Please accept with no obligation, implied or explicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2011 but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor that we are the only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference.
To My Republican Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

this is dope. f@ck being PC brah
Fcking awesome. Happy holidays (as I don't give a sht about being PC, but not Christian :-p)
Merry Christmas bro
I'm not a Christian. I was raised a Hindu and now am an atheist. And I know enough about American history to engage in a debate about religious freedoms in America,
That being said, this is a Christian majority country. That is why Christmas is a national/federal holiday and Diwali is not.
Seeing Christmas greetings all over the place does not offend me in anyway.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Merry Christmas. Get drunk and eat some meat. Or whatever it is you want to do, I don't give a shit, just let me get drunk and eat some meat.

I have this liberal asshole as a friend on facebook who always writes the dumbest liberal crap....about on par with MSNBC.. Is it bad that I saw a recent comment and moved my pointer over to give him monkey shit only to realize there is no monkey shit on facebook?
I definitely stole this, made a FB note, and tagged all my republican/democrat friends in it. So far there have just been a couple skirmishes, I'm waiting for the war to break out...
Do you honestly waste your time with Ann Coulter? Jesus, she has to be one of the least intelligent "public" figures out there.
Ann Coulter, Jews should be perfected.
Ann Coulter: We should wipe out all muslims http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60xDmowdTCA&feature=related .
thats a long ass sentence
Well,
Ann Coulter is 100% correct with that second clip. As for the first clip, she attempted to explain herself (she did an ok job on that front), but the interviewer was completely ignoring the context on how "perfected" was used....but let's face it, it was a loaded and completely asinine question to begin with.
In the second clip, she is comparing the war on terror to WW2, a completely idiotic comparison.
You can't be serious. Even if you are an unbending Republican, there are way smarter republicans than that shrill idiot. The only reason why she was even popular was because she was an idiot and a woman. Her stances are completely unintelligent and she can't grasp simple statistical arguments.
About the first clip: she said that a perfect America would be made up of all Christians. Do you honestly believe that? She actually believes the old testament, word for word. Do you believe that? Again, if you are an ardent republican there are way smarter republicans.
You make the same mistake in both clips with your inability to look at the statements in the context in which they were said. All you hear is WWII and War on Terror and instantly think she's wrong and ignore everything she said. In fact, she mentions/acknowledges differences, but again you are not paying attention to what she was saying. The point she made was spot on with today's society. Society has become too weak willed when it comes to violence. More people were killed in a single battle of WW2 than in the past 9 years of WW2. but people don't care and the first sign of bloodshed they are willing to throw in the towel. Ann Coulter was making the correct argument, that while attacking civilians shouldn't be deliberate, if it does happen, it helps in deterring and eliminating the radical culture to begin with. Image where the world would be if Nazism wasn't as thoroughly destroyed as it was...There is no changing a radicals culture, you need to wipe it out.
And before you argue but it radicalizes a population...........bullshit. We are not talking about the mass slaughter of civilians, but the targeted approach to killing terrorists in which some civilians may be killed. The amount of terrorists that are killed will always be greater than the civilian casualties and eventually the radical culture is removed one way or another.
She does compare WW2 to the War on Terror. She cited the deaths of civilians in Germany as a way we crushed the Nazi war machine and said that we should replicate that method in Afghanistan and Iraq. There is no need to delve farther into that since it is beyond asinine. Nazism collapsed because the Third Reich was too expansive in regards to its conquests. And saying that we crushed Nazism because we killed a lot of their civilian deaths just shows a dearth of knowledge about WW2. There were relatively few German civilian casualties, between 900 thousand and 3 million died.
And the bit about the killing of civilians as some type of aid on the war on terror is ridiculous. Do you know who agrees with me that civilian deaths create more terrorists, General McChrystal.
http://www.armytimes.com/news/2010/05/military_afghanistan_civilian_cas…
When has the killing of civilians helped win a war against an ideology? Did the millions of deaths in Vietnam make the Vietnamese come to our side. Did the French torture of the Algerians win them the civil war in Algeria?
And do you believe she was correct when she said that America should be all Christian?
So civilian deaths at 1.3%-4.6% of the country's total population is "relatively few"???
Regards
She is not stating that we should attack civilians, she is saying that civilians may be killed while killing terrorists--look in the first 30 seconds when she is talking about amnesty international. She does not say Nazism fell because we attacked civilians. She says that civilians died while the allies were removing the Nazi threat. All she is saying is that the loss of civilian life (just as the loss of life to your own troops) should not be the ultimate factor when deciding what to do. She repeatedly mentions "clean little war". When you decided to destroy Nazism or radical Islam, the death of civilians is to be expected and amnesty international shouldn't be complaining over every little accidental civilian death (direct targeting of civilians is another matter, but obviously most people are against that).
Why don't you defend your statement?
How, with all the smart Republicans out there, can you defend this idiot woman and her void of ideas? Saying she is 100% right when she is rebuked in every way by America's military establishment just shows how nescient republicans are.
Ann Coulter is to Republican as the Westboro Baptist Church is to Christianity.
She's just an idiot. Ignore her and move on.
Ah yes, here comes the politics...
Hate to interrupt the awesome / highly intelligent political discussion going on, but...Merry Christmas to you and yours CPH.
Thanks EOK. You managed to ruin a funny thread.
Seconded
Delete...
Okay, I would imagine that you could delete all of my posts. I just clicked on the OP's link and nearly spat out my cereal once I read Ann Coulter was the author. Nothing was particularly funny about the faux pas in first post.
Just because the post hits home, doesn't mean it isn't funny.
Regards
You're a mean one...lol.
