Why I’m for the War on Christmas (Barf)

And the bells chimed for victory at 1211 Avenue of the Americas.

The so-called War on Christmas, says overpaid bloviator Bill O’Reilly, has been won by his god-fearing, flag-flourishing side.

“We won the war,” the Fox News personality proclaimed last week. “I have to confess, you know, I’m like a guerrilla fighter in the War on Christmas…We did this War on Christmas thing for about 10 years. This is the first year I didn’t get one call or letter saying, ‘This store has said it won’t say [“Merry Christmas”].’”

Hallelujah.

From the author's last name I would guess he or his ancestors are from an area in Southeast Asia. How would he feel if I went over there and started to mock one of their important cultural/religious holidays. Further I demand that in the name of diversity they tone down that holiday so I do not feel so excluded. I am sure he would not like that. If living in a culturally Christian which has tons of room for other cultures and traditions offends you Mr. Suebsaeng I recommend you go back to your home country.

I give?

What is 1211 “Avenue of the Americas”.

[C19fan]

I believe that is the Manhattan address of Fox News.

I can’t wait for him to do a similar screed on Eid Mubarak.

Crap on Lenin’s Birthday (aka Earth Day) or International Communist Women’s Day (May 1st) and you’ll receive the wrath of liberals in the establishment media.

I do not bow to their mortal gods and do not like them being imposed on government or schools.

He is a nice little metrosexual boytoy that writes for Mother Jones and Slate. Google him, he looks a lot like hot coco boy.

Merry Christmas All!

Correction “Women’s Day” is March 8th, International Worker’s Day is May 1st.

Both are still international communist celebrations.

[Huskrrrr]

These wars are usually being fought internally.

Not only is he wrong—but the true patriots are the ones standing up for pluralism in America.

Said the guy who is very wrong.

[Slings and Arrows]

What a whiner.

[bandleader]

“Needle Park”???????????????

[miss marmelstein]

6th Avenue, home of Fox.

[miss marmelstein]

Does this guy know anything about NYC? NO ONE, BUT NO ONE, calls it the Avenue of the Americas!

[ripley]

“...but the true patriots are the ones standing up for pluralism in America...”

There they go again, subverting the word “patriot” to fit the meaning they want it to have.

origin not certain)

What’s w the Google artwork today at Christmas? Do they know it’s to celebrate the birthday of a person who lived?

The “war on Christmas” isn't the clerk saying “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas” or schools not singing carols or having Winter break instead of Christmas vacation.
It is that manly church goers in America are more outraged and moved to action by the clerk and the school than the fact that there are 100’s of millions of people in this world who have never heard of Jesus.

[fungoking]

Manly=many. Though as a group we men have been failing in our jobs as spiritual leaders.

[Calvin Locke]

Good guess. Since he's written for a Bangkok paper, that may further narrow it down.

The small head shot I saw suggests an Asian, gender-neutral, appearance, whether intentional emphasized or not.

I spent a night at Ft. Dix on the way home form the Army and that is about all I know about the east coast. Needle park sounds like a heron hot spot.

I haven't been to google for years.
