I read in The Daily Curmudgeon and in Think Progress that the morons are on the March again and Fox is in the vanguard as usual. The last time there was really a war against Christianity by a non Christian agency was back in the 4th century of the current era. Of course Christians of various flavors and odors have been killing each other over variations of baseless conjecture for hundreds of centuries.
If there ever was a war on Christmas it was waged by Christian Puritans; fundamentalists different from today’s more degenerate forms by virtue of their literacy if not their propensity to hysteria. They of course knew the pagan origins of Easter and Christmas traditions – the very parts most beloved of Christian Supremacists.
“we have documented a number of cases where Christian holidays like Christmas and Easter have been attacked by secular interests.”
Said Lyin’ Bill O’Reilly, sounding like Joe McCarthy with his blank piece of paper telling us it was full of names of Communists.
We’ve all forgotten about Tailgunner Joe and Bill O’Reilly is the history we are condemned to repeat. Of course it’s totally false. He has no cases, there is no attack save the attack on our liberty by religious nuts for whom freedom and democracy are dirty words. His claims about Christmas were all debunked albeit on the back pages of newspapers Christianidiots don’t read and those of us who do read and do remember can so easily be dismissed as atheists and liberals and French speaking elitists. We just can’t win and we probably won’t.
As Crankyboy points out, it’s not about religious freedom. Religious freedom is the enemy of religious zealots who recognize only one authority. You won’t hear O’Reilly whining about a war on Ramadan, nor will you hear him stand up for anyone’s right to sing the Hari Krishna Mantra in courthouses and airports. When the feds confiscated a human skull from a Miami Voudun Priestess in Miami today and charged her with a felony even though you can buy such things every day on eBay, that is religious persecution. O’Reilly was as silent as the Pope about Auschwitz.
I have only one question – why are we silent? Why don’t we shout him down; flood his mailbox and voicemail and fax machine? Where are the crowds outside his door? Where are the boycotts, the lawsuits? What country is going to come in and overthrow these tyrants for us?

Unfortunately, it is only ratings that count. We need to get people to stop watching that crap. I finally harangued my parents to stop watching Fox News all together a year ago, but now CNN is the false propaganda of choice, as if that's much better.
There siply isn't much in the way of independent news any more and what there is is easily dismissed as being foreign or liberal.
It's all entertainment and the cheapest way to entertain is to feed the blood lust. Worked for Roman Emperors and it works for our corporate Emperors.
O'Reilly pisses me off, so I just don't pay attention to him.
Now since you've brought him up, I'm pissed off again.
I've written the man, with honest, even handed comments, and have never heard boo. Wrote Dubya as well, but didn't hear anything either. Maybe there is a connection. :)
Neither O'Reilly nor his boss [SATAN] wants to have anything to do with the truth. Fox is the equivalent of the Roman Circus and it needs it's victims, guilty or not.
