On the War on Christmas... and how dumb it is [View all]

[nadinbrzezinski]

Here are a couple factoids from US History, updated of course. Imagine you were fined 1000 bucks for just saying Merry Christmas? Oh you are not living in the modern US, but the alternate reality where Massachusetts Bay Colony is still around and the Pilgrims penalized the saying of these two words since it was a Pagan holiday... and a papist one to boot.

Of course Congress will be meeting tomorrow, like they did for the first 165 years of the Republic. They were the 7-11 of their time, to quote John Stewart, "yup, we're open."

Gifts on the holiday? You kid me right? Up until the 1880s (with the rise of a strong German immigrant cadre, lights on the tree, and gifts were almost unheard off. Hell, New England (remember those pilgrims) lagged on this for twenty years.

A very loud part of the MAJORITY is acting as if every real minority in the country is hiding behind every bush and forcing them to abandon their traditions. Granted, it is a minority within the MAJORITY, but how exactly can a couple million jews stop Christians form celebrating it? Add to that all the secularists, Muslims, Hindu and other MINORITIES and we are still under the number of evangelicals.

So what is this about?

This is to maintain the utter state of fear and persecution they depend upon.

Oh and yes, last night we had one of these types at the GA... he came to disrupt... and when he started on how they were persecuted because the march went through Horton Plaza and his eyes had to lay eyes on these people, I loudly asked that he be fined 1000 bucks, and then reminded him of all this history. Then I went into the reason for the season IS the Christ, and that means the Sermon in the mount, and clothing his brother, feeding his sister, visiting the sick, and visiting the prisoner... He walked away, I think I shamed him... a secularist jew shaming a bible thumper, there is always a plus in that.
