My Reply To MSNBC ? about Is there a war on Christmas
Maybe I did'nt word myself great but my feelings on this.

So dumb. Nobody is doing a war on Christmas. Everything around work and home is the same as always. Some say Merry Christmas and some say Happy Holidays. The only shocking thing & unchristmas thing I have seen is where some of the churchs are closing for Xmas, now that is certainly rich with these same people saying there is a war on christmas and you will be unable to go worship at their churchs. Also, some of these same people talking about a war on Xmas/Christmas, are putting out rather hateful talk for a Christmas spirit. Anyway, around here at work, be it democrats,republicans, christians, jewish, muslim, whatever, we all are having Happy Holidays and trying to help others to be able to do the same.

We are not really concerned with political correctness instead we are just being sincere in our beliefs, having a giving spirit to those less fortunate and sharing.

Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays or Merry Xmas to MSNBC.

1. First the RW complains about PC and then they become the new word police.

A person might feel reluctant to say Merry Christmas because of PC (and a genuine desire to be nice) but now a person will also feel reluctant to say Happy Holidays because of the christian Taliban.

Have a nice day.

2. I told them to stop carrying WHITE HOUSE WATER
...and that every second they spent on this Christmas crap is a second that they could spend covering the number of kids who died in Iraq today, who will never spend Christmas or Chanukah with their families. I told them to get with the program that the American people want to discuss--that DIFFICULT program, the one about THE WAR, and stop touting "faux" issues like a cable outlet with a similar name!

3. And who's war is it?
Edited on Fri Dec-09-05 02:25 PM by RGBolen
Let's just take one quick website comparison.


Starbucks (100% donations to Dems per buyblue.org) Starbucks middle of page at bottom

Target (83% donations to GOP per buyblue.org) Target lefthand side near the top


Both have festive hompages, Target talks of "holiday decor" while Starbucks tells you where you can find their "Christmas blend coffee."

Must be some kind of "Conservative or Republican War on Christmas"


edit to fix links
