Well, at least one segment is just coming out and saying it, just like Henry Ford did back in the 1920s: the War on Christmas is a plot of the Jews. And the ACLU, of course. But, says the article, the ACLU is run by Jews. So there you are. Personally, I'm almost kind of relieved that it's not me for a change. Go fig!

Some of this has been close to the surface in other bits and pieces floating around the net and cable - and yeah, I could pull out some real ugly juicy bits, but those are freaks and I don't play that game, I mean close to the surface in places I normally monitor. But this is certainly the first time I've seen anybody come right out and say it. Basically, they found a Jewish writer who doesn't like Jews in America very much, so he's got "in-group immunity," kind of like Ann Coulter, a woman who, as far as I can tell, really hates women, has "in-group immunity" as well.

Anyway, here's the start of the article; the URL points you to the rest.

The Jewish Grinch who stole Christmas

I never thought I’d live to see the day that Christmas would become a dirty word. You think it hasn’t? Then why is it that people are being prevented from saying it in polite society for fear that it will offend?

Schools are being forced to replace “Christmas vacation” with “winter break” in their printed schedules. At Macy’s, the word is verboten even though they’ve made untold millions of dollars from their sympathetic portrayal in the Christmas classic, “Miracle on 34th Street.” Carols, even instrumental versions, are banned in certain places. A major postal delivery service has not only made their drivers doff their Santa caps, but ordered them not to decorate their trucks with Christmas wreaths.

How is it, one well might ask, that in a Christian nation this is happening? And in case you find that designation objectionable, would you deny that India is a Hindu country, that Pakistan is Muslim, that Poland is Catholic? That doesn’t mean those nations are theocracies. But when the overwhelming majority of a country’s population is of one religion, and roughly 90% of Americans happen to be one sort of Christian or another, only a damn fool would deny the obvious.

Although it seems a long time ago, it really wasn’t, that people who came here from other places made every attempt to fit in. Assimilation wasn’t a threat to anyone; it was what the Statue of Liberty represented. E pluribus unum, one out of many, was our motto. The world’s melting pot was our nickname. It didn’t mean that any group of people had to check their customs, culture or cuisine, at the door. It did mean that they, and especially their children, learned English, and that they learned to live and let live.

That has changed, you may have noticed. And I blame my fellow Jews. When it comes to pushing the multicultural, anti-Christian, agenda, you find Jewish judges, Jewish journalists, and the ACLU, at the forefront.

Nice touch in there that he doesn't call poland a christian nation, but a 'catholic' one. because, you know, catholics aren't christians.

"Waaaah, we're 90% of the country and the entire culture is geared towards our beliefs and way of life, but the other people want to be included so now we feel left out waaaah."

man, fuck you. Get back to me about how terrible it is for christians when they start getting used as scapegoats for thousands of mythical child abuse / murder cases.

OH wait, they are. Except they aren't scapegoats, they're FUCKING CHILDREN.

And there's no fucking way that they're 90%, either.

I have already posted this once but it can't be stated often enough that this is not the first time Christmas has come under attack. Last time it was much more direct.
What is less obvious, though, is that Christmas's self-proclaimed defenders are rewriting history. They claim that the "traditional" American Christmas is under attack. But America has a complicated history with Christmas, going back to the Puritans, who despised it. What the boycotters are doing is not defending America's Christmas traditions, but creating a new version of the holiday that fits a political agenda.

The Puritans considered Christmas un-Christian, and hoped to keep it out of America. They could not find Dec. 25 in the Bible and insisted that the date derived from Saturnalia, the Roman heathens' wintertime celebration."
