Aw, is it already that time of year when all the poor wittle RWNJ's start pretending to be ''victims'' (again)?!

Get a life. And meanwhile I'll be putting up my Festivus tree...!

Heck! Even the Christian god is against American tradition of Christmas trees!

Jeremiah 10:1-25
English Standard Version (ESV)
Idols and the Living God

Quote:
10 Hear the word that the Lord speaks to you, O house of Israel. 2 Thus says the Lord:

“Learn not the way of the nations,
nor be dismayed at the signs of the heavens
because the nations are dismayed at them,
3 for the customs of the peoples are vanity.[a]
A tree from the forest is cut down
and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.
4 They decorate it with silver and gold;
they fasten it with hammer and nails
so that it cannot move.

Seems to me that Bill O was the one who lost it, no surprise there because he has been losing it a lot since the election...

OP, you do realize that the Christmas tree predates European Christianity? It's been around for thousands of years, used by the Germanic and Celtic tribes of central Europe. The Christmas tree has nothing to do with Christianity, it is a pagan symbol that we keep around as a tradition. Jesus also was not born on December 25, Constantine arbitrarily decided to tie Winter Solstice with Jesus' supposed birthday in order to make Christianity more welcoming to the then pagan worshippers plus the fact that no one really knows when Jesus was actually born, though some speculate He was born in April, I believe. Christmas is a pre-Christian holiday, plain and simple.

Wink TV Entertainment !

I think it's quite entertaining when folks "lose it" on the air. My favorite "episode" was on The O'Really Factor when Geraldo R. and Bill O. went at it hard screaming face to face spit splashing and teeth gnarling in a fit of rage with no civil constraint or control whatsoever ! It was really fun to watch. ~ ~

Find it entertaining when JT, I mean X Jr. throws a tantrum and start with the name calling when his thread falls flat.
