We warned you, America. The "war on Christmas" IS escalating
We warned America that you give the 'christian' Right "Merry Christmas" over "Happy Holidays", they won't be satisfied, they WILL come back for more. And, they did just that.

Story is from WorldNutDaily, sorry.

Restoring 'Christmas' doesn't redeem Wal-Mart, critics say
American Family Association: Support for 'gays' objectionable

Using "Christmas" for its sales and promotions during this season is appropriate, and good, but it doesn't redeem Wal-Mart's sudden lurch to the left when it joined the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, according to one of the biggest pro-family groups in the United States.

"Wal-Mart should remember that the majority of people in this country do not support things like same-sex marriage, and don't want the company giving money to groups that do support it," American Family Association Chairman Donald E. Wildmon said. "Shopping at retailers other than Wal-Mart might remind the company of that fact."

His group applauded Wal-Mart's announcement this week that it had decided to restore "Christmas" to the holidays, in its advertising, in store greetings, and other venues. The company a year ago had steadfastly stuck with "Happy Holidays," which ignored the reason for the season.

Another corporate branch, Sam's Club, confirmed in August, just days after the AFA launched a campaign encouraging officials there to return "Christmas" to its "holiday" events too, that it would highlight the Christian event in publications.

Donald Wildmon, the American People have rejected YOU. We need to come up with some way to show him and his ilk just that.

6. Why not "merry christmas" yourselves to the local food bank or women's shelter?
I welcome their "War on Christmas" -- it would be good for the country to critically examine fundy motives as well as responsible spending, etc. Honestly, what a bunch of malarkey! :eyes:

7. Yes! That's right! Wal-Mart is evil, pro-gay, anti-family and anti-christian!
I will agree with whatever keeps people away from Wal-Mart!

In fact, I'll even join anti-gay protests targeting Wal-Mart!

If Focus On The Family shows-up to picket Wal-Mart, I'll fuckin' join them!

Die, Wal-Mart, DIE!
