Christmas Crap
12.15.05 (7:57 pm) [edit]Just watched the Larry King show to see his interview with Bill Maher, which I found out about an hour before it happened.
I won't repeat most of it (it's brilliant shit and you will find the transcripts online soon anyway)but something stuck in my head because I haven't read much news lately and was amazed again at how fucking stupid so many Americans are after hearing about this "issue."
Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays? Wow. What a fucking choice. You know what I think the choice should be? Time-Wasting Asshole or Priority-Challenged Misfit. Once again, liberals and conservatives in the US have come together on a completely unimportant non-issue rather than addressing things that actually MATTER. It's our way here in this country, and both sides love doing it, the Republicans are just usually a lot better at inventing the shit.
I can understand that some people on the left don't like cetain religious shit thrown in their face, I don't like it either, but let's face it - we lost this one a LONG time ago. It's the fucking Christians' holiday (there's other religious holidays going on at the same time, but come on, does it MATTER to Wal-Mart's sales figures what those Christ-hating Jews do?) just look the other way and practice some of that tolerance you like to go on about. Because I've got news for you - what you name a TREE is not nearly as important as the name of the asshole who gets to come onto the Supreme Court and overturn laws thereby taking away freedoms that are MUCH more relevant to most people's lives than the overblown celebration of a dead Jew's birthday party.
People are dying in Iraq, people's lives have been completely fucked in New Orleans, corporate greed is poisoning our food supply and obliterating the future of millions, George Bush is drilling holes in anything that isn't a fetus, and Survivor is still on the air. THESE things are worth fighting for. You are inconviniencd at best, you whining self-important, easily-offended little pussy. Get a real job and learn how to pick your battles. If you want to have an edge over the idiots in the religious right who make this kind of nonsense an issue, you might first try NOT DOING IT YOURSELF. Put your energy into a matter of true importance. Like should there be movies about gay cowboys?
Love,
