Oh FFS, I'm about as fed up with this whole phoney "war on xmas" as I can be, an "issue" drummed up by right-wing talking heads to keep repub voters distracted while their beloved party robs them of their REAL rights and REAL jobs and REAL opportunities. Way to be distracted, alfanigan, your repub representatives love you for your political ADD.
Thank you for your criticism. I'm honored! I feel like Stephen Colbert must feel when liberals get outraged by the things he does on his show.
Rick Santorum's campaign folks in S.C. sent out this greeting card last Christmas, that is utterly devoid of any mention of Christmas.
SRSLY!? Holiday Season?? Do you really hate Christmas that much, folks, that you can't even mention it?

Seeing as how Santorum is a devout Catholic I can only think that this was sent out to Jewish voters in SC and Christian voters got one about Christmas.

They were just trying to cover all the bases.
Nonsense! This is a prime example of the "death by a thousand cuts" that conservatives are determined to impose on that most sacred holiday, Christmas!!!!

During the holidays, many of us travel with our families back to the place we were born, to get in a little R&R during our Christmas break. It's a fairly well established Christmas tradition (something I've done for years), but now, apparently conservatives are upset because the President is following this tradition.
Do conservatives hate Christmas so much they would criticize Obama for doing something many of us do every year? It boggles the mind!
Thought you might be interested in this information from the White House. This isn't a rumor; this is a fact.
We have a friend at church who is a very talented artist. For several years she, among many others, has painted ornaments to be hung on the various White House Christmas trees. The WH sends out an invitation to send an ornament and informs the artists of the theme for the year.
She got her letter from the WH recently. It said that they would not be called Christmas trees this year. They will be called Holiday trees. And, to please not send any ornaments painted with a religious theme.
She was very upset at this development and sent back a reply telling them that she painted the ornaments for Christmas trees and would not be sending any for display that left Christ out of Christmas.
Just thought you should know what the new residents in the WH plan for the future of America. If you missed his statement that "we do not consider ourselves a Christian Nation" this should confirm that he plans to take us away from our religious foundation as quickly as possible.
WTF!?!
You post this, copy the incendiary portion but make no mention at all that it is a FALSE report.
Yes your link is to snopes.com declares it false but you make no mention of that in your post.
Maybe a way to demonstrate some of the rumors out there against the current POTUS but it is 2 years old.
And a tax to pay for advertising of real trees ? Hell, Christmas tree farms are so heavily subsidized by the government in the first place.
The growers can certainly pay for their own advertising, sheesh.
Really? I'm just curious, I know we subsidize all kinds of agriculture for various reasons that are thinly veiled vote buying, but Christmas trees specifically? I wouldn't think there was enough constituents there, or money/influence to make it worth their while.
. . . devout English-speaking conservative Christian Protestants were the first and most vociferous warriors against Christmas and banned its celebration because it had so far departed from their version of the true Christian message . . .
So if conservatives suddenly believe in the separation clause, why do they accuse others who object to creches on government property for the same reason of making "war on Christmas"? Why aren't they leading the war?
This is all too deliciously hypocritical!
Idn't it ?
I don't speak for all conservatives, just myself.
I'm just playing off the title of the thread.
