Happy Holidays From The Religious Right

The religious right just loves the holiday season!! What better opportunity than a season of peace to spread their message of intolerance and fear? What better opportunity than the birth of Christ (the New Testament savior, Mr. Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged) to engage in some Old Testament fire and brimstone fun? So put down that turkey baster for a moment because there's work to be done to stop the sinners...

First, James Dobson's Focus On The Family will be protesting homos at the Macy's Thanksgiving parade:

Far-right group to use Macy's parade to spread antigay message

Antigay Colorado group Focus on the Family said Tuesday that its members plan to distribute 5,000 "stress balls" along the parade route to promote a Web site it operates that claims that homosexuality is a disorder that can be cured through faith...

And good news for Bill O'Reilly and his struggling ratings, the fake "war" over Christmas continues! Yes sir, the phrase 'Happy Holidays' is truly an assault on our nation's values (Walmart, you're on notice). Christmas is under attack by secularists who have no respect for the pagan Christian origins of Christmas! I suppose even Santa Claus is an enemy in this war. Luckily for Christmas, we have morally pure warriors like Jerry Falwell and O'Reilly fighting to save it:

Falwell fighting for holy holiday-
He'll sue, boycott groups he sees as muzzling Christmas

Evangelical Christian pastor Jerry Falwell has a message for Americans when it comes to celebrating Christmas this year: You're either with us, or you're against us.

Falwell has put the power of his 24,000-member congregation behind the "Friend or Foe Christmas Campaign," an effort led by the conservative legal organization Liberty Counsel. The group promises to file suit against anyone who spreads what it sees as misinformation about how Christmas can be celebrated in schools and public spaces...

On his show last week, Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly offered a list of other retailers that he says refuse to use "Merry Christmas" in their store advertising....

Ahhh yes, lawsuits. The religious right's answer to coal.
