I was only two years old when this fantastic cartoon was produced. I’m surprised feminazis, Black Lives Matter race baiters, moronic college students, and left wing Obamanistas haven’t protested the airing of this “racist” (no blacks or hispanics in the cartoon), “sexist” (no lesbians or transgenders), “bigoted” (actually declares Christmas to be about the birth of Christ), and “non-inclusive” (no accolades to Muslims, Jews, or atheists).
I actually watched the airing last night, and it hasn’t lost any of its impact. It could never get produced today, and that tells you much about the degradation and cultural decay of our politically correct shallow society.
How true, the meaning of Christmas is about the birth of Christ and forgiveness. Forgiveness is not allowed in political correctness. The dystopia that is now our Republic is getting worse and cannot end well. Keep a bible close, we need it to keep us from going totally off the deep end!
It’s a blast from the past for me as well. Like the original Looney Tunes cartoons, which also would never be made today. The past is a foreign country.
“The past is a foreign country”.
Very nicely said.
I was taking a ladder over to a neighbor on Sunday morning and turned the radio on. NPR was busy as a little beaver running Charles Shultz down, degrading his name, telling stories about his failed marriage, how his father was crappy to him, about being sent off to war after his mother passed away and how it destroyed him- all n their sing-songy every sentence begins with so and ends on a high note like it’s a question? To make it seem like they were being respectful? When really they just wanted to rip little holes in the fabric of his life story? And how Lucy was really about empowered women? Instead of a passive-aggressive bitch?
I remember thinking “why are they ripping on Chas Schultz?” before tuning in to the classical station.
Now I know. Ruin a cherished television tradition for another generation. They never rest, the nation wreckers. Everything must be leveled and the earth salted.
Schulz insisted that no laugh track be used. At the time, canned laughter was a virtual requirement for TV comedy. Mendelson pleaded that without it, the special would plod along. But Schulz detested laugh tracks and would not budge, according to the Michaelis biography.
The other standoff involved religion. The script included a climactic speech in which Linus delivered an onstage explanation of the “true meaning of Christmas” by reciting the story of Jesus’ birth according to St. Luke. Mendelson argued that religion had to be kept out of prime-time entertainment. Again, Schulz — who according to his biographer was engaged in a lifelong internal struggle over his own Christian beliefs — was insistent: “We can’t avoid it.”
Audiences quickly embraced “Charlie Brown Christmas” as a seasonal parable of redemption, well in keeping with “A Christmas Carol” and “It’s a Wonderful Life.” The premiere was seen by more than 15 million U.S. households, with 45 percent of TVs in use that night tuned in to the program, according to Nielsen.
I think of several African countries that were fast becoming modern and productive before the Communist and Muslims burned that continent down. The Liberals especially have turned America into dry brush and social organizers are starting fires everywhere. BHO is as busy supporting and importing our enemies as he is busy destroying the good people of the world. He is Evil personified, leader of Useful Idiots and a Cheerleader for The Devil himself.
I know that many people on this blog and others who admire at least some aspects of Objectivism like to refer to Atlas Shrugged as a model of where our society is headed.
I prefer her first in the trilogy (she claimed the three novels told the whole story of Objectivism, so I read all three and while I did NOT like Fountainhead’s characters or plot very much at all, but did like Atlas Shrugged, I always return to Anthem for a better understanding of control freaks who seem to attack others’ right to think and speak for seemingly no reason at all.
It is their complete and total lack of intellectual honesty that causes them to destroy others’ rights. If they don’t destroy Charlie Brown’s Christmas, they might have to admit they don’t have the slightest understanding of the profound power and impact a cherished tradition that teaches love for one’s fellow man has on children. Especially one that doesn’t involve chanting strange nonsensical phrases again and again in order to “learn” values.
Why people just can’t turn the channel or skip over someone’s commentary without spitting vitriol and hatred at the sight of an opinion that doesn’t feed their demon I do not know. Well, yes I do. It is the Crisis phase in the four turnings.
I did a lot of research on Theodore Geisel aka Dr. Seuss when I was a new mother and making sure that all the videos I was letting my son view didn’t have subliminal messages woven into them. (Remember, I was the first years of pursuing a journalism degree at the “J-school” and had just learned about all the tricks and tools used by PR, Advertising and even Broadcast and Print News Media in order to influence opinon.)
I HATE seeing all the Dr. Seuss merchandise out there… he is, I think, like Schlutz, spinning in his grave because his descendants sold out to the mighty dollar.
My son learned to read with Dr. Theodophalus (sp) Seuss. He could recite Green Eggs and Ham before he could read it. But, Dr. Seuss/Geisel, knew that it was the same thing.
His was an amazing journey…
And that plain little lad got a little bit mad
And that plain little Mack did a plain little thing.
He burped!
And his burp shook the throne of the king!
I was forced to watch the 50th anniversary show which preceded the actual cartoon version. Don’t worry the liberals used that show to promote their agenda. They had 3 black musical groups including Boys to Men (what does an irrelevant old band like this have to do with Charlie Brown?) A lesbian atheist Sarah McLaughlin, and a gay piano player. And Matthew Morrison who, depending on the audience he is addressing is gay, and sometimes claims he is straight. Ill let you decide.
“Why people just can’t turn the channel or skip over someone’s commentary without spitting vitriol and hatred at the sight of an opinion that doesn’t feed their demon I do not know.”
There has been a war going on between God and Satan ever since Adam and Eve ate the fruit from the tree of knowledge. Mankind has rebelled against God and believe they are gods themselves. To fill this void, they worship the created versus the Creator and fulfill their fleshy desires with wickedness.
This is why the Bible and Christianity are publicly ridiculed and denounced as hypocritical bigots. It makes sin more socially acceptable. For example, homosexuality is condemned in the Bible so it is attacked. Churches have become social clubs who have watered down Biblical principles so that it doesn’t offend anybody. Who wants to be convicted or feel guilt for their sins? Plus, churches now compete against tv, sports, working on Sundays, shopping, etc.
The churches need more Lester Roloffs and revivals. The churches have lost their spirit and fight against the cultural Marxists.
1 Peter 5:8
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour
Ephesians 6:12
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in places.
The progressive virus has been rampant for decades, and the shadow men brainwash us with lies. This is who we are fighting against.
If anyone is looking for traditional Christmas music this season, I suggest listening to KNVBC. They not only play the “religious” songs but also the classics like Burl Ives, Nat King Cole, Gene Autry, Boston Pops’ “Sleigh Ride”
Maggie ,objectivism itself is a selfish godless atheistic ideology dreamed up by a godless lesbian.
These people know exactly what they are doing when they attack , slander and degrade our Christian traditions. They are basically doing the work of their father .They are filled with hate and murder. They can’t kill Christ again but they can destroy Christian culture , traditions , history andeventually Christians. The Muslims invasion of Europe is about destroying the very heart of Christianity.As Karl Marx said everything must be destroyed in (present )order to build his utopian society.(future )
Make sure you obtain a copy and bury it in the backyard or save it on a dark corner of your hard drive. No doubt in a few years this show will indeed be outlawed because even the snowflakes in the background animation offend our own “special snowflakes,” the generation born with an iPad in their hands. Possession of this racist, misogynistic, culturally insensitive Aryan propaganda will be punished with forced relocation to the Central Reeducation Depot for Unrepentant Privilege (formerly known as Mizzou.)
Tumbleweed… I actually went to my collection today to see if it is in there. (I’ve been saving DVDs for years for the day when we have to watch the flat screen with battery power stored from the solar array.
By candlelight.
The Great Pumpkin is there, but not this one. Good Grief!
For those that mail Christmas cards,the post office has Charlie Brown stamps
This cartoon could not be made today because there is no market for it, Southpark is the favorite today. It is an irreverent cartoon and could never impart the same values. Too bad we abandoned our kids to the electronic babysitter, Madonna, Britney, Miley and Kim have raised our kids. So if they’re fucked up, blame their media parents. Now, let’s get back to Charlie Brown, snif..
