33. Reminds me of the great satirical "Dispatch from the War on Christmas"

Thu Nov 22, 2012, 05:25 AM

Nov 2012

Back in 2005, Hunter at Daily Kos wrote "Dispatch from the War on Christmas" which can be found at http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/12/09/170793/-Dispatch-From-the-War-on-Christmas

An excerpt from that piece:

How long must we be persecuted? Christmas is about Peace on Earth and Goodwill Towards All, and how dare the pagan alliance of liberals, non-Christians, hippies and multinational corporations turn this into a damn war zone, where I have to look at every damn sign, and second-guess every greeting, and measure every Christmas tree to make sure that everyone understands that like we do.
