you know what?

if i know you and know you celebrate christmas, i'll certainly wish you merry christmas. if i don't know you, i will indeed say happy holidays. i'm not concerned with two words. nor should the 'christians' be concerned with those two words either. they should emulate their projection of jesus and feed the hungry, house the homeless, heal the sick. nope. they DO NOT CARE one wink about ANY of that kind of stuff. i'm not exactly sure WHAT their beef is. really, i'm not

The White Nationalist Behind Bill O'Reilly's War on Christmas
By Max Blumenthal, The Daily Beast.
What would Christmas be without warnings of the secular crusade to destroy it? Thanks to the fulminations of cable news cranks and evangelical moralists, the War on Christmas has become an annual outrage. The story typically goes as follows: secular elements have intimidated stores into replacing the phrase “Merry Christmas” with “Happy Holidays;” nativity scenes have been removed from public spaces under threat of ACLU lawsuits; a decadent culture is moving ever closer to eradicating Christian morality; and America slouches towards Gomorrah...........

..........Back during the culture wars of the 1990s, Peter Brimelow, then a Fortune magazine editor, grew incensed with the increasing use of the phrase “Happy Holidays” by retailers like Amazon.com. “I just got real interested in the issue,” Brimelow told The Daily Beast, “because I noticed over the years there was this social shift taking place where people no longer said ‘Merry Christmas.’”

In his 1995 book, Alien Nation, Brimelow argued that the influx of “weird aliens with dubious habits” from developing nations was eroding America’s white Christian “ethnic core,” and in turn, sullying its cultural underpinnings. The War on Christmas was, in his view, a particularly pernicious iteration of the multicultural “struggle to abolish America.”...............
