War on Xmas

I have been unable to blog for a few weeks. I don't want to miss out on the fake War on Christmas which is being promoted by Fox News and the American Family Association. Do these people have nothing better to do than start some kind of pseudo-controversy? If they want to boycott stores which use the phrase "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" that's fine, but let's not get carried away and pretend that there is a "War on Christmas" in the United States or that Christians are being persecuted.

I am all for a right-wing christian whacko boycott. But let's not be hypocrites. Why don't you persecuted christians boycott stores that do not "Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.." Surely, those stores that choose to break one of God's commandments in order to make more money should not be patronized by Christians.

This country is really losing it. I don't really have anything to add to the discussion but I wanted to go on the record here and say how stupid this whole thing is.

Gia has an excellent response to the War on Christmas nonsense. Welcome back Gia! We have missed you.
