The War on Christmas has begun!
See: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2601492/posts

And: http://action.afa.net/email/online.aspx?cid=1087&mid=21916183&tid=aa&utm_source=smAFA&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=1087

When will these jackasses FINALLY look at their calendars and realize that several holidays are clustered together in late December and early January? The term "holidays" INCLUDES Christmas!

1. but since they are the only ones that seem to matter, then christmas being their holiday
of choice is the only one that matters. as with everything else it's a selfish country and they think they are the only ones that matter.

2. Dang!!!!!!
I haven't even got all the Halloween decorations up. The War on Christmas just keeps coming earlier every year. Next thing you know, they will be starting it around the 4th of July.

7. They tried that once. Wal-Mart had their Christmas stuff out in July one year.
They took it down after a few weeks.

15. You're supposed to make your own
I hear Martha Stewart is coming up with a new line of do-it-yourself Xmas crafts-o'-war

- hand-gilded acorns that explode on contact

- glittering frosty snowflakes that can be used as deadly shunken throwing stars

- glowing red reindeer-nose shaped hand grenades

and much, much more!

I can hardly wait.

10. Oh they know there are other holidays... they just want you to know that their god is better than

your god and should be recognized as such at all levels of the civic process. Because, you know, recognizing all religions on a level playing field and bring them together to celebrate a season of holidays is JUST FLAT OUT WRONG!!!11!!

To: Maelstorm

I want my CHRISTmas parade to celebrate CHRISTmas — and ONLY CHRISTmas!

If people want to have a separate parade for Hanukkah or New Year’s, that’s fine with me. But to change a CHRISTmas parade into a parade for ALL the holidays is just flat-out WRONG!

JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!

11. Best freeper quote of that thread so far:
< freep >
To: Maelstorm

What an outrage!
A private company writes a big check and expects to dictate what the event will be named.

Aren't these the assholes who go on and on about "let the free market decide"? Then they get all pissy when it decides against them. Boo Hoo Hoo!!11!1

12. There's a funny new Freeperism in that thread.
"This November promises to be the death nail for this nation UNLESS God relents and restores what Satan has stolen and will continue to steal."

"death nail"?!?


lol...what a nitwit.

Who is this Satan, anyway and why did he steal (and apparently continues to steal) an entire country?
