Whatever unites us, the left is against…
The left hates Christmas because it hates all expressions of faith in our society. On a deeper level, however, the War on Christmas is a war on America.
In many ways, Christmas is as much an American holiday as a Christian holiday. (No trees or tinsel in Bethlehem.) Today, only 63% of Americans call themselves Christians, while 93% celebrate Christmas. In other words, almost a third of those who celebrate Christmas are non-Christians.
More than Thanksgiving, Memorial Day or the Fourth of July, Christmas unites us as a people.
Anything that brings Americans together, the left fears — like the flag, the national anthem and statues of our heroes.
This is reflected in the push to get Christmas trees out of public parks and libraries (which have no problem celebrating Pride Month and having “drag queen story hour”) and the holy war against holiday decorations in schools and other public places. Sales staff risk life and limb by wishing customers a “merry Christmas.”
The mainstream media tries to gaslight us by telling us the War on Christmas was invented by conservative groups to raise money and mobilize the base.
You really can’t make this stuff up.
The King County, Washington, Human Rights Commission has banned Christmas and Hanukkah decorations from the workplaces of county employees — including virtual workplaces. Even holiday-themed clothing is verboten.
“Some employees may not share your religion, practice any religion, or share your enthusiasm for holiday decorations,” a memo from the commission explains.
This exquisite sensitivity applies only to religious holidays. Everyone must take part in Pride Month and do homage to Black Lives Matter.
On the other side of the continent, the War on Christmas has taken a nasty turn.
The Needham, Massachusetts, Public Library decided it would break 28 years of tradition by not displaying a Christmas tree this year, because unnamed people said that last year, the evergreen made them “feel uncomfortable.” What, they thought the Tannenbaum would assault them, or try to convert them to Christianity?
After a public outcry, the library relented. The reversal, in turn, set off a member of the town’s Human Rights Commission (HRCs are general headquarters for secularist witch hunts), who went full Grinch, calling the lady who championed the tree’s return a “selfish f—-ing b——” and “disgusting trash” who had somehow endangered the lives of municipal workers because “that’s what your magic sky daddy wants.” The billet-doux closed with the author wishing “great suffering” on the tree’s proponents. She has since resigned from her position.
If the right invented the War on Christmas, why are there so many enemies of Yuletide cheer, who range from the mildly obnoxious to the downright hysterical?
In part, it’s a sense of entitlement. Liberals believe they have a right not to be confronted with signs of a holiday they don’t celebrate. But it goes far beyond that to a matter of national identity.
The left is for everything that divides us — multiculturalism, critical race theory, sexual indoctrination in the schools and unisex bathrooms — and against everything that unites us. Nothing brings Americans together like Christmas — and I say that as a non-Christian.
For most Americans, Christmas brings back happy childhood memories — fluffy snowflakes, colored lights, tinsel, mounds of presents, festively decorated trees and stories about flying sleighs and a jolly old gent who resembles your favorite uncle.
Christmas seems to be a uniquely American holiday — Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” “Miracle on 34th Street,” “Yes, Virginia, There Is a Santa Claus,” and memories of a time before homeless encampments, illegal aliens streaming across the border, fentanyl and men in ballgowns demanding their inalienable right to invade ladies’ shower and changing rooms. Christmas reminds us of a time when America was sane — the normalcy for which many long.
“Merry Christmas” is an expression of goodwill and hope for the future. Optimism is another American virtue.
The War on Christmas isn’t just another dimension of the culture war, but psych warfare against Americanism. The left isn’t just gunning for Christmas trees, glad tidings and a Jolly Old Elf with a sack full of presents, but the American ideal, which we must fight to preserve.
Like Natalie Wood’s character in “Miracle on 34th Street,” we must believe and keep right on believing — that there’s a mystical connection between Christmas and America.

