Christmas and America's 5th Column Jerks

By John A. Ross on Dec 27, 06


Reflecting on how fast the year has flown by and the overall positive mood of the American people, it is incumbent that I share my optimism, just to spite America’s 5th Column Jerks. The so-called “Peace Movement” is America’s 5th Column that consists of the mainstream media, press, traitorous bureaucrats, too many socialist educators and bunch of Hollywood Nitwits.



A robust will of the American people to celebrate Christmas by spending more money per-capita and openly preferring retailers and their employees that wish customers a “Merry Christmas” was evident this year. Square in the face of political correctness jerks, the 86% of Americans that consider themselves politically moderate and believe in God are also telling America’s 5th Column to take a hike. The recent national uproar over the removal of Christmas trees at the Seattle International Airport is indicative of the mood Americans are in and willingness to fight for their traditions.


Intent upon convincing the American people that we are evil and only “liberal” minds should lead our nation, America’s 5th Column and their socialist brethren in Europe are losing their grip on society. For example, the minor gains that Democrats enjoyed in last month’s mid-term elections were achieved through the election of “moderate” candidates. Specifically, none of the newly elected congressional and senatorial candidates ran on the liberal positions of the Democrats leadership. Consistent with America’s conscious move towards political moderation, Swedish voters recently booted their socialist party out of power they had held for more than ninety-years.


Similar to a cat waiting for it’s prey to make a mistake most Americans have kept a wary eye on anyone, or thing, that could have deluded or deprived them of celebrating Christmas as they wished. It is “common knowledge” that the ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union, or more aptly American Communist Litigation Union) is a legal accomplice of America’s 5th Column. Most Americans have already concluded that the “Peace Movement,” more definitively America’s 5th Column, shares the same goals international socialism does and they are aware of their deceitful intentions.


The subversive role that America’s mainstream media, press, traitorous bureaucrats, too many socialist educators and all those Hollywood Nitwits (i.e. 5th Column) has become evident to most. Hating the traditions and independent mindedness of the 86% of Americans that are politically moderate and believe in God, America’s 5th Column is swimming upstream. For example, most Americans know we can and must win the war on terror, despite the unending negative drivel we receive >from 5th Column stooges.


“Politically-correct,” at any price, liberals that are unable to think for their selves and refuse to hear, or read, are finding that their sphere of influence has shrunk to those that still believe in socialism. Faced with a buoyant economy, a sense of revitalized nationalism that wants to win the war on terror and a strong will to protect our traditions, 5th Columnists are crawling back into their holes. They, America’s 5th Columnists, are, as usual, retreating back to the shadows because their intentions have become apparent. For those that will not educate themselves, the ACLU spun off >from the American Communist Party in 1920. It was apparent to the communists that Americans weren’t interested in their snake oil so they formed the ACLU to attack our institutions and traditions (i.e. Christmas).

Dobbs: A tree grows in Seattle

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Merry Christmas! That's right, Merry Christmas. Whether you're Christian, Jewish, Muslim, agnostic, pagan, barbarian or whatever, Merry Christmas!It's what most of us say in this country come this time of year. It's about who we are, where we are and where we've been. And all the namby-pamby, little sensitive darlings among us who can't handle this verbal assault on their delicate senses should immediately begin seeking emergency psychiatric care.This week we were treated to the spectacle of an easily offended and highly offensive rabbi who walked into an airport, gazed upon Christmas trees all around him and suddenly was overwhelmed with an immense, and apparently irresistible, urge to sue the management of the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport because nowhere among all the Christmas trees was a single menorah. Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement of Seattle even delivered to the airport's management a draft of a lawsuit he would file if they didn't sprinkle menorahs around the Christmas trees.Political correctness in this country reached an entirely new level of absurdity some years ago. But occasionally, and the situation at Sea-Tac is just such an occasion, we exceed ourselves. The militant fundamentalist rabbi so flummoxed Sea-Tac management with his threat and their perceived obligation to be "politically correct" that, rather than think rationally or simply tell him to stuff it, they started hacking away at all those artificial Christmas trees and quickly descended into a public relations nightmare in which they managed to offend reason, cultural values and the vast majority of Americans.As CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin told me, "The Supreme Court has held since 1984, the famous 'Reindeer Rule,' that if a symbol of Christmas is mostly secular, like a reindeer or a Christmas tree or Santa Claus, that is not a violation of the separation of church and state."The irony that escaped the rabid rabbi and the timid Sea-Tac management team is that the Christmas tree's likely origin dates back to pre-Christian pagan cultures. The Christmas tree is not by any means a religious symbol, and when we're honest about it, the tree's become a purely commercial symbol more closely associated with shopping, roasting chestnuts and guzzling eggnog than a nativity scene with baby Jesus.And hang on, Christians, because you're in 21st Century America, and our culture celebrates your holiest day of the year with such insensitive gusto that our economy would suffer a serious setback if your religious sensibilities were as easily offended as those of the litigious rabbi.More than 140 million shoppers spent an average of about $360 on Black Friday alone, the day after Thanksgiving and the unofficial kickoff to the Christmas shopping season, according to the National Retail Federation. And all those Christmas shoppers are expected to spend nearly a half-trillion dollars this shopping season.Now if I were a fundamentalist Christian, that might strike me as a little politically incorrect. And I think all of you folks should think about suing somebody. You know, get in the spirit of the season.This mindless movement of political correctness at all costs is one of the most un-American and crazy twists in our culture as anything we've witnessed. Remember, we're Americans, and we have freedom of speech, that whole life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness thing. Or at least we did.And I hope you'll celebrate the Christmas season by offending someone. If you're Jewish, how about a hearty "Happy Hanukkah" to a good Christian? If they're offended you've revealed a fool, not such a good Christian and someone you shouldn't waste your expression of good will upon. But get ready for a few robust "Merry Christmas" calls to be thrown your way as well.The operators of the Seattle-Tacoma airport quickly righted a potentially dreadful wrong. The rabbi decided not to file a suit, Christmas trees have sprung back up throughout the concourse, and no, not a single menorah has been spotted. I can only hope this is the beginning of a major movement in America, one that regards thinking as paramount to phony feelings and heightened self-centered sensitivities. Common sense and judgment should always reign supreme over political correctness, no matter what the current trend.And, my gosh, even Wal-Mart this year has abandoned its generic, politically correct "Happy Holidays" greeting in favor of "Merry Christmas." I'm starting to think this may be the season to be jolly after all. Ho, ho, ho.To all, a Merry Christmas. OK, and a Happy Hanukkah, too.The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the writer.

AMEN....
