the WAR on CHRISTMAS

Why Do Some People Still Deny it

THE WAR ON CHRISTMAS

Okay, for those of you who walk while dragging your knuckles on the ground and breathe through your mouth on the way to your neighbours trailer to watch enlightening TV like WWE Smackdown because you can't afford electricity or a buck for the paper, read carefully. I'll type this as slow as I can so you can keep up.

There are among us those Neanderthals who haven't heard of the war on Christmas. An article came across my desk the other day that pertains to the UK and how scared they are of offending Muslims. This is not particular to the UK, it includes all of Europe. And it should worry us here in North America. The article cites only England, granted, but I think it is safe to say it includes Great Britain and, indeed, the United Kingdom.

A school over there has banned Christmas cards in class. A school. Christmas cards. How low can we go? A court has told a homeowner he can only have so many Christmas lights on his house. I guess a man's home isn't his castle anymore. This from a land that makes a good deal of money giving castle tours. A traditional Nativity play has been replaced by reggae style Christmas carols. Makes sense. Don't want to upset any Bob Marley fans.

A school in Rotherham decided to offer halal turkey and chicken for its Christmas meal. I don't know what halal turkey is, but it sounds like tofu to me. Why have they done this? Because they have a large Muslim population who are putting pressure on them. Sounding familiar folks?

Businesses do not seem to be immune against this onslaught. Three out of four (74%) British firms said this week that they had outlawed tinsel, trees and other traditional festive trappings from the workplace. Employers are afraid of possible litigation. ( That's slapping you upside the head with a lawsuit for those of you who have trouble with words more than 2 syllables long)

Jack Straw, former foreign secretary and now leader of the House of Commons, said it was, "politically correct nonsense". Horsefeathers. England is as scared as Spain, France, Germany and other countries of offending these Muslim pieces of work.
