Is that supposed to prove he’s racist or a sexual predator?
“Anomouse wrote about his embarrassed feelings as a child. Who are you to judge?”
What judgement? I want to find clarification about where did the feeling of being ashamed come from?
You poor oppressed whining little Zionist twit.The '6M Jews, 5M others, & gas chambers' are scientifically impossible frauds.
And who puts the Jewish religious symbol, menorah, on every corner & public space in December with nary a whimper?Where's the ACLU on that?
There is no issue because “the Jewish religious symbol, menorah, on every corner & public space in December” is a figment of your fevered imagination.
You called him a “racist black criminal sexual predator.”
Criminal and black, yes.
Racist? Seems like a bit of wishful thinking on your part.
That you accuse him of being a sexual predator says more about you that it does about him, I assure you.
The Greek, Russian, Serbian, etc orthodox Christians celebrate Easter in a big way.

Kwanza has pretty much disappeared. It was only mentioned along with Christmas in black public schools.
Being totally artificial, the holiday never got going.
Then there is the Hanukkah bush. It’s a small Christmas tree decorated in Blue and White with Mogen David stars instead of the 5 point Christmas stars.
Stretching out the Kids presents for 8 days instead of one Christmas morning orgy is less messy.
I myself despise the vulgar capitalist consumer Christmas orgy. The worst is the large retail chains like Walmart, Target Federated etc that refuse to use the word Christmas or decorate but make their entire profit in the Christmas shopping season.
A full 90% of church going kids polled think about Santa when they think of Xmas before they think of Jesus. Modern Christmas is full of old pagan symbols, with the date Dec 25 a coopting of Saturnalia, the old Roman pagan holiday. egg nog, the tree, mistletoe, etc. Xmas wasn’t really celebrated in earnest til the 3rd century, as the first Christians did not know the real birth date of Jesus. How could they celebrate? Modern Xmas is purely a construct of man that promotes consumerism anymore. Unless there is a big rejection of consumerism, the so called “death of Xmas” will continue.
Nice ironic reference to Dayenu at the end of your comment.
Of course, predictably, you dodged the issue, which was:

“Christmas leads to the heart of our culture…”
Christmas– Christ– leads to change of heart. This will change the culture.
No more Merry Christmas, but Happy Hanukkah.
Hanukkah commemorates the victory of the Jews over their Syrian oppressors! You can see why it is so ‘actual’.
If you really want to find this so-called War on Christmas, the place you should be looking is Israel. It is verboten, by law, to erect Christmas displays; and if you do, you’re likely making yourself a target. Of course, it is generally legal or at most a minor crime to harass, attack, or even kill Christians, something the Jewish Occupation does frequently and with impunity.
Of course, there is never a single mention of the Jewish War on Christmas in Israel in the US Corporate Media. I wonder why?
Gosh really?! By the way, when using the phrase "by the way" one adds a comma; and, by the way "starts" not start.
By the way the word Christmas always start with an upper case ‘C’.
Ok, I am assuming English is not your first, or even second, language and you didn't understand what I said.
Bullshit. The ‘war on Christmas’ pales in significance to war with Russia and white genocide, to name just two current situations
You’re quite the grammar queen yet you don’t know that your sacred holiday starts with an upper case letter.
You want to pressure others to say Merry Christmas….not going to happen.
No one is stopping anyone from saying Merry Christmas.
Get a life and concern yourself with things that matter
Speaking of grammar:
“It’s not insignificant at all.. it highly symbolic and illustrative of globalists attempts to atomize and fracture society.”
Yes, you are right and you should have complete the sentence: they want Hanukkah to replace Christmas. It has a more ‘universal’ significance to which everybody can relate to (ex. the “miracle of the oil”, emphasizing reflection on energy conservation and energy independence!).
And who puts the Jewish religious symbol, menorah, on every corner & public space in December with nary a whimper?
Where’s the ACLU on that?

Kwanzaa is a non-existent ‘holiday’ manufactured by a racist black criminal sexual predator from LA.
There is no such holiday in Africa.
I think that is largely because Easter has very little cultural influence left. Outside of observant Christians, people might hide Easter baskets for their kids or get their picture with the Easter Bunny at the mall, but they don’t really celebrate Easter the way they do Christmas.
Many public and private schools have moved their Spring Breaks so they doesn’t coincide with Easter and most public schools and employers don’t give the day off for Good Friday. Christmas is treated differently because of the influence it has in the culture.
“I was ashamed to appear publicly and sing Christian carols, so I demurred with no
repercussions”
Where did he shame come from? From the presence of other Jews? You were in Brooklyn, right? If other Jews did not know you were singing Christmas carols you would not be embarrassed?
All of the war mongers in the Republican party profess Christianity as do most of the Democrat party.

People can still say Merry Christmas to anyone….just don’t expect everyone else to say it.

Very well said.
{it is symbolic of just how much the hostile elite hate western civilization.}
…..how much hostile anti-Christian, anti-West, anti-American elite hate Western, Christian civilization.
How much they hate America.
Hit back and hit hard.
Merry Christmas to all.
Enough.

