Re: Joe Guzzardi's Column:
To My Agnostic, Atheist, Jewish and Muslim Friends:
Merry Christmas! [4]
Please don't lump people like me in
with
Muslims [24],
Jews [25], or
anti-Christian unbelievers. [26]
And especially don't group me with
the politically correct mentally ill. I'm an atheist,
but often I'm the first to wish someone a Merry
Christmas.
Usually it's the
poor store clerk or call-center employee [27] on the
other end of the phone that was instructed not to use
"Christmas" to his customers.
Why do I say
"Merry Christmas?" [28]
Because that's the name of the
holiday! And since most people in the Western
civilization that I so cherish celebrate it, why not?
If I know the person I'm speaking to
is Jewish, then I'll wish them
"Happy Hanukkah." [2] It's not my place, or anyone
else's, to take away somebody's holiday.
Merry Christmas to all of you at
VDARE.COM! [29]
