WWLRHD?

A new ad campaign sponsored by “WakeUpWalMart.com,” an anti-WalMart organization backed by the United Food and Commercial Workers Union asks “Would Jesus shop at Wal-Mart?”

If you are like us, you are outraged that a mainstream labor organization purporting to represent 1.3 million hard-working Americans would use a sacred religious figure to peddle a partisan political message.

Not when there are dozens of other religions out there with their own revered figures being denied their fair share of public defilement.

People in this country must stop behaving as if Christianity is the only faith practiced by Americans and start broadening their exploitation to include messiahs of other religions whose specific views on modern secular topics can’t possibly be known all for the sole purpose of furthering personal agendas.

For instance, why not run an ad campaign that asks what the Prophet Muhammed would think of trimming producer costs through the outsourcing of production to China given scripture that clearly denounces current Export-Import Bank policies? Or how about using Joseph Smith to promote more attractive flex-time wellness programs and lower prescription drug co-payments?

Yes, before we can consider ourselves to be a truly inclusive society welcoming of all cultures and beliefs, we must be willing to open our hearts as well as our minds to those who have been traditionally marginalized by the broader culture.

And hijack a wide range of theological teachings in a craven attempt to manipulate those of faith purely for personal gain.

For too long have we ignored the possible contributions L. Ron Hubbard could make if only we would be willing to use his name in support of accelerated depreciation schedules for capital investments in ethanol production or the Buddhist principles that clearly underly support for indexing the Alternative Minimum Tax to the CPI.

Surely in this season of brotherly love we can find it in ourselves to reach out and look to other cultures for new and innovative ways to serve our own self interest.

They’re baaa-aaack. (The trees, that is.)

In an act as insensitive as it was non-inclusive, workers atSeattle-Tacoma International Airport began yesterday to defy management’s edict that all offense-causing Christmas trees be removed from the facility and started setting up their own Christmas-centric displays.

These wholly unsanctioned artificial evergreens, displaying no respect whatsoever for the fact that they do not directly aid in the celebration of holidays that are not Christmas, started appearing in places such as ticket counters which are leased by private companies and so beyond the reach of airport management.

As one writer pointed out, this is an international airport and so we must remove these “jingoistic billboards or anything that may offend someone from another culture.” After all, the last thing we want visitors to America seeing when passing through an American airport is anything having to do with America.

Except maybe for Starbucks.

As reported here on WOWOC over the weekend, the original decision to remove the trees came about after local Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky questioned the fairness of using public space solely for a display that would appeal to, at best, 90% of the American public. He did this in that grandest and most universally acknowledged of American traditions: By threatening a lawsuit. However, many local Jewish leaders were not happy with Rabbi Bogomilsky’s actions and the potential backlash with one noting, “This we do not need. Carter was bad enough. Now we have this too?”

As a result, Rabbi Bogomilsky dropped his threat to sue. Airport management then brazenly ignored the 0.1% of email strongly endorsing their position to remove the trees and once again reversed their decision, ordering last night that the peripatetic plastic plants be restored to the airport.

In addition to the renewed possibility that countless handfuls of airport patrons might take offense at these overt symbols of Christmas (assuming they have time between taking off their shoes, stuffing their shampoo into clear Ziplock bags and bidding a tearful goodbye to their checked baggage), there is the fear that this rebellion might spread beyond the Seattle-Tacoma area. What if people in Portland started running around setting up Christmas trees at local airports? Already there have been tannenbaum sightings as far east as Denver International where a panic nearly broke out over an early report that an actual nativity scene had been spotted next to an Au Bon Pain (but that just turned out to be an Amish family with a basket of croissants).

What can you personally do to help put an end to this growing conifer crisis? Remove anything on your own property that could possibly be mistaken for a Christmas tree. Do you have evergreens of any kind? Burn them down just to be safe and replace them with Japanese maples or maybe a nice secular azalea. Under no circumstance should you leave any errant branches lying around lest a passing international visitor or other non-Christmas-celebrating individual mistake them for a festive garland and feel assaulted by your offensive display of tenuously-associated religiosity. As a further precaution, red bows are also to be avoided as are sleighs, wrapped presents and anything starting with “Yule,” including “tide” and “log.”

And for God’s sake, remember, it’s “Happy Holidays,” NOT “Merry Christmas.”

Because the only way we can possibly begin to learn to treasure the rich tradition of other cultures is to do our very best to pretend that we don’t have any.

“war on christmas”

Cats make war on a Christmas tree…..

 

It seems no aspect of Christmas is free from controversy. Fresh from a gig at the Tacoma Seattle Airport, where their special talent of tree building and dismantling was used, Iris and fern demonstrate their technique………

FIRST, START WITH A FAKE TREE

INSPECT IT CAREFULLY!

Once the tree has all its branches,
comes the best part, the decorating!

Stick to a colour scheme, a wide assortment
 of things adds interest.

 Balls and thick ribbon are great to play with.
 
 Remember to place items close to the
bottom for easy swatting, while laying down. 
 

