Neo-con Uncle Sends Christmas Card Printed by NRA! What?!!

[blue neen]

This is outrageous. There is a typical winter scene printed on the front: snowman, log cabin, sled, shooting star. The work of art is entitled "PEACE ON EARTH!!!!" by Jesse Barnes.

On the inside it says "Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year." Then my uncle and aunt had their names imprinted along with "Jesus: The Reason for the Season!"

On the back it has the NRA logo, name, and address.

Does anyone else see the irony in this? What the HELL does the NRA have to do with Jesus being the reason for the season? :crazy:

I think I need a drink.

1. DON'T SEND THEM A CARD!

Custom would dictate they not send you one next year.

6. Unfortunately I sent mine out last week.

I knew he was over the edge, but I didn't know he had gone THIS far!

16. Too late for Christmas..so make it Easter card with pics of the maimed

Iraqi kids...

[blue neen]

19. How about a card for the New Year?

Those children won't be having such a happy new year.

Geebus, I can't believe the nerve of these neo-cons. :grr:

[Walt Starr]

23. Well, that adds one more card you'll receive

don't send one next year.

2. That's the second time in as many minutes I've seen that stupid phrase

The other was in the transcript of Kenneth Blackwell on the Tavis Smiley show.

And yes, it's unbelievable that the NRA would print cards that say "Peace on Earth." It's as if the Republicans printed one that said, "Count Every Vote."

3. Money!

The NRA made some money on those cards!

10. I'm sure you are right.

Isn't that disgusting. I guess it's not enough that they have the politicians in their pocket.

edited for typo.

4. I guess your only recourse is to send them the ACLU version of the same.

[Royal Observer]

13. Does the ACLU have Christmas cards printed?

I don't believe it!

[proud patriot]

5. get him a subscription to "The Nation" $10.00 for a year

they are advertising it on ARR ..

hmmm...It might of been "mother jones" come
to think of it

:think:

[blue neen]

22. That's a good idea.

This uncle is such a hypocrite...going around acting so self-righteous. A couple of years ago he left my aunt for another woman, carried on with her for awhile, then went back to my aunt. :eyes:

7. Maybe you should send them this card...

8. Paganism is the reason for the season.

No one knows Jesus's birth date (it ceertainly is not in the bible). So they continued the pagan traditions that already occured during this time of year and gave it a christian flair.

15. I read that it was probably in Sept based on the shepherds

and the astrological descriptions

17. I read March

Funny how much it varies from one interpretation to another!

[yardwork]

18. As a Pagan, I don't mind sharing this time of year with others

but I'm tired of listening to them claim that my faith stole theirs!

They have it backwards. So typical of freeps. It's always all about them and their suffering. Biggest bunch of cry-babies I ever saw.

20. Christians pushed out/criminalized paganism hundreds of years ago

Whenever a new religion comes along, it always demonizes the current dominant religion. The pentagram is a meaningful, natural symbol, but the christian religion made it out to be demon worship. Quite the opposite. Amazing how this misconception still persists today.

21. Pentagram

In the medieval church the pentagram was used as a symbol for the 5 wounds of Jesus.

25. yet another reason that it should not be associated with satanism

[evil genius]

9. i'm sure you can dig up an ACLU thank you card...

[w4rma]

29. That's the best response, imho. Right-wingers tend to forget about every

single other right and some libs seem to forget about the 2nd, also. I think both could learn to get along on this.

11. The Peace on Earth/Iraq War thing has been bothering me anyway...

And yeah - I'll bet Jesus would support the NRA. :crazy:

:beer:

[BrklynLiberal]

12. How about a card with pics of the mained Iraqi children? n/t

[bloom]

14. ....

I was thinking about having a card with a picture of Fallujah being bombed with the word Peace over the top.

But I decided against it.

24. Buy him this cool antler toilet paper holder from the NRA online store:

I kid you not!!! :crazy:

26. How about a "Jesus Was A Liberal " t shirt with bible verses instead?

[blue neen]

28. I checked out that Jesus Was A Liberal T-Shirt.

That's perfect. :)

[blue neen]

27. OMG!

I don't believe it! He probably already has this! :eyes:
All set for reading material and everything.
