I’m as ready as the next guy to jump on folks who blatantly try to remove Christmas from our culture and try to substitute some PC “winter holiday” nonsense. But let’s get real about it, can we? In my strolling around the neighborhood this morning, I found a blog beating up on Mrs Fields Cookies for “banning Christmas”. That’s interesting. So I followed the link to the American Family Association’s “Project Christmas” fund raiser page.
It’s hard to believe this kind of religious intolerance can happen in America in 2007.
Mrs. Fields, the maker of those good cookies, has banned any use of the word “Christmas” from their products and Christmas promotions.
BALONEY! I hate to see this bogus “Action Alert” fundraiser nonsense, whether it is John Edwards capitalizing on the Ann Coulter dust-up, or Harry Reid and the DNC capitalizing on the Rush Limbaugh “phoney soldiers” comments. But I hate it even more when the same kind of BS comes from right side blogs and Christian ministries. For crying out loud people, get a life! Complain about real offenses, don’t go making them up… you only succeed in making yourself look stupid, and diminishing the value of your message. There is also an email spreading around, as these things often do… don’t be fooled.
I’ve got half a mind to send Don Wildmon a gift box of Christmas cookies from Mrs Fields. Which one do you think he’d like?
