Summer vacation is almost over, the kids are returning to school, and Fox News is already hyping the return of the “War on Christmas.”

Hey its never too early to whip up the base

Beat the rush Fox host Elisabeth Hasselbeck warns of War on Christmas -- in August
I agree. She should focus on the war on kids and talk about all the corruption in public ed. She could talk until Christmas and barely scratch the surface.
Yes the republicans cutting education and health care for kids should be talked about
 
You mean they're over hyping a perceived threat that really is quite isolated and uncommon in daily life?

Must have taken a que from BlackLivesMatter.
 
I hope he lights the white house up to celebrate Christianity's favorite day as much as he did for the homo wedding ruling.

Of course you realize stores will be putting out Christmas stuff in just a couple of weeks.

Couple weeks!!? The Cracker Barrell here in Charleston had it out last Monday!!!! August 10th.
We usually don't get it till the first week of September here.

The Walmart here usually has the back garden area filled with Christmas stuff by late August once gardening season is ending. Cracker Barrel had Halloween stuff out on July 20th!
 
As for the war on Christmas.....it's more like a War on Christians. Christmas is just one battle.

Islam is bombing and beheading Christians.
Atheists are suing everyone who dares mention it.
Liberals are banning prayer and Bibles everywhere they can.
Liberals are seeking out small Christian businesses and trying to shut them down.
Christmas is just one small part of the larger battle.


That's those silly super tolerant and diverse liberals for ya.
 
There is no 'war on Christmas,' the notion is ignorant rightwing idiocy and a lie.

Establishment Clause jurisprudence requires that government involvement in religion have a clear secular purpose, that the primary goal of government must not seek to advance religion, and that government must not become excessively entangled in religion. (Lemon v. Kurtzman)

'Noting that the city’s name is Spanish for Bethlehem — hence the display — the mayor pointed out that locals have strong feelings for the display, and that the city will go as “as far as we can” legally to keep from having to move it onto private property.'

To be in compliance with the First Amendment the town should remove the display, as it has no secular purpose, as it serves solely to promote religious advocacy:

“When viewed in its overall context, the creche display violates the Establishment Clause. The creche angel's words endorse a patently Christian message: Glory to God for the birth of Jesus Christ. Moreover, in contrast to Lynch, nothing in the creche's setting detracts from that message. Although the government may acknowledge Christmas as a cultural phenomenon, it may not observe it as a Christian holy day by suggesting that people praise God for the birth of Jesus.

[...]

The Constitution mandates that the government remain secular, rather than affiliating itself with religious beliefs or institutions, precisely in order to avoid discriminating against citizens on the basis of their religious faiths. Thus, the claim that prohibiting government from celebrating Christmas as a religious holiday discriminates against [492 U.S. 573, 575] Christians in favor of nonadherents must fail, since it contradicts the fundamental premise of the Establishment Clause itself.”

Ignorant nonsense.

See post #16.

Your attempt to vilify liberals because they acknowledge settled and accepted First Amendment jurisprudence serves only to illustrate your ridiculous partisan stupidity.
 
It isn't too early for obama to dream up Christmas light regulations.

That's the Consumer Product Safety Commission -- not O'bama.

>> The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is an independent agency of the United States government created in 1972 through the Consumer Product Safety Act to protect "against unreasonable risks of injuries associated with consumer products." The CPSC is an independent agency that does not report to nor is part of any other department or agency in the federal government. The CPSC is generally headed by three commissioners nominated by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate for staggered seven year terms. <<
That's from your own link. You have to look past the bogus headline.
