Have a miserable ACLU-mas

And just when you guys thought ol' Spatula would never bitch-slap a Republican ever again...heh heh heh...

Denizens, go read this.  Come back when you're done - I'll wait.

Okay, done?  Good.

Someone now answer me this:  If this guy's a Christian  president, then pray tell me why the HELL™ he's now the first president in some seventy years not to so much as mention  the Savior in the White House's annual Christmas celebration?

While President Bush was re-elected last month in an election victory many attributed to an outpouring of support by evangelical Christians impressed with his candid outspokenness about his faith, some Americans notice the White House website lacks even a single mention of Jesus, whose birth is celebrated by hundreds of millions worldwide Dec. 25.

The official White House site proclaims this as the "Season of Merriment and Melody" - not the birth of the Savior of the world.

Oh, great honkin' Cthulu, no.  We can't possibly  have the WHOLE REASON FOR THE FREAKIN' HOLIDAY IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!  mentioned, now can we?

"Throughout the world, the holiday season is greeted by joyful music that brightens hearts and evokes wonderful memories," reads the message. "This year's theme brings to the White House the magic of holiday songs that have been favorites for generations of Americans."

Oh, goody.  So I'm sure we'll have rousing renditions of "Silent Night", "O Holy Night", "Joy to the World", "O Little Town of Bethelehem" and the like, won't we?

Guess again, Glen.

The White House residence, the site proclaims is decorated with "delightful vignettes illustrating many of the best-loved songs of the season."

Not one of those songs is a traditional spiritual carol or hymn. Instead, the songs listed include "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," "Here Comes Santa Claus," "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," "All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth," "Upon the Housetop," "Blue Christmas," "Jingle Bells," "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree," White Christmas," "Frosty the Snowman, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Marshmallow World."

In fact, even the word Christmas is only used in song titles and as an adjective - such as before the word tree.

Not even a good, old-fashioned "O Christmas Tree" in the bunch.

Pardon me for asking this, but didn't we just turn thumbs down  on John-Boy F'n Ketchup-Ass?  You know - the Anti-Christian Liberals Union choice for General-Secretary???

Among the website's many photographs of secular decorations is a shot of a creche, or Nativity, displayed in the East Room, but the baby Jesus is virtually invisible.

Wow!  Merry Santa-mas,   everybody!

On Dec. 9, Bush participated in a special menorah lighting ceremony at the White House.

"Hanukkah is a festive holiday that celebrates a great victory for freedom," he said. "We remember the liberation of Jerusalem and a miracle witnessed in the holy Temple 2,000 years ago. For eight days the oil burned, and the light of freedom still burns in Jewish homes and synagogues everywhere. We are honored to celebrate the miracle of Hanukkah in the White House this evening."

Likewise, Bush issued a Hanukkah proclamation Dec. 7.

"I send greetings to all those celebrating Hanukkah, the festival of lights," he said. "On the 25th day of Kislev on the Hebrew calendar, Jews around the world commemorate the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem more than 2,000 years ago. During this time of darkness, the Temple had been seized, and Judaism had been outlawed. Judah Maccabee and his followers fought for three years for their freedom and successfully recaptured Jerusalem and the Temple. Jewish tradition teaches that the Maccabees found only one small bottle of oil to be used for temple rituals, but that oil lasted eight days and nights. The miracle of this enduring light, remembered through the lighting of the Menorah, continues to symbolize the triumph of faith over tyranny."

He continued: "The bravery of the Maccabees has provided inspiration through the ages. We must remain steadfast and courageous as we seek to spread peace and freedom throughout the world. This holiday season, we give thanks to God, and we remember the brave men and women of our Armed Forces and their families. We also pray that all who live under oppression will see their day of freedom and that the light of faith will always shine through the darkness. Laura joins me in wishing you a blessed and Happy Hanukkah."

In 2001, Bush issued a Kwanzaa greeting from the White House, and repeated it in 2002 and 2003.

So Waffleya honors the Jewish holiday and the Ebonic community's holiday, but Maitreya forbid that the actual reason  for the season be honored.  Naw - can't have that.

This is the first of several backhands I'll guarantee you the bastards over at the GOP are planning on giving the Christian community over the next four years.  All because we have a spineless wimp-ass who won't stand up to the liberal shits over at the ACLU, even though he's got the backing of some 80 million evangelicals who'd be happy to kick their asses, were it to come to that.

Merry ACLU-mas, everyone.
