Christmas. Who needs it? Not Best Buy, that’s for sure. After all, Best Buy is loathe to use that hateful word in its advertising. It’s so “religious” and tinged with racism, America, and tradition. It makes Best Buy shudder to think of using that fowl word, Christmas. But, advertising for the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha? Heck, why not? What could be more welcoming and tolerant?
And so, Best Buy has issued a Thanksgiving sales flyer wishing all good multi-cultural, Muslim loving Americans a happy Eid al-Adha this year.
And how much of their paychecks come from Christmas,
Don’t buy Christmas presents from stores that don’t say Christmas.

Hate month starts a bit early in Des Moines
The Des Moines Area Regional Transit Authority said it based its decision on an agency policy against allowing the word “God” in promotional materials. The ads were later put back up.

WOW!!! – what an awesome testimony…
Even if you aren’t religious, this puts things in perspective. Our little “issues†in life are nothing compared to what he has been through and the day to day challenges he faces.
Be blessed – Be thankful

Mr. Speaker, I am very grateful that my grandparents chose some 85 years ago to make Canada their new home. They left the former Soviet Union because of grievous persecution, mostly because of religious beliefs. Three of my grandfather’s brothers were executed at midnight just because they tried to live out their firmly held convictions of the Christian faith. Â Â Â Â Canada is a country where citizens can choose how to believe, where there is a healthy debate, and where no one is forced to believe a certain way at threat of persecution and death.
    In Canada people of all faiths are encouraged to express their views and beliefs, and to use the language of their faith which is then accepted and tolerated by all.
    At this Christmas season I am happy that I can express without fear my celebration of the birth of Jesus, the son of God. Christians celebrate with great enthusiasm this pivotal event of history.
    I invite all Canadians to respond in the words of the well known Christmas Carol, “Oh come, let us adore Him!â€

Pre-emptive Merry Christmas
Oh, and happy Hanukkah. But no Kwanzaa. That’s right you pinkos, I’m on to you. I know the true meaning of “cooperative economics†cough-Communism-cough. But since we’ll soon have a President who believes in both black supremacy and communism (well, his wife does anyway, since it was her church(Oh wait, that was a media lie)), I’m sure it will be a state holiday next year, and I’ll be legally obligated to give you a happy Marxzaa. Wii. Oh and flame me for hating on the unholiday, and you get coal in your stocking. And you go on the naughty list. And I’ll delete your arse.
On a merry note, let’s all take time this Christmas to celebrate the holiday in our typical American manner. You see, Christmas is the most conservative Holiday ever. It celebrates a religion which gives us our values and morals (which in turn got them from Judaism, which in turn got them from Hammurabi), Jesus, and Capitalism! So please, annoy the liberals-Say Merry Christmas (and emphasize the Christ where appropriate).
Why can you tell vampires are socialist, ever see how they react to a crucifix.

1. Family Discord.
Home was definitely not the place to be for the family of R. Gene Simmons of Dover, Arkansas in 1987. The clan was rapidly becoming estranged from the family patriarch. Even his favorite daughter, who had borne him a son, had run off and gotten married. It was time for revenge. As each contingent showed up at the dilapidated family mobile home to try to put a happy face on for the holiday, Simmons shot the adults and strangled the children. By Christmas Day, he’d wiped out almost three generations of Simmons, 14 all told. It was the worst family slaughter in American history.
But wait — he wasn’t done yet! For an encore a few days later, he went on a shooting rampage through a few former places of employment. He killed two people and injured four more before surrendering to police. He later became the first man executed by lethal injection in Arkansas.
2.The Season of Not Giving.
The holiday-fueled impulse to eradicate one’s family isn’t limited to the dysfunctional trailer park crowd. H. Sanford Williams was eminently respectable, having been an Army Chaplin, a Methodist Pastor, and finally the head of a charity, the National Retirement Foundation. Alas, the season of sharing had been a bust donation-wise and his foundation was in serious trouble. On Christmas Eve in 1957, the St. Petersburg, Florida man shot and killed his wife and two sons before turning the gun on himself.
3. Xmas Pageant Inferno.
It was the climax of the 1924 Christmas Eve pageant at the Babb’s Switch, Oklahoma one-room schoolhouse. The last recitation had ended, the last carol faded. Now Santa himself was handing out bags of candy to all the children. But oh no! Santa brushed against the candle-lit tree. Within minutes, the room was a seething inferno, with 200 men, women, and children trying to force their way out the only exit: a door that opened inward. Thirty-four people died. But thanks to the heroic efforts of Santa and the schoolteacher (both of whom were themselves incinerated), only five children were among the dead.
4. The Deadly Christmas tree.
The substitution of incandescent lights for candles didn’t eliminate the tendency of Christmas trees to turn into pyrotechnic yule logs. One of the deadliest of these modern-day holiday firebombs was Niles Street Hospital’s 1945 tree. When a nurse unplugged the tree lights on Christmas Eve in the Hartford, Connecticut convalescent hospital, a spark ignited the dry needles. She grabbed a fire extinguisher, but panicked at the sight of the roaring flames and fled. Not only did she not even bother to call the fire department (neighbors, woken by the crackling flames, summoned them several minutes later), she left the front door open to properly ventilate the blaze. The building was completely gutted, and 15 patients and two staff died.
5. The Lethal Midnight Mass.
Christmas Eve midnight mass in Temoaya, Mexico in 1953 had just finished. Three thousand worshippers were peacefully filing out when someone tripped over the wrong wire. There was a bright blue flash, and then total darkness. All sense of peace and goodwill toward men vanished as the crowd transformed into a panic-stricken mob stampeding from the sanctuary. By the time the lights came on a few minutes later, 23 people were dead and over 200 injured.
Luckily I love Christmas, Merry Christmas everyone, Not Just the gang at Mitchieville, OMMAG, Kate, BCF well hell everyone on my sidebar
even Rightgirl who needs a candy cane and hot chocolate for christmas but even to the scum sucking lefties out there who want to take some pathetic delight in banning the word Christmas from Canadian Culture. Merry Christmas Canadian Cynic and you other assorted dirtbags too. Yes you know who they are?
h/t Reg whose presence is still out there in the blogosphere for those who know how to look for such things. Yes we here at M.A.D. do. He claims he’s done with inet. Now I’m going to get all the hits he could have sent to Mitchieville.

With his obvious love of food and thick white beard, veteran Commack School District bus driver Ken Mott already looks the part, but apparently took things a bit too far for one parent who complained that the
Santa hat that he wears on his route this time of year was upsetting his child who does not believe in Santa Claus.
So his supervisors told him to take it off.
Naturally, you are outraged at this latest action in the The War on Christmas. How on earth can these supervisors possibly think that telling Mr. Mott to take off his Santa hat will be nearly enough? Not when a single child might still find offense.

Children don’t click on the more to find out what socialists did to Santa. (more…)
