The 2011 White House Christmas card features a content looking First Pup Bo Obama sitting by a roaring fireplace, flanked by Christmas presents and festive Christmasy ribbons and pine wreaths and bulbs. If you listen hard, you can almost hear sleigh bells. It’s all pretty non-controversial. Boring, even. Unless, of course, you’re Fox News—in which case the bookshelf is filled with Lenin’s B-sides, the Constitution is burning in the fireplace, Winston Churchill’s bust is conspicuously absent, Bo has become dependent on the federal government for handouts, and the empty seat is a stirring reminder of President Obama’s nonexistent leadership. I’m exagerrating, but only slightly….
Sometimes I think that if President Obama came out in favor of baseball, hot dogs, and apple pie, Conservatives and the journalists at Fox Noise Channel would excoriate him for hating football, hamburgers, and cherry pie. If he said that his favorite color was blue, Gretchen Carlson and Megyn Kelly would be wetting themselves in righteous indignation and self-righteously demanding to know why the President hates red and yellow.
So it is with this year’s White House Holiday Christmas card, which is like the Christmas cards of millions of other American families. It’s non-partison, non-ideological, non-theological, and, at least to this anti-American non-Christian, tastefully rendered. Perhaps it’s an implied endorsement of the message that Christmas is now a holiday celebrated in many different ways by people of many different faiths. Unfortunately, a certain Alaska half-governor, whose name I’ve committed to no longer mentioning in this space has her panties in a wad, as near as I can discern, because the White House Christmas card isn’t a ringing, in-your-face endorsement of Evangelical Christianity. As A.C.A.H.G.W.N.I.C.T.N.L.M.I.T.S might ask, “What Would Tim Tebow Do??”
It need no longer be said that no one takes A.C.A.H.G.W.N.I.C.T.N.L.M.I.T.S. seriously these days. Having revealed herself to be a world class attention whore and a grifter par excellence, I think most Americans probably see her self-serving diatribe for the silliness it represents.
[A.C.A.H.G.W.N.I.C.T.N.L.M.I.T.S.] told Fox News & Commentary that she found the card to be a bit unusual.
“It’s odd,” she said, wondering why the president’s Christmas card highlights his dog instead of traditions like “family, faith and freedom.”
…
[A.C.A.H.G.W.N.I.C.T.N.L.M.I.T.S.] said the majority of Americans can appreciate the more traditional, “American foundational values illustrated and displayed on Christmas cards and on a Christmas tree.”
As for the Obama card, she replied, “It’s just a different way of thinking coming out of the White House.”
Sure, if by “different” A.C.A.H.G.W.N.I.C.T.N.L.M.I.T.S. means, “an atheistic, socialistic, terrorist-sympathizing, anti-American, Jesus-hating way of thinking.”
I suppose an appropriate question would be why and how a dog is any less traditional than “family, faith, and freedom?” Millions of Americans send holiday/Christmas cards based on a similar theme? Why not just accept the card for what it is? OK, so perhaps it’s not what you might prefer, but that’s your opinion…and we all know what opinions are like, right?
Or is it just that A.C.A.H.G.W.N.I.C.T.N.L.M.I.T.S. is in the final throes of Obama Derangement Syndrome, which has been proven to make people impervious to truth, reason, and logic?
Sadly, there’s no cure for Obama Derangement Syndrome. Side-effects include a propensity to lapse into primal, unfocused rage, fits of self-righteous overblown religiosity…and a hankering for tea.
Happy Christhanukwanzaamas!!
