"Afraid" to wish someone Merry Christmas because of this political correctness crap? That'll be the day!

Screw 'em; Bah! Humbug!

Or as my friend said Tuesday to a politically correct well wisher's "Happy Holidays", and I quote, "F*** Y**, it's Merry Christmas!"

There is a small minority, lefty radicals, that feel their ideals should be held in higher regard than those of the majority of Americans. My feeling is if they do not like America they should move to France. I'm sure they'll fit right in. The French don't like anything or anybody, as well.:D

I still can't believe that a 3rd grade teacher was argueing with her students about the existence of Santa Claus. If a kid wants to believe that there is a Santa Claus what business is that of the teachers? I bet that teacher is waiting for Tupac's next CD.:D

well Happy Holidays is incorrect. WHy because THanksgiving and memorial day and easter are all holidays and yet no one gives any gifts and no dresses like Kris Kringle and no hangs up stockings. SO it is politically correct to refer to it as simply Merry Christmas. also christmas is not when christ was born he was born in september. December 25th is when he was conceived. there would be no shepards watching their flocks in dec it is too cold in dec. In pennsylvania the state supreme court blocked the manger scene from being displayed on state grounds. THey did this not for religious reasons. they simply could not find a virgin or three wisemen in the capitol. however they were able to find 253 asses. so the stable is overflowing now . hehehhehehhee Merry Christmas to all and to all a happy and prosperous new year also.
