Is it Xmasween time already, kids? Not if the furious Christians of Loudoun County, Virginia have anything to say about it! A holiday display on the courthouse lawn featuring a crucified Santa skeleton was reduced to ruins thanks to a bilious outpouring of fury from the Jesus people, and more specifically because one enraged woman stopped by to personally tear it apart. The point of the display according to the artist was to “depict society’s materialistic obsessions and addictions and how it is killing the peace, love, joy and kindness that is supposed to be prevalent during the holiday season,” which is naturally a sentiment deeply offensive to Christians, because of Santa being one of the original twelve apostles and, uh… what else, mall shopping being a holy sacrament? Anyway, more importantly, WHO IS TO BLAME FOR ALLOWING THIS ABOMINATION IN THE FIRST PLACE???
Hahahaha, it’s the easy answer: Christians did!
Leesburg Today reports on this hilarious “whoops” move by the nutters:
The debate over the courthouse displays began in November 2009, when the county’s Courthouse Grounds Facility Committee decided to no longer allow any displays–including the manger scene that usually was displayed at the corner of King and Market streets–on the grounds during the holiday season. Public outcry ensued, including calls that the decision was infringing on residents’ religious freedom, and the Board of Supervisors a few days later overturned the committee decision, saying all displays were welcome on the courthouse grounds. County Attorney John R. Roberts advised the board its options were to allow all displays, or none, and that they could not limit displays based on content.
Under rules adopted by the Board of Supervisors, 10 displays have been allowed in 10 specific locations on the courthouse grounds, with applications accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until all the spots are taken. This year, all of the applications were submitted by March and a majority of them came from atheists or those promoting “reason over religion” this holiday season. Two displays will promote the “Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.”
The Xmasween Santa may not have survived, but residents will still be able to enjoy some of these fine displays that also made the list by virtue of being submitted on time:
• A sign showing a picture of the Easter Bunny, Santa and Jesus Christ with text that states, “Myths for Young and Old,” a quote from Thomas Edison and information about the Loudoun Atheists, submitted by Leesburg resident Emmert Elsea.
• A banner with the text “Celebrating our Constitution” and language about keeping church and state separate, submitted by Leesburg resident Rick Wingrove. The banner comes from American Atheists and NOVA Atheists.
• A banner promoting “reason in the holiday season,” submitted by Lansdowne resident Larry Mendoza.
• A holiday display that will either be a Tree of Knowledge or a holiday message sign, from Sterling resident Lydia Rice.
Sneaky atheists, thinking about Christmas back in March before all those holiday ads go up to remind everyone to buy more shit. It’s almost like cheating! [Leesburg Today/The Friendly Atheist]

Crucified Santa rises from the dead just in time for Christmas? I think I've seen that movie.
Looks like the Fat man has lost a few pounds! I heard the Reindeer were going to charge him a higher ticket rate for being over weight
and no more than 3 ounces of hooch in his hip flask, or it'll be "Ho Ho Ho JESUS!! – TAKE YOUR FUCKING RINGS OFF BEFORE YOU STICJ YOUR HAND UP THERE!!!, courtesy of the TSA (aka the Probey Elves)
Goatse? Is that you, dood?
Silent Night, Deadly Night is always a holiday favorite
You should check out Santa's Slay. Goldberg burns off Fran Drescher's face with scalding soup and then decapitates her.
Fun for the whole family!
And, the "red" on Rudolph's nose? Human blood.
Weekend at Bernie's: Holiday Special
…then he sees his shadow and goes back into his cave for another six weeks…
He gave you presents; now he WANTS YOUR BLOOD!
Seems like a fair trade.
Maye Skeletal Santa can be Jeff Dunham's new puppet, and have hilarious conversations with Achmed the Dead Terrorist while we try to ignore Dunhams moving lips.
I thought Dunham was the joke.
If I want to see a crucified Santa, I'll go to Japan, thank you very much.
http://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/cross.as…
Which will it be, dood? Great minds think alike? Or small minds seldom differ?
Or COMMENTERS SHOULD FUCKING READ EVERY COMMENT BEFORE COMMENTING!!!!!
Sorry. I'll be OK. Breathe. Breathe deep.
The point of the display according to the artist was to “depict society’s materialistic obsessions and addictions and how it is killing the peace, love, joy and kindness that is supposed to be prevalent during the holiday season…"
WALMART AMURKINS R NOT AMUSED!
