Christian nutball website condemns retailers for using the word “holiday” instead of “Merry Christmas” in true Bill O’Reilly nutball fashion

A closer look reveals they are in on the conspiracy as well. They use the word “holiday” too!

It appears that Bill O’ Reilly isn’t the only nut out there who is absolutely certain there is a grand conspiracy to kill Christmas. A website created by an organization called Focus on the Family Action [a branch of James Dobson’s Focus on the Family] called standforchristmas.com has taken a stand against "evil" liberals in America.

These liberals are part of a clandestine operation to infiltrate national retail stores, posing as CEO’s, managers and even regular employees. Their plan is to eliminate Christmas once and for all by using a single word to subliminally control the minds of millions and millions of retail shoppers in order to divert their attention away from Jesus Christ.

That word? “Holiday”

The purpose of the website is to provide a list of national retailers and allow visitors of the site to offer feedback as to which retailers are Christmas ‘friendly’, ‘negligent’ or ‘offensive’.

Here are some examples of the feedback left under certain stores:

Comment: ...Christmas is a Christian holiday - one where first of all we celebrate Christ's birthday and secondly we come to spend our hard earned money in gift giving. ...Rethink this blessed holiday and get on aboard with correct advertising.

Comment: I've been watching their 2009 TV ads about gift shopping and so far all I've seen or heard was "Holiday" this and "Holiday" that. No mention of Christmas or printed word of it. Remember, there would be no "Holiday" if it weren't for the birth of Christ, ergo "Christmas", therefore Christmas shopping, gifts, trees, cards, etc.

What is interesting about the above K-Mart comment is the fact that in reality, there is ZERO evidence that December 25 is the birth of Christ. In fact, December 25 is actually the pagan celebration of the unconquered sun [sol invictus] at the winter solstice. Get it? "Unconquered sun"/unconquered Son......Jesus was the unconquered Son.

According to absoluteastronomy.com, “The Romans held a festival on December 25 of Dies Natalis Solis Invicti, "the birthday of the unconquered sun." December 25 was the date after the winter solstice with the first detectable lengthening of daylight hours.” So, you see, December 25 was a pagan celebration that had nothing to do with the birth of Jesus and everything to do with astrology.

Absoluteastronomy.com also states, “The date for Christmas may also bear a relation to the sun worship. According to the scholiast on the Syriac bishop Jacob Bar-Salibi, writing in the twelfth century":

"It was a custom of the Pagans to celebrate on the same 25 December the birthday of the Sun, at which they kindled lights in token of festivity. In these solemnities and revelries the Christians also took part. Accordingly when the doctors of the Church perceived that the Christians had a leaning to this festival, they took counsel and resolved that the true Nativity should be solemnised on that day." (cited in Christianity and Paganism in the Fourth to Eighth Centuries, Ramsay MacMullen .Yale: 1997, p. 155)

The first recorded use of the word "Christmas" was in 1038 when a book from Saxon England used the words "Cristes Maesse" in it. So, what did Christians call Jesus’ birthday from 33 AD until 1038 AD?

The most astonishing thing about these "war on Christmas" lunatics is that they spend all of their time and energy being angry about the fact that they believe the word "Christmas" is being purged from society, but they care nothing about the facts about the origins of Christmas; that it is celebrated on December 25 because Christian leaders in the 4th century wanted to convert large numbers of pagans to Christianity and in order to do so, promised the pagans they could still celebrate their pagan ritual [Saturnalia] as Christians on December 25.

Saturnalia, according to the website simpletoremember.com is described as follows:

"Roman pagans first introduced the holiday of Saturnalia, a week long period of lawlessness celebrated between December 17-25. During this period, Roman courts were closed, and Roman law dictated that no one could be punished for damaging property or injuring people during the weeklong celebration. The festival began when Roman authorities chose “an enemy of the Roman people” to represent the “Lord of Misrule.” Each Roman community selected a victim whom they forced to indulge in food and other physical pleasures throughout the week. At the festival’s conclusion, December 25th, Roman authorities believed they were destroying the forces of darkness by brutally murdering this innocent man or woman."

Why aren't the nutballs from Focus on the Family more outraged that the celebration of Christmas on December 25 evolved from a week-long pagan festival of lawlessness, orgies, vandalism, drunkeness and murder?

