Book Description
Yes, Virginia, there is a war on Christmas. It’s the secularization of America’s favorite holiday and the ever-stronger push toward a neutered "holiday" season so that non-Christians won’t be even the slightest bit offended.
Traditionalists get upset when they’re told—more and more these days—that celebrating Christmas in any public way is a violation of church and state separation. That is certainly not what the founders intended when they wrote, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."

John Gibson, a popular anchor for the Fox News Channel, has been digging up evidence about the liberal activists, lawyers, politicians, educators, and media people who are leading the war on Christmas. And he reveals that the situation is worse than you can imagine. For instance:

• In Illinois, state government workers were forbidden from saying the words "Merry Christmas" while at work
• In Rhode Island, local officials banned Christians from participating in a public project to decorate the lawn of City Hall
• A New Jersey school banned even instrumental versions of traditional Christmas carols
• Arizona school officials ruled it unconstitutional for a student to make any reference to the religious history of Christmas in a class project

Millions of Americans are starting to fight back against the secularist forces and against local officials who would rather surrender than be seen as politically incorrect. Gibson shows readers how they can help save Christmas from being twisted beyond recognition, with even the slightest reference to Jesus completely disappearing.

The annual debate will be hotter than ever in 2005, and this book will be perfect for everyone who’s pro-Christmas.


:silly:

No pun intended. These whackos are seriously deluded.

Notice how people are objecting to it on Constitutional grounds which is A-OK.

Is Gibson some America hating Nazi, or what?

O'Reilly pulled this crapola last year, now John Gibber is cashing in.

That may very well be the dumbest piece of writing I have seen in a while. For the record, I celebrate Christmas, I am a believer in Christ, yet I do not feel that secularists are trying to hijack our beloved holiday the Church co-opted from pagan winter festivites many centuries ago.

but I really don't care if government or private business endorses a particular holiday.
All that matters is I celebrate with my friends and my family

and using it to bash anyone who does not follow their program, or celebrate Christmas in their way.

They have no honesty.

All they have are insults, misrepresentations, and outright lies.

Cripes, what a Grinch.

cant have it both ways, people!

They are the consuming driven capitalists who rush to start it earlier every year and cram the "Spend Spend Spend" mentality down everyone's throats because it's the "Patriotic" thing to do!

Oh these poor oppressed christians. Will they ever get a day devoted to themselves in America each year, or say 365 of them?

oh by the way, Christ was NOT born on Decemebr 25th! MORANS!

of the Winter Solstice. The Christians took it over from the pagans and renamed it Christmas and arbitrality decided Jesus was born in December.

I say, put the Pagan back in Christmas!!!!

With a big feast and a big decorated evergreen tree and boughs of holly and mistletoe and representations of large, horned game animals like reindeer and LOTS of alcohol!

It's going to be great! You should come over! :D

I will be there, with bells on! :hi:

certainly not the stores who decorate to sell goods to people with false piety, right?

:wtf:

I'm not religious at all, but I celebrate Christmas as a time to spend with family, eat good food, and watch the kids go nuts over presents. I was under the impression that most non-religious people were this was as well. Am I wrong? I've never had a problem with Christians celebrating Christmas in a religious way.

Going after the kook-dollars!

Glorious self promotion.

I',m very popular don't YOU want to listen to someone who is very popular...everyone is doing it.

Crack. Cigarettes. Pedophiles. RW media.

All the same.

And, we're going to burn Christians at the stake!
AND, we're going to scrape cells from the Shroud of Turin so that we can clone Christ-JUST TO CRUCIFY HIM AGAIN!

Why don't more people laugh at these idiots?

they did this last year and as you might expect not all of the story was as they said it was.

The evil plan to destroy Christmas is working!!!!!

Yippeee!!!!!




:eyes:

What a freaking moran.

Until EVERY American is kneeling before their version of a RW jeebus.

So I support EVERY effort, no matter how small or large, to OPPOSE the christianization of PUBLIC PROPERTY displays or endorsements thereof.

I am more than happy to humor them with a war. Confrontation is the only way to deal with these fuckfaces, and I start by upping my ACLU dues.

State and church separation - NO COMPROMISE.
