Atheists to Revoke Christmas Holiday

Man the battlestations!!!!! Bill O'Reilly announced last night that Atheists are on the march, and if they aren't stopped, they will revoke Christmas.

Tip o' the hat to ThinkProgress.org for the catch. They have the screen cap of Bill and blonde Fox Newsbot(tm) Gretchen Carlson raising the alarm. They were discussing an atheist display in the Washington State Capitol building, which was placed near a nativity scene. Of course, Mr. Great American Holiday Quiz himself just knows that the next step is to crush the federal holiday.


While we won't go as far as a commenter at TP who says, the imaginary war on Christmas is her favorite part of the holiday. However, it is quite humorous to watch Fox News beat the drum on the false notion of a war on Christmas.

War Posters

Nice title, eh?  We always love a good double entrende here at War Command Central.  Take a look at this poster for the great Christmas War,

  It's part of a collection of War on Chritsmas Propaganda posters.   The original images are actual Propaganda posters from earlier "real" wars (WWII, Korea) that are on file at the Library of Congress.  The collection at about.com takes these classic posters and modifies them to make fun of the War on Christmas.  It's funny to see the these old posters, with their great pulp style, juxtaposed against the silly Christmas War.  You can just imagine these posters plastered in various locations in Bedford Falls or Whoville while our "boys were over there".  Seriously, these harken back to a different time, and show a slightly less jaded America.  Which makes it all the more hilarious to see them in the fight against Christmas.  This has to be James Dobson's nightmare, a truly organized Secular Progressive army, complete with its own Propaganda Posters.

Just a note, the about.com section is in their Atheism forum, and as such, some of the posters stray from the tongue in cheek spirit we have here at Stop the War on Christmas.   While we don't think anyone will be too offended, we're giving you full notice ahead of time.  Also, The posters and the variations are copyrighted,  but we honestly can't find the proper attribution on the about.com site.  So, if anyone can tell us, we'll gladly give full details and proper recognition to the one image we have posted above.

Bill O'Reilly's HOLIDAY quiz

Seems our good friend Bill O'Reilly has a seasonal article in this week's Parade Magazine. You know "Parade", it's the thing that falls out of your Sunday paper, that is only read by people who watch Matlock. It's "Bill O'Reilly's Great American Holiday Quiz"

Well, it seems that the great Defender of Christmas has a quiz on the Holiday(s). This is a play on his weekly pop culture quiz, where each week Steve Douchey (sp?) and some typical Blonde Fox Newsbot answer questions about pop trivia. Of course, one would imagine that since he so tirelessly fights against retailers that say "Happy Holidays", that surely his Quiz would be just about Christmas. Guess again.

As you can see from the image, there's typical secular images (Santa, Rudolph, and a tree), and some Chanukkah cookies, but no Jesus!!!! How could this be?? Bill O'Reilly having a "HOLIDAY" quiz, not a "Christmas Quiz".

Dear Lord, the Secular Progressives have truly won the war.

Oh, by the way, if you enter the quiz, you get a chance to win Bill's book, "A Bold Fresh Piece of ......" Just what you could use to start the fire for roasting chestnuts.

Let Your "Light" Shine For Christ This Christmas Season!

Just look at the wonderful new lawn decoration you can have this Christmas season! Yes, The American Family Association is selling the Original Christmas Cross in their online store. Now you too can decorate your home with a brilliantly lighted, overtly public display of your faith.





Of course, as Andrew Sullivan remarks, imagine the surprise your neighbors might have if you silently slip one of these on their lawn when you play Secret Santa.

No idea if it comes wrapped in a white sheet with a couple of holes for ventilation.

Update on Bill O'Reilly's bumper stickers

You may remember our earlier post about Bill O. selling bumper stickers. We forgot to mention at the time, but Keith Olbermann pointed it out tonight, that the bumper stickers have the fleur de lis on both sides of the text. Now the fleur de lis has symbolic connotations with the Divinity (the three points on the icon), and more specifically with the Virgin Mary and the Annunciation. However, those connections are usually only seen in Renaissance art, and are not part of most American's Christmas imagery.

The fleur de lis, which is French for "lily flower", is a symbol with a strong heritage to French monarchy, primarily the House of Bourbon. It's on the flag of the Italian Province of Florence, and on various versions of the Spanish Flag (and the Spanish Monarchy), and prominently a part of the Quebec provincial flag.

What makes this all the more entertaining, is the long history that Bill O. has in boycotting all things FRENCH. He's been on this other (seemingly as purposeful) crusade since the beginning of the Iraq war. Apparently, France did something then that most Americans now realize was within the rights of the French, and upon 5 years of reflection, was probably smart. That hasn't stopped Mr. O. from encouraging the consumption of Freedom Fries, and other stupidness.

So, Bill, in his quest to prove that he must Save Christmas from the Secular Progressives, once again proves what a hack he is.

Well played, monsieur

The Enemy Within

Oh Noes!!! The war is lost.


News Corp, the owner of Fox News just sent out the invitations to its annual HOLIDAY PARTY.

How could Bill O'Reilly have lost the battle with his own employer.

Here's an image of the invite, as shown on the newshounds.us website:

Apparently this isn't a new thing, as News Corp has called their annual end of year gathering a "holiday party" for many years, at least as far back as 2005. Here's evidence from Supreme Irony and from at least one New York event planner who worked the soiree'.

Wow, I guess Mr. O doesn't even have any pull where he works.

12 Days of the War on Christmas

We admit it, we are addicted to YouTube. We couldn't believe Google paid over $4Billion dollars for it several years ago. Now however, we can't get enough Frozen Time and WoW characters singing "The internet is for Porn"

However, as this blog is about the War on the War on Christmas, we thought we'd link to something relevant. It's the Twelve Days of War on Christmas. The static image is of Condoleeza Rice, but I promise it's the about Christmas (damn YouTube):





There's lots of funny images and commentary, with all of the Usual Suspects protecting Christmas from the herd of Secular Progressives looking to steal your Christmas Tree. Our only complaint is that we didn't come up with it ourselves.

Probably NSFW as it's loud, and will certainly piss off the Sarah Palin supporters in your office who are still suicidal over the election.
