Why do liberals hate Christmas?
922345
If it helps, I am a liberal and do not think Christmas should be about anything other than God and Jesus (well, maybe Mary).  Let's respect religious holidays for the distinct and beautiful experiences that they are, whether we observe them or not.

People should definitely be allowed to say "Merry Christmas" if they want to.  But the point is, stores do have customers who don't celebrate Christmas, and Christmas is a religious holiday.  So if a store like Walmart wants to be inclusive of all holidays, why can't they?  What's wrong with "Happy Holidays?"  It includes Christmas.  Christmas is the religion of the majority, but the majority of people are also white.  Should Walmart say "Merry Christmas, White People" ?  Of course not!  There is nothing wrong with an inclusive sentiment.  Bill O'Reilly is wrong on this one. Happy holidays is a sentiment that speaks to the majority and the minorities -- what's wrong with that?  Seriously -- some people don't believe in Christ or in Christmas -- why no be inclusive of all in this season?  It's completely wrong to punish stores for trying to send a message that is religion-neutral and in general good spirits.

because liberals pretend to be open minded and expect everyone else to be open minded, but your view is opposed to thier view, they lost thier open mindedness and replace it with hatred because they are smarter than everyone else so everyone else should follow thier view.

I'm not racist or anything like that but I strongly agree with you, I don't know what country you are in but here in the UK specially where I live near the bottom of the country. There is so many people, none of them care about helping the people back in their own countries, they just wanna come here and take over everything.. we have to give them respect but we aren't allowed to say Christmas lights.. now it's winter lights.. They are destroying our religion.. we use them for Christmas and so it's Christmas lights.. They're allowed to say whatever they want but we aren't, if they do something to us it's our fault, if we do it to them then we're racist.. stupid. I think we need to call get together and help their countries out.. then they'll have no reason or excuse to come over here.

Liberals hate Conservatives because Conservatives know the difference between right and wrong and call out Liberals on their actions. No one likes to be told that they are wrong or what they are doing is wrong.\n\nAs a Conservative, I get aggrivated when Liberals think they know all of life's answers and they act like intellectuals when actually they are not very smart.

All of a sudden the view has changed that if you're liberal you hate America.  Why?  I just don't understand this rationale!  Just because we will not accept civil rights abuse, pointless deaths caused by war and harm to our environment?  To me, these things sound like GOOD things for our country, no matter the political party.\n\nI hate that people think that Liberals hate our troops overseas too.  I don't hate our troops at all, actually I support them.\n\nI support them in coming home from this waste of a war!

It is the biggest reason I think, and from there the reasons go down hill.\n\n1)  We support another country so they hate us (Israel is the most common answer).\n\n2)  We don't like to give money away without strings.  They hate strings being attached to money so they resent us for telling them how to spend our money.\n\n3)  They disagree with our values.  Oddly enough they'd hate liberals even more for their open ways, but they view America as morally corrupt.

liberals hate america, for one, becasue this is an open, free-ranging place where liberals feel that not enough is done to help the weak. and the strong are free to make money and go about their business. for another, liberals know the truth why we are there, its all about the money, (the oil), as all wars are. so what? we have to protect our energy source and our fantastic lifestyle.

Good, deep, question, my friend.\n\nLiberals (not as individuals, but overall as a group) hate Jesus and Christianity for two reasons.  One, they worship Bill Clinton, so there is no room for another diety in their world.  Two, the word of Jesus teaches morality, responsibility, honesty, and self-determination.  That all runs completely counter to everything liberals believe in.\n\nSorry liberals.  I hate to call you out like that, but look at your heroes and tell me they aren't a bit challenged in these areas (the Clintons, the Kennedys, Michael Moore...).

Because many of them are giant hipocrites.  It's the only day of the year that they consider themselves Christians and they "need" the hoopla to get into the "spirit".  The spirit of what?? Trading gifts with everyone and asking for new games?  That's the spirit?  I think not.   Honest Christians find the commercialism of Christmas sickening and it gets worse every year.  Ironically, all these once a year, self-appointed "Christians," will be the first to mock a believer and ridicule us for practicing our faith all throughout the year.  I stay away from the pomp and circumstance of the season and focus on what the event is really about, commemorating the birth of our Savior.

"They" are called "liberals because their scope of concern expands to include everyone (Jesus was one of the first Liberals). Most liberals even have compassion for jerrks like you too!

They just don't like what President Bush is doing right now with the War on Iraq,   They know that everything is going great with the economy, and that just drives them crazy.  Liberals seem to think more than act.

No, no. I was just thinking about this today actually! I really dislike this holiday. Thanksgiving, I can take. Christmas, I hate Christmas. I hate sappy Christmas music played up until Christmas Day --and then sometimes afterward as well!! It's like Chinese water torture all the way up until Christmas Day. I was in Borders, Old Navy, Barnes and Noble, and Atlanta Bread Co. today, I could not escape the Christmas music!! And it's still November. I hate when crossing the street people nearly mow you over in their SUVs, with a fancy little wreath attached to the grill!! I hate how people sack the stores searching for gifts for people they would otherwise ignore the rest of the year. I especially dislike how people decide that Christmas is the one time to buy people they love meaningful gifts. Love and meaning should infuse everyday of one's life. Not just one day out of the year. If I see a coat or a scarf or a toy that I know a member of my family would love, I buy it then and give it to them. I don't horde it for weeks or months and then shove it in some wrapping and slap it under a tree. :( But that's me!

Because they're uninformed people who don't understand that Christmas was never even started for the birth of Jesus. His b-day was in a completely different season, and the Christians took the holiday from Pagans and gave it their own meaning and name. You probably know that, that's just for people who think Christmas actually has anything to do with Christ.

The liberal demoncraps hate this country.  They want to steal and shape it into a pseudo-socialist/communist state controlled country of their own.  \nIt is not the right; rather it’s the extremist left wing pushing their atheist fundamentalism onto the people through school indoctrination and media manipulation.  \nWhile pretending to be tolerant, they only portray Christians as criminals and kooks in TV shows and movies.  They deny it was freedom OF, not FROM religion that made this country so great.\nThey claim to be tough on crime but only attack the 2nd amendment rights of the (law abiding) people because they know they can take over easier if the people aren’t armed.  Hitler and Stalin and Franco did the same.\n\nPersonally, I think a vote for Anyone (D)* is a vote against the USA. \n*(Dishonest, Deceptive, Demeaning, Disrespectful, Disingenuous, Duplicitous, Diabolic, Disparaging, Delusional, Disloyal, Delusive, Double-dealing, Defiling, Desecrating, and Dangerous)