Christmas time used to be a time of good cheer, where people could say ‘merry christmas’ to strangers. Little things like that is what helps knit societies together and give us hope; now it is a bleak, gray crassly commercialized ‘holiday’ consumermastide….with all meaning other than consumption taken out of it. People now insincerely say ‘ have a good holiday’ we have ‘holiday trees’ and people ask ‘how was your holiday’ for risk of offending…Linuses speech is now ‘hate speech’ because it is not inclusive…

Very funny and very apt. My vote for the first bad “Christmas” song to be thrown in the rubbish would be that awful Mel Torme (or whatever his real name is) song about chestnuts.
It’a the same with Easter: all we hear about is Easter bonnets and rabbits. I’ve always thought we Christians could be generous here and allow others to have a bunny as the supreme symbol of their holiday like, for instance, Ramadan Bunny or Hanukkah Bunny.
>there are a few other holidays this time of year, and the folks who celebrate Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Yule, Saturnalia, Festivus and Ramadan — which does fall in December occasionally — are also citizens of America.
“The folks who celebrate Ramadan” also celebrate Christmas, and, in my experience, will be happy to wish you a Merry Christmas, or accept your Christmas greeting to them.
It seems it is only “the folks who celebrate Hanukkah” who are bitching about others celebrating Christmas “in public.”
Sorry, folks, I am with Mr. Putin on this one, even though I am agnostic.
Arguments for a War on Christmas: the chance to suppress ‘Jingle Bells’, ‘I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas’, ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’, and suchlike crap.
Arguments against a War on Christmas: almost everything else. Except in Scotland, where the vile Englishised, Americanised, Germanised, Disneyfied, commercialised, foreign rubbish should be chucked out.
Of course Easter is the most important Christian holiday (St. Augustine: “We are the Easter people”). But Christmas is also important and very much part of the joy of the Christian tradition. Hanukkah is Kwanzaa for Jews. Their little bubbelehs felt left out an voila, a Jewish holiday with present and toys! That wasn’t enough, so they set about protesting and suing to remove Christmas plays, carols, crèches. And that wasn’t enough…
I appreciate your good will – and the principal’s.
Actually… it is exactly the point.
I got a lot of “Merry Christmas” from cashiers this year while shopping. Not a single “Happy Holidays”. It was a nice change, but surprising. For years a cashier could be literally fired for saying the “C” word. Thanks Mr. Trump.
Some day the identity politics trend will be another memory. There is a Christmas message that is helpful to all people but not all people are comfortable in their own skin to think about it. They can be non-Christians and allow Christians to celebrate the birth of Jesus as they can allow about Easter.
because ‘Merry Christmas’ informs people that they are on English-speaking, Christianist turf, where the people in charge all celebrate Christmas in a decidedly American way.
Not intending to detract from Bruenig’s idiocy/dishonesty in claiming that people are actually motivated by that when they say “Merry Christmas”, but that would be a useful collateral effect in our current circumstances, if it were true, now that she mentions it.
. . . Now that I’ve blurted all this out, I realize it’s not something to be all that ashamed of, is it?
Anecdote: I “had” Miss Black in one of those years as my home teacher. She was an elderly fanatic who had the students read from the New Testament (she supplied the books). When in a pet, as often, she would send off a Jewish boy at the end of the school day, by reminding him that he would burn in hell by reason of being who he was. Parents complained to the principal, a Jew, about Miss Black. He put them off because Miss Black was a year or 2 from retirement and he didn’t want to jeopardise her retirement pay.
Article made me remember/reminisce. In the early 40s in a public grammar school as it was called (grades 1 through 8) in Brooklyn, I learned and loved to sing Christmas carols (as they were called) as I had a good voice (before puberty) and could sing in tune. Indeed I was picked out with others (who could sing in tune) to sing carols in a prospective school setting (I cannot for the life of me remember the setting). I may be going beyond judicious to say so in a public comment, but I also remember that, being jewish, and known as such (school body was >60% Protestants, ~30% Irish/Italian Roman Catholics and <5% Jews), I was ashamed to appear publicly and sing Christian carols, so I demurred with no repercussions that I remember although I thought about it quite a bit at the time, personal repercussions so to speak.
Now that I've blurted all this out, I realize it's not something to be all that ashamed of, is it?
They’re absolutely terrified that they might lose control of the Narrative. As well they should be, because if they lose that, they’ll likely lose everything.
That they are running scared, and becoming more desperate than ever, is one of the best things about the election. But let’s not underestimate them, for they have proven many times that they subscribe to only one principle: the wrecking of the USA and the destruction of every single thing that once made her great.
I recently relocated to East Texas. I am told there are as many people in East Texas as in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metro. Deplorables as far as you can see. I am unexpectedly happy here. Merry Christmas is standard and delivered with eye contact and a smile. In church Christmas is about Jesus. On the street it’s about good will. Merry Christmas is an affirmation and declaration of good will toward everyone. Deplorable!
“Her husband dismissed Trump’s supporters as ‘standard redneck[s]‘ before the election and ‘angry white men’ after the election.”
It takes a onetime owner of an El Camino with a back bed lining of astro turf, to recognize a redneck when he sees one in the rear view mirror. Similarly, as he cast his vote in the New York electoral college with Andy Cuomo, the two of them certainly were angry white men.
He should have taken to heart himself the advice he gave those he deplored weeks before, when he warned white men not to expect to regain the place they once held in America. That included you, Bill, looking forward to (as Colin Powell put it in his leaked email) banging bimbos again in the White House.
Really? With all the current problems this country has….this is insignificant.
Here in Australia most people still say “merry Christmas”….& if someone doesn’t like it…well, they can go f — ….but that wouldn’t be in the Christmas spirit, would it ?
I keep reading complaints about a ‘War’ on Christmas but I’ve never heard much about a ‘War’ on Easter which is a much more important event in Christianity.
(Indeed some Christian groups like the Puritans had their own ‘War’ on Christmas-banning it-believing that it was an overwhelmingly Pagan event.)
You might even look on the bright side-a focus on anti-Christmas seems to be leaving Easter untouched.
