Yes, let us make the Fundie-Christian's fantasy come true and put back-lighted copies of Piss Christ in our windows instead of candles and respond to every greeting of "Merry Christmas" with "Fuck Off." Oh, that would make them so very happy!

It's that time of year
While most of us have our attention firmly riveted on the election and whatever feelings of excitement, dread, guarded hope, or please-make-it-be-over exhaustion that that might bring up, we may have temporarily forgotten the other national ritual that happens at this time of the year. I'm talking about the annual tantrum that conservative Christians throw over how horribly persecuted they are by an imaginary war on Christmas. The war as they see it has three prongs, local governments acknowledging the constitutional separation of church and state by refusing to pay for an official nativity scene, schools having "holiday" programs without overtly religious music (that constitution thingy again), and stores trying to be inclusive by using greetings like "happy holidays" or "season's greetings." In recent years, the last of those three has been the one that has most provoked their easily offended senses, leading them to proclaim widely ignored boycotts of any store that uses the offensive phrases."
Indeed, we'd be spreading Christmas Cheer by having their false claims at last verified -- how nice for them that they won't have to lie about it any more. There is little reward in store for these selfless efforts. We will only get to do what the sensible folk always do on this occasion; enjoy the season.
The article follows with a bit of history, including Nazi-supporter Henry Ford's views on it (Hint: it has to do with Jews) and then:
"Rob Boston has spotted the first major whine of the season. The Rev. Donald Wildmon of the American Family Association, an organization that specializes in unsuccessful boycotts against any business that even thinks about giving a fair shake to their gay employees, is selling buttons and bumper stickers that say "It's OK To Say Merry Christmas."
Fuck off.....
