War On Xmas Bullshit Continues

So I signed on to Facebook a few days back and found a "War on Christmas" statement the wingnuts are passing around.  As a non-Christian I was slightly offended even though I know this is a Fox News invented pile of shit and the girl that posted it is kind of stupid.  Still I decided to pull her strings.  I got "unfriended."  Just before that I copied the exchange (and missed expanding a couple of the posts to my chagrin).  Here it is with last names and Facebook links removed:

WHAT A CROCK OF CRAP..... We can't say Merry Christmas now we have to say Happy Holidays. We can't call it a Christmas tree, it's now called a Holiday tree? Because it might offend someone. If you don't ike our "Customs" and it offends you so much then GO HOME. I will help you pack. They are called customs and we have our traditions If you... agree with this...please post this as your status!! I AM A PROUD AMERICAN CITIZEN... MERRY CHRISTMAS Do you have what it takes to repost this? I sure do !!

Alan Miller I prefer to be nice to people that don't share my religion. Last I looked "Christian" is nowhere in the definition of what it takes to be American.

Tiffany W_____ Yes it is and we have had a "Chritsmas Tree" and said "Merry Christmas" for years and years and now all of a sudden "people" seem to have a big problem about it. They need to get off their high horse and just let it be like it always was. It was never hurting anyone before, why now all of a sudden?! How would you and all aother Jewish people feel if "they" decided to change Hanukkah in someway?

Alan Miller You watch too much Fox News. There is no "War on Christmas." It's complete bullshit. What I hate about this "leave my country" hatred you're espousing is that it is utterly counter to anything Jesus taught. He taught love, tolerance, and forgiveness. Try reading this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parable_of_the_Good_Samaritan

en.wikipedia.org
The parable of the Good Samaritan is a parable told by Jesus and is mentioned in only one of the Canonical gospels. According to the Gospel of Luke (10:25-37) a traveller (who may or may not be Jewish[1]) is beaten, robbed, and left half dead along the road. First a priest and then a Levite come by,...

Alan Miller Yes yes. This is a manufactured controversy played up by Fox News and its bunch of blathering idiots. Nobody gives a sh!# whether you say Merry Christmas or Happy Holiday. Which one you use shows whether or not you care about other people that believe differently from you. You obviously hate people that aren't "Christian." I'd say by hating them you yourself are not a Christian.

In the Good Samaritan the "Holy" people were walking past the suffering man, but it was a non-holy Samaritan that stopped and helped. Jesus's message was you don't have to be religious to be good and being religious does not mean you aren't...See More

Alan Miller The whole "War on Christmas" is a load of crap. You can say whatever the hell you want and display whatever you want in your house and in your yard. If a bank decides that it doesn't wan to to offend their non-Christian customers that simply sounds smart to me but to you it's WAR. What nonsense.

Alan Miller I'm a jack ass because I don't hate everyone that doesn't believe like me. Sure, if that's your definition, I'll take it. But I'm pretty sure Jesus would be appalled by all of you haters.

Alan Miller You do know that Jews don't evangelize, right? If you've talked to a Jew about their religion it's been because you started the conversation. Muslims also don't evangelize so the same stands true. The only people that go door to door annoying the crap out of people are Christians of one sort or another like Baptist, Mormon, Jehova's Witnesses, and Church of Christ.

That's right, even a Koch funded study finds that the climate is changing as fast as scientists have been saying it is."A single winter storm does nothing to disprove that the planet is getting warmer, but that doesn't stop scientifically illiterate pundits from hi-fiving and telling nonsensical jokes about Al Gore every time it snows. ""Richard Muller, a physicist at University of California, Berkeley, announced the results of new research from the Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature Project affirming that the planet is getting warmer and confirming the accuracy of several other existing global temperature recorOh yeah, feel that sweet liberal bias... oh wait...

In case you weren't paying attention, Pat Buchanan is still a horrible piece of shit.

"Republicans may have found their Michael Dukakis, a technocratic Massachusetts governor who takes his bearings from ‘data’ … Has conservatism come so far, surmounting so many obstacles, to settle, at a moment of economic crisis, for THIS?" - George Will"Not data?!!!Yes, data. Conservatives don’t like Romney in part because he lets facts and events influence his views."Who would want a President that pays attention to reality? Not Republicans, apparently.

No! There's not endemic racism in the GOP?!? That's can't be! That whole "Southern Strategy" thing is a liberal myth, right?


"NASA experienced two suspicious events with the Terra spacecraft in the summer and fall of 2008." - Of course with the new GOP (aka Teabaggers) we will soon have no functioning satellites of any kind and our life will be so much more exciting as we'll have no way to track hurricanes or other severe weather.
