Annual War on Christmas: Jerks
Charles, Prince of Wales, heir apparent to Great Britain’s Queen
Elizabeth II, the longest-serving heir apparent in British history and the
oldest heir to the throne in 300 years, may never become King of
England in part because he’s a dumb jerk but mainly because his mother, the
future Queen Mum knows it and would rather he be forced to tear the crown off
her cold, dead head than see him installed as Britain’s monarch.
That said, the twit who was once caught confessing to his mistress
Camilla that he thought it would be a “wonderful idea” to serve as her tampon,
does actually say the right thing on occasion.
At a reception for religious leaders at Clarence House last week,
Prince Charles addressed an issue that has been mostly ignored by President
Barack Hussein Obama, namely that Christians are being persecuted for their
religion in the Middle East and North Africa by fundamentalist
Islamists.
Without calling the situation a War on Christians, a corrollary to
the War on Christmas, Bonnie Prince Charlie semi-redeemed himself as a jerk in
the eyes of normal people–if not his mum’s–which is a very good thing since we
have more than enough jerks in those wars.
Here are a selected few:
—In Las Vegas, Ana Berumen reported that an unknown individual or
individuals have been vandalizing her baby Angel Gabriel’s gravesite, most
recently by stealing a little Christmas tree that had been placed next to his
headstone and by destroying a solar light system for the tree
lights.
—ESPN refused the week before to air a commercial for a Catholic
children’s medical center in Missouri because the ad mentioned God and Jesus and
included the offensive words, ”God’s healing,” and “We celebrate the birth of
Jesus!” To its credit, though only in reaction to a massive public outcry, ESPN
quickly reversed its decision banning the Christmas commercial sponsored by St.
Louis’s Cardinal Glennon Children’s Medical Center.
—DailyBeast.com columnist Dean Obeidallah posted a story with the
lead, “They’re terrified America’s tiny number of atheists will change the
meaning of the holiday. But conservatives are the ones who are really at war
with its message.” His peculiar reasoning? Unlike Christ, conservative
Christians obviously don’t give a damn about the poor since they think Obamacare
is an abomination.
—Punk rockers, those virtuosos of virtuosity, good taste, and
decorum, have joined the War on Christmas in the persons of members of Bad
Religion, a band which flaunts atheism in their new album, “Christmas Songs.”
They conclude “American Jesus” by referencing God as “the farmer’s barren
fields, the force the army wields, the expression on the faces of the starving
millions/The power of the man, He’s the fuel that drives the Klan, He’s the
motive and conscience of the murderer/The nuclear bombs, the kids with no moms,
and I’m fearful that he’s inside me.”

—The twisted members of Bad Religion should have no fear of God
being inside of them anymore than the anti-Christmas/anti-Christian warriors at
RJO Intermediate School in Kings Park, New York. . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=34730.)
