I don't care if they celebrate the holiday in private, but keep your store closed.
I know that you hate it, but we do have that pesky first amendment.

What I don't understand is how anyone can defend such disgusting profanity as "Happy Holidays". If someone wants to insult an entire group of people (gays, blacks) it's ok because we must be respectful of religious beliefs but there's no excuse for "Happy Holidays";it's hate speech, plain and simple.

Again, if it's so great, it should sell itself, No?
You really want to force people to observe your religious holiday? Sounds kind of Talibanish to me.

Look there, I invented a word.

At least you acknowledge that Christmas is a religious holiday.. Thanks!

Talibans killed non-Muslims, lashed people in public, etc.

Like the freedom to scream at sales clerks when they don't say what you want them to say, as you claimed in the other thread?

Way to show that "Christian" spirit.

At least three of the Signers of the Constitution were Deists and did not accept the divinity of Jesus. George Washington specifically said that America was never intended to be a Christian nation. Was Washington a Liberal?

It is a religious holiday. That's why I order Chinese food instead of celebrating, like I would on Thanksgiving or July 4th. Why don't you want me to eat Chinese food? It seems disrespectful of MY traditions. Next, are going to tell me I can't take my family to the movies either. Why are you are trying to ruin my Christmas?
