You are mistaken. I am a Christian. And I did not attack Dobson. I just don’t feel that there is any ‘conspiracy’ against Christmas, at least as far as private businesses go. Capitalists want to sell as many products as possible to as many different people from different religions.
As a supporter of capitalism and free enterprise, I sympathize with the desire of merchants to advertise with a phrase that they feel will not offend anyone. I come from a community that is heavily Jewish. Why should my local Macy’s risk losing one customer by displaying a sign that says “Merry Christmas”?
If I owned the store and it were my money on the line, I certainly would not risk diluting my profits to make Dobson or anyone else happy.
“This holiday....buy here”
“Include this on your holiday gift list..”
It’s redundant. They say that stinking word “holiday” over and over again. I mute their commercials even during football games. You bet your boots it’s organized, or they wouldn’t all be doing it at once. I counted the word “holiday” used forty times in ten minutes the other day.
I’m fed up. I’m sick of it. This political correctness insanity is now descending upon the birth of the Saviour. They are intent on turning Christmas into an empty day of merchandise. You can defend it if you want, but I never will.
Merry Christmas.
Wise words.
Of course there’s a conspiracy against Christmas. Haven’t you seen the enhanced photos from the Grassy Noel?
“Why should my local Macy’s risk losing one customer by displaying a sign that says “Merry Christmas”?”
No, the real question is why would hypersensitive jews not patronize a store displaying a harmless sign acknowledging another faith’s principal day of celebration.
