A Friday Flogging for the Strawman
That's why nobody sticks up for Christmas except me. Did Peter Jennings stick up for Christmas last night? I don't believe he did. How about Brian Williams, did he? Did Rather stick up for Christmas? How about Jim Lehrer -- did he? Did Larry King-- hello -- I love Christmas -- did he? No.-Bill O'Reilly, self-appointed guardian of Jesus Christ's birthday.

Am I the only one his is irritated by the fact that O'Reilly survived "phone sexgate" so well. That story disappeared and not much else has been said about it. I guess media has to protect its own.
I'm, going to continue to say "MERRY CHRISTMAS' to everyone I see. If they get offended, too bad. It isn't meant as a deliberate affront to anyone. It's a cheerful holiday greeting. My doctor is Jewish. He says happy Hanukkah to me and my Christian family (did again just last Wednesday) and we find it to be friendly and nice. He's well aware that we aren't Jewish. He's just a nice, friendly guy. His name is Brian Schnitzer for those of you who think I'm a liar. (see other previous posts) I reply with a Merry Christmas and we are both happy and part on friendly terms. Some people need to find something worthwhile to get offended by. This isn't it.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY HANUKKAH, JOYOUS RAMADAN, HAPPY QUANZA, AND A GOOD DAY TO ALL ATHEISTS TOO! Now go find a real problem to be whining about!
I don't care either and this is not a liberal issue. The Democratic Party supports people saying Merry Whatever. This is a non-issue that the Republicans attempt to portray as all those "liberals" don't want the slogan "Merry Christmas" in public places. I say Happy Holidays personally, its simply intellectual evolution. And BTW, I am a Catholic Holy Roller. Not really, just Catholic.
