Chuck Norris enlists in the War on Christmas
on Xmas's side of course.

Chuck kicks some secular ass and works in a few plugs too...

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=53112

<snip>

What alarms me most, however, are not any economic forecasts, but the progressive disappearance of retail Christmas terminology.

What ever happened to ''Christmas?''

In the pursuit of being politically correct, I believe we have sold out to a neutered nativity — taking no sides to the slow elimination of ''Christmas'' in retail and culture.

Just say 'Merry Christmas!'

Of course I'm not against December commerce, just the overcompensation of sensitivity that leads to Christmas compromise.

I enjoy giving and receiving Christmas gifts as much as anyone else, though I prefer those presents that build up mind, body and spirit, like the educational gifts found at Shop.WND.com or the fitness and other items found at our online store (the proceeds of which go to benefit our Kick Start program).

1. Thanks Chuck.
"It's not commercialization that's killin' Christmas--that's cool. The problem is when retailers respect other religions while they turn Christmas into a hollow parade of materialism! Why, when they do that, I start to think that maybe Wal-Mart just wants to make money...and that means that all this Christmas stuff I'm buyin' from them is nothing more than a flimsy parody of a once-meaningful holiday! Nah, I can't handle that. Why can't they just say 'Merry Christmas' and let me think that they're just bein' good neighbors sellin' me this $600 PlayStation 3?"

4. What a profoundly deep thinker. His alliterations are only the first layer of the
wisdom beneath.

And, the phrase, "retail Christmas terminology" just emits brilliance. :-) MKJ

7. Chuck plugs WND, the baby of far-right-wing tool Joseph Farah...
And Farah is one of the worst. He is a major Clinton-hater, has worked with Rush Limbaugh and has had a near-lifetime of nefarious dealings. :puke:
