The war on Christmas

Only on FOX:

"Is the "war on Christmas" hurting your portfolio? We'll go inside the Trading Pit with:"

And only on FOX:

From the November 30 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto:

CAVUTO: Well, you know, on Monday night my colleague Bill O'Reilly said something so simple, controversial, but so dead-on accurate. I want you to listen to this. Take a look.

O'REILLY [video clip]: Every company in America should be on their knees thanking Jesus for being born. Without Christmas, most American businesses would be far less profitable. More than enough reason for business to be screaming "Merry Christmas."

-------------------------

O'REILLY: ".....Secular progressives which are driving this movement, OK, don't want Christmas. They don't want it as a federal holiday, they don't want any message of spirituality or Judeo-Christian tradition because that stands in the way of gay marriage, legalized drugs, euthanasia, all of the greatest hits on the secular progressive play card. If they can succeed in getting religion out of the public arena --"

I guess we don't have enough missing white women to gobble up their attention.

It's nice of Mr. O'Reilly and the entire FOX crew to protect America from the liberal boogeymen going after Christmas. But come on, if this isn't silly, i don't know what is. Not to mention hypocritical. Madison Avenue (not to mention Santa Claus) hijacks Christmas and turns it into little more than a financial boondoggle, but the people FOX News have a problem with are those who say "Happy Holidays" rather than "Merry Christmas". I think that calls for an LOL. And if i recall correctly, Merry X-Mas was even a perfectly acceptable sentiment for the, oh, 30 years prior to Bill O'Reilly deciding he needed to pander to his audience and make them believe he's protecting them from us supposed Anti-Christs.

When it's gotten to the point that Charlie Brown has more sense than the FOX News Network....
