A slightly different view of the same world.
What is all of this crap about the war on Christmas? First of all, why do we have to call everything a “war” anyways? Do we ever win wars that we make up? Drugs, terror, crime? We’ve never won those wars.
Well our good friends at FOX News want you to think that the ultra left wing liberals want to get rid of Christmas. They are tying to say that the liberals want us to stop using words and phraseology that refer to religions like Christianity. They point out all of the companies that use the term “Holiday” instead of Christmas. They show us all of the cities who have erected Holiday Trees. On the O’Reilly Factor we have daily rants about who about how secular people are evil and trying to ruin things for everyone. He is very quick to point out when a business has switched to Christmas verbiage for advertising and declares those a “win” in the War on Christmas. Just last Friday he had this to say:
"Some big wins for Christmas. ... The yule-tide has turned, ladies and gentlemen. The anti-Christmas forces are retreating all over the USA…”
"…In Deerfield, New Hampshire, some cops and firefighters say they're puttin' up the nativity scene on the town green. And you can talk to them, if you don't like it…"
"…Walgreen's now says it made a mistake eliminating Christmas from its advertising this year and next year Christmas will be back. Lowe's home improvement centers now say now say they are selling Christmas trees, not holiday trees…"
BIG DAMN DEAL. The people who are up in arms over what somebody is saying for their advertising or their form of decorating need to relax. If you really run around so worried about what other people are doing, then you need to get a hobby. Find something to do with your time besides living in anger and fear. For crying out loud, you are letting the terrorists win. These are usually the same people who have to make sure the house is locked when they go to bed. You never know… Someone might run up in your house and put an ice pick in your chest while you sleep!
As a side note it should also be known that on FOX News’ official website, just last week they were selling “HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS” for your “HOLIDAY TREE”. Hypocrites. They corrected it, but here is the proof of it. FOX is also having a “HOLIDAY PARTY”. Wanna see the invitation?

For real. Do what you are gonna do and let everyone else do what they wanna do. In the end, who really cares about what I say to you? People get too offended anymore and look for something to bitch about.
I wonder what Jesus would say about his birthday being turned in to a reason to shop, gorge yourself on fattening foods, and fighting over a stupid spruce tree. I wonder how Jesus decorated his "Christmas tree". I wonder if he called it his "birthday tree". I guessing that he could care less about a tree erected in his name every year on his birthday. Christmas isn't about a tree. It's about getting gifts, right?
Exactly! It's commerce baby!
