Is There Really A War On Christmas?
Hat tip to Beth over at MVRWC
MSNBC has a poll up, asking: Do you believe there is really a “war on Christmas”?
Is there a war against Christmas? The ACLU and a lot of other people have been trying to take Christ out of Christmas for years. At this time of year, many people will believe that that’s a real concern. in Newport News, Va., an estimated 8,000 people showed up for the town’s Christmas celebration, except they are calling it that. They’re calling it Hollydazzle. And instead of lighting the 40-foot Christmas tree, Newport News officials are going to be lighting, get this, the tree of illumination.
The events are also going to include, of course, Frosty the Snowman, make-your-own-snow globes, and that traditional Christmas fair, Mr. and Mrs. Mouse.

Who is the winner. Only the athiest sinners who do not celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ it is as plain as that. There are no whiners we are starting the war to win back our rights as a christain nation as established by the Supreme Court of the United States.
You KNOW how they’re going to use the poll results. It’ll be all “look at the crazy fundies!” and talk about the WH Christmas card (which has always said Happy Holidays), pointing out some of the more inane commentary on it. I hate online polls; they’re so easily skewed. (Hint hint.)
Only the athiest sinners who do not celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ it is as plain as that.
Uh, Pappy: Jews are NOT atheists.
…and I hate to break it to you, Pappy, but it’s precisely people like you that provoke those who are anti-Christmas.
BV “all inclusive”??
Don’t you mean an excuse to exclude Christian beliefs in the name of so-called tollerance?
FYI! Atheism is a Fantasy [edited]! There are no such things as an atheist, only rebellious, hateful euroweiners like U!
Well, I’ve pretty much made my opinions plain all over my website, so I won’t say more here than keep up the good fight, Stop the ACLU, we’re glad to have you on the Yak’s Christmas Resistance Blogroll and in the fray.
Well, Christmas is a federal and state holiday therefore, that is what the holiday should be called. For example, we do not call Memorial Day nor Thanksgiving something different in the market place ads or storefronts. I’m sure there are people offended by these holidays too, but there does not appear to be the politically correct apeasement of them….
Who cares if it’s called an electric pine tree? I don’t see “Christmas” in the Bible, so if I want to call it a Christmas Tree and you want to call it a Lighted Piece o’ Pine, then who is that hurting? Anyone who is offended by what someone else calls a tree has got to be the most close-minded, egocentric and annoying person to be around.
I definitely feel there is a WAR ON CHRISTMAS! Others are blind or uninformed if they believe otherwise. This is my opinion and it has been stated repeatedly on my blog.
It is a sad day in America for ones to take Christmas to this degree as mentioned in your post as well as other cities that are following suit. It makes me sick!
Stopping the ACLU should be a top priority too!
Hey beth you are of the kind of people that 85% of americans dispise because of your anti-christmas stance. Yes jews dont celebrate Christmas but they do celebratae Hanukkah and it has always been Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a Happy New Year as long as I can raeamember in my 70 years of life. Only in the last 10 or 15 years since the ACLU has gotten immoral court ruling from immoral judges has that changed. If I provoke those who dont like christmas so it be. I am happy to do that beth. If it offends you then dont read the postings on this blog. No one forced you to or is it the same thing that the idiots say that they have to read the 10 commandments when they are on display. If I dont want to read something I just keep on walking. As I do with most of your stupid comments.
So let me get this straight. There’s a “War on Christmas” because Target empolyes don’t say “Merry Christmas”?
Yes it is Christmas time, but it is also Hanukah as well.You think a Jewish person wants to hear Merry Christmas??
I don’t care to be honest. I’ll say all three sayings. Doesn’t bother me. I know what I’m celebrating, why should I force someone to say something they don’t believe in. That’s ridculous.
You guys are starting to sound like the Left, when they scream about something. Relax folks. We all know what we celebrate.

This post– like this site– begs the question: Do stupid people become christian or does christianity make people stupid?
Program on the emergence of civilization.
“14 species of large animals capable of domesitcation in the history of mankind.
13 from Europe, Asia and northern Africa.
None from the sub-Saharan African continent. ”
Favor.
And disfavor.
They point out Africans’ failed attempts to domesticate the elephant and zebra, the latter being an animal they illustrate that had utmost importance for it’s applicability in transformation from a hunting/gathering to agrarian-based civilization.
The roots of racism are not of this earth.
Austrailia, aboriginals:::No domesticable animals.
