Do we need to declare "War" on Kwaanza and Hannuka?

[Cyrano]

A few days ago, I posted an update on my activities in our "War against Christmas."

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=364&topic_id=2725797&mesg_id=2725797

In an effort to be "fair and balanced," I've been wondering whether or not we should declare "wars" on Kwaanza and Hannuka.

After giving it some thought, I've decided that such "wars" are unnecessary. After all, when it comes to these observances, there are no lunatics on radio or TV bitching about any "war" on Kwaanza and Hannuka the way in which O'Reilly rants about our "War on Christmas."

A second consideration is the lack of suitable targets. Let's face it. How would we carry it out? Exploding dreidels? Infiltrate Hallmark and steal their supply of Kwaanza cards?

(For anyone interested, google Kwaanza and read The Dartmouth Review regarding it's origins.)

However, in keeping with the spirit of DU, does anyone believe that these two new "wars" should be launched, or do we have enough of a job ahead of us with our "War on Christmas?"

1. I thought Christmas and Kwanzaa were the "war on Hanukkah".

:shrug:

2. Interesting idea. I never thought of it that way. Now I'll be up all night

pondering it.

12. I think you are right. It's just a big holiday hate triangle.

Each holiday has a war put on it by the other two. It's diabolical.

3. no, we mean to supplant Christmas with the facile, PC Kwanza and Hanukka

that's the secret plan--No more Santa Claus, if Dems are in charge, see???

Damn

those people who think Liberals--the Longhaired LOVE IN Party--will make war on JOY are absolutely insane greedy assholes. May they rot in hell. They can't have it both ways. Either we are lazy barefoot hippies who want everyone to be free of authority or we are rigid Stalinists who want to take away your presents. Either way, they demonize us for no reason whatsoever except their own hate. I am sick of that.

6. I hear you, librechik. Cheer up. Those who feed on hate usually ask

Santa to show a picture ID and they end up with lumps of coal in their Christmas stockings.

4. War on Noodlemas?

Please, we who worship the FSM are not to be left out. I am right now sending boxes of penne pasta to the Toys for Tots program so that every child can have his or her own pasta to play with.

8. Haven't heard of FSM, but it sounds like some kind of commie plot.

Why should tots get pasta if they're not willing to get out there and work two jobs for their noodles? They sound like a bunch of freeloading liberals to me.

5. If we are declaring war

...I'm going to need some new shoes to go with our spiffy uniforms.

At ease...

7. You want new shoes??? Greed! Greed!

9. hell, I'm still waiting for Fitzmas

don't even want to think about other mas'es

10. I declare Christmas, Kwaanza and Hannuka

The Axis of Festevils. So it is self-evident that the War on Christmas includes its partners in celebration.

11. I Call A War on Festivus!!!

For the rest of us.

[Richard Steele]

13. What would that involve? Feats of WEAKNESS? The airing of ACCOLADES?

The whole thing could get complicated REALLY quickly!

[Cyrano]

14. I will defend "Festivus for the rest of us" to the death. Although you

call yourself Yavin4, I know that you are really George Costanza trying to pull another hair-brained scam.
