War On Xmas - The FSTDT Edition
If irony is not dead, it is in the ICU on life support...

It should be merry CHRISTMAS or nothing else.. if other holidays are that important get a date for them and celebrate them on their special date. I dont like to see Christmas watered down with throwing in every other celebration in the world, how would people like it if we started taking over their celebrations and calling them something else! Ha then we would really hear screams and protests! - Nancy Bell, One Million Moms on Facebook

The War On Xmas, not just for Americans anymore...

Christmas is Christian - if you are not prepared to respect it then ruddy well get lost and have the guts to invent your own festivity. And please don't come the pc garbage about Christians turning the other cheek. How very convenient for you! Christians have always been for righteousness and justice. So keep pushing pc brigage, keep pushing - but just remember, what goes around comes around. And your immoral filth will not go unnoticed. And you can read that anyway you like. It's time for a counter revolution: BRING BACK MORALITY (that's right, the dreaded 'M' word) TO ENGLAND!!! We Christians made this country. We made Europe. We gave you civlisation and you puke all over it. And you know what you can do with your cowardly snide comments about Christian hypocrisy and all the rest of it. At least we believe in something. The snide merchants? Total nihilists without either the guts or the brass to stand up for what they really want: narcisistic anarchy. What a bunch of wimps!! - John Halton, Daily Mail

***********************************************************************************************************
Special Award For Excessive Gentility...

"Religiously offensive holiday card at Hallmark" - I went into my local pharmacy chain to purchase holiday cards. I picked up what I thought was a cute Channukah card to send to my college daughter. It read (on cover)"Dreidel? Check Latkes? Check Menorah? Check"

The inside reads "The fortitude to put up with all that goyim Christmas music? Oy!"

As a Christian as well as a polite person I find this extremely offensive. There were NO Christmas cards making fun of any other religion or tradition. Nor should there have been. Oh, did I forget to mention that this is a Hallmark Tree of Life card?

An apology would be nice but most importantly I feel that Hallmark should pull this offensive card from CVS stores and anywhere else it was distributed. I think this is fair since Hallmark is the premier seller of Christmas cards.
- Gail-ann S. , planetfeedback

**********************************************************************************************************************************************
EXTREME Gentility Award...

(From a thread about boycotting Jewish stores during Christmas) - Exactly. If the jew has to tell you "Merry Christmas" to close the deal, they will say it. In fact the Talmud openly encourages such deceptive behavior.

This was the same behavior they exhibited in Inquisition-era Spain when they would publically go to Catholic Mass but continue to sacrifice Christian children during Passover for their matzo recipes and other satanic uses.
- Caicus, Stormfront <12/15/2009 9:11:30 AM>

Take Your Country Back From...Somebody!

Those with NO moral and values will find humor in filth, porn and the likes. It's amazing how people are all for this garbage and subscribe to it in their homes but block it from the kiddies, makes me wonder how your children will grow up. Shelter them when they're young and then let them do, see, listen to as they so wish too. This country is going down hill faster than fast. No one wants the Pledge of Allegiance said in schools anymore (I Do). No one wants "In God We Trust" on our U.S. Currency (I DO). No one is allowed to say, "Merry Christmas" (I DO). We're all for gay marriages (I"M NOT) and so much more. When are folks going to wake up and take this country back to the way it use to be. Decent and proud to me an American. Kerry Walsh, One Million Moms on Facebook <12/14/2009 8:56:53 PM>

***************************************************************************************************************
Apparently President Obama wants to change the Xmas holiday to something Indonesian/Muslim, but I didn't get this memo and am just confused:

this is what happens when america "drinks the punch" and just give the presidency to the first person who inspires them!!! is this the kind of "hope" and "change" the liberals idiots REALLY wanted? i dont think he has the authority to move OUR holiday beacause he's not OUR president consitering HE WAS BORN IN INDONISIA AND WENT TO A TERRORIST SCHOOL!!!! what has our country come to....disgraceful.... - Michael Rinderman, 1,000,000 strong against Obama moving Christmas!!! - Michael Rinderman, 1,000,000 strong against Obama moving Christmas!!! on facebook

Edited on Wed Dec-16-09 09:18 PM by Meshuga
Oy indeed! I really wish there was a shield for all the repetitive Christmas music. The funny part is that some of the more popular tunes were composed by Jews. I guess it's all part of our plan to catch Christian children in order to make matzo or so (as the Talmud tells us) we can close the deal. Oy!

13. Irving Berlin (White Christmas) was not only a Jew...
Edited on Thu Dec-17-09 12:41 PM by immoderate
He was an atheist, who wrote "God Bless America." :rofl:

But then a lot of religious music has been written by atheists. I guess they know a captive audience.

Edit to add: Click here for some Klezmatics. It's really good.

15. Comps to you for proper use of the word "great."
Did you check out the Klezmatics? I'm one of those Jews you'll find hanging out in jazz clubs.

5. The Romans initially I think. Certainly 1st millennium CE Christians.too.
It's not like making up weird crap about other religions is all that new sad to say.

7. As recent as a couple of years ago
...There was (I believe) a syrian produced TV series called "Al-Shatat" that shows rabbis kidnapping Muslim children so their blood could be used as an ingredient for Passover matzo. The series has been rebroadcast several times in Middle Eastern countries even during Ramadan when most people were home watching tv.

8. Wow,
I guess I won't be so flippant in the future...I've said more than once when discussing things with a fellow atheist, and I quote, "I guess that's because we're just baby-eating atheists." I was being facetious, but I guess I didn't know just how far some people will go to make up crazy, fear-mongering shit.

9. Yep, charges like this one have been used for centuries as excuse...
...to slaughter Jews. Among other crazy charges.

Historically, we are the ones supposed to be the baby eating people. But if you guys want to join in it would take the pressure off of us a little bit. :-)

10. Oh, no...
all this talk of baby-eating is now reminding me of a movie I was forced to sit through not once, but twice, when in the company of friends and classmates years ago...
"Baby! The other, other white meat!"

Those movies made me understand why so many people hate hollywood.

11. In all honesty the Christians got this one too for a bit.
You can doubtless imagine Hellenized reactions to the idea of transsubstantiation and eating the body and blood of your savior as a cleansing ritual. Seems like baby-eating is a routine accusation in religious tug of war. Some extreme Protestant groups still fling out the "cannibal" connotatioons of Catholicism today, but I'm pretty sure even they mean it as a figurative criticism.

12. I'm sure
And probably with accusation that Christians drank real blood in their rituals or something similar. This is a tool that has been used to attack "inconvenient" minority groups.

16. Uh, yeah...
I'll bet they sell this shit to anybody that will buy it.



The words "christian cristmas gifts" gets 30,500,000 Google hits. All religions turn into little more than an exercise in cultural market share domination sooner or later. It would be refreshing if they would just be honest about it although I don't expect that to happen.

Edited on Fri Dec-18-09 01:56 PM by onager
"All the great religions share certain universal truths."

But they leave out the punch line. In most religions, the First Universal Truth seems to be: "We're the chosen people, and you're not."
