MB and a whole lotta other folks don’t seem to recognize satire. It’s funny when Bachmann misses it.

I suggest that GK and MB just stay away from the Unitarians we
really do not like them hanging around and leaving bad smells.

And give X-mas back to the Druids but keep the fake 60watt lightbulb baby and the rest of the dreck.

“rejects bigotry and persecution directed against Christians”
Why did she add “against Christans”? Is bigotry acceptable otherwise?

My Continuing war on Christmas haters.

A Methodist dad wants to get into the Christmas mood. He plays a record of “The Christmas Song” and sings along to the familiar “chestnuts roasting on an open fire” refrain. Then he feels like a movie, and watches “White Christmas” with his family. Before bed, he reads his daughter the Caldecott-winning children’s Christmas book, “The Polar Express.”

Not many people know it, but Jews have a long history of orchestrating Christmas, back to the early 1800s when French composer Adolphe Adam wrote the music for “O Holy Night.”

co-written or performed by verifiably Jewish artists. Here’s a rundown on the songs with Jewish connections.

The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)
Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Do They Know It’s Christmas? (Feed the World)
Santa Baby
Holly Jolly Christmas
Santa Claus is Coming to Town
I’ll Be Home for Christmas
Silver Bells
It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Sleigh Ride
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
There’s No Place Like Home for the Holidays
Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree
White Christmas

I guess without these it would be a silent night.

“It’s freedom OF religion, nor freedom FROM religion.”

That’s not quite right. I am free to exercise no religion. So I’m free from religion. Of course, others have their 1st Amendment rights to express religion or not as they see fit.

It’s just when people insist on their expression in our commonly-held public squares that the tug of war gets dicey.

Sorry that Garrison didn’t like the Unitarian song. I feel that way about a lot of songs people reorchestrate.

But his religious freedom has not been impinged, just his taste. It would have been more polite to say he didn’t like it, rather than “buzz off.” Too much like the “love it or leave it” cr-p concerning patriotism in America

Oh, BTW, Jesus stole the holiday from the pagans.
