1. No because it would then be a day of remembrance...and we
would have the day off to celebrate it. :hi:

3. YES
All Americans must go back to work at their union job. They will take the bus or the train and then return home to their dirty one bedroom apartment in the inner city.

4. We will have to patrol our neighborhoods scouting out
clandestine decorations and excessive consumption. This is, of course, in addition to the regular Bible confiscations and burnings so there will be no time off.

of the Super Bowl.

20. True pagans, like the ancient Romans, were happy to throw
Christians to the lions (between Gladiator fights to the death and such).

22. Guess
I was just trying to be a kinder gentler sort of pagan. I mean I wouldn't want the poor lions to get sick from eating all those bile filled wingnuts :evilgrin:

26. I think the Romans even threw the lions to the lions. They were
some violent people.

24. Yes, and boil the offenders in their own puddings

with a sprig of holly through their hearts! Christmas must be commercialized. Imprison every seller who doesn't offer a "Merry Christmas" with his shoddy merchandise and garish displays. After all, Jesus said, shop till you drop in remembrance of me.

12. Do racists who get MLK day off
give up that holiday?

Besides, there is NO war on Christmas. It is the rapturites who find "happy holidays" unacceptble. these assholes have a persecution complex.

14. Correct me if I am wrong, but,
aren't there supposed to be 12 days of Christmas? If we lose the war, I want all 12 days off! Heck, if we win the war, I want all 12 days off.

17. You may very well be correct, sir.
I have no idea - religion is not my area of expertise. However, I'd be happy with a national holiday for everyday of vacation Bush takes.

15. We need to organize a ribbon tying campaign for all our troops who
are out in suburbia fighting the war against Christmas. It's grim out in the malls of america, but they are there so we can gain back Dec 25 as another day of secular humanistic hedonism. So tie a, let me see, what color should we use? Hmmmmm, hell lets say green and if you can steal any santa yard ornaments, use the green ribbon to tie them to the tree to! We can win this war!

16. Well, you know...I keep wondering why we only get THEIR
holy-days off, and no one elses. Friday is a holy day for pastafarians, and an especially holy day when Olive Garden is offering all-you-can-eat/worship specials. But NOOOOOOO...I don't get off.

23. what war?
there is no war on Christmas!!! Just another propaganda created "problem" by neocon religious wankers to make profits off of the gullible and redirect focus away from real stories. I swear they would do anything to keep real dirt like Abromoff, Delay, Frist scandals on the back burner.

25. Them evul libruls cain't win this 'un
Demand that every seller shout out "Merry Christmas" as he pushes his shoddy merchandise among garish displays. After all, Jesus said shop till you drop in remembrance of me. Commercialize Christmas and don't let the evul libruls stop the madness.