This is central to my point. Also, this. Furthermore, and such as.
~
That second one must be great to dance with.
BackRack, FTW!
Those back boobs have haunted my nightmares since I first saw them.
I mean, WHO the FUCK ties those things together to make them stand out more?
Those aren't back boobs. Those are the wings of a Teatard angel.
Oh, jodyleek, you so BAD.
At least I'll be laughing through my nightmares, now.
(She tied them together! With blue string!)
Is the second one Newt?
The back-boobs are hypnotizing. They are so perfectly symmetrical.
Am I a bad person because I really want a reddish brown marker to put proper nipples on those?
Bah. On my daily walks I see hundreds of "flat Santas", and snowmen and probably even Jebuses, lighten up frothers. It's the holidays.
They frighten my dog on our walks. The
nervehorror…Maybe the Christians were just angry because the display of the Roman murder instrument that they believe was used to torture and execute their savior is supposed to be a symbol for happy celebrations of Easter, not Christmas.
So you're saying that a crucified Easter Bunny would be OK with the Xtards? I look forward to testing this theory.
Santa H. Christ on a cross, you can't make those Christians happy.
Onward Christmas Soldiers.

♫♪ …And I was 'round when Santa Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Prancer
Licked his hands and pulled his sleigh… ♫♪
Shouldn't that be "pulled his slain"?
To, you know, rhyme and stuff.
If the Stones can rhyme "pain" with "fate", then I can sure as hell rhyme "pain" with "sleigh".
'MURICAN EXCEPSHUNALIZM!!
little known fact:
The "H" in "Santa H. Christ" actually stands for "Hanukkah"
So Jeebus became Santa when he retired?
I like that idea…a wiser, kinder, less angry Jeebus, seasoned by age.
Jeebus was mostly OK and not-angry, except at the truly disgusting people like money changers (I'm looking at you, Republicans) and stuff. But, yeah, I like the idea of Santa Jeebus.
So Big J fattened up, and decided to work with the money-changers; a Xmas lesson for everyone!
Wow! Bonus points for creativity, Swampgas_Man!
After all, Santa gets us to buy all those gifts the capitalists profit from, RIGHT?
Jeebus is Hebrew for Rudolph.
Ha ha! These folks SO need to see the Santa vs. Jesus South Park episode.
Hooray for the internets! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSQczYEeB2w
oh thanks so much for that, it's a tradition that we watch this episode every holiday season, at Kwanzika (Dad always ends up snortin' eggnog out his nose, good times!)
Santa died for your gifts ,and came back 3 days later with a crew of Zombie Reindeer,and were seen by many.
Brilliant.
Oh great. You've given away the season 2 ending for "The Walking Dead." SPOILER.
Every fucking year with this shit. If these hillbillies want to put up Crimbo decorations so badly, they should move some of the broken down cars off their lawns and put the nativity scenes there.
Baby Jesus… in the ass end of a rusty, up on blocks 67 Chevy Pick up… With the 3 wise Racoons gathered around… I like it.
3 wise racoons… I know a taxidermist who will give you a good deal on that.
If they were all that wise, they wouldn't have ended up stuffed. But who's gonna know, right?
It would look nice next to the truck tire planter.
Absolutely no joke: my Texass relatives have a defunct toilet in the back yard, which they merrily string up with Christmas lights in December. Actually, the lights are on it all year. They just turn them on in December. In Jesus's name we pray, Amen.
"Hey look at the calendar… it's December already! Jimmy Joe Bob… time to duct tape that cord together again."
Sweet Christ. Nobody ever gets overly drunk and pukes down that thing, do they? Or a sudden attack of alcohol-inspired diarrhoea?
Sure they do, but the twice-yearly rain seems to clean it out real purrty.
I was going to say "Oh, Jesus," like I usually do, but somehow that just sounds so … wrong.
Gives "worship the porcelain god" a new gloss, doesn't it?
Oh, I don't know, I think those filthy plastic wise men with the 15-watt light bulbs look good intermingled with '79 Monte Carlos.
Hillbillies???? We here in LOCO ( Loudoun County) are full of HOA's, I can't even put a goddamn pink flamingo in my front yard without getting fined. But these bitches can hang a cross in front of the court house without setting it on fire and all they do is rip the skeleton santa off it? Christ, I mean what would Jesus do, holy shit, did I just type all of that. What an imbecile.
Remember this date people 12/06/2011. The War of Christmas, the first shot his been fired.
