MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!

[Aetius]

Good; its a nauseating phrase considering why it is use.

[blackeagle]

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[texasflower]

Good for him. The rest of us need to do the same thing.

Good; its a nauseating phrase considering why it is in use.

Pretty soon, they'll find "holidays" too religious to pass Constitutional muster, and that word also shall be banned, excluded from free speech as an obscene affront to freedom from religion. How shall we replace it? Shall we just not celebrate Christmas, or not celebrate the Solemnity on New Years'? Go to work or school through the traditional winter break? Eternally forbid Christmas trees, and most importantly, Christmas shopping and gift-giving? Where does this go?

MERRY CHRISTMAS

"That is why we are teaming up with the Alliance Defense Fund to fight Scrooge-like secular intolerance this Christmas season"... The Christian Civic League director said legal challenges by the American Civil Liberties Union and others over use of religious symbols in public places are the most visible assaults on Christian Christmas. And he said Christians feel increasing pressure to avoid symbols of their faith... "They need to back off and the ACLU needs to back off and stop pushing so hard against anything that includes Christmas carols and those kinds of things, just like a scrooge."

Teaming up with the ADF is an excellent idea. You can join the fight against the ACLU and their ilk by becoming involved with and supporting the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF) - http://www.alliancedefensefund.org and the following organizations:

American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) - http://www.aclj.org

Thomas More Law Center (TMLC) - http://www.thomasmore.org

The Rutherford Institute - http://www.rutherford.org/

Stop the ACLU Coalition - http://www.stoptheaclu.org

Here are just a few recent examples of how two of those organizations are fighting back:

ADF Contacts Over 3,600 School Districts Over Attempts To Censor Christmas

ADF: 700 lawyers ready to fight ACLU lawsuits

ADF: Pentagons' Warning About Boyscouts Is Absurd

Thomas More Law Center: Town of Palm Beach Pays $50,000 In Attorney Fees Apologizes To Women In Nativity Lawsuit

Additional information:

The ACLU must be destroyed: Joseph Farah supports Boy Scouts, urges Americans to fight back

Citizens mobilized to stop ACLU (seeks to consign group to 'ash heap of history')

ACLU fulfilling communist agenda

Revealing FACTS on the ACLU from its own writings

Keep Christ in Christmas!

Catholic Ping - please freepmail me if you want on/off this list

>in lieu of more politically correct salutations>

Why are we afraid to just be honest about it and call it "Communist correct"?

[daviddennis]

I'm not personally religious.

But Happy Holidays has always struck me as a wimpy way out.

I say "Merry Christmas!"

And to all a good night.

Oh they certainly won't forbid or discourage the shopping.

The merchants would nail their collective hides to the barn door.

The other day I was at a certain store and the clerk bid me a HAPPY HOLIDAYS and I stared her in the eye and said..."No, you mean MERRY CHRISTMAS"!!! HA! She smiled and went about her business!
