They are. Except that you KNOW that most of these idiots also have Christmas trees and take their kids to see Santa. Maybe not the jewish whiners, but the rest of the pathetic losers do.

I do not shop or give business to the stores that do not have the word Christmas front and center. If all I see is Holiday this or Holiday that, I'm gone.

When I was in grade school, in an ultra-liberal school district, we used to have Christmas decorations at school and sing Christmas carols. Since then, our country has gone steadily backwards.

True, those were the days of the Protestant ascendancy, when mainstream WASPs were riding high, but that was sure preferable to what we have now, with the ascendancy of the separationist police who refuse to allow any public demonstration of religion, except maybe Islam.

My school was in Scarsdale, where there were surely enough Jews to stop the carols if they had wanted to; but thankfully they did not.

Doesn't the celebration of Hanukkah discriminate against Christians?

When some minority slug proclaims his/her outrage at being discriminated against and gets something set aside, howse about the vast majority that are discriminated by that?

Don't we live by MAJORITY rule? Not to denigrate the minorities but they should NOT dictate to the majority.

We have devolved now to where not only can the majority not step on the "rights" of the minority but the minority CAN step on the rights of the majority!

I think the city should spend all the tax money they want on a parade for a Christian holiday and let the Jews and others move to another city or shut up. What's wrong with them?

OK, if anybody knows of any businesses in Encinitas that do mail order, I'm inclined to buy my Christmas presents from them.... Please advise :-).

"For the perpetually offended activists"

Isn't it about time the MAJORITY GETS OFFENDED.

Screw the minorities. They offend the hell out of me!

Well said.

Though Christmas is not ONLY an American Holiday, obviously, it is indeed a declared National Holiday.

It's not the observant jews and muslims that want to put the clmps down on Christmas. It is the secular humanist POS (plural) for the most part.

We have not eveolved that far. But anywhere where libs are in power, they try thru the declarations, rules and courts to tear down the traditions of this country. And they have met their match in a wave of conservatism (thank you Ronald Reagan) that will steamroll their petty designs.

I should have said "not ONLY an American holiday".

I said on another thread I almost feel like changing my name to "Christmas Christmas" so even if people just use the first or last name, they have to say the "C" word.

You don't look like Christmas Jones from the "The World is Not Enough" James Bond flick, I assume!
