Complete Headline: University Prof Wants You to Say This Instead of 'Merry Christmas' to Stomp Out 'Cultural Insensitivity'

Instead of saying "merry Christmas" this year, a University of Central Florida political science professor wants you to try out a new phrase: "Happy federal holiday."

The professor, Terri Susan Fine, argued in an editorial published in UCF Today that "we show cultural insensitivity both by equating one major holiday with a minor holiday and failing to recognize that diversity includes those who celebrate neither holiday."

When you say "merry Christmas" or "happy Chanukah," you're not being "inclusive" enough, according to Fine.

Liberals are Christmas Scrooges. Never a word uttered about Christmas on most college campuses. I will stand and wish you Merry Christmas.

One of the characters in Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale had this to say about the holiday: “If I could work my will, every idiot who goes about with ‘Merry Christmas’ on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding, and buried with a stake of holly through his heart.”

To which I would ask, "And what Year is it you stupid sh*thead?

Two Thousand and fifteen years Anno Domini. Two Thousand and fifteen years that our society counts from the "Years of our Lord."

The entire Date system is based on Christianity. All of you who are offended by this, start using a DIFFERENT system for counting time.

Stop using the Christian date system. Use something else!

Idiot.

I think this is unintentionally hilarious and a perfect example of what goes on in a liberal’s mind.

“Happy federal holiday.”

In the liberal mind we should worship and celebrate the federal government. There is no God but government and Obama is its’...profit...

I fine it wonder to wish someone a Merry Christmas not. They don't know what to answer. It's like I am from another world. I want to make people uncomfortable by not recognizing my salutation. It's time to take back Merry Christmas. Screw Happy holidays. Its Christmas and say, believe or leave.

I think what Terri needs to hear is that Jesus loves her too, and that all she has to do is accept him as her Savior and she will have serenity and be saved.

Actually, I think that would make her blow a gasket, but it would be fun to watch . . .

Funny that those who whine the loudest never have a problem taking the day off for a holiday they don't celebrate...

Maybe they should volunteer to work, and they can take a day off at another day in the year to celebrate whatever day joyless, soulless people celebrate.

I say, “Merry Christmas”. If they don’t like that or are “offended”, that is their problem. I would say I cared, but I would be lying.