CLEARLY THESE GUYS WILL HAVE A PROFITABLE FUTURE AS TREES AND THREATENED LAWSUITS VIE BACK AND FORTH IN THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS……

For Iris and Fern’s step by step tree destruction with their tips and photos…..

A Heathen Blogger puts the Human in Humanistmas

Cross Posted by David Kleiner from his MySpace Blog

David is a pal of Billy Sunshine…..the nicest raving liberal on the West Coast……(and proud of it!)

 At COWOWOC…..WE REPORT…YOU DECIDE!

Report of the War against Christmas Study Group
Written For and Performed On The Billy Sunshine Show
Sundays, 3:00-5:00 PST
On the Radio at AM-540 KRXA, Santa Cruz, and Streamed Live on the
Internet

I am here to present a brief summary of the report of the War against
Christmas Study Group. Today, I saw a Salvation Army soldier at my
local K-Mart, brushed up against a Christmas tree outside the Penneys
at the mall, and had a cashier at Sears tell me to have a merry
Christmas. My fellow godless pagans, we are not winning the war to take
Christ out of Christmas! And we are losing it in the central front in
our war against this green and red menace, the American department
store, where we, along with the atheists at the UN and the progressive
heathen bloggers, must and will replace religious decorations, slogans,
and sloganeering with internationalist celebrations of universal
brotherhood. But that’s in the future. At the moment, the situation is
grave and deteriorating.

One of our worst enemies is the ACLU, which should stand for the
American Christ Lovers Union. Some Christian student can’t give out her
“Jesus is Christmas” cards in school, the ACLU sees that she can. They
defended Rita Warren, the “Lone Ranger of the Manger” whose life
mission is to put nativity scenes in public places. She tried to put a
plastic crèche in front of the government building in Fairfax,
Virginia. Kent Willis, executive director of the ACLU of Virginia says,
“The government cannot discriminate against her religious display any
more than it can take specific action to promote her religious
display.” What you talkin’ about Kent Willis?

There is no path that can guarantee success in the War Against
Christmas, but in this report, we make 79 recommendations, including:

1. Banning the word Christmas and replacing it with Humanistmas.
2. Rescheduling annual gift giving to February 29th .
3. Changing the following names and others like them: Christopher
Columbus will now be known as Don’tWearFur Columbus. Hans Christian
Anderson will henceforth be called Hans GayCouple AndTheirSon.
4. Changing the following names and others like them: Godiva chocolates
will be known as Kids’lleativa2 Chocolates, Waiting for Godot will be
called Waiting for Al Gore. The Godfather movie will be called The
Father, the Son They Pull Back In, and the Holey Sonny at the Toll Gate.
5. Replacing the excessive drinking Christians do during the Christmas
holiday with excessive drinking all year long. Never mind. they already
do that.
6. Putting the responsibility for winning the War on Christmas where it
belongs, on the Christians. To train Christians to kill the Christ in
Christmas, we call for redeploying our soldiers from the field and
increasing, at a corresponding rate, trainers selected from
secularists, trial lawyers, cultural relativists, liberals,
guilt-wracked Christians, Jews, and anyone who ever voted for John
Kerry, Ted Kennedy, or Barney Frank.

The forces for Christmas are aligning themselves against us. They are
sly. They are subtle. We think they’re up to something but we can’t sit
back and wait for the proof. We don’t want the smoking gun to come in
the form of a figgy pudding or 10 lords a leaping.

And remember, hating Christmas is not a hate crime.

Until next time, this is David Kleiner saying there is no better way to
put the Human in Humanistmas than by buying my latest CD, “This Human
Heart” at cdbaby.com/davidkleiner. They make great gifts any time of
year!

The Loma Lynda Grinch

 Of course you’ve all heard about the Homeowner Association President that threatened fines against a couple that had a “Peace sign wreath”hung on their house. Well thanks to thousands of Whos on Whoville, he dropped the matter.

Here’s a Tribute to Him…… in a familiar ditty……via An Angry Bleeding Heart’s Diary

 

The Peace Wreath

 Every Loma at Lindaville liked Peace a lot

 But the Grinch and his Cronies certainly DID NOT!

 This Grinch hated Peace!

 The whole Peacetime season!

 Now please don’t ask why, no one quite knows the reason!

 It could be perhaps he just liked to fight, or

 Maybe his head was screwed on to the Right.

 But we think the most likely reason of all

 May have been that his heart was two sizes too small.

 No matter the reason.

 His heart or his head,

 He felt really bad, and troubled instead.

 The more the Grinch dwelled on the Peace Sign thing

 the more he ached to stop the whole thing!

 ”I must stop this Peace Wreath from being,…but how!

 ”I know what I’ll do, I won’t stand this abuse”

 He thunked to himself “All I need’s an excuse”

 He looked for an excuse to take the Wreath down.

 But, since excuses are scarce there were none to be found.

 Did that stop this ol’ Grinch…?

 NO! The Grinch simply said

 ”If I can’t find an excuse I’ll make one instead!”

 He did better than that, he made a Big List,

 and Right here they are, and some we have missed.

 The Wreath may offend, or it might not be nice,

 it might be for Pagans, who drink wine with ice!

