The War on Xmas Goes All the Way to the Top!

We know that Bill O'Reilly and the good folks at FOX News are busy saving Christmas from the secular progressive hordes. But are they alone? No. The Right Rev. Jerry Falwell has joined in the fight by digging through merchant websites, making note of which stores have 'holiday' sales and which have 'Christmas' sales.

Americans United for the Separation of Church and State:

It has come to this: So desperate is the Religious Right to prop up its claims of a "War on Christmas" that it is actually trolling retailers' Web sites and blowing the whistle on those that fail to use religiously correct terminology.

The Rev. Jerry Falwell’s legal outfit, Liberty Counsel, has actually issued a list of companies it deems "Naughty" or "Nice" depending on the firms' use of the word "Christmas." (No, this is not a parody from "The Onion.")

The list is quite illuminating. Banana Republic, we are told, "has 'Holiday Gift Guide' with no mention of any Christmas." The folks at the Gap, meanwhile, offer a "Holiday Survival Guide" that "has no mention of Christmas."

Even your poor dog is being oppressed. Liberty Counsel assures us that Petsmart has "a Holiday Shop, and Luv-a-pet ornaments, photos with Santa, but no Christmas."

Bastards! Clearly, they hate Christmas.

But that's not the most shocking thing. Using Falwell's criteria, we can safely conclude that both George W. Bush and wife Laura are part of the anti-Christmas conspiracy (see photos, courtesy of U.S. News and World Report).




No mention of Christmas. The text is:

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105

May the light of the season shine bright in your heart now and in the new year.

2006

There's a Bible verse, sure. But that's where this Christmas-hating presidential family got really clever; the Psalms are old testament, not part of the new covenant. In other words, it ain't christian. Why, this is a holiday card!

How many people are in this conspiracy? How far reaching is it? I posted earlier about the pentagon cancelling a Christmas party, now this.

You know, when I went to Sears yesterday, the woman who checked me out didn't say, "Merry Christmas"; she didn't even say "Happy Holidays" She said, "Have a nice day."

They're everywhere...