One day before the remembrance of the Germans bombing Pearl Harbor.
Which is a good time to consider buying Newt Gingrich's book!
I've considered it.
Nah.
Wait a minute. Papa Bush said Pearl Harbor was on September 7th.
"Today, you remember. I wonder how many Americans remember. Today is Pearl Harbor Day. Forty-seven years ago to this very day, we were hit and hit hard at Pearl Harbor and we were not ready," Bush said.
"Freedom is on the march… Did I say Sept. 7? Sorry about that–Dec. 7, 1941, 47 years."
all religious freedom is equal but some religious freedom is more equal than others.
This is Christmas! Whaddya think yer doin', letting atheists, muzzies, Jews and other commie socialist godless nazi heathens ram their rights to free speech down our throats???!!!!!????f11?
From the comments; The Santa on the cross seems to qualify as a Hate Crime, not Free Speech to be protected.
I shit you not.
Elf Libel!!
I hope the same moron is cataloging his local churches for similar hate crimes.
Someone needs to learn exactly what a hate crime is.
I will cite the Wingnut to English Dictionary for this one:
Hate Crime
n. Anything that makes a white Christian heterosexual male uncomfortable.
So is it a hate crime to point out that Tim Teabow is a shitty quarterback who's very lucky to be on a team with a great defense?
Oh, God, we humbly beseech Thee… of all the supplications addressing the world's many needs, please grant the request of a handful of oversized millionaires and give us a FIELD GOAL!
But the real kick in the nuts, is he keeps winning games.
I have to believe that John Elway has put a bounty out on him.
No, no. The hate crime, i.e., "anything that makes a white Christian heterosexual male uncomfortable", is the erection said male gets whenever he watches Timothy Richard take the field.
Really? How do get Hate crime from that display? This should be Interesting!
Maybe he never got any good presents and so he hates the Claus.
But if the cross were burning, no probs.
I have hated Santa since the fucker didn't bring me the Hot Wheels racing set like I wanted.
Fucker hasn't ever brought me a single thing, and that's a hate crime. It's not like he couldn't find the house either; you could see the menorah in our window from three blocks away.
Perfect.
Maybe the Chanukah Bush was blocking it.
Funny, it doesn't look Yewish.
Oy, and for that you want Christmas presents? What, you didn't get enough gelt at Hanukah?
Hanging an imaginary character on a cross depicting another likely imaginary character is a hate crime?…Jesus save me!
12 days – OF TERROR!
silent night, deadly night:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph2qpWw7nZI
Santa Kills!
On the first day of terror my bagger brought to me…
a cartridge in a bare tree.
Brilliant. Would steal again.
On the second day of terror my gyno brought to me…
two fertile loves
and a cartridge in a bare tree.
ZOMG. I can't even dip a toe in. Carry on, fellas, you're doing FINE!
On the third day of terror my— Oh no, Santa! What are you doing in here? Oh no, what are you doing– Santa! Help! Nooo!!! Why are you–?! Aaaaaaackk!!!!!
It would have all been fine if the artist had the foresight to have the skelly Santa carry a big honking .50 cal machine gun while he was buggering a tender Senate page. Then the Jeebus folks would have understood it was a display sponsored by Virginia Republicans
When the fundie conservatives* put up their little imaginary fetus-graveyard with the little white crosses and such on the lawn of our local Catholic Church, somebody came and messed that shit up, too.
But I'm pretty sure it was just kids on BMX bikes, thinking it would make a rad slalom course.
(*Same assholes who just got Harry Potter banned from my kid's school library.)
Have your kid bring in a copy of "Naked Lunch" and watch the zany antics.
JK, of course. I would never endanger a child.
I don't know how old Lascaux' kids are, but I read Naked Lunch when I was 13. My parents thought it was "science fiction" and the nuns didn't even notice.
My kid is 11. She just really wants read harry Potter is all.
Oddly enough, one of the Harry Potter books was her most recent majorly overdue dad-is-getting-pissed-just-find-the-damn-book-and-return-it-OR-NO-MORE-LIBRARY-PRIVILEGES-book! (We go through this scene about 5 times every school year.) The really dumb part is we have all the Harry Potter books at home already.
That's funny. I don't know why kids do what they do, and I know that most parents don't find it terribly amusing at the time, but I know I did stuff very similar to that when I was a kid. My parents had an entire house full of books, shelves in every room crammed floor to ceiling with books. And, being the weird people they were, they exercised no parental guidance or control whatsoever, so that most of us had read Lady Chatterly's Lover, Naked Lunch, and the like, long before we had any understanding of what they meant. Nevertheless, we HAD to drag poor Dad to the library every weekend without fail to get books that we had at home.
