You know this keeps coming up, and I still don't get it. As a Christian, I'm not offended by "holiday" or "season" in the least? When did conservatives get as thin skinned as liberals? This is lovely, now we have two camps of perpetually offended reactionaries.
Because it's not an unintentional oversight. This is about Christian haters who are out to destroy our faith. Sound over the top? Then listen to the signs. But about Christmas. It is NOT just any "holiday." It's about our savior's birth. Plain and simple. Not calling it Christmas is really a refusal to acknowledge it for what it is.
Its about defending the spiritual roots of this Country. They demand we take down crosses on public land, 10 commandments from courthouses, prayer from schools, "In God we Trust" from money, (the list is long but you get the point). Its about trying to preserve our Christian heritage and traditions, if we do nothing, they will be taken away.
Wildmon needs money. The Catholic League is in on this witch hunt also; Bill Donohue needs to keep his name in the paper somehow.
This is the biggest bunch of nonsense I've ever seen, to get upset over the term "Happy Holidays."
It's as if some people's faith is so weak, they need to be constantly reminded of it: by the government and now by retailers.
I think it's more about the "minority" trying to rule the MAJORITY.....Christians ARE the majority in the U.S. and people are fed up with the WHINERS (minority group) trying to ruin EVERYTHING!
