Just call me the Grinch
I don’t hate Christmas. I don’t hate Christians. (Well, not just for being Christian, anyway.) What I hate is asshat politicians pandering to inbred social retard Biblethumpers. (OK, I hate Christians.) Check out this bill:
H. Res. 847: Recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith
RESOLUTION
Recognizing the importance of Christmas and the Christian faith.Whereas Christmas, a holiday of great significance to Americans and many other cultures and nationalities, is celebrated annually by Christians throughout the United States and the world;[...]Whereas Christians identify themselves as those who believe in the salvation from sin offered to them through the sacrifice of their savior, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and who, out of gratitude for the gift of salvation, commit themselves to living their lives in accordance with the teachings of the Holy Bible;
Whereas Christians and Christianity have contributed greatly to the development of western civilization;
Whereas the United States, being founded as a constitutional republic in the traditions of western civilization, finds much in its history that points observers back to its roots in Christianity;
[...]
Whereas for Christians, Christmas is celebrated as a recognition of God’s redemption, mercy, and Grace;
Splendid! This is what we need to show the world that we’re up to snuff on cultural awareness, and that we’re ready to integrate with a global community, welcoming the exchange of beliefs and ideas.
Also, it shows a truly astounding grasp of history, and the resolution contains nothing which would make the Founding Fathers vomit in fits of shaking rage.
This pseudo-legislative über-canvassing turd has already passed through the House, with bipartisan support.
