"I have only one firm political belief about the American political system, and that is this: God is a Republican and Santa Claus is a Democrat." -- P.J. O'Rourke
Though it is impossible to get Bill O'Reilly to shut up about it, the idea that there is a liberal war on Christmas is absolute fantasy. American liberals don't hate Christmas. They live it.
If Narnia is a land where "it is always winter but never Christmas," American liberals live in a place where it is always Christmas Eve but never the end of the month. They sit, waiting for the gifts of joy and peace to appear beneath their tree, utterly clueless that someone, somewhere has to pay the bill.
Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, and the rest of the "Island of Misfit Toys" gang believe with all their might that, if America will just leave Iraq, all the terrorists will magically disappear! They believe that the UN and the EU can somehow make Iran's weapons-grade uranium go away. And if we all just put down our guns and give Cindy Sheehan a great, big Christmas hug, peace on earth will surely follow.
If you can believe in miracles like that, flying reindeer and flue-sliding fat guys are a cinch.

A very good line. Suitable for someone's Tag.
Good article.
Liberals love giving things away-which aren't theirs to give. They just want the DNC to get the credit for it, not (heaven forbid) Christians or any Christian ideal.
Good article...but no it's not 'Christmas'- it is always the 'Winter holidays' - God is not involved.
Thanks for posting this. He is a class act.
More like Liberals always think it is the first of the month awaiting for their government check. Please don't confuse Christmas with Liberalism, the two couldn't be further apart.
Liberals do not believe in Truth and self-sacrifice as Christ lived.
Everything for Liberals is nuance and "tax the rich"...
Yes Liberals await "gifts" from others but the others do not "give" out of the goodness of their hearts, they "give" because the "givers" have been hoodwinked, beaten over the heads and robbed...
I told my 4 year old last night that sometimes the bad santa comes and takes all the presents away. I told her we would light a fire Christmas eve night so that if he tried to climb down our chimney he would get burnt.
(it will burn out b4 Christmas morning)
After she goes to bed that night I will hide all the presents and when she wakes up to go see them I will tell her bad santa took them all away.(and video her response)heheheh
When she starts to get upset Ill bring them out of the closet and let her open them.
Its important to build a sense of humor in children.
Yeah, liberals believe in a giving tree and a wishes come true holiday.
You are really sick. This is not funny for anyone, but especially not a 4 year old.
"Not .... DNC staffers, but people whose e-mail addresses or phone numbers were found on hard-drives taken from Khalid Sheik Mohammed."
Actually, I wouldn't be suprised if there were DNC staffers on the list.
You are really a prude and do not know my 4 year old.
She is quite funny and likes to play tricks on her sister
as well as her parents.
I bet youre a lot of fun to be around during Christmas.
Maybe you could drop by and visit us in your Grinch costume.
Americans liberal DO hate Christmas.
Christmas IS all about the birth of Jesus.
It IS a Christian holiday and season, layered on top of formerly pagan (especially Germanic) rituals.
It IS essentially European. It was and still is also an essentially Catholic celebration with Advent...if one actually includes Advent, visit of the Magi, etc.
This includes Protestants because they all came from the Catholic Church. Hmmm, does that include the Mormons? THAT I dunno. Flames and explanations to come with amazing reliability. And Merry Christmas to all of you!
The American liberals love and live Xmas and "happy holidays" (formerly HOLYdays). So do the Chinese, now that they make ALL the Christmas decorations on the planet.
Bump for later
LOL! ~were a couple of misfits, were a couple of misfits~
This is so true-I am not alway happy with Repubs but they have one thing going for them...they are not Democrats.
