I'd better be getting a "Merry Christmas" and NOT a maudlin "Happy Holidays" there, Best Buy!
My friend, Warner Todd Huston, found and noted upon this over at Big Government (is there NO WHERE this "Sleep? Who needs sleep??" dude DOESN'T blog):
I have made the vow that if a retail establishment greets me with "Happy Holidays", then I will not spend my dollars with them; I no longer will stand for Political Correctness. At this time of the year, I would easily be correct in stating that the vast majority of retail sales (brick and morter, 'Net, catalog, et al) are oriented around a Christian Holiday - the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.
Now, am I enrmoured with the amount of commercialization around this time of year? Absolutely! Do I agree with the notion that the degree of money in the season has over-ridden the real reason? Yup! Do I agree that the Political Correctness is being used to push the real reason out of the public square? You bet.
This ad screams out - it's safe to mention a politically correct, protected class of folks - Muslims - but not the Christians for whom the ad is really for.
Oh, I'm betting that CAIR is going to have their panties in a bunch over this, but if you happen to have forgotten, we are still at war with their fundamentalist brothers who believe that either we all should convert and follow Shari'a law, follow a life of dhimmitude, or die.
