LOL!! That was good. Why do I think that one will not be included in the "War on Christmas" segments.

Aww c'mon, neocons , this is funny!
Now, I'll sing you a little song to cheer you up

Dashing through the snow,
in a one horse open sleigh,
O'er the fields we go,
Laughing all the way!
Bells on bobtail ring,
Making spirits bright,
Oh what fun we'll have,
On this Holiday night!

I'll be damned if I can figure out you jubilance.

Are you referring to the Presidents message?

I thought it was nice too.

I didn’t think you celebrated Christmas.

I’m glad to see you do.

Merry Christmas
Reverend Colin loves you all.

Amen,
Reverend Colin

That is quite hysterical Mingo. It completely flew right over Colin's head. Not too much of a shock there though. If it isn't told to the neocons via a Talking Points Memo or Bill O'Reilly, then they simply don't get it.

Colin

What she's referring to is the message "Happy Holidays from the Republican National Committee". They used the words "Happy Holidays" as opposed to "Merry Christmas". I think it's funny, too. They made such a big deal about "Merry Christmas" then turned around and used "Happy Holidays" instead. Should rile up a few of the extreme religious conservatives.

We have to add the RNC to the list below.

Just more hyprocisy coming from the religious conservatives





22 Congressmen Hate Christmas


This year's "War for Christmas" – keeping "Christ" in the holiday has apparently been won. And, like many "wars," there has even been a Congressional resolution in support of keeping Christmas alive and well.


On December 15 the House of Representatives passed a resolution "protecting the symbols and traditions of Christmas" by an overwhelming 401-22 vote.


Representative JoAnn Davis (R-VA), the resolution's sponsor, said the resolution was necessary to counter "political correctness run amok."


"No one," she said, "should feel like they have done something wrong by wishing someone a Merry Christmas."


Twenty-two Democrats played Scrooge and disagreed.


Representative Robert Scott (D-VA) said Republicans were more concerned with the symbolism rather than the substance of Christmas – referring to Republican passage of a bill to slow the rate of growth in federal entitlement programs.


Davis lodged a preemptive response to critics who might question the constitutionality of her resolution.
"Celebrating Christmas is not a violation of separation of church and state," she said. "The Framers intended that the First Amendment to the Constitution would prohibit the establishment of religion, not prohibit any mention of religion or reference to God in civic dialogue."


The text of the resolution read as follows:


Whereas Christmas is a national holiday celebrated on December 25; and Whereas the Framers intended that the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States would prohibit the establishment of religion, not prohibit any mention of religion or reference to God in civic dialog:


Now, therefore be it resolved, that the House of Representatives –

(1) Recognizes the importance of the symbols and traditions of Christmas;

(2) Strongly disapproves of attempts to ban references to Christmas; and

(3) Expresses support for the use of these symbols and traditions, for those who celebrate Christmas.


As the Christmas season draws to a close, we thought we would share the names of the 22 Congressman who voted against the pro-Christmas resolution:

Congressman Party-State District

Ackerman D-NY 5th

Blumenauer D-OR 3rd

Capps D-CA 23rd

Cleaver D-MO 5th

DeGette D-CO 1st

Harman D-CA 36th

Hastings D-FL 23rd

Honda D-CA 15th

Lee D-CA 9th

Lewis D-GA 5th

McDermott D-WA 7th

Miller, George D-CA 7th

Moore D-WI 4th

Moran D-VA 8th

Payne D-NJ 10th

Rush D-IL 1st

Schakowsky D-IL 9th

Scott D-VA 3rd

Stark D-CA 13th


Wasserman Schultz D-FL
20th


Wexler D-FL
19th


Woolsey D-CA 6th
Absolute faith has been shown, consistently, to breed intolerance. And intolerance, history teaches us, again and again, begets violence.
----------------------------------
The duty of a patriot in this time and place is to ask questions, to demand answers, to understand where our nation is headed and why. If the answers you get do not suit you, or if they frighten you, or if they anger you, it is your duty as a patriot to dissent. Freedom does not begin with blind acceptance and with a flag. Freedom begins when you say 'No.'

Christmas 2005: A Message From The President


'Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel' which means, God with us. - Matthew 1:23

More than 2,000 years ago, a virgin gave birth to a Son, and the God of heaven came to Earth. Mankind had received its Savior, and to those who had dwelled in darkness, the light of hope had come. Each Christmas, we celebrate that first coming anew, and we rejoice in the knowledge that the God who came to Earth that night in Bethlehem is with us still and will remain with us forever.

Christmas is a season of hope and joy, a time to give thanks for the blessing of Christ's birth and for the blessings that surround us every day of the year. We have much to be thankful for in this country, and we have a responsibility to help those in need. Jesus calls us to help others, and acts of kindness toward the less fortunate fulfill the spirit of the Christmas season.

On Christmas, we pray for freedom, justice, and peace on Earth. We remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and for our freedom, and we ask for God's blessing on their loved ones. We ask God to watch over all of our men and women in uniform. Many are serving in distant lands, helping to advance the cause of freedom and peace. Our entire Nation is grateful to them and prays for their safe return.

Laura and I send our best wishes for a blessed and merry Christmas.

GEORGE W. BUSH


Amen,
Reverend Colin

Happy Holidays


The problem is Demomorons think this phrase was invented because of our diverse cultures. In reality, it means Christmas and New years. The two holidays.

No, stupid, the Dems are aware that phrase has been around for a long time ...can't you see that it was the neocons who objected to it...you are by far one of the most brain dead posters......that was really an uninformed , Arkansas backwooods remark

Whatsa matter, nothing to do on your Christmas morning but make nasty posts

I agree Stonecold. Or that one page on GOP.com could have also been referring to 'happy holidays' because Christmas AND Hanukkah are back-to-back this year...whereas sometimes they don't fall so close to one another.
-----

And yes, Colin....from the same website the OP gives [GOP.com]...the message you posted...

http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:22LSubRG8_0J:www.gop.com/News/Read.aspx%3FID%3D6019+Thursday,+December+22,+2005+%0D%0AChristmas+2005:+A+Message+From+The+President%0D%0A&hl=en&ie=UTF-8
--------


Also heard that Sears and Target decided to REVERSE their decision to leave Christmas out of these holiday celebrations....and put it BACK IN. Too many objecting to their initial decision.

Now that the Christmas greeting scam is over, the wingnuts will be focusing on the protection of Rush Limbaugh babies from a liberal education.

FOX NEWS

"This is where reform should happen: on the local levels, on the state levels," said Flickinger, whose ire is mostly directed at what he says is liberal bias in the classroom. He said a "quiet rebellion" is occurring among students who Flickinger calls "(Rush) Limbaugh babies" — students were brought up in households where the popular conservative talk radio host could be heard. "They have developed critical thinking skills and don't take at face value what the left is saying."
