It amazes me that these conversations go on here! The issue isn't whether Jesus was real or that everyone should be celebrating Christmas instead of other holidays! The issue is if I want to say, "Merry Christmas" I shouldn't be penalized for it because I've "offended" someone who doesn't celebrate it! Yes, the USA was founded on the principal that we can worship God in whatever way we want, so regardless of what religion you practice, I'm not judging. It's your life AND your God-given right!
Yeah! Who cares about Freedom of religion! Fuck all other religions! You people are so ignorant, even to your own constitution. Merry Christmas to those celebrating it, Happy Hanukkah to those celebrating it, and Happy Kwanzaa (even though it is not a religious holiday) Respect other religions, because in America, You have the FREEDOM of RELIGION!
Anyone feeling they need "their own holiday" is being stupid. We have one and it's called CHRISTMAS. If it wasn't for Jesus, who by the way ACTUALLY EXISTED AND CAN'T BE CALLED A FAIRY TALE damn near NO ONE you or I know would exist today. The man's ideas are what mad the United States of America...you know the place, where "All men are created equal" and have the God-given right to speak their minds without fear, and live and worship in peace.
@GrandFunker Sure Jesus MIGHT have been real, but there is no proof that he was the son of god. And this guy had nothing to do with the creation of the United States as most of the founding fathers were Atheist or Deists. So long as religion exist, worshiping in peace will never happen.
@rTxMoNsTeRz Here are the facts. Jesus was a real person. I never said anything about him being the son of God. That's an issue of Faith, which is outside of provable fact. The Founding Fathers were not atheists. Considering what they wrote, and how they lived, saying they were atheists is utterly ridiculous.
This is really funny. This is a genuine display of what happens when the Christians get mad, the atheists sue, and the myth of the plural society comes crashing down in the America that many want to claim as either X-tian or not.
So, it's got to be your way or no way, huh? We can't enjoy our own celebrations without threatening you? Why? Is your god, your race, your tradition, your sexuality so brittle, so fragile, so superficial it can't survive if others do, too? Do you need to burn crosses on people's lawns to feel safe? What a bitter, small, frightened way to be, especially at the holidays. I pity you.
thank you for posting this I remeber when glenn aired this for the 1st time on his raido show I just been thanking about when I hear a friend going to a holiday party then I hear happy holidays I agree with Jeff dunham and walter screw you its merry christmas this pc crap has gone too far that is why I like this version stick right back to the left and the aclu.
This country was absolutely and unequivocally NOT founded on "In God We Trust." This was foisted on the public in the 1930's when the country was facing economic difficulties - while everyone was busy providing for their family, the churchies forced it into legislation.
We were founded and must remain a secular country no matter how fervent or well intentioned religious fundamentalism becomes. Pretend for a moment Islam was the predominant cult - what's your feeling then?
@MohawkMangopit actually, if you look at our laws, all of them mirror jeudeo-christian laws, and our country was founded on christianity, our currency was originally suposed to have moses leading the jews on it, the churches never forced anything into legislation, we are and always have been a Christian Nation. And if america is a melting pot, why not embrace everything instead of nothing?
@supertable123 Give that a try and let me know how it works out for you. "Embrace everything." How foolish.
I much prefer the Constitution over the fiction that "we are and always have been a Christian Nation.
"I have examined all of the known superstitions of the world and I do not find in our superstitions of Chrisitanity one redeeming feature. They are all founded on fables and mythology. Christianity has made one half of the world fools and the other half hypocrites."
@MohawkMangopit i agree with you about the "we have been and always will be a christian nation" but im an LDS christian. i really dout that thomas jefferson said that though. there is accually proof in what we believe in. for example: you know the story of noah and the arch? well an archaeologist discovered slabs of stone with writings on them from an ancient city named nineveh that really existed. well the writings on the slabs told a story of a great flood that covered the whole earth......
...... and the only thing that survived the flood was an arch. in the bible teachings, noah was a prophet of the lord and he tried to have people repent of their sins, but they refused, so the lord told noah that he would flood the earth to kill all the wicked people, and to make an arch for his family and two of every kind of animal, male and female, so they could survive the flood. well, noah did what he was told, and it started to rain. well, it rained so much that no mountains were seen.....
.... well the flood lasted for 40 days and nights, then the flood returned to normal land. why do u think lake bountiful was there, covering most of utah? its because lake bountiful was some of the after-math of the flood, NOT the "ice age"
Yikes, they (as in non-white/European Christian minorities) DO celebration Christmas: in Israel, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Turkey, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, China, Japan, Korea, Philippines (very Catholic), Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, all of Africa where some countries are over half Christian, and the Pacific islands. The former USSR & Albania prohibited Christmas during communist rule, so has Cuba under Fidel...and Saudi Arabia will permit Christmas celebrated in US citizen ARAMCO compounds. +
