Dear sweet merciful crap. Are we really going to go through this again?
So Bill O'Reilly, he of the infinite falafeled wisdom, is again beating the drum that Christmas is under attack. From who? Well, department stores. Yes, if there's one damn group in America that really, really hates Christmas, it's department stores, which make or break their yearly profits based on how profusely they can shovel cheap China-produced crap into America's Christmasy maw.
The starting gun for this year's valiant struggle, which will be conducted primarily within the confines of Bill O'Reilly's butt imprint on his Fox studios chair, was the release of John Gibson's new tubthumping screed The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday Is Worse Than You Thought, which will no doubt join other conservative tomes such as "Liberals Hate Toast", "The Liberal Plot to Have Sex With Your Wife", and Ann Coulter's classic "I Hate Those G-ddamn Liberals So F--king Much That Blood Is Squirting From My Tear Ducts".
I can't wait to read Gibson's book, to see how it stacks up against the most famous warrior defending Christmas, noted anti-Semite Henry Ford:
And it has become pretty general. Last Christmas most people had a hard time finding Christmas cards that indicated in any way that Christmas commemorated Someone's Birth. Easter they will have the same difficulty in finding Easter cards that contain any suggestion that Easter commemorates a certain event. There will be rabbits and eggs and spring flowers, but a hint of the Resurrection will be hard to find. Now, all this begins with the designers of the cards. |