 Maybe it’s code, all secret and sneaky,

 Maybe these Loma’s are just being cheeky!

 Then he fired his cronies (who weren’t so uptight),

 They said it’s not bad, but the Lights kept him up nights!

 He puzzled and twisted and puzzled some more,

 He listed excuses, till his Puzzler was sore.

 Then finally his Puzzler hit on the Thing!

 Maybe really this Wreath’s not such a bad Zing!

 Maybe Peace to the World isn’t so bad,

 Maybe Peace to the World, shouldn’t make him so Mad!

 Imagine; a world where folks spoke up for Peace!

 Like Lisa, the Loma, with her Peace Wreath!

 And what happened then…?

 In Lindaville they say

 That the Grinch’s small heart

 Grew three sizes that day!

 And the minute his heart didn’t feel quite so tight

 He could answer his phone and not hide all the night!

 He stopped all his Trickzies, and called off his goons

 …and he hung back the Wreath, by the light of the moon!

No words necessary, OR sufficient…

“Still, I don’t understand: just how many disturbed human beings does The Weinstein Company and MGM think actually want to go see a gory movie on December 25th — specifically, a remake of a 1974 horror flick in which a college sorority house is terrorized by a psycho who makes frightening phone calls and murders the girls during the holiday break. Is the intended audience supposed to be non-Christians?”

I’m only surprised that Nikke Finke is so surprised.

No SantA HatS!

By:Angel

Crossposted at Woman Honor Thyself

BINMEN have been banned from wearing Santa hats — on health grounds.

The refuse collectors in Kingston upon Hull have worn the traditional red hats for years.

Now city council scrooges say “it does not create a professional impression of the council”.

City bans binmen’s Santa hats

But one angry binman told The Sun: “It doesn’t look like anyone can escape the PC brigade this year.
“Our Santa hats have always brought a bit of festive cheer to local households. We loved seeing the faces of excited kids watching us from the window and laughing at our hats.

No more Santa hats for the U.K.’s garbage men.

Let’s see now………….What is the most subtle way for Rad. Muzlism to push forward?

How about undermining the very foundations of free societies by slowly chipping away at the rights of the “individual.”…After all, it’s just a silly ole hat eh?

Convince the ole masses that their beliefs or actions are disrespectful to “others” ..shhh….don’t say outloud, but we all know who that is………… and must be shunned at all costs. Lest we offend..Lest we offend…

No folks, it aint bout the Santa hat.

Political Correctness is nothing more than a treacherous form of censorship and oppression, imposed upon the citizenry.

We witness the seeds of manipulation and brainwashing on the Libs blindly following the dictums of the Left wingers. Leftists and Rad. Muzlims are fellow travelers, yea…they both travel backwards but still call it progress.

After all…Is it not the nature of Western Civilization to be civilized?

Do we really need these external influences trying to dhimmify…civilize us?

How can one peoples’ harmless or benign icon be sooooooooooooo objectionable to the “sensitive” ones that they must be eternally abolished?

Say yes to burkkaz n veils but no to lil red caps with pom poms? Hypocrisy?

Pre-frikken-cisely.

Santa Strikes Back!

“Happy Holidays?” Not in my house, buddy. Not. In. My. House.

“Holiday Trees” Outed at Airport

SEATTLE-TACOMA Airport – All of the Christmas trees inside the terminal at Sea-Tac have been removed in response to a complaint by a rabbi.

A local rabbi wanted to install an 8-foot menorah and have a public lighting ceremony. He threatened to sue if the menorah wasn’t put up, and gave a two-day deadline to remove the trees.

Sea-Tac public affairs manager Terri-Ann Betancourt said the trees that adorn the Sea-Tac upper and lower levels may not properly represent all cultures.

The airport apparently first tried to placate the Rabbi by calling the trees “Holiday Trees,” the “Festive Season Trees,” then “Winter Solstice Trees,” and finally, “Just Plain Trees.” But the offended person replied “I saw through their sneaky business right away. Those are CHRISTMAS TREES, I’m telling you!”

With 315 religious traditions in America, maybe airports better avoid lawsuits from the easily offended and just stick to what they do best, like lose our luggage…

Meanwhile, in the U.K….
Survey finds Christmas gone from cards?
LONDON, Dec. 9 (UPI) —
A survey by a British newspaper finds that only about 1 percent of the Christmas cards sold in the country have a religious message.

Nativity scenes, shepherds in the fields and the three kings following the star have given way to dancing meerkats or scenes of winter weather, The Daily Mail reported. If the shepherds or kings do appear, it is usually on a joke card, like one suggesting the shepherds had been smoking drugs.

Just over half the cards wish recipients “Merry Christmas.” Others say “Season’s Greetings” with no message at all.

“Of course we can’t tell shops what to stock or customers what to buy but it would be nice if more cards carrying messages reminding people of the birth of Christ were being made, bought and sent,” said a spokesman for the Church of England.

The Royal Mail has dropped religious stamps and some local councils have renamed the holiday season “Winterval.”

The newspaper said some Muslim groups have joined the movement to restore religion to Christmas, fearing the move in the other direction could spark a backlash.

Hmmm….  “Winterval”???
