After watching a video of puppet Limbaugh
And Santa refusing to drop presents on red states....

and there seems to be a hullabaloo about Christmas and liberalism (re O'Reilly) so.....do red states and true christians refuse to endorse Santa Claus???? He certainly had nothing to do with Christ and God and such....seems to me that they would outlaw Santa Claus - you know a fictional charactor with magical powers and little elves working for him........

The fundies never much liked Harry Potter and even tried to have the books outlawed because it was encouraging young people to beleive in magic.....so is Santa outlawed or what???

If I could call in to O'Reilly - I would ask him that very question.

1. I know some fundies
who won't allow their kids to believe in Santa because of the "magic" aspect of it. There's even some who don't celebrate Christmas at all because they consider it a pagan holiday picked up by the "satanic" Catholic church.

7. Saint Nicholas is a Catholic saint, so unless you're anti-Catholic, there
isn't much you can say about Santa being un-Christian.

5. Did you get the video on the Net?
or is it from a private source.

I would love to see it.
