PAT BOONE wraps up the "War on Christmas" with a stoopid rant

(No, that's not retouched :rofl:)

If I can't say merry ...
Posted: December 24, 2005

....For all our lives, up to this very year, cheerful clerks in most every store have called out "Merry !" And we've happily responded, "Same to you, Happy New Year!" And these friendly, exuberant exchanges have not only lightened the stress of shopping but brightened the general atmosphere � to the point where people have actually ventured "I wish time could last all year!"

I don't remember once, ever, hearing somebody object to the cheery greeting. Do you? Ever hear "I don't believe in Jesus, so I wish you wouldn't say that" from any individual? I didn't think so.

None but the most alienated, even bigoted, would deny a nation of predominately Christian people the happy freedom of expressing joy and good wishes during what's always been the happiest season of our year. And even those narrow-minded few don't deny themselves the perks and privileges of days off, sales, parties and other celebrations � none of which would exist were it not for � not for � you know....

And if I still get fuss from the ACLU or other Grinches and Scrooges, I'll � why, I'll just respond cheerily, in my best Tiny Tim manner, "God bless us, one and all! And you have a happy hollowday!"

I liked him better during his heavy metal phase.

10. The first couple of paragraphs make sense

....For all our lives, up to this very year, cheerful clerks in most every store have called out "Merry !" And we've happily responded, "Same to you, Happy New Year!" And these friendly, exuberant exchanges have not only lightened the stress of shopping but brightened the general atmosphere � to the point where people have actually ventured "I wish time could last all year!"

I don't remember once, ever, hearing somebody object to the cheery greeting. Do you? Ever hear "I don't believe in Jesus, so I wish you wouldn't say that" from any individual? I didn't think so.

One of the better arguments against the "War on Christmas" that I've heard.

11. Pat Boone .....with a grain of salt,

This is the same dude that now dresses in fringed leather, bedecked in jewels. I grew up with "Love letters in the Sand", so innocent and all American Pat Boone. He is now embarrassing. What ever happened to growing old gracefully?

13. Laura Ingram tell Pat Boone to

"Shut Up and Sing" just like the title of your book tells progressive musicians or liberal movie stars to do whenever they publically speak out on an issue.