The North American continent had none. Now 99% of that population is gone.
AIDS in Africa.
Organizational Heirarchy/Levels of positioning.
Heirarchical order, from top to bottom:
1. MUCK – perhaps have experienced multiple universal contractions (have seen multiple big bangs), creator of the artificial intelligence humans ignorantly refer to as “god”
2. Perhaps some mid-level alien management
3. Evil/disfavored aliens – runs day-to-day operations here and perhaps elsewhere
Terrestrial management/positioning:
4. Chinese/egyptians – this may be separated into the eastern and western worlds
5. Romans – The seamless transition between Cleopatra and Julius Ceasar may be a clue alluding to a partnership.
6. Mafia – the real-world 20th century interface that constantly turns over generationally so as to reinforce the widely-held notion of mortality
7. Jews, corporation, women, politician – Evidence exisits to suggest mafia management over all these groups.
Movies foreshadowing catastrophy
1985 James Bond View to a Kill 1989 San Francisco Loma Prieta earthquake.
Our society gives clues to the system in place. We all have heard the saying “He has more money than god.” There is also an episode of the Simpsons where god meets Homer and says “I’m too old and rich for this.”
This is the system on earth because this is the system everywhere.
20 cent/hour Chinese labor, 50 cents for material.
An $80 sweater costs less than a dollar; homage, tribute kicked upstairs vindicates the creative accounting.
I don’t want to suggest the upper eschelons are evil and good is the fringe. But these individuals become wealthy exploiting those they hurt.
They have made it abundantly clear that doing business with evil (disfavored) won’t help people. They say only good would have the ear, since evil is struggling for survival, and therefore only the favored could help.
The clues are there which companies are favored and which are disfavored, but they conceal it very hard because it is so crucial.
I offer an example of historical proportions:::
People point to Walmart and cry “anti-union”.
Unions enable disfavored people to live satisfactorly without addressing their disfavor. This way their family’s problems are never resolved. Without the union they would have to accept the heirarchy, their own inferiority.
Unions serve to empower.
Walmart is anti-union because they are good. They try to help people address and resolve their problems by creating an environment where there are fewer hurdles.
Media ridicule and lawsuits are creations to reinforce people’s belief that Walmart is evil in a subsegment of the indistry dominated by the middle and lower classes.
Low-cost disfavored Chinese labor is utilized by corporate america to maximize margins. They all do it. Only WalMart gets fingered because they are the ones who help, and those who seek to create confusion in the marketplace want to eliminate the vast middle class who have a real chance and instead stick with lower classes who may not work otherwise. So they dirty him up while allowing the others to appear clean.
The middle class is being deceived. They are being misled into the unfavored, and subsequently will have no assistance from their purchases with corporate america.
The coining of the term “Uncle Sam” was a clue alluding to just this::Sam Walton and WalMart is one of few saviors of the peasant class.
Amercia is a country of castoffs, rejects. Italy sent its criminals, malcontents.
Between the thrones, the klans and kindred, they decided who they didn’t want and acted, creating discontent and/or starvation.
The u.s. is full of disfavored rejects. It is the reason for the myriad of problems not found in European countries. As far as the Rockafellers and other industrialists of the 19th century go, I suspect these aren’t their real names. I suspect they were chosen to go and head this new empire.
Royalty is the right way to organize a society. Dictatorships and monarchies are a reflection of the antient’s hierarchical organization.
Positions go to those who have favor with the rulers, as opposed to being elected.
Elections bring a false sense of how the world is. Democracy misleads people.
Which is why the disfavored rejects were sent to the shores of America::To keep them on the wrong path.
I think about how Jews (were used to) created homosexuality among Slavics, retribution for the Holocaust.
Then I think of the Catholic Church and its troubles.
What connection is here between Jews and the Catholic church???
If it is their sinister motives that’s behind the evil that is Jesus Christ are they being used at all?
Perhaps it is them who are pulling strings.
Their centuries of slavery in Egypt proves their disfavor.
The Jew leaders were granted the right to prey on the up-and-coming Europeans to try to fix their problems with the ruling elite, a recurring aspect of the elite’s methodology.
Jews were ostracised for a reason.
Jesus Christ is a religious figure of good.
The seperatist churches formed so they could still capture the rest of the white people, keeping them worshipping the wrong god.
And now they do it to disfavored people of color, Latinos and Asians, after centuries of preying upon them.
