Oy, Americans, You're NOT doing this War on Xmas thing for REAL are you????

[baby_mouse]

Tell me you're not going to let some stupid right wing hack decide your battlegrounds, PLEASE.

[Richard Steele]

1. Of course not. It's a FICTIONAL war, a fairy tale created for PR purposes. nm

[Pushed To The Left]

12. It's part of the right-wing's "culture war" BS n/t

[baby_mouse]

19. I didn't think so...

It's just that some responses to some posts and some threads got me worried...

...phew.

[Sapphocrat]

2. Yes, yes, we are.

I guess it's OK to let the cat out of the bag now: It's a real war, and the sole reason some of us wild-eyed liberals over here are such strong backers of the right to keep and bear arms.

:D

[TechBear_Seattle]

4. Wait, "Keep and bear arms"?

Oops. I've been arming bears, so they can shoot back at the hunters.

Damned dyslexia.

[Sapphocrat]

13. Well, in the summertime...

...I reserve the right to bare arms.

[BeFree]

16. That's what's wrong with you liberals

You put limits on everything. Why not reseve the rights to bare arms any damn time you want? Eh?

You let them take away rights to bare arms at any time, and the next thing you know they'll be telling you who you can marry!

[baby_mouse]

23. GASP!

SAPPH! NOT YOU, SURELY?

What about Eartha Kitt's version of "Santa Baby"? THINK OF THE CHILDREN!

[HereSince1628]

3. Fictional war, fictional battlefields, and Merry Solstice to you!

Defining yourself as a victim, and thereby potential martyr for who a god has prepared a mansion, is just a favorite tactic of christianist fascists.

Scotland is actually free of christofascists?

[baby_mouse]

18. Yes, entirely, there are none. People would just laugh at them.

Thank you, I am somewhat relieved...

[HereSince1628]

30. No more radical Calvinist types, then?

You are oh so lucky, or maybe you just sent them to the American southeast?

[baby_mouse]

31. THAT lot having NOTHING to do with my home country, thank you.

Leastwise, noranymore. They left, and so long and it's been great and everything, but basically, it was *time* they left, and they did, and it was good. And there was great rejoicing. Sorry. You're stuck with 'em. :) Scotland ran out of patience with people who talked gibberish.

Although, I have to say, in character, these people do rather frighteningly resemble some folk of the poorer parts of Scotland. Including the speaking in tongues. There are several diferent dialects in Glasgow that could give the gibberish-talkers a run for their money.

5. A shadow dance for the clueless

While someone ties their shoe laces together.

[flyingfysh]

6. the anti-Christmas people are at a severe disadvantage

For one thing, the pro-Christmas people have a first-rate intelligence service. How else could Santa know who's naughty or nice? The CIA is envious of his capabilities.

Don't forget: Christmas has an air force! Do you *really* want to be on the ground as a team of reindeer flies overhead?

[NoPasaran]

7. We're fighting Christmas here

So we don't have to fight it Over There!

[radfringe]

10. and we're making progress too!

We've rounded up hundreds of elves, and unconfirmed reports indicate we've captured the #2 reindeer (again)

thanks to global warming - we've established a green zone just outside of the North Pole.

[riona]

8. I think the war already started today

in the mall parking lot. The anti Xmas army took all the parking spaces and you know what happens when the pro Xmas warriors can't shop.

[baby_mouse]

25. I'm shocked.

Actually, I'm not shocked at all.

[iconoclastic cat]

9. Yep! Hell, I'm hanging my 1 year old's stocking UPSIDE DOWN!

Hair Satan!

[xchrom]

11. i'm working on a campaign to change the greeting to

''Happy HoliGays''!

[dorkulon]

14. What's this about?

Is there some piece of news to which you're referring?

[baby_mouse]

24. No, it's me being dim.

There's a thread somewhere that I can't find talking about what to say to people who say Merry Christmas. For a minute I thought they meant it... I'm not sure why...

:blush:

[kestrel91316]

15. The fundies just up and decided that we non-fundies had declared

a war on Christmas. So we're happy to go along with it, in jest, to make them look like the fools they are, of course.

[baby_mouse]

21. I knew the first bit

I just thought some of you had gotten so fed up with them you were going to go at it for real...

Silly me. Ho hum. Hale and Hearty...

Back to Business...

:blush:

[Swamp Rat]

17. DOWN WITH X-MAS!!!

[seabeyond]

20. no one is missin with my christmas. we love it too much. play in too

much beauty. no one can make it less than what we as a family chose to make it. and hubby just popped up the garage having gathered all our decorations stored at his business. tomorrow we will be creating our memories of past, fo the present and into the future...

happy holidays to all...

[onethatcares]

22. being a tree hugging, gun owning liberal,

the minute I see some guy in a red suit with a beard, come down my chimney, I'm gonna take out his reindeer. I'll show them a war on Xmas. I'll shoot the lead reindeer first, he'll be easy to hit due to the glow of his nose. Then I'll make some venison chili.

[americanstranger]

26. Hell yeah! And it's gonna look just like this!

:)

[SoCalDem]

28. I chopped down a Christmas Tree...just to watch it die:)

[SOS]

29. While being trampled, punched and shot at

while stampeding towards the Playstation 3, John Gibson of Fox News feels that a "Merry Christmas" greeting is essential to the materialist frenzy.

"We've got bleeders in aisle four! Merry Christmas!"

:)
