6. Charlie Brown and Linus know more about what Christmas is |
|
all about than a douchebag like John Gibson does. But then again, we're talking about someone who thinks gays are the greatest threat to the institution of marriage.

8. Here's the comment I put up. |
|
"Christmas is actually in invention by the Communists for the express purpose of undermining america! Did you know Santa Claus is actually a Russian creation? That's right! Not only that, why do you think that he wears red colors? It is nothing short of an insidious plot to glorify the colors of the old Kremlin! Yes, Jolly old St. Nick is a spy who has been working for the commies and the red chinese for many years. He undermines capitalist economies by a mass re-distribution of wealth every Christmas Eve. And the most insidious part is that he is using books like this one to push his bolshevik agenda under the guise of Christianity. Most insidious!"

19. The Pause of Mr Claus |
|
Why do you sit there so strange? Is it because you are beautiful? You must think you are deranged Why do police guys beat on peace guys?
You must think Santa Clause weird He has long hair and a beard Giving his presents for free Why do police guys mess with peace guys?
Let's get Santa Clause 'cause; Santa Clause has a red suit He's a communist And a beard, and long hair Must be a pacifist What's in the pipe that he's smoking?
Mister Clause sneaks in your home at night. He must be a dope fiend, to put you up tight Why do police guys beat on peace guys?

9. *Easter* is the most sacred Christian holiday! |
|
Damnit! This *still* pisses me off, and I haven't been a Christian in over a decade. Easter is the holiest day in the Christian calendar, not Christmas!!

11. Real Christmas Babies should be ticked at the Christians |
|
Old Jessie wasn't even born on December 25th.... I was, but Jesus wasn't...
I received this ranting nonsense from my uncle the fundie. They honestly need to feel everyone is attacking their religion. It's ludicrous.

Even freaking atheists celebrate Xmas. I'm as religious as the average rock, and it has always been a part of my life. Anyone who would take this turkey seriously has a hole in his or her head. A friend of mine used to work for him way back in the 90s and was trying to tell me he was a moderate, liberal guy. I told her he was a right-wing nut, if you watched what he said closely enough. I was right.
He must have seen everyone else making big bucks from the wingnuts, and hunted around for his own little corner of the Scaife gravy train. Watch, NewsMax will be giving it out with subscriptions, someone else will be mailing it to all their supporters as an Xmas present, etc., and Gibson will pocket a wad of cash, even though nobody will actually read the thing.

I, for one, am outraged.
Christians have stolen the Sacred holiday of Saturnalia and it's about time we took a stand and took it back!
Io Saturnalia! May Saturn bless and keep you!

23. The author is not a Christian |
|
if he thinks Christmas is the most sacred holiday.
That is Easter.
What a jerk. I'm tired of all this Christmas back and forth. Starting already? I don't need a store clerk to say Merry Christmas to me. I try to avoid stores at Christmas, anyway.
The whole season is so overhyped with the secular aspect celebrated by everybody, that it has lost a lot of its appeal to me. I can't stand Santa Claus..never could. (Not that we didn't do the whole Santa schtick..we did.) I remember once when my kids were six and three, my son (the older) asked something about Santa, and not wanting to give it away to my younger daughter, I winked at him when I answered. Then when I said something about it being the birth of Jesus, he winked at ME! In other words, he figured I was lying about both of them.
Okay, rant over.

26. Yeah, they're deadly serious. |

Every year, and this year will be no exception, we have hunger, homelessness, troops fighting a bogus war, and what will GALLONS of ink be expended on in our local press?
The mean old Atheists won't let 'em put up a Nativity scene on the courthouse lawn. Meanies. Just what did the Baby Jeebus do to THEM anyway?
Never mind that you can drive out to the eastside of town to the Baptist Mega-church (who just got a bond issue floated by the county to build a "community center") for their DRIVE IN mega-fancy LIVE nativity scene.....(donations accepted)
They STOLE the day from the pagans in the FIRST place (Hey! Look! WE have the same holidays you do! Wanna convert?)
