The Christmas Defense Kit--A perfect gift for the War on Christmas!

I found this story through ThinkProgress, and I'll admit that I'm dumbfounded. I know that the War on Christmas has been raging within the delusional minds of Fox commentators Bill O'Reilly, John Gibson, and even Michelle Malkin. But I never expected that you could get a Christmas Defense Kit to prepare you for that good fight in the War on Christmas.

Yes, you heard me--a Christmas Defense Kit! What is a Christmas Defense Kit? Let's go to the World Net Daily News online store, which is selling these Christmas Defense Kits like...well...holiday fruitcakes?

It's coming!

You know it's coming.

Like clockwork, the American Civil Liberties Union grinches will be out in force punishing those erecting Nativity displays, extending Christmas greetings and otherwise exercising their God-given, First Amendment-protected rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

But now you can fight back – and you don't need a lawyer to do it.

Just check out WND's online store for your personal "Christmas-defense kit." What you'll find are three choices of bumper stickers:

* "This is America! And I'm going to say it: 'Merry Christmas!'"

* "It is STILL a wonderful life – Merry Christmas!"

* "Merry Christmas! An American Tradition"

They're all magnetized for seasonal use. Buy them separately or all together. Use them this year, next year and for many years to come.

In addition, there's the "Reason for the Season Auto Magnets," also perfect for your refrigerator or office file cabinet or desk. Part of every purchase goes to Christian charities.

It's the perfect way to make your statement this Christmas – that Jesus is the reason for the season. Buy one, buy 25, buy 50!

There's one more component of your Christmas-defense kit: It's the "Operation: Just Say 'Merry Christmas' Bracelet." They make great stocking stuffers, but why wait! Make your feelings about Christmas known to one and all. Wear them to pick up the kids, when you buy groceries and when you go to work. They're guaranteed to ward off the evil spirits of the ACLU grinches.

Get your order in now, because Christmas will be upon you before you know it.

And, if you think it's just too early to worry about the anti-Christmas onslaught, go on the offensive now and proclaim the true meaning of Thanksgiving. After all, it's not really about pilgrims and turkeys -- it's about thanking God for all the blessings in our lives.

Check out WND's "Christmas-defense kit" now.

I went on to World Net Daily's store, and downloaded the pictures of the magnetic bumper stickers and the bracelet. You can pick up a 3-pack of the magnetic bumper stickers for $14.95, or a single bumper sticker for $5.95 each:

The War on Christmas bracelet can be yours for only $2.00 each:

And if you're so anxious to become a Christian foot soldier in the War on Christmas, but can't wait until December, well, the World Net Daily store also has the War on Thanksgiving magnetic bumper sticker for only $5.95:

The War on Thanksgiving Magnetic Bumper Sticker.

And even more, according to the World Net Daily website:

"This is just about the nicest bumper sticker I've ever seen." - Joseph Farah

This Thanksgiving season (and every Thanksgiving season from now on), remind the world of what this distinctively American holiday is all about, with this beautiful magnetic bumper sticker.

It says, "Remember to thank Him. Happy Thanksgiving."


I'm trying to think of some type of comment or analysis on this, but I can't. There is this level of absurdity here that is just incredible. Who buys this stuff? Who is so angry enough that they are willing to make a political statement about Christmas?

Then there are those who are profiting in this War on Christmas. The people who created this merchandise at World Net Daily really have two agendas here. The first, obviously, is to continue this political deception of screaming how Christmas is being destroyed by liberals--a deception that meant to create a sense of victimization in order to maintain political power and control of hard-lined conservatives and the Religious Right by the conservative elite. It is about maintaining GOP political power and control of the Religious Right vote. The second agenda is to economically profit from the Religious Right. Here we have all these wonderful symbols to show your support for the War on Christmas--all for a price. The marketing strategy is brilliant--the evil liberals are going to destroy Christmas! Buy this bumper sticker in order to stop the evil liberals from destroying Christmas! I'm sure that there are plenty of World Net Daily readers who are getting sucked into this scam, and have parted their Christmas dollars for this junk. The funny thing is that there really is a War on Christmas--a war that is being won by marketers, toy manufacturers, and Big Business constantly demanding that the American consumer spend even more money, shopping earlier, for Christmas gifts. It is not the evil liberals that are destroying the meaning of Christmas, but rather Big Business' desire to commercialize Christmas. Then again, I doubt that the Fox News War on Christmas foot soldiers could ever understand that lesson.
