If I were a Christian, or even celebrated Christmas, I'd be relieved.

Focus on the Family is just mad that all that money is changing hands and they aren't getting a big enough share into the old coffers.

Goober, you know of FOTF? Well, how you have improved in my esteem, even if you didn't want to.

Taint: STFU. Crass commercialism RUNS this country. Kill it and we'll be eating dirt like the North Koreans. Don't tell people that Xmas isn't about tinsel, twinkly strings, and outdoor displays to best their neighbors. They might actually get a fucking clue. Even as a...lapsed pre-Christian...I recognize the spiritual significance of other holidays.

Why be so narrow in your approach? How many others than Americans wallow in cheapening capitalist filth?

You don't cry at emotionally manipulative Hallmark commercials. You do not light candles except in reverence of something other than Chanukhah or OUR FALLEN SOLDIERS. You are unpatriotic. I am reporting you to the FBI.

Pale, honey, you're supposed to taper off your meds. Now why don't you go take a nice nap?

When I was overseas with the Navy, the FOTF Radio Show was on twice a day on Armed Forces Radio. I have heard just about all that bullshit with important lessons in how the wife needs to get her act straight and be more accommodating to her husband.

And Paul Harvey still gives me the sweats too. Fucking AFR!

I used to hear AFR all the time when I was working in the Antarctic. I don't recall much propaganda - just lots of incredibly innocuous music and blather.
