THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS - It's a Commie Thing

"The war on Christmas - it's a Commie thing" Matt Barber - Guest Columnist - 12/22/2009 10:25:00 AM

SNIPPET: "Are you as annoyed as I am by that nauseatingly amorphous phrase "Happy Holidays?" You may be interested to know that the mindset behind the term precedes America's postmodern love affair with political correctness, tracing back to good ole' fashioned Cold War Communism (PC's uglier big sister)."

SNIPPET: "Ronald Reagan once spoke to this noteworthy historical factoid during a Christmas radio broadcast about the Ukraine's war on Christmas. The great Gipper noted: "When the Ukraine was free and not under Soviet bondage, Christmas was, of course, the religious event that it is in the Western world."

But as part of an effort to suppress the Gospel message and the spread of Christianity in Soviet Russia, Communist leaders secularized a favorite Ukrainian Christmas carol, "Nova Radist Stala" (Joyous News Has Come to Us)."

SNIPPET: "Indeed, the ACLU, Americans United and other anti-Christian organizations and individuals, continue their systematic campaign of bullying and harassment still today. These secularist Grinches sue scores of public schools and other state entities across the country every year for inclusion of "Silent Night" or other Christ-centered carols, as well as for publicly displaying any authentic Christmas symbols such as the Nativity scene."

I think you will find on the religion forum the war on Christmas will begin tomorrow..when the “Christmas is a pagan holiday” threads start.

Since the etymology of 'holiday' is 'Holy Day', the next time someone wishes you 'Happy Holidays' instead of 'Merry Christmas', you can say, 'Thank you, this IS indeed a very happy Holy Day - when Christ was born. Merry Christmas to you as well!'....
(yeah, that'll work...)

They hate Christmas because Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and Stalin’s evil henchmen, Lavarenti Beria was executed. All happened on Christmas Day.