Not only are people like Bill O’ Reilly and the buffoons from standforchristmas.com embarrassing themselves for vilifying people for choosing not to say “Christmas” when there’s no proof whatsoever that Jesus was born on December 25, but standforchristmas.com and the Focus on the Family websites use the word “holiday” as well!

The following paragraphs are taken from the standforchristmas.com website:

"We soon discovered that citizens across the nation were growing dissatisfied with the tendency of corporations to omit references to "Christmas" from holiday promotions. Many said they preferred to patronize retailers that recognized the reason so many Americans exchange gifts at Christmastime."

"Millions upon millions in our nation deeply value the great truths of Christmas and the holiday's inspiring place in American life and culture. We hope you will take a moment to "Stand for Christmas" by sharing feedback about your Christmas shopping experiences."

"this time-honored holiday, Focus on the Family and Focus on the Family Action began to speak out on the issue in 2007."

The following stories are found on the Focus on the Family website:

"Celebrating the Holidays"

"Holidays and the in-laws"

"Creating Memories and Managing Holidays"

"Mandie and the Holiday Surprise"

I guess it’s perfectly OK for Christians to use the word “holiday”, but when others use the word, they are devil-worshipping, liberal heathens that are trying to destroy America’s traditions.

On the contrary, it’s religious nutballs like the people at Focus on the Family who are hell bent on destroying this country with their imaginary conspiracies and their total lack of knowledge of basic history. To top it all off, they further embarrass themselves for using the same word [“holiday”] in which they condemn others for!

Hell, Christians do not even have to pick up a book and read the history behind the date for Jesus’ birthday. They could watch “Zeitgeist” or even “Angels and Demons”. Tom Hanks’ character, Robert Langdon, mentions briefly that December 25 was the pagan celebration of the unconquered sun.

watch the clip


Or, they could even get the truth from a cartoon, The Boondocks


Oh, that’s right, I forgot, “Zeitgeist” and Dan Brown’s books are of the devil…..my bad. Cartoons....evil too!

He’s baaaaaaaaack. “War on Christmas” 2009: Billo sends out the Santa and candy cane police

Billo and his stalker/needledick/producer vilify a Massachusetts elementary school for excluding meaningless Christmas symbols, and calls their behavior “crazy”

by Larry Simons
December 5, 2009

Ask yourself: What’s more crazy, eliminating two Christmas symbols [one of which it’s origin has nothing to do with Christmas, and the other is a deceptive, silly fairy tale in which it’s purpose is to deliberately mislead children into believing in something that is knowingly false] from a Christmas gift room, or to call the ones eliminating the symbols “crazy”?

I bet you will never guess which side Billo and his pussboy/stalker/producer Jesse Watters is on! On Friday’s The O’ Reilly Factor, Billo continues his asinine and imaginary “war on Christmas” bullshit for the 6th straight year.

This time Billo condemns a Massachusetts elementary school principal for [are you ready for the big sin?] banning Christmas symbols from a holiday gift room inside the school. I guess this marks the official start of “War on Christmas: 2009”.

watch the clip…if you must


Billo begins the segment by saying, “There hasn’t been as much Christmas craziness this year as in the past few years, thank God”. Translation: Instead of the two or three isolated incidents in the past few years of people refusing to say “Merry Christmas”, which they have the right to refuse in the first place, there’s only this single incident, which is pretty fucking petty and not even a story, but it’s all we could muster.

Well, Billo didn’t like the fact that principal Dr. Jane Gilmore of the Byam Elementary School in Chelmsford, Massachusetts decided to not include Christmas symbols like Santa Claus and candy canes in the schools holiday gift room, so he sent King of the Dicks to handle this crisis: Jesse “the stalker” Watters.

Watters, who most likely sat in his car outside of Chelmsford School Committee Chair Angelo Taranto’s home all night and waited for him to drive somewhere so he could get in Taranto’s face the minute he stepped from his car, approached Taranto and said this:

“Why are you trying to ruin Christmas for the children?….Angelo, you’re banning candy canes from the holiday sale. Don’t you think that’s crazy?” Actually, what’s crazy is the fact that FOX News paid to send this dickfaced dweeb to Massachusetts and stalk this man to ask him ridiculous questions about a ridiculous incident that wouldn’t even pass for a legitimate story on the fucking Cartoon Network.

