Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, November 11, 2009

In its annual display of Christmas spirit and goodwill towards men, Liberty Counsel has released this year's Friend or Foe Christmas Campaign "Naughty and Nice List". The list consists of "naughty" businesses that LC says have used the term "holiday" in their advertising instead of "Christmas." Some examples from the list are:


~ Banana Republic Web site: "Banana Republic Holiday 2008," "Most Wanted for the Holiday," "Holiday Gift Guide" and "Holiday 2008 Fashion Show." No mention of "Christmas."


~ Circuit City Web site: winter snow scene on home page and "Beat the Holiday Rush." No mention of "Christmas."


~ Disney Shopping site: "Holiday Shop" but no mention of "Christmas."

Businesses that use the word "Christmas" in their advertising are on the Nice list.

Proud of my company that just sent out thousands of Holiday Sale flyers. Hope we made the Naughty List.

This year we decided to do things from the heart.

Last Christmas we helped at a soup kitchen and we will do the same again. It was a heartwarming and humbling experience

We are making at least one of our gifts to give and we won't be shopping at the normal stores as in the past. Instead, we are supporting the little stores in our community.

And true to tradition...one of our kids is going to get punked! They all wait in anticipation as to who it will be!

take care not to perform righteous deeds in order that people may see them; otherwise you will have no heavenly recompense from your heavenly Father. When you give alms, do not blow a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets to win the praise of others. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that almsgiving may be secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.

Anywho, ever notice that when "christians" seek a carrot/stick to make other people do what they want, MONEY is ALWAYS their primary motivator, always.

You know what other publication never mentions "Christmas"?
The bible.
As noted above, many seem to have already begun an unintentional boycott of most of its teachings, usually the parts that require a little effort on their end.

Dont people give gifts for hanukah and kwanza?

Oh Blu....we don't do anything for recognition or thanks. I was just sharing our plans for Christmas, our desire to shop at little country stores in our are rather than the big money making stores...those who wish to stifle the reason we celebrate.

Sorry if that bothers you and I fail to see your problem with it since it doesn't affect you...unless you work at one of those businesses mentioned on this thread.

Odd that it also bothers you when we choose not to support a business claiming it's all about money when it is actually those businesses that are obviously out to MAKE that money. It's why they are in business to begin with isn't is?? So, when one boycotts where do you strike?? Where it hurts THEM the most...in their wallet!

I can't believe I had to explain that to an adult.

However, continue your Christian bashing.

A day without it must be a day wasted around here.

I hate Christmas. Just another day I can't get anything decent to eat.

I was at a Home Depot Sunday and this checking out LED lights and this guy asked me if I was offended by the word "holiday", because he was. I said probably not as much as the jews who had hannukah stolen from them by the Xians or the pagans who had winter solstice stolen from them by the Xians. Before I got to point out the Xmas tree is really a pagan symbol, he stomped off, apparently really offended.
So it was a pretty good day.

When exactly did Lucifer invent the word Holiday anyway???

Uh huh.
I'm sure you were doing a "price check" for the guy in aisle 6 and didn't say anything of the sort.
STFU.

I didn't say you did. Let me know if you need help baling that straw.

Why you do or don't do something is irrelevant in the context of Matt 6 1-8. It is what happens after you do a good deed that counts. And you, just for the sake of our information of course, make it a point to blow your trumpet on a regular basis.

It doesn't bother me. I'm proud of you. It bothers your angry, vengeful god. It says so right there is the "good book". I can't believe I had to explain that to an....er....adult(?).

Technically I'm not bashing "christians", I'm bashing wanna-bees, because "christians" are hardly like Christ, and I've never met a single one that actually follows his word as written in bible.

When someone exploits someone else's "love of money"--like in a boycott--who is served? "God" or the "Devil"?

Christmas has become a secular holiday for the majority of Americans most of which will make their dutiful church attendance and live and let live unlike the minority who wear their religion on their sleeve Christian posers who hypocritically whine about how pious they are

Circuit city is still around?

Not according to the perpetual christian victims.

Circuit city is still around?


Their name was bought in bankruptcy by an unrelated company and is only used online.

Before I got to point out the Xmas tree is really a pagan symbol, he stomped off, apparently really offended.

There you go reinforcing his Christian Victim Disorder.

.....beating Rush any time of the year would be appropriate.......

I thought Christians were forgiving and understanding.

bye bye cool thought..........

Is this organization, "Liberty Counsel," tax-exempt? And if so, why?

STFU.