Be bold and unapologetic. I go out of my way to offend the left. I put up a Christ centered Christmas display even though few people are around to see it. I do it for my wife and grandchildren to enjoy. I make wise cracks in certain company just to raise some dander. I laugh out loud at homos when I see them. I’m quite cantankerous to the lefties(green hairs), while treating conservative freedom loving Americans with honor and respect, I make it as noticeable as possible. I only encounter these freaks at the grocery store(vacationers) or if I’m down the hill(off the mountain). Yes, I take the time to fuck with them whenever I can. I’m the type who intentionally stores punky logs to burn when the air b&b asshole show up in their Teslas for a weekend get away. I smoke the shit out of the place. My chimney looks like a smoke stack out of one of those fake political commercials. I fly the American flag outside my house big and beautiful. I make an effort not to be PC no matter where I am or what I’m doing. If I see an air b&ber with lefty bumper stickers parked at the rental across the way, I keep a Trump flag and a FJB flag to hang for those special occasions. Try it, it’s pretty satisficing.
Fly said flags daily!
My inquisitive flamingo as you can see approves of this daily occurrence!
Good on you James.
Flamingo… aahh yaah sure…
God bless you James.
Add in pincushions and zippers, woke dumbasses and maskers and we’d be pretty much on the same page.
My brother from another mother….way to go!
King County forbidding Xmas for county employees seems a bit unconstitutional, no? “Freedom OF religion” means I can practice it, no?
If you still are celebrating Christmas, then you should clearly see CHRIST has been removed long ago.. The KING stated the KINGDOM is within… Traditions make “void” the Word of GOD… The KING was conceived on the 25th, not birthed… HIS birth was in September.. If we profess to be christians, then we worship the KING every day, and not just on a certain calendar day, or just one day a week for one hour…
Christ is not my King, as I don’t belong to a nation. He is my Head as I am a part of His body.
Pastor- That is closer to the truth than most can understand.
I’ve been working on making such things clear for a long time.
Mostly it’s…
Galatians 4:16 KJB… “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?”
You maybe part of the body, but if you are one of his, you will be in his Kingdom.
Not the earthly one. That’s for Jews and Gentiles. I’m neither…
Galatians 3:28 KJB… “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”
2 Corinthians 5:17 KJB… “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
This is a epic holiday treat!
Vox Day remembers….
I used to love going to Rosedale, Southdale, and occasionally, the Galleria, at Christmastime. From the time I was a little boy, they were vast and magical Winter Wonderlands, where children could roam freely and window-shop. I used to wander alone from one end of the mall to the other, with particular attention paid to B. Daltons and Games by James. I still remember being 11 years old and walking back through the parking lot at Rosedale to our Oldmobile station wagon with my father, who was carrying what seemed at the time to be a very large package.
When I asked him what it was, he said “the best Christmas present you’ll ever get”. I can’t say he was wrong, because it was a Mattel Intellivision, and with the possible exception of an Apple //e with two disk drives, it was the device that I loved most throughout the course of my life. From that year on, I’d happily be abandoned in Sears when my mother was shopping, playing Utopia or Sea Battle in the little electronics section.
When I started working at Dayton’s at the age of 15, I began seeing Christmas from the other side, from the retailer’s perspective, and it was every bit as magical. Dayton’s was one of the anchor department stores at all the Dales, and it was always exciting when the Christmas decorations would start going up the day after Thanksgiving. The sights, the lights, and the smells, taken in sum, were nothing but pure and unadulterated joy.
This sense of communal magic and wonder is one of the many things that vibrancy has cost America. Perhaps it wasn’t important, perhaps it wasn’t a significant part of the Christmas season, but I loved it as a child and it grieves me to know that it is part of the world that we have lost.
Jesus Christ is the only lasting foundation for any nation. The Bible says, all nations that forget God will be turned into hell.” And “Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” A snowman, a Christmas tree and some presents from a pagan Roman festival of idolatry and child sacrifice to Moloch aren’t going to hold anything together. In fact, it is falling apart as we speak.
