Stupid Republican, even Stupider Khristian

To quote Fark.com
"Having ended the War on Terror, poverty, and fixed our schools, the House will be voting on a resolution expressing support for "the symbols and traditions of Christmas" today".

WASHINGTON -- Saying Christmas is under attack, Virginia Rep. Jo Ann Davis sought passage Wednesday night of a resolution expressing support for "the symbols and traditions of Christmas."

The largely symbolic resolution, scheduled for a House vote as early as today, triggered a partisan culture clash in the House chamber. Conservative Republicans applauded the measure, but many Democrats criticized it as religiously insensitive.

Davis, an outspoken Christian conservative from Gloucester, said she was spurred to act after seeing news reports of retailers telling their employees to wish customers a "happy holiday," instead of "Merry Christmas," and schools forbidding everything from Christmas plays to Santa Claus.

"Christmas has been declared politically incorrect," Davis told colleagues on the House floor. "Any sign or even mention of Christmas in public can lead to complaints, litigation, protests and threats. America's favorite holiday is being twisted beyond recognition."


I know a certain rep from Virginia that wants to go on Teevee and french kiss Bill O'Reilly...

And if O'Reilly was really down with The Church, he wouldn't be wishing anyone Merry Anything yet. We are still in Advent, this is the end of third week of Advent. This coming week is the fourth week of Advent. The Christmas season starts on CHRISTMAS DAY and lasts until Epiphany - AKA when the three wise men found the Baby Jesus.