It turns out that Watters also stalked Chelmsford Schools Superintendent Donald Yeoman, so Yeoman drove to the Chelmsford Police station most likely to get away from the strange car that was following him and no doubt sitting in front of his house for hours. Watters then says, “We’ve been trying to get some comment here from the superintendent about why he’s banning Santa Claus and candy canes from the annual holiday gift shop. Apparently he’s scared, doesn’t want to talk to us so he’s driven into the police station, eh…I think we’re very intimidating.”

Intimidating? Watters couldn’t be less intimidating if he was walking around in a Barney the Dinosaur costume, and this dickhead actually believes people walk away from him because they are afraid? Yeah, they’re afraid all right. They’re afraid that if they don’t walk away from Watters, they might end up knocking all of his teeth out and then getting arrested for assault.

Billo then shows a clip from a school committee meeting in Chelmsford where parents attended and spoke out either for or against the schools actions. Naturally, what we will never know is just how many people actually did support the schools decision and how many was really against it.

Watters tells Billo that it was roughly 75/25 in opposition to the schools actions, but in reality, if it was 75/25 in favor of the school or even 85/15 in favor, would Billo tell his zombies this, or show most or every clip from the ones in favor? Hell no, he wouldn’t! Fair and balanced my big white asshole!


Jesse Watters, stalker and all around dick

The most astonishing thing about this entire NON-story, is the fact that the very symbols that Billo and Watters mention really are not associated with religion in and of themselves. The candy cane has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas. It had already been around in straight stick form for many years before the canes were made in hook form and used for Christmas trees.

The product existed long before it was used for religious symbolism and Christmas. To associate them with Christmas is as ridiculous as associating a pile of shit with Christmas if some guy in Michigan takes a shit near his Christmas tree one year and it suddenly catches on and becomes Christmas tradition.

Although the fictional Santa Claus character has religious origins, the whole concept of Santa [especially in modern day society] is frowned upon by the religious community for several reasons. Santa is often seen as a distraction from the real meaning of Christmas and he is often associated with the overwhelming commercialization of the holiday season.

Wikipedia says, “….the Claus tradition is a good example of how children can learn that they may be deliberately misled by their elders; this will help teach them to be cautious about accepting any other superstition or unsubstantiated belief”. “Any other superstition or unsubstantiated belief”, hmmmm….like religion itself perhaps? Interesting.

The bottom line here is there is no “war on Christmas” [except in Billo’s head]. There never has been and there’s not one now. Do people out there oppose saying “Merry Christmas?” Yes! They do, many do, but that has nothing to do with some grand conspiracy to end the Christmas holiday as we know it. That will never, ever, ever happen. Christmas is as unmovable from our society as the NFL. It’s here to stay.

Does Billo really believe that the fringe number of secularists in this country outnumber the religious people of all faiths who celebrate Christmas for its true meaning, and even the millions who consider themselves non-religious who still celebrate Christmas because of the spirit of the holiday?

Billo’s entire motivation behind creating these ridiculous and phony stories is to get his mindless clones [he calls ‘viewers’] to think that evil liberals are taking over the country. What better way to get his sheep to fall for this bullshit than to convince them that the evil, religion-hating liberals are attacking and attempting to destroy one of America’s most treasured institutions!

This ridiculous story illustrates one thing and one thing only: that the pickens are slim this Christmas season. Maybe Billo’s next story can be why the FOX News website calls their shopping guide the “HOLIDAY shopping guide”. They must hate Christmas! Are they a part of the conspiracy to end it??

The Life and Times of ObamaBush: More War You Can Believe In

The Peace Prize Winner increases the troop presence in Afghanistan, where barely NO al Qaeda remain. Michael Moore and Russ Feingold speak out

by Larry Simons
December 4, 2009

By now, if you haven’t heard that Obama has increased the troop levels in Afghanistan by 30,000, you must be living in the same imaginary cave as the deceased Osama bin Laden.

