And all of you political nutcases who get upset over a harmless manger scene, a menorah, or someone calling it a "holiday tree" need to get over yourselves.
For God's sake, its a holiday. Don't get all bitchy over "freedom of religion," Christmas is not a strictly religious holiday. If you don't like Christmas, just sit in a corner and be alone for the next month or so. Don't try to ruin it for everyone else.
Saying Merry Christmas is NOT an insult to non-Christians. Hell, a good number of non-Christians celebrate Christmas. I know a family of atheists who live up the street from me, they also celebrate Christmas. The majority of the Japanese celebrate Christmas and only 0.7% of them are Christian.
So if a Shinto in Japan can celebrate Christmas, everyone else can.
Stop complaining about it.
And Target, stop being a pussy. Call the damn trees "Christmas Trees."
Politically Correctness is a disease. Lets cure this nation of it.
and please, for the love of god, READ 1984.
In other news, lets look at my favorite part of the Constitution, the first Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Now, lets analyze: Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion . . . Tell me, how is putting up a Christmas Tree in a town square, "respecting the establishment of religion?" First of all, a town is not Congress. Second of all, putting up Christmas decorations does NOT establish a religion. Third of all, most of this nation, Christian and non, celebrate Christmas, either secularly, or religiously, or both, so establishment of a religion is a moot point. Forth, no one is forcing you to join in the festivities if you're a scrooge.
MERRY CHRISTMAS (two months early)
