Emboldened by their Election Day successes, some Christian conservatives around the country are trying to put more Christ into Christmas this season.

In Terrebonne Parish, La., an organization is petitioning to add "Merry Christmas" to the red-lighted "Season's Greetings" sign on the main government building and is selling yard signs that read, "We believe in God. Merry Christmas." And a Raleigh, N.C., church recently paid $7,600 for a full-page newspaper ad urging Christians to spend their money only with merchants who include the greeting "Merry Christmas" in ads and displays.

"There is a revival taking place in our nation that is causing Christian and right-minded people to say, 'Wait a minute. We've gone too far,'" says the Rev. Patrick Wooden Sr., pastor of the Raleigh church. "We're not going to allow the country to continue this downward spiral to the left."

I love to watch people wince when I loudly say, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

Piss on Happy Holidays...I'm sick of it.

"Emboldened by their Election Day successes..."

This is the liberal excuse for everything it would seem. I guess it doesn't occur to these folks that Christians are tired of the ways things are going.

It's okay to say Merry Christmas:

"Merry Christmas. Believe It. Say It. Wear it!"

Merry Christmas, indeed.

Christians boosting Christianity? What's next, Jehovah's Witnesses proselytizing door to door? Sheesh.
