Hello, fellow soldiers. It's Michael Knowles here. A general in the war on Christmas. We are all part of Santa's army. Santa, I mean, you know, actually Santa does have a religious connection to the holiday, which is about the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the connection being that Santa's based on St. Nicholas. Anyway, there's very many interesting things to say about Christmas. And then there are a lot of uninteresting, stupid things to say about Christmas, which is what the Libs who are waging the war on Christmas say all the time. So here is our annual edition of the Liberals' latest talking points in the war on Christmas. Take it away. Briaena Taylor. It's a problem with the whole way of life. Can't change overnight. But we got to start somewhere. I might as well go ahead and start here.

We didn't have a hell of a year. I'm gonna make it can't. This one isn't even original. What is this? Because I guess it's supposed to be subversive in that they took a Christmas tree and they turned it into a BLM thing. But that's just a Kwanza decoration. I mean, all Kwanza is is a

Black Identitarian, a Black Liberation Movement guy who was a socialist, creating a socialist festival to try to replace Christmas. I wish you'd get out of my life and shut up. The guy gave himself the name Malana Karenga, but his real name's Ron Everett, and he was a Cal State Long Beach professor who was later arrested for torturing women and imprisoning them and doing all sorts of sick, crazy things to them. Dang. And he was a nut, and the holiday's ridiculous, and no one really celebrates it at all.

And BLM is just the latest version of that. I mean, they didn't even change the initialism from the Black Liberation Movement, BLM, to Black Lives Matter BLM. Angela Davis said it's the same thing. The people who are the inspiration of and the leaders of the Black Lives Matter movement all say this is the exact same thing as we saw in the 60s when some other wackos tried to replace Christmas with a socialist festival to whine about how black people are oppressed, which isn't even embraced by the majority of black people, nowhere near it. So, Zing, you got us, guys. Hmm. It's the celebration of a birth. That's why you don't like it.

It's true. You probably don't like Christianity or God or the moral order because you are persisting in something that we all know, including you, is obviously wrong. It's terrible to kill a baby. It's time to stop! But probably the reason that this fanatical pro-abortion person really hates Christmas is that it's the feast of the nativity.

It's about the birth of our Lord. Probably she would do a little bit better with really any other Christian feast. Michael Mess or, you know, Easter or something. But Feast of the Nativity is much harder. Christmas is a social construct upheld by the bourgeoisie in which they exploit the labor of proletarian workers and cut down trees to sell to society in a socially acceptable way to make room for industry. This is all very silly, you know, freshman year Marxism. Like, certainly this person, whoever wrote this, has never actually read Carl Marks, but has read maybe part of the Wikipedia page about Coral Marks or Capital or something.

This is good because I can barely read. The last part here is the silliest one. She says, it's so that society can cut down trees to make way for industry. They don't just cut down trees in the wilderness. You get your Christmas trees from tree farms. And when they cut them down, they don't pave it for a parking lot. They grow more trees. In fact, the tree.

Christmas tree industry is responsible for there being many more trees in the world because they're growing them because it's a sustainable renewable resource because there's a customer out there to buy it. So that part's very, very silly. A social construct. I mean, it's a social construct in that we live in a society and 2,000 years ago, a child was born in Bethlehem to a virgin, heralded by a star, and wise men came to worship him and pay him homage. And then that a child, 30 years after the fact, had a ministry, and then three years after that fell into his passion, was crucified, died and was buried, and he redeemed mankind on the cross and rose again on the third day in accordance with the scriptures and his kingdom of Hyde and no end.

And people recognize that immediately and continue to recognize that today and hail him as the Lord of Lords and King of Kings. Yeah, that's true. So that's social in that, you know, it's like people were part of that. And our Lord became a person and entered into society, dwelt among us.

Just a quick Christmas reminder that Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer is not a heartwarming movie.

It's a tale of how the ruling class only celebrates difference once they figure out how they can exploit it for personal gain. Side note, did you ever notice how literally every company changes their social media bio photo the day after Pride month ends? So weird. Yeah. The pride stuff is terrible and companies exploit it because they think they can make money from a degenerate and decadent society. But they know that most people don't like that for most of the rest of the years. They get rid of it. The point on Rudolph is a slightly better point for this guy, which is he's saying that people, when they don't adhere to the norms of society, are sometimes ostracized or pushed to the fringes.

But then the happy ending here is that the dentist elf and Rudolph get brought back into the fold and everyone's really happy. But he sees this is a really bad ending. Because he's viewing it through a Marxist lens, which is just the factory workers have figured out how to exploit the labor of the elf, dentist, and of Rudolph. But where he sees something very evil, I see something really beautiful. Where he sees something economic, I see something more fully human.

I'm so very, very sad. Which is that we are not merely individuals. This guy is coming from the position of a radical individualism that says he doesn't have any responsibility to his community, to community standards, to the moral order, to God, to any kind of behavior, just I'm going to do whatever I want, and that's that. And you better celebrate it, by the way.

I have no responsibility to you, but you have responsibilities to me. And what I see here, though, is the fact that man is actually a political animal and a social creature, and we are made for society. Men are not made to go off and live alone as atomized individuals. And so the happy ending here is that, yes, the elf dentist and Rudolph, they are a little bit different. And that's okay to be a little bit different. But you have to figure out how you fit in, even with your differences, to society. Or else you'll be cut off from what is required for your flourishing, which is society.

So it's a good thing. They found their way to fit back in. So this is Bethlehem. Who's in the Christmas spirit? Seems to me, since this is what Christmas is going to look like in Palestine this year, and since we were going to boycott capitalism anyway, and we were going to boycott all the companies on the BDS list, seems to me the perfect opportunity to celebrate the birthday

of the most famous Palestinian who ever lived from this little town of Bethlehem to make a big, big, big noise internationally for Palestine. I don't know about you, but I'm a little cheesed off that Palestine Day just came and went, and we didn't hear about that, like weeks in advance. At the UN made a single announcement about it any time during the ongoing genocide,

we would have been in every major city across America and across the world protesting. It seems to me that this time we got a whole month to plan. I don't know about you, but all I want for Christmas is a free Palestine. No, I'd like some hot cocoa, spend some time with my family, maybe go to midnight mass. That'd be nice. The talking point that keeps recurring here is that Jesus was a Palestinian. First of all, any time you say Jesus was, you're probably missing the mark because the big takeaway from the story is that he is.

But they're not familiar with the Gospels. And the way I know that is that the synoptic gospels begin with a genealogy of our Lord that shows quite clearly he is ethnically, tribally, a Jew in the line of King David, actually of all people. And he does not descend from the Philistines. That's not the lineage. You can have all sorts of views on the Israel-Palestine conflict. But to say, yeah, Jesus is a cause for Palestinian Muslim political.

liberation. What on earth are you talking about? You don't just get to rewrite Christianity for that. And you don't get to let Hamas totally off the hook. Good grief. These people. Dumb people are always blissfully unaware of how dumb they really are. I guess one silver lining of the libs just being completely distracted this year is their usual attacks on Christmas as, you know, a pagan holiday or whatever. They've ignored those to make some other stupid point about Middle Eastern national politics. Okay. Fala la la la la la la la. La. the horse with brows of hurry.
