Quote:

On the November 28 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, host Bill O'Reilly pointed to "a very secret plan" by the "secular progressive" movement, which he said aims to "diminish Christian philosophy in the U.S.A." It is a plan he links to his perception that many now avoid the holiday greeting "Merry Christmas." O'Reilly's disclosure of this "secret plan" was followed the day after by a rant on his radio show against the "hateful liars" who "spit out" "blatant propaganda" that is "picked up by the mainstream media, and rammed down the public's throat."

According to O'Reilly, the "secular progressive" movement has three elements:

First, progressive financiers George Soros and Peter Lewis "pour money into the ACLU [American Civil Liberties Union], they pour money into the smear websites, you know, they buy up a lot of media time."
Second, "the ACLU is their legal arm. ... [T]he ACLU runs around the country suing everybody and intimidating people."
Third, "the smear websites are their media arm."
O'Reilly said these three elements operate "in tandem":

In 1959, the recently formed John Birch Society issued an urgent alert: Christmas was under attack. In a JBS pamphlet titled "There Goes Christmas?!" a writer named Hubert Kregeloh warned, "One of the techniques now being applied by the Reds to weaken the pillar of religion in our country is the drive to take Christ out of Christmas -- to denude the event of its religious meaning." The central front in this perfidious assault was American department stores, where the "Godless UN" was scheming to replace religious decorations with internationalist celebrations of universal brotherhood.

OK, who blabbed to Mr. Falafelhead? Really, can't we keep anything a secret anymore? Oh well, I guess it's back to Plan B: ruin everyone's holidays by drinking too much and dredging up long-simmering interfamilial grievances at the dinner table.

Good songs never go away; they just get remixed.

I expect we'll be hearing something on this theme again soon:

Well, I was feelin' sad and kind'a blue,
I didn't know what I was a-gonna do,
Them Communists wus a-comin' around,
They wus in the air,
They wus on the ground.
They wus all over.

So I run down most hurriedly
And joined the John Birch Society,
got me a secret membership card
And went back home to the yard,
Started lookin' on the sidewalk,
under the hedges.

Well, I got up in the mornin' 'n' looked under my bed,
I wus lookin' every place for them gol-darned Reds.
Looked behind the sink, and under the floor,
Looked in the glove compartment of my car.
Couldn't find any . . .

Looked behind the clothes, behind my chair
lookin' for them reds everywhere
looked up my chimney hole,
even deep down inside my toilet bowl,
They got away . . .

I heard some foot-steps by the front porch door,
so I grabbed my shot-gun from the floor.
Snuck around the house with a huff and a hiss,
saying "Hands up, you communist!"
It was the mailman.
He punched me out.

Well, I wus sittin' home alone an' started to sweat,
Figured they wus in my T.V. set.
I peeked behind the picture frame,
Got a shock from my feet that hit my brain.
Them Reds did it!
Hootenanny Television . . .

Well, I quit my job so I could work alone,
got a magnifying glass like Sherlock Holmes.
Followed some clues from my detective bag
And discovered: red stripes on the American flag!
Betsy Ross . . .

Now Eisenhower, he's a Russian spy,
Lincoln, Jefferson and that Roosevelt guy.
To my knowledge there's just one man
That's really a true American:
That's George Lincoln Rockwell.
I know for a fact he hates Commies cus he picketed the movie Exodus.

Well, I fin'ly started thinkin' straight
When I run outa things to investigate.
Couldn't imagine nothing else,
So now I'm home investigatin' myself!
Hope I don't find out too much . . . Good God!

I bolded the lines that always make me laugh.

Is there NO way to get obviously insane people help in your country?

Nope. Involuntary committal requires imminent danger. I thought those released from mental hospitals were only out on the streets, but Rush and O'Reilly prove otherwise.

If O'Reilly found it, how secret could it possibly be?

(and for the record whatever happened to Limbaugh?)

I think this is an insane day - saying that I just looked up and out the window here in the office and it's just starting to snow! Rat____

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And we've no other place to go
Let it snow
Let it snow
Let it snow . . .

Don't sweat it, Husker, just set the cubicle farm on fire . . .

He poses an imminent danger to the sanity of the right.

Doesn't your government invade where there is imminent danger?

Oh? You find the local news reports annoying in Washington State as well?

Thanksgiving night the northern half of this state got about an inch of snow. Unusual for this time of year, (the highs are usuallly 50º), but not unheard of.

The 11 o'clock news forecasts all led off with emergency style reports about "dangers to early shoppers", read in urgent, almost panicky tones by the news anchors. In-the-field reports were shown by reporters standing outside in the light snowfall as if they were in the middle of some battle zone. Dire warnings were given repeatedly about "black ice", and motorists were interviewed about the phenomenon.

All this for a 1" dusting of snow on Thanksgiving night.

Of course, by sunrise the next day, the snow was all cleared away, (in the parts were the light dusting didn't disappear of it's own accord).

Turns out the "early shoppers" the Thanksgiving night's news broadcasts were talking about were those few people who were going to the stores which opened at midnight, which a few stores did as a gimmick. That's what they used 15 minutes of a half hour Thanksgiving night news report for-those midnight shoppers might run into an inch of snow that was falling.

But hey, don't get me wrong-I just love my local news broadcasts! Rolling Eyes

Nobody informed me of any conspiracy.

I just started saying "Happy Holidays" because I don't really want to have people correct me and tell me that they are Jewish or Muslim or Buddhist or whatever when I wish them a Merry Xmas. I just wanted to wish them well, whoever they are.

I gave up asking for Coke or Pepsi (they taste the same to me) for the same reason. No matter which one you ask for, the restaurant only has the other one. So now I drink Ginger Ale, because nobody cares which brand it is, they just know what you mean and are happy to give it to you.

So, Merry Christmas everyone, oh damn it, oops I mean *darn* it, I meant Happy... oh whatever. Pass the politically correct generic ginger ale.