In true Bush-like fashion, the Nobel “Peace” Prize winner said this on Tuesday:

“...it's important to recall why America and our allies were compelled to fight a war in Afghanistan in the first place. We did not ask for this fight. On September 11, 2001, 19 men hijacked four airplanes and used them to murder nearly 3,000 people. They struck at our military and economic nerve centers. They took the lives of innocent men, women, and children without regard to their faith or race or station. Were it not for the heroic actions of passengers onboard one of those flights, they could have also struck at one of the great symbols of our democracy in Washington, and killed many more.”

Ah yes, what would a military plan be without neocon references to 9/11? If the above excerpt sounds frighteningly familiar, it is because it has been said before.

“What we have found in Afghanistan confirms that, far from ending there, our war against terror is only beginning. Most of the 19 men who hijacked planes on September the 11th were trained in Afghanistan's camps. And so were tens of thousands of others. Thousands of dangerous killers, schooled in the methods of murder, often supported by outlaw regimes, are now spread throughout the world like ticking time bombs, set to go off without warning.”
[George W. Bush, State of the Union Address, January 29, 2002]

Naturally, Obama fails [as Bush did] to mention why we didn’t just go after those responsible like we did when the World Trade Center was bombed in 1993, rather than invade entire countries.

Obviously, the 19 hijackers would be hard to convict since they evaporated on 9/11, but we could be arresting and trying in court members of al Qaeda and bin Laden himself, but even to this day bin Laden has not even been indicted for 9/11, let alone blamed for it. As I speak, bin Laden’s FBI profile still does not mention 9/11 as one of his crimes.

Obama also fails to mention that 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis, hence nullifying the Bush-like attempts to connect Afghanistan to September 11. But what does it matter really? Just as the Bush supporters ignored things like the Constitution, common sense and logic when it came to accepting his military policies, it appears that the Obama camp is following suit just swimmingly.

Already, liberal bloggers who once basked in Obama’s “let’s end these wars” campaign speeches have now, out of utter panic, sold their souls and consciences [if they ever had either to begin with] to the devil. Their only two choices were to admit their guy is just like Bush, or to play dumb and attempt to convince people that when Obama said in his pre-election speeches that he wanted to “finish the fight in Afghanistan”, that really meant to send additional troops there, not just transfer troops from Iraq to Afghanistan since Obama was against the war in Iraq.

Liberal bloggers are going a step further. Now they are attempting to accuse those Democrats who took Obama’s pre-election words literally [as they should have] of "misquoting" Obama. Crooks and Liars writer John Perr accused Michael Moore of “rewriting history” because the filmmaker wrote this in an open letter to Obama on his blog:

“Do you really want to be the new "war president"? If you go to West Point tomorrow night (Tuesday, 8pm) and announce that you are increasing, rather than withdrawing, the troops in Afghanistan, you are the new war president. Pure and simple. And with that you will do the worst possible thing you could do -- destroy the hopes and dreams so many millions have placed in you. With just one speech tomorrow night you will turn a multitude of young people who were the backbone of your campaign into disillusioned cynics. You will teach them what they've always heard is true -- that all politicians are alike. I simply can't believe you're about to do what they say you are going to do. Please say it isn't so.”

Perr argues that Obama has always stated that he wanted to focus on Afghanistan, and he’s right. But in nearly every single speech, debate or interview in which Obama said our troops should be in Afghanistan, it was within the context of him being against the troops in Iraq, implying that Obama just wanted a troop transfer [from Iraq to Afghanistan].….not 30, 000 additional troops.

It is interesting that Perr did not include this excerpt from Moore’s letter:

“It is not your job to do what the generals tell you to do. We are a civilian-run government. WE tell the Joint Chiefs what to do, not the other way around. That's the way General Washington insisted it must be. That's what President Truman told General MacArthur when MacArthur wanted to invade China. "You're fired!," said Truman, and that was that. And you should have fired Gen. McChrystal when he went to the press to preempt you, telling the press what YOU had to do. Let me be blunt: We love our kids in the armed services, but we f*#&in' hate these generals, from Westmoreland in Vietnam to, yes, even Colin Powell for lying to the UN with his made-up drawings of WMD (he has since sought redemption).”

How dare Moore say that we are a civilian-run government! How dare Moore tell Obama that he should listen to the PEOPLE, not generals, Republicans, his family, his eighth cousin Dick Cheney, Jack Bauer, or whoever the hell else he deems more important that the American people.

