The Secular Taliban needs to get the message that they have worn out their welcome.

[Boxsford]

hey, I know Michael Heath. He's a good guy.

[Future Useless Eater]

A good reply to 'happy holidays' is...

'happy holy days to you too'

[EdReform]

The issue has struck a nerve among Christian Civic League members, judging from their reaction to a new Alliance Defense Fund lapel pin which says: "Merry Christmas Believe It. Say It."

These are nice pins! Click here to see them.

[G.Mason]

Thanks to you both.

You have saved me "shoping" time. ;)

I copied them and will send them out with my Chistmas emails. One on top and one on the bottom.

We've got to represent diversity and be tolerant of everything except, I guess, Jesus at Christmastime," Heath said. "I see it as the opposite of that; they're being tolerant of everything except Christianity or Christ."

Somebody finally nails it. We tolerate things like this in the media all the time:

Funny how the left can't tolerate "Merry Christmas" a couple weeks a year.

Why do I foresee a "Lump Of Coal" in this idjit's future?

Find his address and add his name to Michelle Malin's "Operation Lump Of Coal" http://www.michellemalkin.com.


Just a thought.

Jack.

Moral Absolutes Ping.

I've slacked off, so you're all going to be getting quite a few articles pung out, back to back.

Many Christ-mass articles. The ACLU hates God, there is no doubt about it. And a huge majority of people in America are Christians, and Christmas is such a tradition here, the ACLU and their ilk see it solely as a huge target to destroy.

I'm surprised they haven't hassled for a new calender dating system - I mean, 2004 years since WHAT?

Let me know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.

Note: Funny thing is, I hate Christmas. No, don't get me wrong. I hate the Santa Claus, reindeer, decorations before Thanksgiving, advertising and merchandizing tidal wave, appeals to the crassest of materialism resulting in credit card frenzy, and making the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ into a mayhem of selfish indulgence.

But Jesus' Birthday? A favorite day! I think I'll make a huge banner and put it on my fence (replacing the Bush/Cheney sign) - "Merry Christmas"!!

Glad you liked it.

Merry Christmas.

The midwife at the births of Nazi Germany, Red China and the Soviet Union was atheism. And this is where the zealots at the A.C.L.U. would ultimately lead us - to a godless paradise presided over by the legal arm of their organization and a host of incipient Hitlers and Stalins and their executioner goon squads.

All across the nation we are being besieged by hordes of malcontents using our out-of-control courts to enforce limitations upon our freedom to proclaim and practice our religious and political freedoms. In the last election we saw the reaction of a huge number of Americans to what they recognize is a tyranny of a minority determined to trample on the rights of the majority.

Thanks for the link. We're ordering some of those pins!

The Secular Taliban will be stopped.

[Isabelle]

You exactly right!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS

[Guillermo]

Good to see people are fighting back.

Everyone has the right to never be offended, even by the most unoffensive things, unless they're Christians.

I suspect that there would be a good market for a well designed vinyl "Merry Christmas" sign. I'd put one on my house.

[Max Combined]

Kwanzaa, eh?

[firebrand]

I am giving scalpels to some of my best friends for Christmas, so they can dissect the issue a bit better and perhaps see the difference between wanting to destroy Christianity and feeling it is not fair to promote one religion over others in taxpayer-funded venues.
