Bush wounded in War on Christmas

By John Breneman

President Bush continued to draw fire today from enraged Christian extremists who see him as the latest enemy combatant in the rapidly escalating War on Christmas.

The president touched off the firefight by sending out a White House communication emblazoned with the incendiary terminology: "Best wishes for a holiday season of hope and happiness."

Bush claimed he received faulty intelligence from his Christmas card team and failed to realize the mere mention of "Happy Holidays" is enough to send some of his biggest supporters into a yuletide rage. Many critics regard the card as a slap in the face of Jesus himself.

Meanwhile, the airwaves are abuzz with the inane debate over whether America is "taking the Christ out of Christmas."

Sources say Bush is working with the Pentagon to draft a new card carrying the preferred wording: "Merry Birth Anniversary of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior who died on the cross for our sins so that we may ascend to the Kingdom of Heaven."

As critics blasted the card for being too "politically correct," a White House insider noted that at least one other version did feature Jesus but was nixed for being too "anatomically correct."

"Karl Rove joked that we should go with 'Peace on Earth'," said the senior official, who asked to remain anonymous for fear that Dick Cheney would strangle him and bury his lifeless body in an undisclosed location.

The Homeland Security Department cautioned citizens that uttering the words "Happy Holidays" may put them at heightened risk of attack by Christian extremists.

In a related story, a Texas man reportedly shot a Mexican for wishing him "Feliz Navidad."

Sources say the president is planning a damage-control press conference later today to wish everyone a "Merry Christmas, especially all our friends in the Muslim world."

Truly hilarious, but it would be funnier if it wasn't actually happening
Perhaps the God Squad should be celebrating the guy's actual birthday, instead of propagating their choice to co-opt Dec. 25 as the birth of Jesus, which was only done to help smooth their obliteration of religions more ancient than even the old testament.

I haven't actually said "Merry Christmas" to anyone in years. I say "Happy Holidays" both out of respect for the fact that most of the world has not been infected by the God Squad and the fact that I, myself, am not Christian. However, if you would like to use Holiday Greetings that are historically accurate, feel free to read further

Happy Feast of Sol

The following is a quote from the 2000 Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 11 ; page 390.

"During the later periods of Roman history, sun worship gained in importance and ultimately led to what has been called a 'solar monotheism.' Nearly all the gods of the period were possessed of Solar qualities, and both Christ and Mithra acquired the traits of solar deities. The feast of Sol and Victus (open unconquered Sun) on December 25th was celebrated with great joy, and eventually this date was taken over by the Christians as Christmas, the birthday of Christ."

------------------------
Happy Feast of the Son of Isis

The answer lies in the pagan origins of Christmas. In ancient Babylon, the feast of the Son of Isis (Goddess of Nature) was celebrated on December 25. Raucous partying, gluttonous eating and drinking, and gift-giving were traditions of this feast.

I find it funny that those that are promoting "Go out and spend your savings for Christmas" even consider Jesus at all. The spending has nothing to do with the true idea behind Christmas yet that is what we have created.

Yes, you are correct, the day was chosen to over ride any other celebration that had been going on for many centuries.

You should change that to "Go out and spend your savings and future earnings for Christmas". The Holidays wouldn't be what they are whithout credit.

Happy Winter Solstice!
