This guy wants to VOTE on Merry Christmas vs Happy Holidays...
.... I think.

Hello Mr Bush, I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I Pastor a Missionary Baptist Church in Ohio, I, and several other people here in Ohio, are very upset with your response to the Happy Holidays thing that has been going on the last few years, and is getting worse each year. We, as Christians, needed someone in leadership to stand up for us and put an end to this un Christ like conduct. I was counting on you to be the one, but instead I saw you on the channel 12 local news here in Cincinnati talking to your dog about "hanging up happy season cards or stockings" one or both. A far cry from Meryy Christmas.

Come on Mr Bush do something for the people that put you in office. I voted vfor you and I probably would again. My feelings is that this should, and other items like this should be put on ballet for them America people to decide foor themselves. This nation was not founded to allow a hand full of people to decide issues SUCK as this. We all saw what happened when the issue of Gay Marraige went on a ballet and from my point of veiw this is also a matter that should be on a ballet.


and the misspelling of SUCH is my emphasis.

4. That's a great idea!
Put "Merry Christmas" into a ballet! You could double-bill it with the Nutcracker!

5. I agree with the letter writer.
I was quite angry when I went to The Nutcracker and they didn't say Merry Christmas.

My credo: Put Merry Christmas back into the ballet!

"ballot" = "ballet" ???

12. pleased to meet you your mighty majestiness
So, the flip side of this law is if you're caught saying Happy Holidays you will be executed in public on December 25th? I wonder how his esteemed holiness the pastor plans to enforce such a law?

Look, over there! A jew poisoning a well! (shakes head, giggles madly)

oy.

14. "Oy" is right!
I can't wait until spring, when a new "war" can rage over the "desecration" of Easter by concurrent pagan fertility festivities of Ostara!

:evilgrin:

8.  A matter that should be on a BALLET?
Is this the time to be thinking about dancing, Reverend?

You'll note that with this 'man of Jesus', along with the Robertsons and Falwells of the world, no mention is made about 'Keeping Christ in Christmas' by donating to the poor, donating to food banks, etc.

It's not about Christ or his teachings - it's just about being another 'consumer group' that wants to be recognized.

Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus - hope you appreciate what your so-called 'followers' are doing in your name!

9. Oh fuck you man.
How about we do a better job feeding the homeless? Or paying our mili men and women better. Or maybe raising the funding for student aid, INSTEAD OF CUTTING IT BACK DRAMATICALLY TO PAY FOR AN ILLEGAL AND IMMORAL WAR! Fucking pieces of shit make me sick. Your president is a spineless piece of trash who could care less about your beliefs and your morals. All he cares about is how much money he can make he and his buddies. Wake the fuck up you asshole.

10. What a poor deluded sap...
"Come on Mr Bush do something for the people that put you in office. "

Uh, Buddy, your poor fucking sentence structure and spelling mark you as NOT one of the "people" who put Shrub in office. Unless your name is EXXON by some stroke.

"I voted vfor you and I probably would again."

Uh, even though he is no longer allowed to run for pResident? Civics was right up their with English in High School, I see...

"this is also a matter that should be on a ballet."

Swan Lake? Romeo and Juliet? Oh, wait, those 2 were written by a guy who liked guys...Never mind...

Idjit. Sheep. Ass. FAUX Nooz watcher and Gush Pfleghmball listener.
