So when will Christmas be banned from America?

So unless government helps enforce it people won' believe in God?

 

You americans can be glad that you can look to europe, and sweden in particular, to see how your future will look like if you go down the democrat path. Saint lucy's, gingerbread, graduation from schools in churches, pslams in schools, singing the anthem during graduation, it's all banned in sweden. Not on a national level though notably, but by municipalities and schools only as of yet. There's no resistance of notice of it from the riksdag though. Not suprising since it's those people that are suggesting we change the cross on our flag to a crescent and star, remove the 'brown' from 'brown beans' as to not offend, change the name of negerboll (negroball, it's a chocolate candy ball) etc. While a former leader of our biggest party calls swedish traditions silly whilst praising muslim immigrants for their strong cultural pride, and our prime minister calls what's swedish for barbarity.

put us out of our misery.

 

and thats soon to happen in america

 

No you still have some balls left. Half the country is conservative. It will take very long

for the same reason gingerbread men are banned in some schools in sweden, and saint lucy's. white people giving up their traditions because they hate themselves, that's why.

 

yeah. cause progressives/liberals want society to turn itself inside out into a god hating hippe orgy

 

If you believe in democracy, act democratically. If you don't, better chuck guns around like confetti and give every nutter the chance to prove his independence by believing he's desperately persecuted if he can't murder children.

 

Well I don't know about where you live but here in the US we are not a Democracy and the founding fathers insured we would not be one.

 

The Pilgrims who came to America in 1620 were strict Puritans, with firm views on religious holidays such as Christmas and Easter. Scripture did not name any holiday except the Sabbath, they argued, and the very concept of "holy days" implied that some days were not holy. "They for whom all days are holy can have no holiday," was a common Puritan maxim. Puritans were particularly contemptuous of Christmas, nicknaming it "Foolstide" and banning their flock from any celebration of it throughout the 17th and 18th centuries.

Unless some extremist, atheistic Ayn Randian could actually transform the nation to comport with her grim fiction, Christmas is here to stay - on December 25, despite the timing being chosen due to the pagan festivities attendant to Winter Solstice.

History shows that December 25 was popularized as the date for Christmas, not because Christ was born on that day, but because it was already popular in pagan religious celebrations as the birthday of the sun.

When Christians jumped on the pagan party bandwagon, it was a shrewd move.

 

A god hating hippe orgy? Is that like a hippo orgy or a hippie orgy?

Unfortunately I don't know any liberals who are into that- maybe its a conservative thing that they are keeping quiet about?

 

It's a paranoia thing. You wouldn't understand.

 

Yeah whatever, get out of here. This aint no gun thread. Fool.

 

All time-sensitive hoopla aside, keeping the spirit of the holiday all the year 'round is the true desideratum.

(I happen to have settled on Halloween.)

 

it wont be banned per say, but i have a feeling it will be renamed in the name of over the top PC. sooner or later people will be (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)ing about signs that say "merry christmas".....oh wait!!!!!!!

 

Christians stole 'Christmas' from pagans.

SMH

 

If the majority has spoken, the majority has spoken. What can I say?

 

Yeah, these people are nutso.

 

Every time I see the title to this post I'm thinking it says "so when will they be banning Christians from America?" I guess its the same thing since we have this ever presence of a socialist/leftist/atheistic movement led by obama who are quickly dismantling everything good and moral from our society by replacing morality with the murder/abortion of 55+ million of our babies since Roe v Wade, with advocating for the euthanizing of our elderly, with siding with the leaders of our enemies, with getting in bed with the queer population, subsidizing the abortion mill called planned parenthood, glorifying the godless hollywood elitists and making sure that minorities stay mired in a cradle to grave lifestyle of unending and unproductive entitlements.

 

Not even Hitler dismantled everything good and moral from his society. Obama is literally Bush 2.0. His policies reflect this fact with a slight deviation toward useless corporatist versions of Fabian programs. In other words he uses the perceived moral appeal of social institutions and distorts them to the exact same ends as the entire political establishment has aimed for since at least the Wilson years.

I find it hilarious how hard you try to minimize the blame for tyrannical Presidents you like: such as Ronald Reagan and the rest of the collectivist on liberties, corporatist on economics Republican establishment.

How is this Obama's fault? a) it has continued under every President since 1973 and even more convincingly b) it is clearly a matter for the judiciary. Even if Obama wanted to do something about it he shouldn't since that would be a clear violation of the separation of powers.

I realize that judicial review is kinda sketchy (I despise Marshall), but you can't have it both ways. Either the judiciary has that power or it doesn't. Either way until this question is settled Obama or any other President cannot by the accepted standard of constitutionality do anything to marginalize or restrict access to abortion.

Sigh. What was actually enacted into law was a result of careful collusion between government and industry, creating a mutually beneficial act. It has very little effect on the actual citizenry, and where it does it's clearly not universal in any sense like you imply. There's no reason why you can't just continue on your current private plan. I completely agree that the healthcare legislation passed was unjust and terrible, but because it's a grossly unconstitutional invasion into internal state/personal affairs, not because it's killing your grandma.

Agree on this one, although the wording is a bit misleading. It's not siding with enemies that's wrong, it's using military/economic power at all to enforce US interests and create entangling alliances and protective global monopolies in trade and hegemony.

Obama has done literally nothing to assist homosexuals in their fight for civil rights, or to push counter-effective federal gay marriage legislation through Congress. All he did was say that he'd theoretically support gay marriage but he'll do nothing as a result of that. Wow. How generous.

What he should really be doing is completely removing marriage from the tax code so that a private relationship in a religious sacrament won't be legitimized (and indeed financially incentivized) through big government coercion.

Agree with you on this, although again this isn't a fault solely of Obama among Presidents.

Not sure what you mean by this, or how Obama would possibly achieve it.

Agree with you on this one, although it's partly a result of the completely bipartisan tyranny held over immigration, which was completely free in the golden age of America from the founding of the nation all the way until the early 1920s. The other half is welfare, another largely bipartisan program. Although Democrats push unemployment benefits, Republicans can't get enough of Medicare, Social Security (with Ryan even going so far as to plead that he'll increase the coverage of the programs), and veterans entitlements. Again, while Obama could probably do something to stop all this, at least half of it you completely agree with him on and the other half you're with him in principle, but just can't stand to let "moochers" steal the day.


You'd have so much more success if you stuck to substantive criticisms instead of basically calling him Hitler minus all the killing (or maybe not, since you think he's going to kill your grandma).

 

you can always say (*)(*)(*)(*) the majority. If you think about it, what gives the majority the moral right to decide such things?

 

ASAP please ban it across the world. Its the music, the films, the cost AAAAGGGHHH ban it, ban it, ban it. But keep Easter, lots of chocolate.

 

Christmas will always be here.
