The War On Christmas Is Over

If someone has to resort to blatantly lying about what someone said, they are the loser. Otherwise they’d bring a real argument.

Agreed. It only proves they cannot be reasoned with, otherwise they wouldn't compelled to lie.
 
There is no reason to argue with that person.
Conservatives happier than liberals - Washington Times

Of course they're "happier." They have a POTUS who endlessly bashes the left/democrats/libs. Generally speaking, conservatives are obsessed with competition, and are obsessed with winning. They're also obsessed with validating their own vile ideology and validating the way they vote, constantly.

Additionally, tying happiness to the worship of imaginary sky deities is a proponent of conservative happiness; of course they're smug and glib; they've managed to chase the evil left out of their churches and surround themselves with like minded judgmental clowns who see everything through the teamism that is conservative hive thought.
 
There is a reason that conservatives are happier than leftist.

We do not hate as much.

Agreed Conservatives are happier than Liberals, but extremists/haters are not happy regardless of political alignment.

They don't enjoy it. Haters are pathetic people because they constantly create their own misery. It's one thing to be angry about politics, but it's a special kind of person who chooses to hate others. No single side has a monopoly on hatred but the good news is that most haters are very few in number....good thing too because they make more than enough rancorous noise to nearly drown out the vast majority of reasonable, sane people. If there were more of them I think we'd devolve into open warfare with the majority of sane people taking down the extremists.
 
You can't take something that never belonged to you in the first place. Jesus was not born on December 25th. In reality Jesus probably never existed at all, and if he did he was nothing more than a cult leader. You picked that holiday specifically for the purposes of usurping the Pagan celebration of Solstice. You could pick any day of the year to celebrate the birth of your false idol because nobody actually knows when it really was. It's Christianity that took everyone else's holiday not the other way around.

It's a War on Yule and Saturnalia!!!

you once again post nothing that has to do with the actual article congrats once again.

I couldn't care less how happy a bunch of religious and political charlatans claim to be - and that was the point of my post.

I am very happy with my life and it has nothing to do with my political stance.

you seem to fall into the category based on the article that leftist are actually not happy
most are angered and triggered most of the time which actually corresponds to 98% of your posts.
so the article is actually correct and you pretty much support it.

one reason i will never be a democrat or a leftist.
to much energy in faux outrage all the time.

Conservatives are the most angry and hateful Americans we have

West Virginia Christmas Parade Keeps Name After Citizens and Politicians Protest


Screw the left and their political correctness. Christmas is Christmas. It's a G-damned federal holiday for Christ's sake! This liberal mayor and her cohorts once again tried to take the Christmas out of the town's Christmas parade and paid the price with public pressure forcing them to put Christmas back in the Christmas parade. I hope they all get shown the door when re-election comes. SJW's can all celebrate whatever the hell they want as long as they don't take other people's Christmas away. Merry Christmas everyone!

There never was a 'war on Christmas' . That was a fantasy promoted by Fox News for ratings. They started the 'war on thanksgiving' for that matter too.
 
Your profanity and taking the name of 'Christ' in vain shows you for what you are, a heretic. You right-wing nutjobs are under the mistaken belief that anyone opposing Trump is a heathen or atheist. You couldn't be more wrong. There are probably as many God-fearing Christians in the democratic party as there are in the republican party. It's a fallacy you like to promote, and it has no basic in truth or fact.

Here's Trump's "Spiritual Advisor" that he recently hired...

 
That isn't what being inclusive means.

I realize that there is a Mars/Venus, Yin/Yang component to the way both sides look at this. Christmas has always been inclusive to everyone. We don't need a war on Christmas to change the name. Christmas is Christmas.
 
Still doesn't make this some "War on Christmas". That's just some made up term and manufactured drama.

If the left can make up their wars the right can make up their wars and term them anything they want.

Well it's good that there's not actually some "War on Christmas" then.

Sure, have at it. Doesn't make it real. Good to see that you're just willing to admit your side just tries to sink to the same level as the "left" and will make up your own partisan lies and BS. I've never thought that partisans had integrity.
 
The factual accuracy of the Washington Time is not very high.

IE i don't like the headline verses reading the actual article.
study after study has shown that conservatives are happier more giving
than leftists.

have a nice day and again like the other person you failed to actually address anything from the article.

My posts here are a very miniscule portion of my life overall. I initially joined this forum thinking it would be interesting to hear divergent opinions, I got into political debate to better understand the ideologies at play, and how they work together, and how they push back against each other.

You don't know me personally, so your fake comparison is pure projection. It's not me who is continuously bitching about the gays, the LGBTQ's, the muslims, the atheists, the dems, the libs, the left, the socialists, et al.

That's you lot.

your posts tell a different story of anger and hatred of anyone that believes differently than you do.
so facts are simply facts.

Just FYI:

celebrations shared something in common. They all followed the sun.
Festivals, feasts, and celebrations, centered round the winter and summer solstices, appeared in all pagan civilizations centuries before the birth of Jesus of Nazareth, and continued for centuries after. Originally the Christian Church frowned upon these pagan rituals, but when traditions were too difficult to overcome the Church absorbed them, creating the ecclesiastical calendar around there existence. Scholars doubt that Jesus was born in December, even the Biblical account of shepherds watching over their flocks in the fields – which would not have happened in winter – make a winter birth unlikely. But celebrating Jesus birth’ during the time of the existing pagan celebration of the solstice was convenient and the Church usurped the holiday.

10 Christian Holidays and Beliefs Steeped in Pagan Traditions

Most "Christian Holidays" came from Paganism.

Your profanity and taking the name of 'Christ' in vain shows you for what you are, a heretic. You right-wing nutjobs are under the mistaken belief that anyone opposing Trump is a heathen or atheist. You couldn't be more wrong. There are probably as many God-fearing Christians in the democratic party as there are in the republican party. It's a fallacy you like to promote, and it has no basic in truth or fact.

That's why my most frequent and ardent prayer is: Christ save me from Christians.

Now, when it comes to 'giving'.. it seems to me that a lot of that 'giving' is tithes to the church, and what the church uses a lot of those 'tithes' are to have the church run, and also have programs such as education, camps etc etc etc. So, much of that 'giving' goes directly back into the giver.

So, I call nonsense on that one.

I think it would be funny to rebrand the War on Christmas as the War on Yule/Saturnalia. War on Yule probably is a bit more brand-friendly.
 
When that business has not only Christian employees but orthodox Jewish, Islamic atheist and Hindu as well as customers and clients from multiple religions and ethnicities, the best business practice is to be all inclusive.

It's horrible that employees are ordered to say certain things or not say certain things. They should be free to say what they want. If people are offended then screw 'em for being so Gdamned sensitive. To think that a Christian employee can't say Merry Christmas to a Christian customer is totally unacceptable.
 
your posts tell a different story of anger and hatred of anyone that believes differently than you do.
so facts are simply facts.

I don't hate people. People are flawed individuals and are walking the same broken path that I am walking. I despise ideologies. Social conservatism is a hate filled ideology that leads to discrimination and oppression, for example.

So once again, you completely fail in your assumptions about me.

I see you as nothing more than a human being with flawed opinions, just like the rest of us. I don't hate you. I hate your religion, and what it has done to you and others like you. I hate your politics, because they lead to oppression and discrimination, and exploitation. I hate your ideological slant.

Not you as an individual.
