A Christmas Miscellany

Gene Lalor | December 4, 2009 

There’s so much important news swirling about, it’s a challenge to try to separate the wheat from the chaff. 

Obvious and irrelevant chaff is Chelsea’s engagement to the son of another criminal, the White House party crashers, John Gotti beating another rap, Tiger Woods and his various “transgressions,” and just about anything President Obama says.

However, there are significant things happening, even if they sometimes get lost in the news shuffle, and some relate to the Christmas season that is upon us:

The Christmas Comeback: Merry Christmas  After too many years of listening to the humbuggers’ relentless campaign to ban Christmas in favor of the generic Holidays, at least some retailers have gotten the message that, “Yes, Virginia, this IS a Christian country,” despite Barack Hussein’s protestations to the contrary.

Since before its inception, this Christian country has celebrated Christmas, not the winter solstice and, thanks to the silent majority finally rising up and advising Christmas pofiteers of that fact, Wal-mart, K-mart and Sears, among others have wakened up to smell the holly.

J. Crew Outfitters, Albertsons, American Girl, also among others, have chosen to stay pagan and continue to ignore the reason for the season, the birth of Jesus Christ. 

For a full list of the “naughty,” the Christmas deniers, as well as the “nice,” the Christmas celebrators, do see the tally of both compiled by the Liberty Counsel at http://bit.ly/4fvSjl.

Check it over and maybe do the rest of your holiday Christmas shopping at stores worth shopping.

D.C. Christmas Cheer: the category Christmas  Meanwhile, in Washington, Obama is proving he’s no Scrooge when it comes to laying out BIG taxpayer bucks in recognition of the holidays.

Poor Dubya was regularly and roundly criticized by the MSM for golfing, fishing, and vacationing during wartime. 

With the annual holiday tree shining brightly outside, President Teflon gets a free media pass for his hosting 28 “holiday gatherings, 17 “holiday parties,” and 11 “open house events” during December.

This is all during wartime and while the nation’s families struggle to put dinner on the table and a few “happy hamsters” under the tree.

Put more elegantly, “While  millions of Americans will try to prepare some sort of Christmas dinner with whatever they can buy with food stamps, President Obama, along with his family and friends, will feast on caviar and champagne:” http://bit.ly/6WRcjZ

Who ever said the Democrats weren’t the “party of the people?”  It all depends on what people we’re talking about, no?

She’s Out at the Obama Inn:  With his half-brother still barely subsisting in a Nairobi suburban hovel on a buck a week, now comes the cheerless news that Zeituni Onyango, Barack’s 57 year old aunt who is the half-sister of his late father, is “living in anguish” in Beantown.

Whether she’s really then his half- or quarter-aunt or not, the woman is upset that Obama, or Michelle, or Sasha or Malia–her only American family–have made no effort “to reach out to her” since she attended the inauguration last January.

I mean, seriously, this poor woman is not much better off than George Hussein Onyango Obama,  George Hussein Onyango Obama  another nephew, in that Kenyan suburb. 

Well, she does have a nicer roof over her head and, no doubt, a 32-inch Samsung and all the other amenities enjoyed by America’s poor, disenfranchised lot but her appeal for asylum is still undecided and her half- or quarter- nephew has done diddlesquat to help her.

Not that she wants him to, although she would like some family togetherness. 

Obama swore a month before his election that he didn’t know she was in the U.S. so Aunt Zeituni’s residency must have come as a real shocker.

As she says, “It’s not easy.”  However, considering Ms. Onyango shouldn’t be in this country in the first place, she seems to be doing okay.  You see, she’s an illegal, one of those millions squatting in this country, as well as disabled from Guillain-Barre Syndrome. 

Nevertheless, Grinchy half- or quarter- nephew Barack said the law must be followed and Aunt Zeituni must be sent packing even if her Obama connection could bolster her case for legal immigrant status: http://bit.ly/5bL1Fu

The millions of Obama’s non-relative illegals here not only can stay but will be entitled to Obamacare when it becomes law.

Such familial attachment during the Christmas season! 

Filling Glenn Beck’s Christmas Stocking: Stuffed Christmas Stocking  Conservative radio-television commentator and organizer of the September 12th taxpayer march on Washington Glenn Beck Glenn Beck  learned early on that our new president was as thin-skinned as he was big-eared.

Compounding his very presence on the Fox News Channel, of which the administration does not approve because it does for conservatives what CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, and NBC all do for Democrats, Beck made an ill-advised observation during the Louis Gates brouhaha last summer.

His comment was right on target and it was only ill-advised because Beck had a brain lapse and forgot PC for a moment.  He opined that, “I’m not saying he [Obama] doesn’t like white people, I’m saying he has a problem.  This guy is, I believe, a racist.”

First of all, Mr. Beck should have been aware, as Jesse Jackson has told us, that black people simply can’t be racists. 

Second of all, he should have known that it’s not nice to speak the truth about this president even if he did shoot from the hip and condemn Cambridge cop James Crowley as acting “stupidly” in last summer’s Crowley-Louis Gates dustup.

Oblivious of the details of Gates’ arrest, Obama reacted spontaneously, viscerally, and racially by ripping the white police officer and defending his buddy, Gates, and his subsequent beer blast for the two didn’t change any of that.

Well, more aware than Beck of the power and venom of this White House, various big name advertisers bailed on Beck.

However, again back to Virginia, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus.”  Santa made good for Beck by filling his stocking with a bunch of “B list” advertisers after Infiniti, Procter and Gamble, Progressive Insurance, and a host of other gutless marketers dumped Beck and fled.

Knowing where they get most bang for their advertising buck, they didn’t flee very far.  They switched to other Fox shows while abandoning Glenn Beck’s 2.6 million viewers, a number up from 2.1 million since his “racist” remark: http://bit.ly/4pPgtU

It will be a long haul to take back Christmas from the likes of J. Crew and Obama but it’s more than worth the effort.
