Merry Christmas fellow freaks. I noticed Julian Assange is no longer on Twitter as of this morning. Hopefully he is ok. I wonder if they banned him? Seems hard to believe they would ban someone who generates so much traffic, but who knows.

Weird how liberals mock people who say Merry Christmas. But then clam up when people on their side say that saying Merry Christmas is "stealing Christmas to promote white nationalism."

So up until Obama (who yes, pushed the very PC non-Christian-centric idea of the Holidays) America was just a nation of Nazis? Remember, it was Obama who promised to transform the country and then declared that America is not a Christian country. In fact he said that it is one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. His words.

And saying Merry Christmas is "excluding other religions?" Wow, what alternative reality is this????? No one is saying other religions can't participate in Christmas.

==============================

Newsweek: ‘How Trump and the Nazis Stole Christmas To Promote White Nationalism’
By Clay Waters | December 26, 2017 5:51 PM EST

Merry Christmas, Nazi!

Newsweek keeps topping itself with discreditable anti-Trump “news” stories, the latest the holiday-themed “How Trump and the Nazis Stole Christmas To Promote White Nationalism” by Cristina Maza, filed on Christmas Eve. That headline kind of says it all, but if you want the full lunacy, keep reading:
President Donald Trump wants Americans to think he re-invented Christmas.

....

But critics counter that Trump is promoting a version of the holidays that excludes members of other religions, and that his crusade to bring back Christmas is part of a larger attempt by the president to define America as a country for white Christians alone.

Wishing people “merry Christmas” instead of “happy holidays,” is thus in line with Trump’s decision to ban citizens of Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, critics say. It fits neatly with his refusal to condemn white supremacists when they march against diversity, and with his condemnation of athletes who protest police brutality against black men.

With this in mind, the fight to end the war on Christmas is exclusionary politics at its most flagrant.
Then Maza went there:
Trump isn’t the first political figure in history to co-opt Christmas. In fact, some see parallels between Trump’s speeches in front of Christmas trees and attempts by authoritarian regimes like the Nazis to manipulate popular celebrations to promote a political ideology. But by weaponizing Christmas in this way, Trump is bringing a dangerous tradition of politicizing religious holidays into the United States, experts say.

....

....Meanwhile, members of the religious right support Trump’s most nationalist, race-baiting form of political rhetoric, including his re-claiming of Christmas.

Likewise, Nazi Germany’s propagandists rooted their idea of Christmas in visions of ethno-nationalism....
This bit about Trump’s “‘Merry Christmas’ tirades” was a particularly amusing example of the hysterical left in its natural state, and a complicit media that nods along and confirms the delusions.
“Frankly, I’m not sure how far Trump himself is willing to go to use the holiday to promote anti-Muslim or anti-minority visions of America, or if he even really understands what he is doing with his ‘Merry Christmas’ tirades.”
Maza was previously noted on NewsBusters for a story whose headline bizarrely blamed President Trump for Palestinian violence.

It’s a shame you feel the need to turn a thread wishing general goodwill into an adversarial back and forth.

Merry Christmas.
