he feels about Christmas carols with the words "yule" or "noel" in them?

I'm going to start saying "yule" and see what happens. "Happy Yuletide!"

[The Second Stone]

12. Only Congress can declare war

Bill is so full of poop. But he flogs this every year like retailers have Christmas sales. What an awful hate monger.

13. Amazing how people can make millions and millions

on talking about nothing but bullshit and garbage like the War on XYZ and then pretending it is a learning experience.