The King I believe was conceived on the Winter Solstice. The Light that came into the World on the darkest day/night of the year. Science has supposedly proven that when the sperm hits the egg there is a flash of light.
It’s not just America the Left wishes to mar, they despise Christ, too, and want any reference to Him and His positive spiritual message of hope eliminated from tradition and history – even if it means bankrupting or killing people who are the innate vessels of such philosophy.
America was never meant to be this way, yet here it is. God help us all.
” I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.” ~ Psalm 26:5 (KJV)
The extreme left shitrag, NJ Shit Ledger, had two editorials on the front page today;
— one was by a Loo rabbi … the entire screed was mostly about finally getting a damned Christmas tree in his living room. God? Not so much.
— the other was by a, well guess according to the title …”I am a Muslim and I love Christmas, don’t you?” …. it was all about giving gifts. God? Not so much.
There was a third “Christmas” editorial on the 3rd page. It was by some “Right Reverend” (actual title) from some Episcopal church. His focus was entirely about God’s “unconditi0nal love for all”. So far, so good. But, he goes on to say, “When God says all, he means ALL.”. Naturally, that means homos, lesbies, deviants of every stripe, and even those who hate God.
MERRY LEFTY X-MAS TO ALL!!!
Stucky- It seems to me that if folks stopped buying the NJ ShitLedger, advertising $$$$ would disappear and soon the lefty shitbags would be duly unemployed. In other words, stop buying that rag.
You will be a much happier person if you stop reading leftist BS.
Here in british communista we have our priorities right.
The Province rag, one of the two biggest papers, owned by the same company, had for their front page. London Drugs super christmas sale… full page front page. Priorities man, priorities.
PS. Happy Christmas
Merry Christmas Brian! Best wishes to you and your family.
Hope you aren’t anywhere near Ottawa today, horrific weather.
It wasn’t the Needham public library. It was the town next door, Dedham. Dr Turtleboy exposed the whole thing on his blog. Then when some MSM outlets found his expose they reported on it as if it was a story developed by them. This happens often.
I bought the Leftards a Christmas gift…but, it’ll keep until they chose to come for it…lead never rusts.
This morning the internet did not work. I did all the maneuvers to restart it – without success.
So I left it and read the story, in Matthew, of the birth of Jesus.
When I got to the point where the 3 wise men have gone back to their country, the internet connection came back.
So I had to read the story in order that it be restored.
utter nonsense. its commercialism gone wild.
Psalm 2:2&3 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Judges 17:6 …every man did that which was right in his own eyes. KJV
Bands and cords keep one from doing what one wants to do. These versus are in actuality end times prophetic, their bands & cords are the bands & cords of the law. That people are stripping themselves of today. Gays seeking preferential treatment under the ruse of equal rights, law suits against Christian bakeries that refuse to make gay wedding cakes and other businesses, the war on Christians, such as Obama’s lawsuit on the Little Sisters of the Poor, the war on Christmas, the removal of Christmas displays from public places and all the rest. The war on the ten commandments, crosses, and Bible verses in public places. The perverted, twisted neo ideology of separation of church and state. It reminds me of Bill Clinton’s question “what is the definition of is” BTW the phrase “separation of church and state” is not even in the Constitution. Bible verses are not churches therefore do not fit the criteria to violate separation of church and state. All of these and all others fulfill, Psalm 2:2&3 I need your help. If you like my videos and comments pls subscribe. I will subscribe back to you. Thank you.
The Psalm 2 war on the Christians is in full swing. Gay people oppress/hate Christians when they get political power.
Click my icon, thank you.
not surprising that it was not said that it was the Christ killing jews that took the nativity scene down across the country and replaced it with the devils pitchfork the menorah. nativity sign not allowed in front of the white house but replaced by a 30 ft menorah
All liberals are scum
Christmas is not Christian, just because you slap the name christ on it doesn’t make it so. The retailer like it, because they sell their China made junk. The bible says if you want to heal your nation, get back to Yahweh.
