Christmas Under Siege: The Big Picture

All over the country, Christmas is taking flak. In Denver this past weekend, no religious floats were permitted in the holiday parade there. In New York City, Mayor Bloomberg unveiled the holiday tree and no Christian Christmas symbols are allowed in the public schools. Federated Department Stores, Macy's, have done away with the Christmas greeting, "Merry Christmas."

Now, all of this anti-Christian stuff is absurd, and may even be a bias situation. But the real reason it's happening has little to do with Christmas and everything to do with organized religion.

Secular progressives realize that America as it is now will never approve of gay marriage, partial birth abortion, euthanasia, legalized drugs, income redistribution through taxation, and many other progressive visions because of religious opposition.

But if the secularists can destroy religion in the public arena, the brave new progressive world is a possibility. That's what happened in Canada.

The facts:

• In 1980, 79 percent of Canadians said that religion was important for the nation there. That number has now dropped to 61percent.

• In 1971, less than one percent of the Canadian population reported having no religion. That number has now risen to 16 percent.

The fall of religion in Canada has corresponded to the rise in progressive public policy. Most Canadians now favor gay marriage. The age of consent for sex is 14 years. That means if you're an adult and you have sex with a 15-year-old, that's fine.

Welfare's double what it is in the USA. And the Canadian military is almost non-existent.

Drug decriminalization is a reality, as is any kind of abortion. The Canadian model is what progressive Americans are shooting for. Thus, Christian displays like Christmas must be scaled back because the connection with Judeo-Christian beliefs is bad for the secular agenda."

I guess the gyst of this is Canada is trying to ruin Christmas.

1. Did you hear him criticize Paris Hilton's sex tape last night?

I thought Barbara Walters was going to jump out of her chair. You know she was thinking: "you're one to talk." But she didn't say anything.

7. He's a creep alright... what a sleaze

His penchant for yelling "SHADDUP!!" is probably one of the most repulsive parts of his act.

3. Who'd a thunk Bill O'Reilly would make me even happier

to be Canadian. He managed to pin down what's great about this country in only a few choice sentences. Now if only he and his perfidious network would stay the hell out of here, he'd really be doing us a favour.

I'd rather watch Videodrome (the network) than Fox.

8. Coulter is self loving middle class skank. Look up the definition of

Philistine and you'll find her name under synonym. I think her problem is that she was ditched by her prom date and never got over it. Also she hates French because she flunked it by skipping class to many times in order to shop for nail polish.

The right wing in the US and Canada are degenerate anti-intellectuals who think a smirk is an argument.