So, how's everyone's Winter solstice in the northern hemisphere? Sorry to have offended the Australians, Argentines or Afrikaaners (er, South African brothers), the seasons are reverse south of the equator. I know a really un-PC holiday tradition in the Netherlands & Belgium, a black African (but referred to a "Moor" of Moroccan Arab origin) elfin known as Zwerte Piet, who was bought in Spain by Santa Claus & became his best friends while working in Santa's toyshop. Isn't that racist? LOL! +
Merry Eastern Orthodox Christmas to all in former Soviet Europe, the Greeks & Armenians whom are numerous in Sou. Cal. The Eastern church calendar is 11-12 days behind the western Roman or American calendar. Dontcha love to be multi-culti, but at the same time the "C" word becomes taboo in the name of being culturally sensitive? I mean, why do we have Kwanzaa when not every black American celebrates it? and the proper spelling of Chanukah (yeah, with a C) will save you trouble. Feliz Navidad! +
I don't think anyone should be forced to leave the country, but, I don't think that offending someone is grounds for political correctness being forced down the majority of the country's citizens.
If you come here and are offended by US culture, then why did you come? You should not expect a whole country and culture to change for you. After all, you can carry out your customs here in the USA without fear. Can a US Christian do the same in your country?
We were founded by Christian beliefs, whether people like it or not. The difference is that our founders had the foresight to allow for the differences in peoples' beliefs.
That has been turned on us by people that are willing to take from this country whatever they can, or attempt to destroy it.
Understand, I am no religious zealot. Just a regular guy tired of the crap we take from people that hate us and our government for tolerating it.
I do not agree with violent acts carried out in the name of religion/culture. There is no middle ground concerning acts like beheadings, or killing of thousands of innocents. It is plain evil. Therefore, I have no desire to visit, let alone live in any country whose culture could possibly condone those actions and where I would not be accepted.
Why do people that hate what the USA is come here to live, and then complain about it, and then want us to change? Am I missing something???
I totally agree. But, when someone comes here from another country (to enjoy peace and prosperity) and complains about a Christmas tree at the airport and threatens to sue if it's not removed, they should be sent back to their own home. I would not move to another country and "force" my dis-beliefs on them. This country was founded on "In God We Trust." That's the reason we have enjoyed peace and prosperity. Why do you think country's that don't believe this do not have what we have?
Someone who is offended by Christmas is a good indicator of someone who needs to be converted to Christ. Why should they be negated the opportunity to avoid hell and have a relationship with Christ?
This RamaHanuKwanzMas is a heretical demonic blend of other heresies!!! It must be stoned to death. Then Burnt at the stake! Then shunned!! Muahhahahahahaha!!! So sayeth me!!!
I celebrate christmas, but i dont have a problem with the whole happy holidays thing. cause i dont want to be saying merry christmas to someone, and then have them replying "dude, im jewish"
Most Jews that I've met don't have a problem with being greeted with "Merry Christmas". Just like I don't have a problem with being greeted with "Happy Hanukkah". It doesn't bother me in the least. However, trying to ostracize one holiday name as being politically incorrect but not the others is wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
I think the idea is that people don't want to have their own holidays and cultures marginalized. Nobody's got a problem with you celebrating your thing, but the assumption that they celebrate your thing is what is troublesome. It's not so much that there's anything wrong with Christmas as it is that people want you to be aware that there are other cultures and other ways in the world. So to repeat, nobody is trying to ban Christmas -- people just want their own cultures to be recognized.
well, it works best when one lets the other celebrate their own holidays. the reason why christmas is most advertised and talked about is because it is the most widely practiced in the Americas and Europe which most advertisements are made in.
Yeah, I'd agree with that. Since Christmas is the most widely celebrated of the winter season holidays in the US (and Europe) it gets the most play, but as a result, other peoples' holidays are either marginalized or omitted. On a psychological level, this can suggest to people that they are not a part of society at large, which is what the movement to recognize the variety of holidays is about -- to dismantle eurocentrism so that many perspectives are seen, including, but not limited to Xmas.
I understand what you're saying, but I don't think wishing someone "Merry Christmas" is necessarily assuming that they share your culture. After all, atheists still say things like "Oh my god" and "Jesus Christ", but noone really assumes that they're religious. Bottom line: If someone greets you with something that has a positive meaning and appears to be so, lighten up and accept their culture, don't get offended because they didn't greet you in yours. And if you are offended, that's your issue
