Whiny "Christians" Disgrace Xmas
12/08/2005
My wife listens to Coast to Coast AM at night (1170 KFAQ, Tulsa); she enjoys the scientific quacks, the conspiracy nuts, the UFO talk and the crazy stories. Sometimes she leaves the radio on all night, falling asleep to the soothing sounds of midnight callers and bumper music.
I usually sleep through it. However, when I awaken, because she left the radio on my brain is assaulted with the bitching, moaning, and hate-filled ultraconservative whining of KFAQ's regular programming.
KFAQ is a station that believes FOX Radio is too 'liberal.' Their tagline is "The average caller sounds like Dale from King of the Hill. If you don't believe me, give it a listen. If you aren't looking for a reason to externalize some good-ol' pent-up religious-inspired hate, you'll probably want to vomit after about 5 minutes of listening to KFAQ.
This morning their 'personalities' were complaining about how 'liberals' are now conspiring to destroy Christmas by taking the word "Christ" out of the holiday. Suddenly, everybody's saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas." OH NO! 'Liberals' are changing the lyrics to our musical Christmas treasures! HEAVENS NO!
I'm pretty sure people have been saying "Happy Holidays" for many, many years now. They've also been saying "Yule Tide Greetings" and "Happy Hannukah," too. I supose a church on every fucking street corner and a Congressman in every bedroom isn't enough. I don't hear them bitching when Wal-Mart, Overstock.com and other big corporations hijack their 'sacred songs' for their clever little holiday commercials. I don't hear them crying out to save Christmas from the hypocritical mass-consumer culture we have become. No. That's too complicated. Gotta keep the enemies simple, the lines very narrow. Blame it all on the liberals at all costs. Don't think. Just do. Follow Bill O'Reilly. Bow to Savage and DiGiorno. Turn off useless brain. Ugh.
I don't know a single liberal who wants to "destroy Christmas." I'm not a Christian, but I think everybody has the right to worship and celebrate as they see fit. I also think that people who don't want to recognize "Christ" as the "reason for the season" should not be persecuted by these fools who seem to be salivating for another reason to hate.
Where is the Prince of Peace when you need him, lol?
"We're so oppressed! We're being persecuted again! Waaahh!" "They're burning Christmas at the stake!"
IMHO, KFAQ is maybe two steps above the soapboxing at a KKK rally, and is the greatest embarrassment on the airwaves Tulsa has to offer. I wish I had kinder words to offer, but I don't. I'd really like to dedicate this classic to KFAQ. Because they don't fucking deserve Christmas.

You’re right. These hate mongers are themselves destroying Christmas. I’m Catholic myself. I wish people a Merry Christmas and I’m not offended when people wish me a Happy Chanukah or, if I’m really lucky, a Happy Kwanza (it could happen).
Next time someone gets offended when offered a “Happy Holidays” feel free to point out that December 25th began as a pagan holiday. The Roman Church used this date to mark the birth of Christ to prevent early converts from continuing to dabble in paganism. Pagans always celebrated the start of the winter season. By taking December 25th as Christ’s Mass it forced early converts to choose, and stop them from attending both parties so to speak.
Christianity has no room for hate; only forgiveness, tolerance and acceptance.
Merry Christmas
