Not only does the progressive left want to rid the words "Merry Christmas", and placate the Muslims with the "less offensive" "Happy Holidays", but now they are trying to get Christmas carols off the radios.

They should get them out of the shops in October and November. Especially the ones that have nothing to do with an Australian Christmas - Frosty the Snowman and Winter Wonderland are not Christmas songs, they are WINTER songs.

David Jones starts in September.

And, in other news associated with a dead fictional character:

"A Woolworths spokesman said they were "very happy" to offer hot cross buns to their customers in early January."

This country was founded on Christian values and we need to stand up to these shrill and nasty bigoted leftists before they further damage this once great country.

Where on earth did he get this garbage from?

So has this actually happened or is this just another dumb conservative email chain like changing Australia day to "CITIZENS DAY" even though that doesn't even make sense to do with the debate on Australia day in that the day its on is the thing thats actually insensitive to aboriginals. (it should be on Eureka Stockade imo as that is when the average person won democratic rights)

I originally thought this may be the case, as you almost never hear about Australia "being founded on Christian values". You do however hear it (incorrectly) being said about the U.S.

Oh, Matty, that God you're back from Rhode Island. The leftards have been getting our country into a frightful pickle. Not only did their hideous leftard politician take over our country, but they won't even let Mr Abbott do his job as our Roads and Infrastructure prime Minister.

This Christmas carol thing is terrible too. It is strange though - all I hear in the shops are Christmas carols. It's the same on radio and TV. Not one person has ever said happy holidays to me. Not one. Even the bigoted leftards say merry Christmas. I've got cards from plenty of them. And there are nativity scenes in the two local malls. There's even a nativity scene and flashing Christmas lights outside my local mosque, can you believe it?

If anything, there are noticeably more nativity scenes.

You're probably talking about America, where you moved to avoid the carbon tax. Did you know it's been axed?

We have so much to catch up on, Matty. We can't possibly vote for the Libs again - not after what they did to our Prime Minister. I'm not sure our Pauline will be running either. Even the lovely Sophie's off in some cushy job. We need her now more than ever.

Have you thought of rejoining the Greens? They have a new leader now. He seems quite nice. Who will you be voting for next time?

Exactly. The leftards won't even celebrate in the post-Christmas sales figures. Imagine them championing the true message of Christmas.

thank gawd. christmas carols are such a bore.

You will rue those words when your day of judgment arrives.

what happens on the day of judgement?

If you don't follow God with all your mind, might and soul then you are headed straight for hell.

what does one wear for the day of judgement?

why are you concerned with such trivial matters?

Some people want to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas, Matty. They need to know what to buy at the Christmas sales.

Good, maybe replace them with something that doesn't make me dry heave.

I actually like lots of carols, but the ones on the radio/supermarket/everyfreakinwhere right now are awful.

Which ones? They're not even playing them.

Bullshit.

What do you hope to gain from this lie?

There is no lie. There is only the truth. This is just one of many thing the progressive left tries to do to stop the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ our eternal Saviour, born of the most Blessed Virgin Mary.

It is just like how Clover Moore wanted to drop people from saying "Merry Christmas" and instead say "Happy Holiday", and to pretend that the Sydney Siege was not a terrorist attack.

Nope.

Complete and utter bullshit.

Why do you persist with these lies?

Jesus' birth Grin

You too have God's wrath and fury pouring out on you

what will it taste like?

Chicken.

I'm a vegetarian. I'm going to have to pass on Gawd's wrath and fury.

Probably a vagitarian too like the rest of your middle class yuppie shrill ugly feminists.

These vagitarians will go to hell for sure, Matty. They probably won't even shave their armpits for Judgment Day.

Pathetic.
