Greetings, my fellow port swillers!
Did you see the coverage over at Ace’s place the other day about the SJW snowflake who doesn’t want to be wished “Merry Christmas” because it’s a reminder that the holiday -whatever it’s become in this post-modernist nightmare world – is still rooted in Christianity and that’s doubleplus ungood wrongthink triggering to her?
We get closer to Christianity as Hate Crime every single day.
As a matter of fact, Ol’ Robbo pointedly says “Merry Christmas” whenever such seasonal exchange occurs. Yes, it is Christmas. It’s a celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior, which is exactly the reason for being merry in the first place. The person to whom I wish it is free to take it or leave it as they see fit, but I am not about to lose my identity just to humor them.
That’s in part why I always wear the ashes on Ash Wednesday, too.

I almost fainted last week when an *IRS employee* wished me Merry Christmas at the end of a call – and from the tone of her voice, was doing it very deliberately. Restored some of my faith in the world.

Well, I’ll give you a bit more basis for faith: On holy days of obligation that fall during the workweek, I usually take in the noon Mass at a downtown Dee Cee church a couple blocks from my office. It’s invariably packed, and there are many, many fed’ral ID badges in the pews.
