Senator Won't Ride Horse in Anti-Christian 'Holiday' Parade

[meegbear]

Have you seen any instances of the word "Christmas" being replaced by the considerably more ethnic "Holiday"? Sen. Jim Inhofe sure has. And now that his hometown "Christmas" parade is a "Holiday" parade, he'll keep his horse stabled.

Inhofe, the Oklahoma senator and former mayor of Tulsa, had rode horseback in the city's Christmas Parade of Lights every year — "as his children and grandchildren watched" — until last year, when he quietly refused to do so. (He did help his kids and grandkids build an igloo for Al Gore last winter, however.) The reason, apparently, was that the parade organizers had renamed it the Holiday Parade of Lights. Think of all the Jews, Terrorists and Africa-Africans that would show up! It's ground zero for the War on Christmas, out there in the Sooner State.

Even worse, the parade is sticking with "Holiday" this year — a double-offense so grievous that Inhofe will now loudly protest this atrocity against Jesus Christ:

"I did not do so last year because I'm not going to ride in a Christmas parade that doesn't recognize Christmas," he said. "I am hopeful that the good people of Tulsa and the city's leadership will demand a correction to this shameful attempt to take Christ, the true reason for our celebration, out of the parade's title. Until the parade is again named the Christmas Parade of Lights, I will not participate."

Poor Tulsa. They won't get to see some old hack politician's balls bounce up and down on a horse, ever again.

[baldguy]

6. LOL! godless communists have their own parade in Red Square.

Without politicians manipulating our fear of false religion, we would be in big trouble. You know, kinda like we are now with the communist Chinese and the war our god-fearing unelected W. got us into.

8. Heard at the last such parade:

Person 1: What a fine looking stallion Senator Inhofe is riding!
Person 2: Stallion? That's a mare.
Person 1: But I just heard the man behind us say, "Would you look at the big prick on that horse?!"

ka-boom-shhh

N.B.: This joke was first told about Harry Truman.

18. you nearly owed me a monitor

[GoCubsGo]

11. The Tulsa Holiday Parade will be much better for it. n/t

[darkstar3]

13. When inclusiveness = persecution of the faithful,

the faithful are shown to be bigots.

[blondeatlast]

14. Season's Greetings, dammit--you got a problem with that?

Talk to the hand!

[n2doc]

16. Senator, you know that saying that ends with "...and the horse your rode in on?"

Yep, I'm saying that to you.

[11 Bravo]

17. So fuck him and the horse he DIDN'T ride in on.

[niyad]

19. hey, inhofe, by the way, it is OUR HOLY DAY--you latecomers have stolen all of it.

not one original note in the whole thing, you thief.

[npk]

20. I say we just skip the "Holidays" all together.

Since I have to work on these "holidays" every year anyway, I couldn't care any fucking less what they call them.

Looks like another person who is not nearly as strong in faith as he pretends.

[Raine]

21. I guess he doesn't know that the word HOLIDAY comes from HOLY DAY

but then those RW nuts never bother to educate themselves it's all gut reaction with them. :silly:

[niyad]

25. they don't want to learn, either--I just love pointing out to these idiots that they stole all their

precious little holy days from us, so if anyone should be upset at the usurpation, it ISN"T them.

[jobycom]

22. So if we all go the Capitol and say "Happy Holidays" will he not show up there? nt

[niyad]

24. and do you think it might work on the other reichwingnuts? beckster, etc?

[Hubert Flottz]

23. Two horse's asses on the same horse, would look too much like

an old Ronal Reagan movie anyway.