Why would Perr leave this out? Because he wants his readers to believe that Obama HAD to listen to generals or his staff…..anyone but the majority of Americans who want both wars over.

Just the other day, Democratic Senator Russ Feingold said the additional 30,000 troop increase “makes no sense”. Talking to CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Feingold said this:

“Well, it just doesn't add up for me. The president says, we're doing this. We're adding 30,000, 35,000 troops to finish the job. And I ask the question, "What job?" because the president has been so eloquent in pointing out our issue is fighting al Qaeda. The argument falls apart when you realize that al Qaeda does not have its headquarters in Afghanistan anymore. It is headquartered in Pakistan. It is active in Somalia, and Yemen, North Africa, affiliates of it in Southeast Asia.”

Feingold added:

“Why does it make sense to have a huge ground presence in Afghanistan to deal with a small al Qaeda contingent, when we don't do that in so many other countries where we're actually having some success without invading the country and attacking those that are part of al Qaeda? It doesn't make sense.”

It makes perfect sense to the people who hold one man [in this case, Obama] and their party in higher esteem than they do their own country or the Constitution.

In February, Obama sent 17,000 additional troops to Afghanistan and now, starting in 2010, 30,000 more will go, totaling 47,000. 47,000 people to fight just a little over 100 al Qaeda….simply amazing. Why would a Nobel Peace Prize winner actually remove troops and end meaningless, endless wars?

If this troop increase does not make it crystal clear that the position of the President has become nothing more than to be a figurehead who holds no real power, then nothing really does. The bankers and corporations are the real people in power and politicians in general are just symbolic puppets who are put in place to give the appearance that the voices of the American people are actually heard.

Eric Woolfson: 1945-2009

December 3, 2009

Many may not know his name, but they sure knew his deep, haunting voice as the lead singer of the Alan Parsons Project from 1976-1987. Eric Woolfson, died of cancer Wednesday, December 2 in London. He was 64.

Woolfson was the voice behind the Alan Parsons Project’s biggest hits, including “Time”, “Don’t Answer Me” and the group’s highest charting single, “Eye In the Sky”.

Wollfson had just released an album this April, “The Alan Parsons Project That Never Was", comprised of unreleased songs during the Alan Parsons Project years.

His voice will surely be missed and will be remembered as one of the most distinctive in music history


Woolfson (left) and Alan Parsons in their heyday

Here are a list of my all time favorite Alan Parsons Project songs with Woolfson on lead vocals:

“Time”
“Don’t Answer Me”
“Eye In the Sky”
“Prime Time”
“Separate Lives”
“Sooner or Later”
“The Same Old Sun”

“Don’t Answer Me”, unquestionably the APP’s most popular video


Here is a rare video of Woolfson singing “Freudiana” from his 1990 solo album

Sarah Palin tells Billo that she has the common sense of most Americans. I think she may actually be correct this time!

That’s because most Americans are complete dumbfucks

by Larry Simons
November 29, 2009

From Bill O’ Reilly’s November 20 interview on The O’ Reilly Factor, Billo asks Sarah Palin if she is intelligent enough to handle being the President of the United States. Palin responds by saying that maybe Americans are not looking for candidates who have experience and education but rather common sense instead.

Here’s a portion of the transcript:

O’REILLY: Let me be very bold and fresh again. Do you believe that you are smart enough, incisive enough, intellectual enough to handle the most powerful job in the world?

PALIN: I believe that I am because I have common sense, and I have, I believe, the values that are reflective of so many other American values. And I believe that what Americans are seeking is not the elitism, the the kind of spineless… a spinelessness that perhaps is made up for that with some kind of elite Ivy League education and a fat resume that’s based on anything but hard work and private sector, free enterprise principles. Americans could be seeking something like that in positive change in their leadership. I’m not saying that has to be me.

Here’s the clip [around the 7:45 mark]


Palin tells O’ Reilly that she’s qualified because she has the “values that are reflective of so many other Americans”, whatever the hell that means. If that means that most Americans are complete and utter dumbasses who do not even know what the Vice President’s only two jobs are [as Palin herself did not know in July 2008 and STILL didn’t know in August 2008 after the story had been headline news---and STILL didn’t know in October 2008 during the VP debate!], then she is exactly right. After all, are we forgetting so quickly what the common sense of most Americans got us the past 8 years?