I agree with the general statement -- there is nothing inherently offensive about being wished a "Merry Christmas" since the well-wisher is doing just that: wishing you well. I think the issue is that we're talking about a systemic marginalization of subcultures. The issue at hand is that there is a "mainstream" cultural identity in America that ignores or omits the experiences of those outside of that culture, and at times is even threatened by being asked to recognize other experiences.
Imagine a small child from a culture that doesn't celebrate christmas. Growing up, this child is surrounded by all of this christmas celebration, advertising, parties, etc, but doesn't see the customs of her own family represented anywhere outside of the home. What does this child think about their place in society? What is this child learning at a subconscious level? If only there were a Clark doll experiment for something as nuanced as cultural customs.
That would largely depend on WHAT culture the child is from. Let's say he's a palestinian (AKA Syrian) child who is told every day at home that America is evil and must be destroyed, and that he should train himself to wear a vest of explosives and go walk into a McDonalds and blow himself to bits, and that Jews are nothing but apes and pigs.
What would THAT child think of a culture that DOESN'T teach hatred?
What, we're not allowed to say "Merry *unspecified holiday*" without getting the third degree? Now we have to use the generic, "non-offensive" term, "Happy Holidays!" And about the Capitol needing to put up a sign next to their *unspecified holiday* tree saying that is was not a *unspecified holiday* tree, but simply a tree?
That's not going to stop me from wishing anybody a Merry *unspecified holiday*!
This is a great song!! I am so fed up with PC regarding CHRISTMAS. So now, everyone says Happy Holiday - but does anyone realize that Holiday comes from the words Holy and day? Pretty soon we will be forced to wish everyone a Happy Legal Day Off1!
Hold on Glenn honey, next year it will be a Obamamas - although sill held on 12/25 trees will have replicas of Obama's birth home, wherever that is - his non-good looking wife will be the replacement for the Virgin Mary, and his two daughters will sit around the Obamamanger- Sharpton, Farrakan, the racist minister, Jackson, will take the place of the three kings, who will be referred to as the Four Homeboys.
I say let's stopping celebrating Christmas. It will make the economy even worse. SOOOO if the PC people have investments in business, be careful YOU just may get what you want and the consequences will be even worse than you thought. It always backfires on the communities trying this. Tell me what will spur you on to go out and buy more than you need for a Holiday of Lights or a Kwanza, or anything else. I agree corporate heads USED a Federal Holiday making it their own.
Is the season to be materialistic! Let's just cancel all holidays and special interest days and months that way no one can be offended. Everyone can use their vacation days to do celebrate whatever they choose. Merry Christmas!
Is the season to by Jolly (Materialistic)! Let,s please evryone and not have any Holidays!
No special days or months( Veterans day, 4th of July, Black History Month etc.)That way no One can be offended! They can use their vacation days for whatever they choose to celebrate! Not being able to say MERRY CHRISTMAS is a form of stifling freedom of speech.
I am so sad. I'm not supposed to say Merry Christmas at work in case I offend anyone. I don't get offended when someone says happy Hanukkah or Good Kwanzaa! Why should they get offended if I say Merry Christmas? I can't say it a work but everywhere else I go I will be saying it loud and clear so the stupid Lawyers can hear me!!!!!!
LOVED IT!! I'm part of a law suit about just this subject, one of the "jeerers" if you would. But I gotta say, this was HILARIOUS! Makes me laugh at both sides. Very creative and funny!!
Well our situation here in Green Bay is quite a bit different, it started last with a nativity scene atop City Hall (before it was secular displays) to provoke the FFRF after they threatened Peshtigo, WI. Then they invited all to place religious displays. (Bad idea.) Then there was a Wiccan Pentacle displayed, only to get vandalized. Festivus pole proposed, moratorium on all displays leaving only nativity, law suit - dismissed cuz they took scene down, back at it this year.
Our situation is QUITE different than a tree or Santa. We used to be cool with that here in Green Bay. Then - nativity scene to provoke FFRF, then invite for all to participate, wiccan wreath atop city hall, wreath vandalized, festivus pole proposed, moratorium on displays with two people given permission for displays left out, nativity scene all that remains, FFRF law suit, scene taken down, lawsuit dismissed, proposed scene again this year, lawsuit appealed. MESS. Nothing to do with L or R.
Yay, no more PC BS! MERRY CHRISTMAS! Yes, I said CHRISTMAS! What are you going to do about it...don't call the ACLU, I can't handle a lawsuit right now!
Yeah I was able to see him in Salt Lake City. What a show. Any chance any of you have of seeing him in person, TAKE IT!!! I love his views on PC. This man knows what he is talking about. And while i'm here I must say...go get a copy of "An Inconvenient Book." It's Glenn's latest book and it is wonderful! Merry CHRISTMAS everyone!
It amazes me that these conversations go on here! The issue isn't whether Jesus was real or that everyone should be celebrating Christmas instead of other holidays! The issue is if I want to say, "Merry Christmas" I shouldn't be penalized for it because I've "offended" someone who doesn't celebrate it!

And forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't Ramadan in September or October?

What, we're not allowed to say "Merry *unspecified holiday*" without getting the third degree? Now we have to use the generic, "non-offensive" term, "Happy Holidays!" And about the Capitol needing to put up a sign next to their *unspecified holiday* tree saying that is was not a *unspecified holiday* tree, but simply a tree?
That's not going to stop me from wishing anybody a Merry *unspecified holiday*!

This is a great song!! I am so fed up with PC regarding CHRISTMAS. So now, everyone says Happy Holiday - but does anyone realize that Holiday comes from the words Holy and day? Pretty soon we will be forced to wish everyone a Happy Legal Day Off1!

Hold on Glenn honey, next year it will be a Obamamas - although sill held on 12/25 trees will have replicas of Obama's birth home, wherever that is - his non-good looking wife will be the replacement for the Virgin Mary, and his two daughters will sit around the Obamamanger- Sharpton, Farrakan, the racist minister, Jackson, will take the place of the three kings, who will be referred to as the Four Homeboys.

I say let's stopping celebrating Christmas. It will make the economy even worse. SOOOO if the PC people have investments in business, be careful YOU just may get what you want and the consequences will be even worse than you thought. It always backfires on the communities trying this. Tell me what will spur you on to go out and buy more than you need for a Holiday of Lights or a Kwanza, or anything else. I agree corporate heads USED a Federal Holiday making it their own.

Is the season to be materialistic! Let's just cancel all holidays and special interest days and months that way no one can be offended. Everyone can use their vacation days to do celebrate whatever they choose. Merry Christmas!

Is the season to by Jolly (Materialistic)! Let,s please evryone and not have any Holidays!
No special days or months( Veterans day, 4th of July, Black History Month etc.)That way no One can be offended! They can use their vacation days for whatever they choose to celebrate! Not being able to say MERRY CHRISTMAS is a form of stifling freedom of speech.

I am so sad. I'm not supposed to say Merry Christmas at work in case I offend anyone. I don't get offended when someone says happy Hanukkah or Good Kwanzaa! Why should they get offended if I say Merry Christmas? I can't say it a work but everywhere else I go I will be saying it loud and clear so the stupid Lawyers can hear me!!!!!!

Whites that founded America should be HAPPY to continue to discount, belittle, and rape our heritage and traditions in order not to offend non-whites.
And if you don't like it - YOU'RE A RACIST!
I mean, after all, look at all those other nations eager to abandon their culture and heritage to accommodate whites...? (..crickets chirping....)

How does this make you laugh at both sides? All the left is doing is trying to include by excluding. No way to agree with that.

Well our situation here in Green Bay is quite a bit different, it started last with a nativity scene atop City Hall (before it was secular displays) to provoke the FFRF after they threatened Peshtigo, WI. Then they invited all to place religious displays. (Bad idea.) Then there was a Wiccan Pentacle displayed, only to get vandalized. Festivus pole proposed, moratorium on all displays leaving only nativity, law suit - dismissed cuz they took scene down, back at it this year.
flashdzine 3 years ago
Our situation is QUITE different than a tree or Santa. We used to be cool with that here in Green Bay. Then - nativity scene to provoke FFRF, then invite for all to participate, wiccan wreath atop city hall, wreath vandalized, festivus pole proposed, moratorium on displays with two people given permission for displays left out, nativity scene all that remains, FFRF law suit, scene taken down, lawsuit dismissed, proposed scene again this year, lawsuit appealed. MESS. Nothing to do with L or R.
