How ironic. Capitalism kills Christmas, not the heathen liberals.

[Neshanic]

Here come CHRISTMAS! How can you tell? Well first turn on your radio and listen to 24 hours of uninterupted Christmas songs, this starting very early this year, about three weeks ago. Then the other way is the lunatic religious chant that starts in the background. "They are killing Christmas!" The liberals, they are doing it!

Well this year, your God of Wall street has killed Christmas for the shop till you drop Christian. There is no money to spend!

Now Christmas will be a dead holiday, having to be celebrated by being near the ones they love, talking to them, sharing a dinner, playing with the family in the snow, going to the church of choice and instead of imaginging being in front of the new flatscreen, maybe, just maybe thinking about what it is that actually makes Christmas what it it is.

I know we tried fellow liberal tree worshipping devils and me with my Hell bound Methodist upbringing, but we failed, and the Christmas we planned to destroy has been done in by banks of flickering screens with numbers.

1. Ironic? No.. there's going to be less under the tree.. the main emphesis is on the kid

and on doing things as a family.. cooking goodies.. and doing things that really mean Christmas.

2. Linus knew.

No other holiday brings back so many memories as Christmas. Kind of bittersweet, with so many gone now, but I know what you mean.

Hope you enjoy yours.

3. So you really think it will be the ones ,Wall street, that will get the blame for this

Xmas season being a bust. You better re-think that as Wall street seldom get the blame for anything, the current mess, why that was the Democratic party's fault, first they deregulated the banking industry then they "forced" banks to give loans to poor people so they could buy million dollar homes they couldn't afford. It won't be hard to spin into " thats why the democrats wanted bad home loans and deregulation, to kill xmas".

Same with the auto industry mess isn't because of bad management, but because union workers get paid to much to build crappy cars. Facts were never a strong republicon supporters view, come on, the last election showed us exactly how they think, we have a radical christian, secret muslum, who isn't even an american because he wasn't born in the US, President.

Oh by the way the last 2 years of all these messes, well that was because Obama was elected as President. :silly:

4. Wow... you hit it on the head... that is exactly what is going on..

Here's a comment from a Wall Street Newsletter which says,..basically,... "It's all the workers fault". They claim it is the WORKERS that sent jobs to China.. HUH? WTF? This newsletter is ful of crap. Don't waste your time reading it... I just posted as an example of how the Repukes are once again gaming the system.

(snip)

Unions that have monopolies on the labor in the industries they organize have driven off shore every industry except autos, airlines, health care and government services. Health care, airlines and autos are all bankrupt or passing the cost to consumers for the excess compensation; the only industries which could not leave by definition. Now they want to expand there reach to Wal-Mart and others who have remained competitive, and they expect Obama and the Democratic Party to pass laws which will make their organizing activities subject to thugs and fraught with peril for those that dare to cross the bullies. The elite poster child of this effort will be Wal-Mart. Everyday low prices will disappear for everybody so a few unionized employees can be OVERPAID.

Barack Obama has now been elected and his policies will mirror those of Franklin Roosevelt. A new “NEW DEAL” looms and just as the new deal lead to a lost decade economically, it will do so NOW. Hope is not a good trading strategy or a recipe for economic growth. The “something for nothing” constituent will now demand government DO SOMETHING and a wrecking ball looms in our futures. There will be a DEPRESSION and, although deflationary NOW, hyperinflation looms as EVERY government solution will CONSUME more then it creates, producing vast new requirements for MONEY and credit creation; also known as the printing press and deficit spending. They are putting NOOSES around the necks of the public, for now and the FUTURE.

5. You Mean the Very "Capitalism" That the Religious Right Wing Pretty For?

The religious found a way to brainwash lost souls, and make them into devout consumers... yet they are mad at liberals. lol

That's about as elfed-up as it gets in Santaland.
