No...I Said "HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!"

I know the nature of the item I will be posting at the end of this post. It is intended to sarcastically suggest that individuals such as tolerant PC practicing liberals and the groups they support (like the ACLU) are the culprits in creating the so-called on War On Christmas (WOC). It suggests that it is and has been our willingness to adjust to and acknowledge the diversity among Americans that has over-complicated the seeming simplicity of religious folks just wishing each other a Merry Christmas. It is an attempt to accuse the victims of the WOC--average people and liberals--who have no problem understanding what Happy Holidays mean and who now feel beleaguered by glaring radical wingers who verbally puke "Merry Christmas" at them as a new code phrase that requires immediate like response to show allegiance to the Good American club.

On the WOC, let me say this: Fuck Them. When some red-faced (nearly always white male) retorts to my Holiday wish with Merry Christmas, I retort back with as full a force, 'NO, I said Happy Holidays. Take it or leave it,' so far, those puffed-shirts deflate and just back off. Do it. It's fun. And it will prove to you what we already know; schoolyard bullies are the first to run home sniveling.

On the use of laws to defend diversity: it is our laws and the respect of law-making, however inconvenient and cumbersome the process and its outcomes may feel to those who have never run afoul of, or depended upon them for the support of the full weight of the courts, that separates our democracy from all others.

Mock the law--mock use of the law however annoying--and you mock America. I say this: if you don't like living in a country where individuality is not subordinate to the whims of a ruling elite or monarchy, get the hell out (and take the 'acting king' you supposedly 'elected' with you).

So now, the last best example of the Winger Whiners' mockery of thoughtful, respectful Americans:

"Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all...and a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2006, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great, (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only "AMERICA" in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, ! choice of computer platform, or sexual preference of the wishee.

"(By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for her/himself or others, and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.)"
