Goat declares war on Christmas

Obviously a liberal goat who voted for Obama. Probably gone out to organize other goats to occupy a farm someplace.


FERGUS FALLS, Minn. - A goat that apparently didn't want to be part of a Minnesota nativity scene has headed for greener pastures.

The 3-year-old Angora goat was supposed to have a supporting role at Bethlehem Church in Fergus Falls. Instead it escaped its leash Saturday afternoon, and remained on the lam Monday.

The war on Christmas has taken many forms, from substituting words in Christmas carols to banning expressions of the holiday, like nativity scenes and Christmas trees. National Review columnist Mark Steyn (http://steynonline.com/) thinks this assault on Christmas is not only “nuts,” but that it demonstrates the Western world’s “institutional self-loathing.”

On Canada’s SUN television network last week, the author of “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon” cited the Royal Canadian Mint’s effort to replace the word “Christmas” with “holiday” in 2002 (http://www.rense.com/general32/christm.htm) as an example of the anti-Christmas insanity.

“I don’t get offended at the word ‘Christmas,’” Steyn said.

“I’m entirely relaxed about it. I think it’s slightly odd that we recoil from the word. By the way, the worst example of this in recent years was by our pals at the Royal Canadian Mint, who about eight or nine years ago had that insane campaign, ‘On the first day of holiday, my true love gave to me,’ and you couldn’t say the ‘C-word.’ If you were going to buy a commemorative gift set from the Royal Canadian Mint, you would buy one of the ‘12 days of holiday.’ I thought that was nuts.”

Steyn went on to note that there is no crusade to generalize other religious holidays and that the West’s budding hatred of itself and its values was at the “heart” of the matter.

It was a joke. If you don't have a sense of humor, don't reply. Stop being such a pain in the tail.
