Please, please, no more "War on Christmas" threads!
They're all about something or other so dumb that they are starting to make my head ache.

There's pretty much a 99% consensus here that it's all a figment of Bill O'Lielly & Jerry Fatwell's imaginations, right?

1. No. We are actually at war and making good progress
That's what I was told last night at our huge atheist rally.

10. The thread to end all threads.
I kinda like the threads especially the ones that point to good articles refuting the whole concept. My boss, a fox news kool aid drinker angrily insisted that the party we are having be called Christmas party so I like when it is refuted.

7. I agree. The "war" is a good example of the RW creating strawman
arguments. The left does this and the left does that. All lies.

As stated in a few other places here, we have to reject the premise.

20. How about a "War on Idiot Commentators" and others suffering
from attention-seeking personality disorder.

22. Yes, But
I agree that this is a HANNITY-O'LOOFAH-GIBSON noise, which has even been said ON Faux by Faux commentator Neal GABLER on FauxWatch.

However, this request, "No more ____ threads," will likely result in "Don't tell me what to post..."

For my part, I would like to see 1) No more erratic, late-night threads from ME, and

2) No more same-topic, high-response threads on topics I myself had previously posted with a fair amount of time and effort expended in tracking down solid links, registering on sites to get them, and painstakingly highlighting and selecting gem-like excerpts...with thread-killed results! Haha.