I think it's the way kids exercize some control over their environment, however pitifully small and inadequate and illusory that control is. Poor you. All I can say is, someday you'll be laughing your ass off as your kid goes through this exact same scenario with HER kid. I suspect it's the main reason people want their kids to have kids: revenge for all the suffering they went through as parents.
I'm guessing that The Hunger Games would get burned in your area then. Harry Potter is nothing compared to those books.
Happy Santa Ween, everyone!

Three days after He was crucified, Santa rises from the dead.
He sees His shadow, signalling six more weeks of Holiday shopping.

The Loudoun Atheists … a.k.a. The Optimists.
Uh-Oh. I better rethink my crucified Easter Bunny display this Spring.
I usually go wigh the spatchcocked rabbit myself.
The ex-who-is-a-chef used to think it was very amusing to serve bunnies made out of duck liver pate (with little currants for eyes) at Easter. When I complained, the response was "Wut? How else will they know there's a Jew in the kitchen?"
Look, conservative assholes, you demanded fiscal austerity and government cutbacks, so Loudon County had to 'go Galt' on the traditional Jebus-Donkey Stall and all it can afford is crucified skeleton Santa.
Santa's goin' hungry this year, no government cash for venison.
Something tells me that if the "Loudoun Atheists," "American Atheists" and "NOVA Atheists" held a joint meeting in Leesburg, they could have it in a McDonald's booth with a couple seats to spare.
they need to combine and form a paraplegic Voltron.
Just goes to show how few people actually have the ability for critical thought.
The congregation was much larger before the Loudoun Atheists splintered off because they do not recognize the supremacy of PBS. That's when the "Atheists" added NOVA to the name of their organization, denoting the source of their dogma.
Splitters!

Sandusky Libel!
Always in the south – the deep south, not Long Branch, NJ. There they have a festive Christmas Eve display of Santa and his workshop staged live. Ol' Sam Browne combs the fall folliage out of his beard, dresses in red and brings along his eight teen aged 'daughters' dressed as naughty elves.
Dear Faithful,
It's high time that we take Christ out of Christmas. The whole thing is a magnificent pagan holiday rooted in the feasts of the winter solstice. Let's spend this Yule getting back to the basics: eating, drinking, fucking, and having a grand ol' time. I'll see you 'neath the mistletoe, awaiting my blowjob.
Yours in the name of Odin,
Captain Quark.
HAPPY SATURNALIA!
We need to put the Saturn back in Saturnalia!
I know Herman Cain is getting back to those things that matter.
And meeting with his wife's attorneys.
Not sure I agree with the order. ….basics: eating, drinking, fucking, and having a grand ol' time.
Herman? Herman Cain, is that you?
Where in this day in age are we going to find a virgin to Sacrifice?
I had the cats spayed and neutered before they ever got to taste the delights of unbridled sex, so I suppose you could have one of THEM, in a pinch.
Imagine that. A Fundie over extending themselves and it all blowing up in their face.
The preceding blowjob comment changes your imagery somewhat.
Where's the Festivus pole?
And shouldn't we include Hanukkah Harry?
Mine is but a Viagra away…
Yasser, you slut.
Yeah, well, I'm hoping to get nailed at Christmas, so to speak
I'll drink to that.
I wonder if I'll get lucky this Xmas? Maybe I'll try using your line.
Feats of Strength Libel!
Well, we've had quite a lot of Airing Of The Grievances…
That's what she said.
one enraged woman stopped by to personally tear it [the display] apart
This reminds me of my friend who loves to tell how he & his cousins, growing up along the mountainous Blue Ridge, would take stiffened, not-yet-rotten deer carcasses and prop them up near the roadways (ones w/ intact antlers worked best, obvs) then lay back and watch (this was during hunting season, duh) as motorists drunk from hunting would spy'em a 'live' one in the dim twilight and fire at their latest game sighting through the rolled-down window without bothering to pull over. Occasionally their vehicles slowed as passengers gawked at their fired-upon specimen, frozen-still yet so lifelike.
So yeah, are we sure this isn't Loudoun Heights, WEST Virginia? cause I'm thinking the only thing more furious than a punk'd hunts-hick would be a rabid Christian onlooker with a martyr complex and zero sense of humor.
