"Christians" are waging the war for Christmas at Wal-Mart
The parking lot was packed this AM as I drove by after picking up my newspapers. The good "christians" are packed in the big box hunkered down buying all the electronic gear available and scarfing up on last minute sales all in an effort to save Christmas. How could we possibly compete with smiley faces and always low prices in an effort to do away with a "christian" Christmas? Jesus is certainly in good hands with 21st century American "Christians."

5. christianity would collapse without the getmas scam - kids would abandon it
if they were not brainwashed and bought into the religion, which for kids is just some kind of adult-based excuse to rake in the merchandise and cash.

if it wasn't for all the greed there would be no christians in a few decades.

8. These will be the same Christians, Virginia,
who will be freaking out when they see January's credit card bill. They'll be saying, "We spent How Much?"

7. Conservatism should at this point be classified as mental illness
Everyone who believes the Fox News/hate radio "war on christmas" meme should be institutionalized. I would be happy if some of my tax money went to electro-shock therapy for this particular illness.

10. Have Democrats declared war on Christmas?
I didn't get that memo ...

Is Christmas in some kind of danger? I'm guessing it'll be around for a few years yet. I think a "War on Christmas" would be the same kind of pointless morass as the "War on Drugs", just a little less bloody.

That said, I think Walmart would be a nightmare for the next few days, shoppers today and tomorrow, then the gift exchanging on the 26th.

I'm going to enjoy visiting some relatives and friends, and enjoy the days off work. I just hope I've cached enough wassail to see me through.

11. Yes
Evil liberals hate Jesus, Christians, Christmas, bush, the war on Iraq, Killing Ragheads and any attempt to destroy the constitution. Just ask any flag waving, patriotic "christian conservative" real American motherfucker. They'll set you straight, by gawd. Although I am serious as a heart attack about the constitution. Silly me sees people like James Dobson to be an incredible enemy of the constitution. And it pisses him off to know that there are people like me who actually served in the military who monitor his sorry, worthless, land of the free hating ass.
