The 12 Days of Winter (Video skewers the War on Christmas and political correctness)

Instead of the 12 days of Christmas, we now have politically correct nonsense like the coloring book - 12 Days of Winter. So it's high-time for a little good humored push-back.

Via Ed Morressay:

This one comes from The Heidi Harris Show on Las Vegas' KDWN, and it's pretty amusing. Instead of entirely skewering the war on Christmas, Heidi attacks overall political correctness. I'm generally not all that concerned about the war on Christmas, mainly because Christmas is winning, but the point about tolerance for thee but not for me is evergreen, after all. Why is "tolerance" somehow limited to everything but expressions of Christian faith?

Ed is right about Christmas winning the war on Christmas - at least in the commercial arena. The American Family Association keeps a "Naughty or Nice" list ... based on current advertising, that keeps track of companies that avoid, ban, or use the term "Christmas" in their advertising. And as one can see by the growing list of "nice" companies ...

Now, if only Christms could fair so well with our government:

Just a few miles down I-95 from the Ground Zero Mosque, the government of Philadelphia banned (and then unbanned) "Christmas Village." In Portland, the "Christmas Tree Bomber" had to settle for trying to bomb a "holiday tree," because the government of Portland already got to the infidels before him and changed "Christmas tree" to "holiday tree." And, lest you think that this targeting of Christianity is limited to Christmastime, recall the case of 12 Christian students in Washington State who were suspended for praying at school. By contrast, USA Today reports that "some public schools and universities are granting Muslim requests for prayer times, prayer rooms and ritual foot baths, prompting a debate on whether Islam is being given preferential treatment over other religions."

Of course they're being given preferential treatment. Muslims can pray in schools, Christians cannot. When peaceful Christians try to put up Christmas trees, they are either told to call them "holiday trees," or driven out of American town squares by government. When a radical Islamist tries to detonate said "holiday tree" to kill "the enemy of Allah" while screaming "Allahu Akbar, " we are told by the mayor of Portland that it's "our collective responsibility" and that "it doesn't appear that there is any evidence that it was some sort of ideological focus," and that the government took swift action to "beef up patrols around facilities like mosques and other places to prevent any ill-guided retribution to the Muslim-American community."

So much for that "wall of separation between Church & State." When an Islamist tries to kill innocent Christians at Christmastime, the State builds a wall of protection around Muslims to protect them from Christians.
