Rants are Funny
So just before christmas my brother sent me this link to this chrinstmas rant. I didn't know, but apparently the right wing is all up in arms about people attacking christmas.. I had no idea! How did I know know where to join up!?
Here's a little sample from this website:
Speaking of Jew-hating, Pat Buchanan has joined the hype-a-thon of the supposed Attack on Christmas, too. Or, as he put it, “What we’re witnessing here are hate crimes against Christianity.” Sorry? We’re not so hot on paying for an inflatable camel for your goddamn nativity scene and suddenly we’re Slobodan fucking Milosevic? Fuck you. Get some goddamn perspective, you little prick. When they start hunting Christians in the streets, it’ll be time to start yelling “Hate crime.” And no, it won’t count when they start chasing you with the torches. That’ll be called “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.”
If you enjoy Rants-ala-Sean, you should definitely check it out, especially cause it's so well informed (lots of links) -> here!

that's goddamn funny. and a little too right. it's not-so-funny how one-sided most things are.
A little too right for sure. I can't believe they're going on so much about christian persecution... maybe they just feel left out.
"Wake up assholes — you’re the cowboys, not the fucking Indians."
I think that says it pretty well. I mean seriously, who are these guys fooling here? Christianity has been the dominant religion in the western world for what, say a little under 2000 years. Geez, talk about wanting your cake and eating it too.
Finally, Christmas is originally much older than christianity. It's pagan, and probably older than that too. Think about it, a bunch of pissed off cave-people cold and bored, so lets have a celebration in the dead of winter (coincidence that it's almost exactly on solestice?) to shake things up and get people in good spirits. Leave it to Constantine and his cronies to take advantage of a good thing. It was pagan, they were trying to join the christians and pagans to avoid civil war, so Solestice becomes Christmas.
Next year I say we return to the old ways...Orgy anyone?
Maybe more like stealing the cake, stuffing your face with it, and then demanding another one with more frosting this time