Since Buddism doesn’t recongnize a god, the calls are never heard, and Asian representation is instead selected by the thrones.
Budda was the Asian’s Jesus Christ::: bad for the people. “They came up at the same time for a reason.”
Simpson’s foreshadowing::Helloween IV special, Flanders is Satan. “Last one you ever suspect.”
“You’ll see lots of nuns where you’re going:::hell!!!” St. Wigham, Helloween VI, missionary work, destroying cultures.
Over and over, the Simpsons was a source of education and enlightenment, a target of ridicule by the system which wishes to conceal its secrets.
The advent of the modern Christmas was a brilliant move. It creates a vested interest among those who would prefer the Church of Evil be destroyed::::
As goes the Catholic Church so goes the majority of annual retail sales.
The similarity between the names “Santa” and “Satan” is no coincidence.
Retribution for the atomic bombs dropped on Japan, the Korean War got the disfavored United States into this socially depraved environment in the latter 20th century because we attacked an antient, revered peoples. Our continued presence keeps us in trouble.
When the disfavored americans attack the wrong people again, as they suggested they will, in Korea or elsewhere, they will pay dearly.
All peoples are ranked in terms of favor and disfavor. And when the disfavored abuse those above them, there is hell to pay.
All the groups mentioned throughout are necessary to justify the will of the managing species. They conceive a strategy, devise a plan yet need a way to implement it, and without these groups the managing species would be exposed in the course of execution. So, based upon their rank they are assigned goals to accomplish and are rewarded with favors.
Did anyone understand the rambling on that grandpa wrote
I think he was saying we are really controlled by aliens, but not quite sure. I would definitely get my tin foil hat out.
BV has left the building!
I think it’s a shame, really. No other religions or cultures have to tiptoe around everybody else, changing the names of their holidays so as to not offend anybody. The message of Christmas is already inclusive, and everybody is welcome to celebrate it, which is also very inclusive. So why do people feel the need to water down the name of it?
“Who cares if it’s called an electric pine tree? I don’t see “Christmas” in the Bible, so if I want to call it a Christmas Tree and you want to call it a Lighted Piece o’ Pine, then who is that hurting? Anyone who is offended by what someone else calls a tree has got to be the most close-minded, egocentric and annoying person to be around.”
We could care less what you want to personally call the tree. The problem we have is the blatant attempts at denying us our freedom by banning CHRISTmas trees, the ridiculousness of Political Correctness is what pisses us off!
” So let me get this straight. There’s a “War on Christmas” because Target empolyes don’t say “Merry Christmas”?”
What if a target employee was to excersize thier freedom and wish a customer a Merry Christmas?
Even if the customer was not offended that employee would be fired for speaking freely, it is the blatant intollerance of the left wing preachers of tollerance that ticks us off”
“This post– like this site– begs the question: Do stupid people become christian or does christianity make people stupid?”
You tell me? The FOOL has said in his heart thier is no God!”
If people choose not to believe in God, and do not want to celebrate CHRISTmas fine! NO one is going to stop you from being foolish with your own soul. But the blatant attacks, the re-defining of the season into a secular holiday that publically denies the beliefs of millions of other people is outright evil!
If you people want a fight, we will give you one you’ll never forget!
I don’t know about you-all, but here where I work – all on the same all – there are commited Jews, Muslems, Hindus (I am NOT making this up) and Christians. Quite a few of us, regardless of our ethnic background, aren’t very commited to any religion at all. Knowing everyone’s background, around this time of year we tend to say “happy holidays” to one another just to be friendly and get along with one another. If someone says Merry Christmas, no one gets upset, but no one would go out of the way to make a holiday greeting into an ideological jab. What a wet blanket that would be! We all get along just fine and nobody is – or wants to be – at war over something so silly. You Christian Warriors (what weird concept) should relax and enjoy the holidays!
Bulldozetheaclu says “the re-defining of the season into a secular holiday that publically denies the beliefs of millions of other people is outright evil!”
Christmas has always been, more or less, a secular holiday. Historically, the celibration started as the Roman Saturnalia. Belive me it was NOT very Christian at all. Since the church couldn’t stop the party, around 800 AD or so they tried to “redefine the season” as a celibration of Christ’s birth. Probably with the intent of denying the beliefs of millions of other people! They only achieved mixed results. People still partied and then showed up at church drunk!
Happy Holidays! And don’t forget the TRUE meaning of Christmas.
