RUSH: Look at this. Slate.com: "Donald Trump Is Trying to Take Ownership of the Phrase 'Merry Christmas' -- Donald Trump spoke at a rally earlier this week, and the front of the podium was a big red sign that said, 'Merry Christmas, USA.'" It only stands to reason that a bunch of secular wacko leftists would be offended by this.
I think that's why Trump did it, in part. He did it to bring it back. Christmas is a national holiday. It is from the religion that established at that the founding of this country. Not official religion; don't misunderstand me, you stoops in the media. You know what I mean. They've done their best to wipe Christianity and vestiges of all Christian holidays out of our culture. Trump is bringing it back and they're offended. Ben Mathis-Lilley writes, "So now the phrase Merry Christmas ... has been officially weaponized into the partisan slogan of a president elected on a wave of hateful rhetoric about, among others, refugees."
And he says (this is the end of this little Slate piece), "Truly, it's what a Middle Eastern Jew who was born in a barn because no one else would take his parents in would have wanted."
You know the pope is out today saying something like this? The pope is equating Mary and Joseph to Syrian and Islamic Jihad refugees, and trying to say that we in the United States better be careful because we might be rejecting the next Mary and Joseph. They've tried this before. Mary and Joseph used to be representatives of the homeless. Now they are representatives of illegal immigrants and weaponized jihadists.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: It's a website called JihadWatch.org. This is the headline: "Pope: Christmas Reminds Us That Jesus Was a Migrant." It wasn't very long that Jesus was homeless. Well, his parents were homeless.
The homeless used Mary and Joseph to raise sympathy and awareness for the plight of the homeless and tried to frightened people and say, "You know what, if you deny that man and wife shelter, that could be the next Mary and Joseph because, you know, Mary and Joseph were homeless, and the Christ child was born of homeless parents who were turned out by an equally mean society."
And now they're doing it with jihadists. Now they're doing it with illegal immigrants. Now they're doing it with refugees. And I'm gonna tell you something, folks. Besides Angela Merkel and Obama, you gotta put the pope right in there with world leaders who are helping to spread and sanction this whole idea of Islamic supremacism based on the fact that we all need to share Islamic guilt. Comparing Jesus to the invaders of Europe who are committing all of these atrocities?
My gosh, the left has just infected everything that it has touched. It's a poison. Christmas reminds us that Jesus was a migrant. Yeah, I remember when Jesus killed 130 people in Paris. I remember when Jesus wiped out people in San Bernardino. And I remember when Jesus attacked the military at Fort Hood. Yeah. I remember when Jesus hijacked three airplanes and flew them into the World Trade Center. What kind of insanity is this? It's everywhere, and it's all because Hillary Clinton lost the election.
They have all become unhinged, unable to accept it, unable to deal with losing the election.
END TRANSCRIPT
Sometimes, I have to say that this pope doesn’t have a clue as to how the world really works. Or if he does, then his goals are completely different that most Catholics I know.
He seems to be catering to the Cafeteria Catholic, or CINO.
Classic headline.
Not to argue bible with the Pope, but Joseph wasn’t a migrant. He went to Bethlehem because of a decree of an emperor that said everybody had to do so.
He fled to Egypt because a local King was trying to kill his son. Then he ended up going back home.
He wasn’t really even a refugee, he was a specifically targeted individual.
This Pope doesn't have a clue how the Spirit works. Follow this deceiver at the peril of your eternity.
Who would ever guess that the Anti-Christ would send a comedian dressed up as a Pope to soften up the crowd?
too true
Open mouth, insert foot. Frankie the idiot pope just needs to STFU.
This pope is a crazy, ugly, detestable Latin American populist Marxist who doesn’t believe in a darn thing except his power. He’s being manipulated by other people, of course, who puff up his enormous ego all the time (typical dictator stuff), because he’s not a smart or educated man. Just a ruthless one.
I guess blasphemy is no problem when you are a form of anti-Christ.
I already bought the new statue. Jesus with a suicide vest on and an AK47 in his hand.
Just doesn’t feel the same though...
From the account in St. Luke, your case is even stronger than that. St. Joseph went to Jerusalem because the Emperor said everyone must register at the city of his family's origin. He wasn't a migrant in Jerusalem because he was descended from King David. He wasn't, say, descended from Aztecs.
He went to be counted in the Census
Thanks. I agree with you.
The pope needs to go on a bible retreat....and read it.
Has he forgotten all of his Bible study of the Word with senility?
Doesn’t he have biblical scholars to edit the blatant errors in speeches and writings?
Could he be a faux-Catholic insert who is unschooled, similar to our current leadership?
I think he’s a liberation theologian whose bible skills were irrelevant compared to his political training.
My serious opinion.
Just as there’s black liberation theology, there is latin liberation theology?
Or is it catholic (small c) liberation theology?
Or is it just a catholic communist amalgamation?
.
Its standard jesuit stupidity.
