"Bush White House's Christ-less Christmas" Theocons Ticked at Bush

Bush White House's Christ-less Christmas
Official commemorations emphasize Santa, Rudolph over Jesus in 2004

21, 2004

WASHINGTON – What's virtually missing from the White House commemoration of Christmas this year?

Jesus.

The little baby in the manger.

The reason for the season.

While President Bush was re-elected last month in an election victory many attributed to an outpouring of support by evangelical Christians impressed with his candid outspokenness about his faith, some Americans notice the White House website lacks even a single mention of Jesus, whose birth is celebrated by hundreds of millions worldwide Dec. 25.

The official White House site proclaims this as the "Season of Merriment and Melody" – not the birth of the Savior of the world.

1. The truth comes out
Shrub used the religious right to gain votes. Now that he has the power (legally or otherwise), he doesn't feel he has to put on a religious show.

3. Is this why the WH is making such a big deal out the Bible verse
in his Christmas card? Damage control ...

4. Poor babies
Perhaps they should have looked more closely at Bush's record and asked themselves if Jesus would have approved of Bush's decisions before they supported Bush.

5. The beginnings of Chimpy showing his true colors. He's as much a
Christian as I am a Buddhist. The only thing he worships is power and money. Now that he doesn't need the religious right to get re-elected, he'll pretty much ignore them for the next 4 years, throwing out the occasional bone to them to keep them pacified. If you want to see a truly Christian man, check out Jimmy Carter. I have enormous respect for him as a man and a Christian.

11. Robert Novak: "I'm STUNNED that Bush said 'Happy Holidays'"
Just on TV, "What holiday, 4th of July? He's supposedly a deeply religious man and I was stunned that he would open a press conference with 'Happy Holidays'."

24. Perhaps Mr. Novak would be happier if Bush opened by belching and farting
How masculine. Then a big "Merry fcking Christmas, you stupid, pathetic, ignorant, worthless subjects who voted for me."

12. This is so good to know..
Last Saturday there was a fundie at work emphasizing "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" while I was saying "Happy Holidays" to everyone and my favorite "Season's Greetings"..

Little did we know..her god would come out and say "Happy Holidays" on national tv.

Holidays does imply that it is Holy, though.

25. OH MY GOD. TRAGEDY.
Never mind the fact that thousands of children worldwide, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan, are either dead or without home and family because of Dickwad getting bomb-happy.

I'm so tired of these people.

26. I weep for you, huddled fundie sheep, I weep hot tears!
No, really, really I do! The Chimp Who Talks Like A Man is about as much of your kind of "Christian" as he is a brass alarm clock or a bidet.

The truly amusing part is that it took you pathetic thumpers so long to figure it out. You're this year's used Kleenex - having served your purpose, you've just been discarded.

Have fun!
