Liberals and the rest of secular America have declared a “WAR ON CHRISTMAS” so says Fox News. Where the hell did this come from? Straight out of crazy, if you ask me. It started with O’Reilly and his bile spewing maw and has moved to MSNBC’s Scarborough Country. I’m sure we’ll see Brian Williams covering it as well, if he hasn’t already. Why do we need another “WAR” anyway. Shouldn’t we be focusing on WHY we are in a real war (To all those confused, “we have to support our troops” is not a reason to be in Iraq)? People like O’Reilly, Scarborough and even Matthews are demagogues who need to promote and inflame that kneejerk reaction, that hate, because people react to it. It gets viewers and more viewers mean bigger ad bucks and book sales. And where do you think that ad money goes? Straight to the top baby.

Americans love a fight. Hell, I do too, but you have to strive to make sense of it. Sometimes you have to think it out. Work it out in your melon. Have a debate with someone. Fuck, even have a debate with yourself, but think it out. Do not only look at both sides, look at all sides, then form an opinion. Don’t just gobble it up as “news” because ol’ Bill says there’s a “War on Christmas”. I have no idea how shit like this trickles to the mainstream media either, but I have a sneaking suspicion it involves corporate interest and that means $$$.

Where are the Murrows who’ll speak truth to power? Where are the Welles to make veiled biopics about Rupert Murdoch? Is it fear that holds them back? Is it greed that suppresses their voice?

C’mon Christians, why can’t you just learn to share. This isn’t the United States of Jesus. There’s a thing called freedom of religion here. It’s what makes this country great. It’s what wars have been fought for. Why is it always the Christians who offend so easily. Wasn’t it Jesus who taught of love, compassion and tolerance? Why the hate? Isn’t this the season of giving? I wish these right wing and/or Christian wackos would give the rest of us something for Christmas. Personally, I’d love a break.
