Default Celebrate whatever you want

I still say Merry Christmas and if people want to take offense at it, thats their prerogative.
There's some VERY strange meanings to that term as seen below-who's REALLY warring on Chriistmas here? Why is there no outcry against this type of thinking??
I Sort of like the idea of an all-religions holiday for everyone, it doesn't have to even be on Christmas Day. Christians can still celebrate on DEc 25th if they want (although thats only Christs birthday by papal fiat) but as of right now if Jews, Moslems and whatevers want to celebrate their holy days they have to take the day off--so it should be with Christians too and my notion of a good CHRIstian (or good American) wouldn't argue with that.
My familiy's not real religious, most of us don't even go to church on CHRIstmas (I go on Christmas Eve sometimes) but we're still nominallyy Christians.
I think that the people running around saying there's a war on CHristmas are doing so to raise their ratiings (i.e. make more money). This makes them liittle more than media pimps in my book, hustling theiir view on Christmas to make a lousy buck any way they can. YEAh, thats Capitalism, all right, with a capitall C, but it sure isn't Christian. They also make up and distort to make thheir point--I saw the dig at John Stewart by O Reilly--O REILLy had a 2 year old clip from Stewarts show--which was a spoof--as proof that Stewart "wars" on Christmas. Olberman makes O Reilly "The Worst Person In The World" at least once a week for all the lies he says about other people. OReilly never even questions Coulters statements, even the obviously anti CHRIstmas statement posted below.
. There's no war agaiinst Christians in this country, to say so trivializes actual war and the sacrifices being made in one right now. This country is run by CHristians, every major part of it.
Christian Americans should show tolerance for other peoples views--its the American AND the Christian thing to do.
STAy good
