Did we Freep that one?

"Stores that don’t use the word Christmas are offending 90% of Canadians."

"the tide is turning - what use to be called the “Winter Light Festival” here is now called “Festival of Christmas Traditions”

"Wow, what a great year!"

The prevailing mood of the masses is to call the holiday season “Christmas”.

This is dispite the powerful and largely leftist biased media imposing their politically correct agenda on us. WE ARE WINNING. The average person is not afraid to speak their mind.

If a liberal or two is offended, well that’s a bonus.

A Christmas Tree is a… Christmas Tree & a limousine socialist is… unwanted."

I think that the voting is closed, but comments can added.

Gotta love the comment on that page: "25 visitors landed here within past 10 minutes, and are now reading conservative thoughts and ideas as they leak out into society unchecked by liberals."

I've been spending every penny at businesses that uphold the word "Christmas". No generic "holiday" trash.

The three wise men bore gifts for the baby Jesus. THAT is the tradition and disrespecting Christmas as it is meant to be celebrated is offensive to me, my husband, my children and most of the people we know.

Retailers who disregard Christmas in their advertising blitzes this time of the year will receive little or no patronage from us now or during the remainder of the coming year. Political correctness (or the sponsorship thereof) has to stop somewhere, and at this house, it begins to stop here and now.

To be fair even W acts politically correct when he calls Islam a religion of Peace . Do you agree with him ? Will you take a stand and boycott the GOP ? The real issue is that people just dislike Business's from doing what they feel the customer wants . I mean most business's don't care who buys there goods all they care about is that they sell the most . Maybe political correctness is a way to get more customers ..in the long run. Maybe not.

There are many things I don't agree with GW on and calling Islam the Religion of Peace is at the top of the list.

AMEN.

And I've also been writing "In God we trust" on the backs of all my envelopes - Christmas cards to bills.
