Sic transit gloria.
Hell, even Newt Gingrich pops up now and again to remind us of what he isn’t…
But the War on Xmas is back: because, Thanksgiving is over.*
There’s a cease-fire on the battlefields of Gaza. But the War on Christmas is still raging in the parking lots of our nation’s big box retailers.I do wonder who is still shopping in big box stores (the last time I was in one the skeleton crew staff out-numbered customers 10 to 1; well, if you don’t count Costco). But maybe that marks me as an elitist:
Probably the biggest political gap between the highly educated policy class & the less educated public, is on the War on Christmas
That’s because the public has to deal with being told “Happy Holidays” at brick-and-mortar retailers while elites do Christmas shopping onlineStill, political pundits want to know:
Has the War on Christmas become Biden's Vietnam?Guess we’ll have to first decide if there still is one. 🤷🏻♂️
*The non-sarcastic truth is, Newsmax tried to revive it because…Newsmax. They need the views. And some random guy warming up the crowd for Trump a few weeks back. Which probably inspired Newsmax.
And, of course, NYT Pitchbot. Because satire is never seasonal.
How can anyone hope to win when they just keep lying up crap like that? The media is pretty much entirely complicit.
ReplyDeleteReading Brueggemann's An Unsettled God during Advent, since I can't get through his Theology of the Old Testament. I'm planning on buying nothing that I can't help buying, that's my war on American Christmas. I was thinking of reposting some of the Magnificat Advent postings I did seven or eight years back. If the videos are still up. I can't believe I had that much energy so recently.