"…a rabid Christian onlooker with a martyr complex and zero sense of humor?"
A triple from the Department of Tautological Redundancy Department! Well played, sir/ma'am/entity.
Every time I hear of the Flying Spaghetti Monster this time of year it makes me laugh.
Oh Great Flying Spaghetti Monster, you are here but once a year and you bring joy and laughter.
And meatballs.
I count myself as a Pastafarian.
I just want to EAT spaghetti and meatballs 24/7/365.
Mmm…..body and blood of Jeebus….vs Spaghetti & Meatballs……decisions, decisions….
Go with the meatballs. Less clean-up, and it's easier to manage. Plus, blood is an emetic (really).
"I count myself as a Pastafarian."
As do I. For I have been touched by the noodly appendage.
And Parmesan. Don't forget the fucking cheese.
Oh, NEVER. Cheese is what holds our Pasta fari together.
I can't wait for the Easter displays.
I'm already at work on my new series called, "Alternate execution methods for Jesus." Where do I file for the permit?
Try calling the Perry campaign.
They'll hang a live bunny on the cross.
Not one, but two displays by the Pastafarians. They are a force to be reckoned with!
"Christmas is not about sharing, giving or being kind to fellow humans… It is solely about spending, pepper spraying and Mega-Stores! Get with it!"

Why is it that I'm sure a crucified Santa will give Bill O'Reilly the biggest orgasm he has had since the last time he walked by a Falafel stand?
Santa goes in, Santa pulls out. You can't explain it.
He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake.
His bony, fleshless fingers are on your bedroom doorknob right now, and he's starting to turn it.
Now go to sleep, kids, or you won't get any presents.
Don't forget his fun time happy jolly friend, The Krampus!
We need to bring that cuddly guy back. Kids would wake up xmas morning happy just to be alive.
Meanwhile all that money I would have spent on xboxes and hollister clothes can be better spent on booze, smokes, and bail.
Why can’t we all just get behind Freemasonry as our founders intended?

The weather might be frightful, but I don't think you'd find the fire inside all that delightful. (Those aren't chestnuts roasting, for one thing…)

Should you run out of sufficiently offensive holiday display ideas, feel free to adapt mine from a couple years ago:
"Never Regift…"
You're welcome,

ReGrifting, OTOH, is A-OK – scamming the conservitards a second time before they realize they were shafted the first time…..well, it's positively…. Christian
WHO IS TO BLAME FOR ALLOWING THIS ABOMINATION IN THE FIRST PLACE???
The Muppets?
Gretchen Carlson, Steve Doocey and Brian Kilmeade (he's the smart one) are crying their eyes out and breaking things.
How can you tell? (I mean, that he's the smart one)
How do they know that isn't Jebus? He is, after all, dead and is probably skeletonized by now.
What could be better than a dead suffering Jebus Santa on the cross so you can have an Xbox?
Now I had Jesus for dinner last night; he looked like a cracker and a glass of red wine.
How can I incorporate this into the Jesus/Santa slashfic I'm writing?
Very carefully.
That's my joke, Pristine.
Dammit, ntD! I never wake up early enough to get the good ones in.
Turnabout is fair play.
Well is crucifying Santa really that outre? Some folks would like to crucify a certain alleged pedophile coach from PSU, so if ya crucify one pedo, should ya crucify 'em all?
I'm down wit' dat.
"Courthouse Displays Go Up…"
Courthouse Displays Go Down. Never a Miscommunication.
How come Loudoun County has a dead Santa and Orange has none? You can't explain it.
I think it is really important to also have the 10 Commandments posted on every building and city bus because sometimes I forget that stabbing people and stealing stuff is a bad thing to do.
How about nailing the seventh commandment to Newtie's and Hermie's foreheads?
I know they spend all their time preening in front of the mirror, pdog, but I don't think either of them reads that well.
You do? And here I was, thinking of you as a mild-mannered semi-professional birdwatcher!
I'm more of a Bird Picture taker than a pure bird watcher. Bird watchers are pretty nerdy. But it is true that you do have to know a little about birds to know where to look for them because it would be dumb to look for Horned larks in a tree when everybody knows that they run around on the ground in Corn Field stubble LOL!11!!
I have a pair of good friends who are avid (heh) birdwatchers, schlepping over high country and low, binoculars in hand. I don't think they take any pitchers tho. Your pitchers are truly beautiful. But I can tell you don't live in the same part of the country I do, because I don't recognize most of your bird pitcher birds.
