Christmas Future?

This Christmas, preserve that blessing by giving them the same gift your parents and grandparents gave you: the gift of Christmas future. By making a contribution to the Republican National Committee, you'll be providing the resources that we need to continue to protect the America you know and love. You'll also be ensuring that your children and grandchildren will be able to give future generations the same Christmas you've given them.

Seriously?

If you fail to give to the GOP this Holiday Season, Christmas will disappear. No, really. Two thousand years* of history and two hundred years of tradition will disappear if YOU (yes, you reading this!) do not donate to the Party of No!

If the Republicans and Michael Steele fail to raise money to fight the secular threat, you and all your progeny will be forced into re-education camps where the Holiday Season becomes about things that are communist plots like education, health care, a safety net for those most at risk, and equality and civil rights.

If you think back to the Nativity Story, Jesus came to redeem the world.

Redeeming the world, according to the GOP, means a lot apparently, but the messages of Jesus; blessed are the poor, loving thy neighbor, and caring for one another; beggar, sinner, tax collector and yes, Centurion, are not among them.

Maybe that is my view as a secularist "weirdo", but...the GOP who are on the front lines against the "War on Christmas" fail to recognize that their particular brand of Christianity has little to nothing to do with the teachings of their Savior.

Awesome, no?

If you want to make a donation this year, especially if you want to make a donation to a Christianist organization, may I make the suggestion that you donate to Habitat for Humanity, because they are actually trying to live the life of a man who was a carpenter and became some people's Savior?

Yeah, your hypocrisy pisses me off. Check it out for yourself at The Gift of Christmas Future.
