What's with all this PC shite? Happy holidays?
Sometimes liberals piss me off. This "holiday" stunt (ironically holiday is rooted to "Holy Day") is beaurocracy gone mad. It's gotten to a point where Jews are protesting with signs, "JEWS for IT's OKAY TO SAY MERRY CHRISTMAS".
There is a Demo-liberal inquisition it seems of anything related to Christianity. Whether it's some New England worm who's afraid to call a Christmas tree what it is, or that ass in California who's trying to root out the word God from officiality.
Political correctness. Makes me angrier than a viking.

Soon "Happy Holidays" will offend the same type of people who want "In God We Trust" of our coinage.
I cant fathom how some people get offended.
If someone wished me a "Happy Ramadan", by no means would I get offended.....
Pondering Christmas jingles for political correctness is as pointless as having sexual intercourse and not blowing your load.

Why is saying "Happy Holidays" such a liberal, PC thing anyways? If I am a business owner who wants to do something festive in my storefront window, I'd put a banner that says "Happy Holidays" - not Merry Christmas or Happy Kwanzaa or Happy Chanukah or Happy New Year. Saying "Happy Holidays" would save me money and space and include all my customers - it is an easy, catch-all saying.
I follow the same logic when I purchase seasonal greeting cards. And I say "Happy Holidays" to strangers because I dont know what faith they hold.

Bio knows what's up. Retailers and people who provide goods/services to the general public use it so they don't offend any potential customers, which could lose them money. I really wish people would stop bitching about it. The holidays suck and we all know it. It's high stress, high spending, high bitching season. It will all be over in a few weeks so just grin and bare it.

This is just a stunt cooked up by Fox news and Bill Oreily to get people "riled up" enough to contribute to the corrupt Republican party. Judging by the underwhelming response so far, evidently even most republicans see through it.
