Christmas is the only religious holiday recognized by the federal government. The ACLU is going to stop that and take the War on Christmas to a whole new level.
Today, in the United States District Court in San Francisco, California, the ACLU has filed suit against the United States over the holidays that are designated as federal holidays where the federal government is closed. They argue that Christmas is the only religious holiday on the list and that it does not recognize religious holidays of other religions and it leaves out atheists.…

It wasn't originally intended to be satire?? Now I'm disturbed. That means Bambenek was serious, and explains why he's kept mum throughout this thread.

"Of course it's a mistake to lump Christopher Hitchens in with "the left's 'War on Christmas'," considering Hitchens has disowned the political Left, supports the war in Iraq, and endorsed George W. Bush in 2004. (Plus, we on the left don't want to be associated with him; he's a egotistical jerk.)"
Michael Moore, Al Franken, Bill Maher, Keith Olbermann, George Soros, and Chris Matthews aren't egotistical jerks???
(And yes, to precognitively respond to your response, there are egotistical jerks on the right as well.)

Rather like Fred Phelps, JOM gets his rocks off knowing how much everyone else despises his quite loathsome posts, which are devoid of anything resembling genuine reasoning or wit.
Is this "performance art," like Moonraven's? At least she [once in a long while] is capable of making a point worth making or getting a real laugh.
If anyone agreed with him or had anything complimentary to say, he wouldn't know how to handle it. Like Phelps, he's best ignored. As with Phelps, it's not easy.

Interesting, JOM. Let me ask you something. Do you wake up in the morning, inject yourself with bile and spew meaningless nonsense as your body rejects the injection? Or is it just a netural defect in your make-up?

Hey geniuses... look above the title... see that little tag that says "Satire"... just because it doesn't say satire in the title doesn't mean it isn't satire...
Do you really need me to spoon feed you all?
38 - Dr Dreadful
But John, dear, it does say satire in the title...
39 - Clavos
Yeah, but he didn't put it there; one of the editors did.
Nothing like overkill...
40 - John Bambenek
Satire was put in the title because Google gets stupid about satire that isn't in the satire. However, when I put it in the system, I selected the article type (i.e. satire).
Your failure to pay attention is not my oversight.

As John pointed out, It needed to be there.
Nothing like not knowing the way Google News works...
"there are egotistical jerks on the right as well."
Unless, people are visiting BC for the first time, that's self-evident

Michael Moore, Al Franken, Bill Maher, Keith Olbermann, George Soros, and Chris Matthews aren't egotistical jerks???
Oh, yeah. They are. And I don't want to be associated with them, either.

"I don't want to be associated with them [a list that includes Al Franken], either."
Then I suppose you'll be supporting Senator Norm Coleman's re-election next year? ;-)
