MY CHRISTMAS CRUSADE
By Michelle Malkin · December 02, 2004 02:36 AM
The persecution never ends. Denver has launched war against a church group that wanted to march in the city's
From the Denver Post: Parade Organizers Say Christmas Carols May Be Offensive To Others Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper recently announced that next year the phrase "Merry Christmas" will be removed from the city building and replaced with "Happy Holidays."
I am hereby launching the Lump of Coal campaign. Later today, I will box up a lump of charcoal, mark the package "MERRY CHRISTMAS!" and send it to the Denver Mayor in protest of his idiotic policy. Please join me in doing the same (and if you take a photo of your creatively designed package, I will link/post). Send to: Mayor John W. Hickenlooper |
EXACTLY! That was my question WHO are the "some" that find it offensive?
Why didnt the "some" find it offensive years ago, why all of a sudden just in the last few years have the "some" found MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! offensive?
To all "some's" everywhere......GET LOST PERVERTS!
JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON!!
Merry CHRISTMAS!
CHRIST is born!
CHRIST brings PEACE!
There take that you jerks whoever you are! I am so sick of this "find offensive crap"!!
Send tons of the nativity scene CHRISTMAS cards to the Denver mayor. I will send some today! That just infuriates me.
Use charcoal or paint a small rock black - just do it and wish the Mayor a Merry Christmas!
Would a barbecue brickette do? If so, then at WalMart!
Trouble with that is "Santa" is just the same spirit as that which Michelle is protesting -- i.e. a way to avoid mentioning the J-word.

Bump for later
I have to tell you this funny story...there must've been a freeper at the Gap the other day. I was standing in the checkout line and the guy ahead of me in the other checkout line must've wished every clerk and every person on his way out of the store "Merry Christmas". Startled customers and clerks had nowhere to go but to reply "and Merry Christmas to you too!".
Boycott is one idea; that is defensive. We need to go on offense more. We are to "Go into all the world..." Get creative! Proclaim Christ at Christmas time in every way that comes to mind, rather than just reacting to those who would cleanse our society from Christ. We have our private property to display on, we can send nativity cards, say Merry Christmas, sing carols on the street corner and on the streets of our neighborhood, give invitations to church services that will honor Christ, invite people into our houses where Christmas is about Jesus...I'm sure there's lots of other ideas. The people I know who own storefronts with big front windows display the nativity- and are seen by people in public even towns where the city will not allow it in public prop, etc. Get creative!
There is nothing wrong in celebrating the different holidays but that does not mean that anyone should exclude Christmas.
Suggested Strategy:
1. Be sure to send it Return Receipt Requested and mark the box that requires identifying the person signing for it (this will be a mail clerk or somebody other than the Mayor).
2. Once armed with this information when you get your postcard back, post all the contact information here so we can FReep that person--NICELY, since they may even be one of us and loathe the Mayor's dictum...we want to start a palace revolution in Denver City Hall and let's start recruiting with collecting names and identifying friends and foes, THEN we start kicking Democra$$es. Again, we gotta be kind to the people being used by the mayor and turn them AGAINST him.
3. A charcoal bricquet would be fine, it's just a couple of ounces. Return Receipt is maybe $2.00 besides the buck for postage. If someone has to actually sign for it it will prevent them from just tossing them casually into their trash. Five bucks max to start a revolution!
Attagirl, Michelle Malkin!
Someone ought to just organize a "Christmas Parade" separate from the "Parade of Lights". Denver would quickly see which one is the most popular.
great post! HOWEVER--do NOT post all your information, including home address, etc., this just begs for reverse-Freeping by the Leftists in the gummit who might just happen to leak your info to DUmmies.... You need to provide a valid phone number at least...anonymous calls and mail is widely disregarded by all in public office (except by the FBI and Secret Service)...
It's interesting that in Singapore they sometimes invite members of the Christian faith (after all they're the experts) to explain their holiday to the public. That way, everyone can respect and learn from each other.
It stills baffles me that in the U.S. you can't even say "Merry Christmas" in some instances without getting censured. Whatever happened to freedom of religion? I thought the U.S. invented it.
YEA! MICHELLE.
CALL THE CHRISTIANS TO THE STREETS!
BTTT
Ditto that!
But some here will really be offended! LOL
Around this time of year one can also find candy that looks like coal. hmmmmm

Tacking this on here, not sure it's been posted on FR:
Godless in N.J., Goddess in Oregon

A fifth-grader in New Jersey had the word "God" removed from a Thanksgiving poem she authored before it was hung up at school because school officials were fearful of violating rules about religion in the classroom
[More at link]
So are you implying that this is being caused by immigrants or illegal aliens? Who is it exactly that is being offended?
WorldNetDaily.com: "'NO CHRISTIAN SYMBOLS AT CHRISTMAS' Red Cross stores bar religious decor fearing it might be offensive" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Fearing they might offend someone, Red Cross stores in Britain have taken the Christian out of Christmas this year, banning any display of overtly religious decorations.")