‘Nuff said

Audit the Fed: Bernanke and the Bankers Are Running Scared

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com
November 29, 2009

Ben Bernanke, Federal Reserve mob boss, is running scared. He is deathly afraid an audit of his criminal organization.

“These measures are very much out of step with the global consensus on the appropriate role of central banks, and they would seriously impair the prospects for economic and financial stability in the United States,” Bernanke wrote in the CIA’s favorite newspaper, The Washington Post.

Maybe Bernanke is worried he will be obliged to wear an orange jumpsuit in the wake of an audit.

Bernanke penned his tribute to central banking and globalism prior to his scheduled testimony before a Senate panel on his renomination to serve a second four-year term as Fed mob boss.

Bankster tool Barney Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, tried to derail an effort to audit the Fed but failed. A proposal to audit the Fed’s monetary policy deliberations won a committee vote recently over Frank’s objections.

In his Mockingbird media editorial, Bernanke “conceded the Fed had missed some of the riskiest behavior in the lead up to the crisis. But he said the Fed had helped avoid an even more damaging economic meltdown and has stepped up its policing of the financial system.”

In fact, the Fed was specifically designed to create financial crises. It was all plotted in 1910 when minions of J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, the Rothschilds and Warburgs met on Jekyll Island off the coast of Georgia. In 1913, the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank was created as a direct result of that secret meeting. Said Congressman Charles Lindbergh on the midnight passage of the Federal Reserve Act: “From now on, depressions will be scientifically created.”

In order to scientifically create an economic depression, the Fed prompted irresponsible speculation by expanding the money supply sixty-two percent between 1923 and 1929. The so-called Great Depression followed. This depression “was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence,” declared Congressman Louis McFadden, Chairman of the House Banking Committee. “The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so that they might emerge as rulers of us all.”

In March of 1929, Paul Warburg issued a tip that the scientifically created crash was coming. Before it did, John D. Rockefeller, Bernard Baruch, Joseph P. Kennedy, and other banksters got out of the market.

A few years later, the banksters and their minions met in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, and plotted the creation of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The purpose of these two criminal organizations was to set-up a global Federal Reserve system and wage economic warfare on billions of people. The weapon they used was debt and the loss of sovereignty that follows.

In 1971, then president Nixon fit one of the last pieces into the puzzle — he signed an executive order declaring that the United States no longer had to redeem its paper dollars for gold. It was a great day for the banksters and the global elite. The gold standard ensured predictability and regularity in the economy and the banksters wanted to put an end to that. For the bankers, order and control is realized out of chaos and misery.

Fast-forward to the present day. Bernanke’s Fed has meticulously sabotaged the economy in order to create a crisis in classic Hegelian fashion. The corporate media tells us the crisis is the result of ineptitude and mismanagement at the Federal Reserve. Au contraire. Like the Great Depression, the even Greater Depression now on the horizon was scientifically created.

The Fed is the primary instrument the bankers are now using to destroy the middle class, hand over all public assets and resources to them, implement a crushing austerity, usher in a new era of global corporatist feudalism and build a sprawling planet-wide slave plantation based on China’s totalitarian model.

It is the ultimate dream of the banking cartel. It will be used as the foundation to build world government. Destroying the dollar as the world’s reserve currency is only the beginning.

Bernanke knows Ron Paul and the audit the Fed movement are extremely dangerous. That’s why he is pushing this facile “oops” theory. In order to fix things, the Fed will use its “knowledge of complex financial institutions” in order to supervise them, he writes in his Mockingbird editorial. Allowing audits of Federal Reserve monetary policy would increase the perceived influence of Congress on interest rate decisions, he says.

No, it would lay bare the criminality of the Federal Reserve. Maybe Bernanke is worried he will be obliged to wear an orange jumpsuit in the wake of an audit.

As for Congress, Bernanke needs to read Article 1, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution. Congress shall have exclusive power to “coin Money, regulate the Value thereof,” not a criminal cartel of monopoly men who dream of a prison planet.
