Anyway, this is the first time anyone has been asked to be burninated. Usually, all the peasants just run away screaming... I think I'm going to like this.
"Merry Christmas" Vs. "Happy Holidays"posted Dec 18th 2008, 3:39PM
Okay, here's the thing: A few years back, everyone said Merry Christmas. Do you know why? Because it wasn't about a religion! It was about something that was so important to our society that we decided that were just going to go along with it even if I disagree with the religion behind it.
What do people say now? "Happy holidays... You see, I'm saying happy holidays because I don't believe in Christmas, and I don't want to offend you, and I don't believe in it, and I blah blah blah blah blah BLAH!"
THIS OVERUSE OF THE WORD "OFFENSIVE" IS DRIVING ME OUT OF MY MIND! I mean, "Excuse me sir, which one is more offensive to you, the 'Peace on earth' or the 'Good will towards men' rhetoric?"
It is such a disingenuous argument! It is not real! "Oh yes, we want to say 'Happy Holidays' so that we don't leave anybody out." Really? How come there are a bunch of holidays in February, and you never hear anyone say "Happy Holidays", do you? They say what it is: "Happy Valentines... OOOH! Do you believe in love? "
If you don't believe in it, fine. But I've got a flash for you: Christianity happens to be the believe system of this country, whether you like it or not. Christianity happen to be the belief system of 99.9% of the founding fathers, whether you like it or not. Every single one of the founding fathers said that the Bible was to be used as the cornerstone for all the ethics and laws in this country. And they said that it should be taught IN SCHOOL so kids would know where their ethics come from!
So if you don't believe in Christmas, and you don't want to celebrate it, and you don't like it, God bless your heart. But if you think for one minute you're going to get me to stop saying it because it might offend someone, Hey I got flash for ya, I'M STILL SAYING IT!
If I have to endure one more stinkin' Christmas with people saying that it's offensive to say Christmas at CHRISTMASTIME, I'm going to puke... Then I'm going to take that puke, but it in a box with a big red ribbon on it, send it over to the ACLU with a big fat Merry Christmas sign on it!