Have you ever been to Singapore? They have an immense, and beautiful, Bird Park there, I think it's the largest in the world, and it's filled with birds running (and flying) free. I saw a Secretary Bird, hornbills, toucans, Birds of Paradise, and the most bizarre collection of sparrows and pigeons. Also, clouds of those little bright-green parrots called tota in India/Pakistan, macaws, hawks, eagles, kestrels, sparrowhawks, and vultures. Fascinating.
You are truly multifaceted, dearest Dummy.
I have to assume that the woman that destroyed the display was charged for destruction of property?
She was charged with Ruining Christmas Forever.
…she's pleading Noel Lo Contendre
GROAN!
"Noel no comprende" would be more accurate.
Indeed, she has failed to comprehend the spirit of Noel altogether.
Her punishment is having to squat under the mistle-toad.
I am not there yet, but there is a moment every Christmas season when I get overdosed to the fucking gills on goddamned red and green. But, I am not there…yet.
Stay away from the BROWN acid-
Not to mention the endless Xmas songs. I swear to god the first person who yells "Ho, ho, ho!" in my face this year is going to get nutpunched.
I would make an exception for 'The Fairytale of New York'.

That's the kind of thing I like to hear at christmas. Many thanks.
I was done Black Friday, and I didn't even leave the house.
Red wine and Creme de menthe?
Ewww.
Er? Barf?
Some people actually think that a 3 headed God,Ghost,man cosmic Jew Came down to earth and raped a 13 yr old girl to impregnate her with himself,so that he could later sacrifice himself to himself for rules he himself put in place,and while down here told people they could live forever if they drink his blood ,and eat his flesh? And that they don't have to burn in hell forever just because some naked Tart got conned into eating a piece of fruit from a magical tree by a talking snake? The Bible story in a Nut Shell.
And that is why you should never trust women.
Makes about as much sense as a Bachmann presidency….just fewer drugs.
The "drink his blood and eat his flesh" part always seemed like, uh, overkill to me.
But that's the good part.
You're a very sick, if sweet, little lady, little lady.
Nice Job.
What about the Scimitar and the watery tart?? Oh wait, that's Monty Python, that's probably true–er.
This is tacky. Santa died for your sins ya know.
I thought Cardinal Sin did that.
society’s materialistic obsessions and addictions and how it is killing the peace, love, joy and kindness that is supposed to be prevalent during the holiday season
First: Crucify Santa. Second: Call Christmas "the holiday season". We're clearly dealing with the Baader-Meinhof gang of the War on Christmas.
Danny the Red and Green?
The War on Christmas has gone hot. From my hick facebook friend about an unrelated government nativity scene:
We as Christians need to stand up and say, "Enough is enough. We've been quiet for too long, and we're not going to take it any more."
Really, you Xtians have been quiet about this for how long? Pass the popcorn, this is going to be a good one.
Hey, I haven't heard a Christian obnoxiously whine about being persecuted for the past Plank time.
You SEE why I hang out on teh Wonketz? I actually went and looked up Planck time, and learned something.
Now, admittedly, MOST Of what I learn on teh Wonketz is in the UrbanDictionary(tm), but once in a while, SorosBot, once in a while …
I hope you sent him a "happy holidays" message.
A virtual fruitcake?
Whatever happened to pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps and personal responsibility?
Until I see the FEMA built concentration camps filled with Xtians and placed in forced labor, YOU ARE NOT BEING PERSECUTED.
They need to read a little early Japanese history. Now THAT was some persecutioning.
I'm surprised Disney isn't suing for infringement on The Nightmare Before Christmas".
Just wait, if it catches on they will.
Public outcry ensued, including calls that the decision was infringing on residents’ religious freedom
Translation: Civic authorities wouldn't allow me to display symbols of my religion while banning everything else.
Exactly!
These right wing nutz need to learn a very important life lesson: "Be careful what you wish for!"
They are all for religious freedom. Except for everyone else.
Someone needs to sit these mindless bastards down and explain to them that the Law, in its majesty, will permit Moose Lumps to put their Moose Lump Satanz on the public square if these eejits want to see their Jeebus in there also, too.
Why are they so fucking DENSE?
It's a great day in Loudon County! Set free the Dogs of the War on Christmas and cry Havoc in Aisle 45 at K-Mart.
