It's Official: Charlie Brown is dead.

From the November 28 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:

O'REILLY: What's happened is frightening. A legal assault by the ACLU [American Civil Liberties Union] combined with the media that blatantly promotes secularism has succeeded in convincing some Americans that the words 'Merry Christmas' are inappropriate while celebrating the national holiday of Christmas.

This, of course, is nuts. Anyone offended by the words 'Merry Christmas' has problems not even St. Nicholas could solve.

Every company in America should be on its knees thanking Jesus for being born. Without Christmas, most American businesses would be far less profitable; more than enough reason for businesses to be screaming Merry Christmas.

Jesus may have died for your sins, but he was born in order to enrich corporate America.

And that's... the rest of the story.

ADDENDUM: It occurs to me, there is a Bing Crosby song, "Happy Holidays."

I suppose Clear Channel is going to have to ban that one from the playlists. And any radio station that dares air it, will have to be boycotted.

We cannot let this get out of hand!
