In his Wall Street Journal column today, Daniel Henninger argues that the “unprecedented economic ruin” that many Americans are facing is a casualty of the War on Christmas because “a nation whose people can’t say ‘Merry Christmas’ is a nation capable of ruining its own economy”:

1. good-- we're winning then....

Happy holidays, comrade!

[TlalocW]

20. You fool! Didn't you get headquarter's message?

Happy Holidays is verboten now since Holidays = Holy Days. It's now the even more secular-progressive, "Season's Greetings."

2. K&R for psychosis value

[Idealism]

3. I keep hearing the GOP say it needs to

get more people involved in conservatism, that most Americans are that way at heart. Well, you've already alienated gays and lesbians, african americans, and hispanics so your past record isn't so hot. But now you want to alienate Jews too? Thank god, from this liberals point of view, that you bigots can't get over your aryan superiority complex enough to acutally care about minority rights, or else we might have a tough go of it in 2010 and beyond.

4. LOL! That is in the "nations leading money journal"?

[riqster]

5. The Bush economy is the aggressor in the war on Christmas

...I mean, look at those retail numbers. NOBODY'S shopping...

:hide:

[SammyWinstonJack]

6. ...

:rofl: :silly:

[DJ13]

7. Our economy has tanked loooong before we would say "Merry Christmas"

Try again you idiot!

[RoseMead]

8. So saying Merry Christmas will make it all better?

Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas! Merry Christmas!

No?

Let's try this one, then:

Biggie Smalls! Biggie Smalls! Biggie....

[SammyWinstonJack]

15. ..

:evilgrin:

[zbdent]

24. oh no ... now you've done it ...

you've summoned Beetelclaus ....

[meegbear]

9. Because nothing marks the joy of the birth of our Lord and Savior more than ...

[iamahaingttta]

10. Jesus Titty-Fucking Christ! What the hell is wrong with...

...these people?!?

[rurallib]

25. I was going to say Jesus Christ on a piece of toast these guys are stupid

but I like yours better.

[iamahaingttta]

27. It's from "Team America."

Fuck yeah!

I figured since it was a thread about the so-called "War on Christmas," the more sacrilegious the better.

[DinahMoeHum]

11. A rebel without a clue. . .that guy is bat-shit crazy.

What a squirrel.

:evilfrown:

[tularetom]

12. I remember this same argument from last christmas

You'd think they could come up with something more original.

[dhpgetsit]

13. Get real!

We are losing our manufacturing sector and the rest of the economy is suffering as a result.

High paying union jobs fuel the rest of the economy, so we need to pass Card-check, enact fair trade policies and rebuild our industry. Doing nothing will cause us to sink into a 3rd world economy.

[Uncle Joe]

14. I nominate Henniger for Undersecretary of Murdoch as the dumbing down

of the Fourth Estate is running along in splendid fashion.

[yardwork]

16. I had no idea that Godless Americans were this powerful! Remarkable, really.

We've brought the U.S. to its knees! What next??!

[Oregone]

17. Just when I thought Wars amped up production in a society.

[sinkingfeeling]

18. Guess Bush doesn't ever say 'Merry Christmas' then since he's the one that has overseen the

ruin of our economy.

[edhopper]

19. It's not surprising that some wingnut would write this

It is surprising that the WSJ would print such drivel. I wonder if they would have pre-Murdock?

[opihimoimoi]

21. Wod made him an expert??? DeLusion?? Econ ruin was caused by HIGH FUEL

which cut down on travel...which in turn cut down on business....the rest is history...the oil dudes went too far....

[Brewman_Jax]

22. Bush* never missed a chance to say "Merry Christmas"

and the economy went into the dumper, anyway. So, Daniel, what's that about a War on Christmas? :crazy:

[margotb822]

23. How does this guy have a column?

Are they just giving them away?? I mean, really, WTS is going on?

[Vickers]

26. Hey, let's get that genius general from The War on Christmas over to the Middle East

Maybe he can patch that catastrophe back together.