Finally, a postmodern art project I can get behind, and the fundies destroy it.
Also, aren't these the same people who constantly whine about the "reason for the season"? So shouldn't they be agreeing with the point behind it, or is that giving their capacity for critical thinking way too much credit?
the commercialization of Xmas can't be blamed on liberals–yet–so a bell rings, an angel gets its wings, and butthurt "Christians" start salivating.
I always thought the reason for the season was chocolate covered cherries.
OMG YES.
Also vanilla-covered pretzels, which my grandmother liked making for the holidays.
WAY too much.
"Mommie, does this mean I won't get the pony I asked for at the Mall?"
Puts the whole, "Santa won't come until you're fast asleep" thing in a whole new light, doesn't it?
How about the little urchin that tells Santa that all he wants for Xmas is for Daddy to get a job?
I actually heard a story on NPR last evening to this effect. It was sad.
It is. It's hard enough for the little tykes to get through their childhoods as it is. When Daddy's out of work, and Momma doesn't have money, Christmas must be awfully bleak for the kiddies. I think I'll go give some money to Toys for Tots, or something now. I hate Christmas.
What's "Christmas?"
Maybe they were celebrating Dia de los Muertos a little late this year.
Boy, am I glad I was raised a Unitarian.
I always wondered- does that mean they all use the same bathroom?
We got to celebrate everything. Now I hate it all.
On the PLUS side, think of how much money you'll save not having to buy people cheap shit that they'll break/throw away within three months.
Begun, the wars on Xmas have!
Hmm?
He died on the Cross for your chimney
Next year, would Wonkette please publish a link to the Loudoun County Courthouse Christmas display application?
I suspect the Wonkeeters would have some creative ideas to liven up the holidays in Loudoun County. I'm submitting the homage to South Park Hidee Ho Mr. Hanky Christmas poo idea. It involves my dog repeatedly crapping on the courthouse lawn and me covering up the deposits with little Santa hats. Next to the hats, I'll put little signs on the lawn that say, "Hidee Ho Holidays Loudoun County!"
I'd love to enter a living tribute to my memories of the season. A reenactment of Uncle Ned, a WWII vet, crouched behind the Christmas tree screaming "Cut the red wire! Cut the red wire!".
Meanwhile Aunt Edna, a cigerette dangling from her overly lipsticked lips, whirling in an appliance box with her gin bottle and sloshing tumbler raised in joyously upstretched arms singing "Little Drummer Boy".
Repeat performances every 30 minutes.
Oh the memories.
That reminds of the DJ at a Davenport, IA radio station that snapped, barracaded himself in the booth and put "Grandma got run over by a reindeer" on a continuous loop.
Took them almost two hours to get him out.
If I had to play bad Xmas music endlessly for a fucking living, you can bet your ass I'd snap too.
Is that the one that goes "O, Tanenbaum, o tanenbaum …"?
i'm thinking "Santa Bathing In The Blood Of Virgins". that's how he achieves immortality. this would also include Bill O'Reilly dressed in fetish gear as a "sexy-elf".
I
likelove this idea!I'd like to do a nativity display with a water buffalo for Joseph and a rhino for Mary, and The Three Wise Cats surrounding the Baby Jeebus as represented by a syringe.
Anybody else hear that dreadful joke about the guy who had to shit while hiking through one of our public parks? Covered it up with his hat? Told a ranger it was a rare bird? No?
How come *I* get all the BAD jokes?
Now don't you go winning me with the Baby Jeebus = syringe thing.
But, how would you represent the star that shown down upon him in the manger?
A giant dick wired to glow on/off in rhythm with the Xmas lights? It could shower a little shower of gold sprinkles on the syringe every so often, to keep things, you know, exciting.
Santa got wood.
Santa has really let himself go. Maybe he switched to one of those fad vegan, gluten-free diets. He could really use some beer and pizza.
I think that's a zombie Santa, in which case based on your post he's looking for GRAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINS!
You need to give credit where credit is due. The Japanese thought of it first. Maybe. Aifinkso: http://www.snopes.com/holidays/christmas/cross.as…
Well, I have to admit that this is a bit of a bummer. I don't object to it in theory, but… you know, c'mon.
Silly atheiodiots! The Bible says freedom of MY religion, not yours!

sweet, sweet schadenfreude.
I don't care what happens as long as Jesus Claus brings me better broadband.
Hey, I have to go the bathroom so none of you guys post anything until i get back ok?
