You just answered your own question, "a couple of schools, a couple corporations" I don't think Wal-Mart, Target, Macy's, etc, are just a couple of silly corporations that have no influence on anyone. They are in fact, huge chains, chains that reside in every major city and town in our country, they have a huge impact, they have now been reminded.
Yeah, it was a blatant reminder of how guns god and glory mental cases screech and squall like scalded cats, throw their tantrums, and make damned sure everyone in the country has to be subject to their "my way or the highway" bullshit politics. Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, it was the right of wal-mart, target, and macy's to make whatever greeting policies they want. They make their policies any other time of year, but just because its Christmas, a couple of evangelicals get their panties in a wad and make a big issue out of nothing. And who was there to ride the gravy train to ratings...O'Reilly.
This case is closed now IMO, but it needed to be said, and thank God for Bill saying what needed to be said to these huge power houses.
And how, pray tell, are these corporations huge powerhouses when it comes to the realm of faith and devotion to your religion? This should be good...
You can pretend all you want, and lie to yourself all day, but some of us felt threatened, and we acted accordingly,
Then I would venture that you felt threatened because you misplace your faith, not because a store clerk said "Happy Holidays".
you did not obviously, and you have made your opinion known about religion, that's fine.
No, I felt no threat at all because there was no threat. It was all a fabricated game for the right wing nuts to get some more exposure and remind everyone that they can kick and scream louder than anyone else.
We also have the right to express our displeasure, and it's not really important what you think about the message, only that the important people and corporations heard us, and acted accordingly.:2wave:
Yes, the corporations took the high road and conceded rather than let the fundies take all joy out of Christmas too...
As for Bill, I hope he continues to tick you, and all your liberal pals off, daily, weekly, and for as long as he possibly can. Fox is not going anyone, just as religion is not, and people who hate your kind for that matter, get used to it, we are trying to do the same.
I'm not even sure what you want me to say about this last part except...What is your point? You proved mine...hoping that someone pisses off a whole section of the society...enjoying the bile that this asshole spews.
For as whiny and spineless as liberals are, conservatives are just as foul, arrogant, and abrasive.
