The war on Christmas marches on. Secularists -- let's say it: atheists -- are leaving no stone unturned. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch said, "Merry Christmas" in an interview on "Fox & Friends." Leftists pounced, complaining this was a "talking point for the GOP."
New Rasmussen polls show strong majorities favor saying Merry Christmas, celebrating Christmas in public schools and having religious displays in public areas. But those in Hollywood see old-time religion as a relentless nightmare of oppression. Christmas makes them want to tear the roof off of a Nativity set. They vent through the vehicle they know will resonate: entertainment television. Here it is: no-holds-barred hostility, starting with Santa.
On Fox's "Family Guy," a shopping mall Santa Claus rocks a high school girl to orgasm on his lap. After she searches all the local malls until she finds her creepy Claus again, this stranger offers her a speech about her new sexual discovery and suggestively tells her, "I know what each and every person needs for Christmas."
On Comedy Central's "South Park," Santa Claus wreaks havoc on the town by banning alcohol (to stop drunk-driving accidents), and then he bans marijuana that had been laced with cocaine (which led to more accidents). So the man making the cocaine-laced pot starts selling pure cocaine, which leads to Santa sneaking into all the homes at night to steal all of it. Finally, a drug dealer convinces Santa to try the cocaine, and Santa marvels at how "clean" it is. Then Jesus appears, and Santa offers him the cocaine. "It's a good high," Jesus says in agreement, so he performs a "Christmas miracle," making the cocaine fall like snow over the town so everyone could enjoy the addictive drugs.
Yes, 'tis the season to be bigoted. And, yes, the Lord is the target.
Netflix put a sick twist on Christmas movies by streaming a Brazilian comedy called "The First Temptation of Christ" about a homosexual Jesus who goes home for the holidays and introduces the rest of the Holy Family to his flamboyant new boyfriend, Orlando. That's not enough, apparently. The 46-minute Christmas special also includes a scene with the Virgin Mary smoking a joint, the wise man Melchior hiring a prostitute and Jesus getting high off "special tea."
Showtime has rebooted the lesbian drama "The L Word," which, in its last iteration, dreamed of George W. Bush's mother aborting him before he could become president. On the new series, a lesbian character shocks her lover by coming "out of the closet" to reveal she's a minister of the (LGBT-oriented) Metropolitan Community Church. The lover is shocked: "You're, like ... married to Jesus, right?" The minister slyly answers: "Yeah, I am. But it's an open relationship -- sexually, I mean."
It's sad to say that all of this feels like recycled garbage. No one is thrilled by these shopworn atheist pranks. No news network finds any of this newsworthy. But the networks have found another outrage of interest and leapt on it.
This time it was the Hallmark Channel, perhaps the last safe zone for families who honor Christmas. The LGBT fascists declared war on the network when, during its usual holiday fare, it failed to air an ad for the wedding website Zola that featured lesbians kissing. The networks were completely in sync with their allies in the gay community. The Hallmark surrender came quickly, and everyone cheered.
So, to sum up: Turning Jesus into a gay or a druggie is not an outrage. Sparing a family audience from a lesbian kiss is an outrage. No wonder they got upset when a Supreme Court justice said, "Merry Christmas."
So be it. I no longer care what gets under Leftists' skin.
Yes, the socialist left is intent on taking any sign of religion out of the public forum and our hearts. But we believers in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit know the kingdom promised to true believers awaits. We also will continue to make ourselves, families and communities we live in a better place as Jesus has shown us to do. Faith, optimism and goodness are still more powerful than the trials and temptations of the Devil left.
My Christmas greeting- Happy birthday to the only chance we have from burning in hell forevermore.
Disagree. They learned that the best approach is to simply create Jesus in their own image. Which is much more dangerous.
I wonder how they feel about Festivus?
Airing grievances?
To a liberal every day is Festivus!
And what do they do with Mohammed?
Smash your TV. PROBLEM SOLVED
I only know about these anti-Christian "outrages" because I read about them here on FR.
It's actually kind of pathetic to come across so many people who really feel that mindless, vicarious entertainment is an absolute necessity in their lives.
Hollywood. Show business. It used to be that this world made movies people wanted to watch. It used to be that many of those in this world seemed like decent people. It used to be that many in this world actually supported America to wit: the participation by so many in the military during WWII. It used to be that many in this world concealed their ugliness, those who had it, behind publicists concerned with projecting good image, and we didn’t have to confront it daily. It used to be the people in this world knew how to truly entertain, and actually wanted to.
Used to be.
If it makes anyone feel better, I’m teaching at LAUSD, and it’s Merry Christmas, Christmas trees, yuletide and golden bells all over the place. Latinos may trend Left on immigration, but their kids are all named Jesus, Maria, Angel, Gabriel, and Joseph, and they know Ave Maria when they hear it.
In fairness to South Park they also have a song about JFK in hell and a singing turd.
Hollywood may go straight to Hell in its entirety the way that Pompeii did ....

Take on the icons of the progressive left, however, and you’re racist, sexist, homophobic, bigoted, or worse.
Took a look at Pookie’s Toons - had one where a dog was saying that he heard “Merry Christmas” upset some folks so he took to saying, “Happy Birthday, Jesus” instead...
One can't spell Neil Gorsuch without GRINCH!
And what’s left spells LOUSE!
