With Thanksgiving Day just a fortnight away, it must be getting close to---dare I say it? ---Christmas!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the day set aside to commemorate the birth and ministry of Jesus Christ.
Amazingly enough, His birthday remains an official public holiday, despite President Obama’s foolish attempt to convince the world that America is no longer a Christian nation.
Observant citizens will note that America has no companion holiday to celebrate Kwanzaa, Hanukah, or Ramadan. Obviously, this makes us a despicable nation of evil zealots who discriminate based on religion.
Thanksgiving also marks the unofficial start to the Christian-bashing season. It is during this special time of the year that dim witted losers protest the presence of Christmas trees at airports, thereby denying the overwhelming majority of travelers the pleasure of seeing these precious, traditional symbols of the season.
It is this time of year when the sight of a simple manager scene in a public venue can send an ACLU lawyer into a towering rage and to the nearest court house to seek relief from the unconstitutional violation of the separation Church and state.
Showing Jesus in swaddling clothes in a manager is unconstitutional?
Egad, what would the founders think?
Wishing a co-worker “Merry Christmas!” on the job can lead to blockbuster lawsuits and allegations of harassment and insensitivity, if you can imagine.
Only at this time of year are Christmas classics like Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem, Silent Night, and Noel more offensive than rap music with its profane and misogynist lyrics.
Despite all the agitation and silliness of the anti-Christmas crowd, Christmas is still the greatest celebration of the greatest birth and life in history!
