&lt;p&gt;All of us at foxattacks.com and Brave New Films would like to wish all of you a merry War On Christmas! Because if the word &amp;ldquo;Christmas&amp;rdquo; isn&amp;rsquo;t displayed in stores or by America&amp;rsquo;s supposedly secular government, where else can you celebrate it except your church, your home, parades, with friends and family, in your mind, and in your heart? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div class="post_content"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &amp;quot;War On Christmas&amp;quot; gone bad. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=503920&amp;amp;amp;in_page_id=1766&amp;amp;amp;ito=1490"&gt;Teachers banned&lt;/a&gt; a nine-year-old boy from his class Christmas party because his parents had barred him from RE &lt;em&gt;(ed note- religious education)&lt;/em&gt; lessons. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Douglas Stewart was forced to stay at home while his friends received presents from Santa and tucked into ice cream and jelly. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;His parents were told he was not welcome at the celebration because they had pulled him out of religious eduction classes earlier in the year.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can&amp;#39;t even begin to tell you how many Jewish holiday gatherings I&amp;#39;ve been to in my life. No one ever checked &lt;em&gt;my &lt;/em&gt;bona fides at the door.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Headmaster Ian Davidson said that because the youngster had no interest in religion he could not celebrate the birth of Christ. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Furious mother Dawn Riddell, 38, said yesterday: &amp;quot;I&amp;#39;ve helped out at the Christmas party before and it&amp;#39;s got absolutely nothing to do with Jesus. Douglas was heartbroken he couldn&amp;#39;t go. It was cruel.&amp;quot; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(snip)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As the family have no religious beliefs, Miss Riddell had asked for them to be exempt from RE lessons. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;But she was stunned when the head called with the news about the party. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;She contacted Moray Council to find out its policy on school parties and was told these were non-religious.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sounds like someone got a bug in their saddle over the fact the family was &amp;quot;non-religious&amp;quot; and decided to be a Grinch.&amp;nbsp; Or maybe England is in the forefront on the &amp;quot;War On Christmas&amp;quot; and they&amp;#39;ve already won. Either way, it won&amp;#39;t be covered by O&amp;#39;Reilly.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As usual, Keith Olbermann has little problem  in holding up the incrediable hypcorisy of Bill  O'Reilly in this segment.&lt;/p&gt;

While this sort of issue pops up several times every year somewhere or another in the nation, to my knowledge this is the first time that there&amp;#39;s been a city ordinance on the ballot &lt;strong&gt;which would specifically REQUIRE church &amp;amp; state to mix in such a fashion.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Visit my &lt;a href="http://www.dailykos.com/user/Brainwrap"&gt;earlier diaries on the subject&lt;/a&gt; for the whole backstory. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because Anglo-Saxon Christians have historically been soooo repressed. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="post_content"&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Remember that &lt;a href="http://mediamatters.org/items/200511210003" title="MM BOR WOC"&gt;ridiculous campaign O&amp;rsquo;Reilly launched&lt;/a&gt; a few years ago about the War On Christmas (WOC)? Remember how the right and ass clowns like O&amp;rsquo;Reilly and John Gibson used purposefully &lt;a href="http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2005-12-18-gunn_x.htm" title="no WOC"&gt;militaristic language&lt;/a&gt; to convince its followers that Christmas was &amp;ldquo;under attack&amp;rdquo; instead of promoting the holiday&amp;rsquo;s messages of peace, love, compassion, understanding and generosity? Remember how backward-ass &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/12/09/AR2005120901357.html" title="where&amp;amp;#39;s the WOC"&gt;insane&lt;/a&gt; it was and how it became a &lt;a href="http://dir.salon.com/story/news/feature/2005/11/21/christmas/" title="still no WOC"&gt;total joke&lt;/a&gt; in the eyes of rational, non-hysterical people across the country? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well lock and load your fruitcake and get ready to re-up &amp;mdash; the WOC is back and it&amp;rsquo;s starting early! WorldNetDaily (formerly known as NAMBLA) has set up an &lt;a href="http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=58101" title="WND"&gt;online store&lt;/a&gt; so you can create &amp;ldquo;your personal &amp;lsquo;Christmas-defense kit&amp;rsquo;&amp;rdquo;. While bibles and crosses are apparently out of vogue, you can choose from a number of pithy bumper stickers which such slogans as:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;- &amp;quot;This is America! And I&amp;#39;m going to say it: &amp;#39;Merry Christmas!&amp;#39;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;- &amp;quot;It is STILL a wonderful life &amp;ndash; Merry Christmas!&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;- &amp;quot;Merry Christmas! An American Tradition&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;WND notes that these bumper stickers are magnetized so you can &amp;ldquo;use them this year, next year and for many years to come.&amp;rdquo; I guess the right wants the WOC to last as long as the Iraq war &amp;mdash; FOREVER!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can also get your own &amp;ldquo;Operation: Just Say&amp;hellip;&amp;rsquo;Merry Christmas&amp;rsquo;&amp;rdquo; rubber bracelet for just $2, so everyone you meet will know that you are a proud soldier in the Christmas War that does not actually exist &amp;mdash; and that you can be easily tricked out of $2 (plus shipping and handling).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Last week, Bill O'Reilly attacked Jon Stewart and the Daily Show for what he claimed was their role in continuing the "War on Christmas", and used a year old clip to prove this claim, then very pointedly wished Stewart, who is Jewish, a Merry Christmas.  This week &lt;a href="http://www.newshounds.us/2005/12/08/jon_stewart_hits_back_at_bill_oreilly.php"&gt;Jon Stewart decided to hit back&lt;/a&gt; - and hit back hard.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
