The big issue this week from the Right-wing media is the removal of nine Christmas trees from the Seattle airport. Just like the evil little penguins the week before, they were successful in getting the mainstream media to pick it up with videos of the actual dismantling and flashes of the evil Rabbi who instigated it all with his request asking that a Menorah also be presented.
You think the people in Seattle care if there is a Menorah in their airport? Of course not. And the Rabbi only asked. But the Seattle port authority legal team rightly found that it meant not only could a Menorah go up, but also Vishnu on an elephant, Buddha under an unChristmas tree, and above all, it would allow a representation of Islam declaring Allah is Great.
Holy Shit! Imagine that! They would have to call back the 101st Airborne from Iraq just to guard it from being defaced, burned, and bombed by the followers of Jesus Christ.
You remember Jesus Christ? The Prince of Peace and Lord of Love? I can’t recall that version of Christ in our culture any longer either. He has somehow become the God of tax breaks for the wealthy, supply side economics, destruction of social programs for the least of us, hater of gays, birth control, sex education, abortion, liberals, an advocate of executions, war, torture and of course, a life member in the NRA. Our American Talibanies have so corrupted Christ and Christianity that I would guess sooner or later some brave soul will have the balls to express it by putting his image a jar of pee. And then we could put that in every airport all year round.
It WAS nice to see someone, anyone..in
Seattle worked up enough over something
to take action. It was mere moments
before employees - fired up with
rightous indignation started decking
the halls with miniature trees.
Too bad the POINT of it all zoomed
right over their heads! I've seen no
evidence that a Menorah has gone up
anywhere, now that it's been decided
that the BIG trees should go back up,
and that the Rabbi can place a
Menorah there if he wishes.
Here in H-town they need to put the "H" back in XMAS.
In my part of the city, all you see this time of year is Jesus Cristo on signs.
Christ, what happened to the damn "H" anyway? Not Cristo, H-H-H !!
If it takes a City Council resolution to put the "H" back in Christ in Texas, then so be it.
Jesus Cristo this, Jesus Cristo that. Whatever happened to a good European name like Santa Claus?
And even that first part of the name is screwed up sounding like "Hey Zeus!" ... have we gone back 2000 years?
Let the "X" stay in X-MAS but insist on keeping the "H" where it has always been.
Jesus H Christ!

That's all I gotta say.