Hey Dude, we can't wait all night. Whaja doing in there?????
Sheesh, it's been an hour. Must have real good magazines.
Sorry about that. I fell asleep. So I'm not mad that you guys didn't wait for me.
This is good news for Jack Skellington.
You should see what they did to the Kwanza display, oy vey.
Why didn't Santa get into law school?
He got hung up on the Boards.
"Mommy, is Santa dead?"
"Dead? He doesn't even exist!"
"No wire hangers! What's wire hangers doing in this closet when I told you no wire hangers, ever?! I work and I slave until I'm half dead, and all I hear people say is she's getting old. And what do I get? A daughter who cares as much about the beautiful dresses I give her as she cares about me! What's wire hangers doing in this closet?!"
I'm not gettin' it here folks- The fundies from these parts hate Santa because the emphasis is on the jolly fat elf instead of the little baby Jesus. So you see a lot of "Keep Christ in Christmas" signs and stuff here. I thought Santa was the sworn enemy of the Christian types since he diminished THE LORD'S role in the holiday. You would think they would have a Santa hanging from a tree or something. I'm surprise they haven't done a little homework and banned trees and wreaths since they were "borrowed" from the Pagans. I suppose that that would require consistency and coherence which aren't usually big parts of Christianity as practiced.
Whaddya want — logic?
Yes! I will be visiting my parents in Loudoun Co for Christmas. Thanks for the tip about the county courthouse's beautiful Christmas displays! I am adding it to my holiday to-do list.
"Hey Gang. Let's go round the courthouse. Oh, no particular reason, just thought it would be fun."
There is no way these Santa haters can avoid a very stern scolding from Fox News! Imagine! Defacing the very symbol of holiday capitolism, during this season of outrageous consumerism! It is absolutely un-American!
Apropos of nothing at all, please note that California Atty-Gen Kamala Harris is a major babe.
Wow. Apropos us any time!!!
Um … you wouldn't happen to have a phone number or anything, wouldja?
Damn, she's stunning.
"Public outcry ensued, including calls that the decision was infringing on residents’ religious freedom"
Pssst, Virginia residents: Despite what Beck, et al say in their drug-addled states, religious freedom does not mean the freedom to impose your religion on everyone else.
As a resident of LoCo, I just have to say that the frequency with which my county is featured on Wonkette is depressing.
And as an atheist, I'd like to say that that the Santa skeleton was needlessly provocative. I mean, we're atheists, right? What the fuck do we care?
Christians do the darnest. ( is this a word) They act violently so easily one would think the Biblia has something to do with it.
Has the Church of the Spaghetti Monster been sanctified by the Papa Benedito Uno
Somewhat OT, but this story just reminded me of a tale I once read (possibly on here?) where a poster worked for a publisher in New York where one of the other companies in the building insisted on having a nativity scene in the building foyer every year.
Whenever this person's (Jewish) boss was having a bad day, he'd head down to the lobby and try to drop-kick baby jebus into an elevator. Apparently it was an excellent stress reliever.
Drop-kick me Jesus through the goal posts of life!
True story: I went to a Catholic school, so we had the obligatory Nativity display. Fortunately, the display was at the shrine OUTSIDE the high walls and gates of the school itself. The kids took inordinate amounts of pleasure in torturing the poor Baby Jebus to the point where the school and its neighbouring church joined forces to patrol the Nativity display from the time it went up to the time it went down. (sniff!)
America is being crucified on the cross of atheism, just like William Jennings Bryant warned us.
If Christians could only manage to put half as much effort into doing all the red parts of their Babble that they do whining about how not being able to use the state to force their weak beliefs down everyone else's throats is somehow "just like what Hitler did".
I love that kind of hypocrisy, We want the freedom to express our ideas! But you better not express yours…
298 comments and not a single reference to Festivus?
Kramer was crucified for our sins.
The baby Jebus on a baby-sized cross would be much more appropriate.
On the other hand, my Jewish friends think this is way cool.
God, atheist can be some prigs. lol
BTW, can I just say that as an agnostic aetheist (i.e. someone who simply doesn't care whether there is a "god" or not), that I hate seeing fellow aetheist take the bait of the "War on Christmas"? The fact is that the holiday has almost completely lost the Christian meaning the early Catholic church tried to attatch to it. The fact is that someone wishing me a Merry Christmas or Happy Hanukkah doesn't offend me in the least bit. So, let the Christians fight their one-sided "War on Christmas", already, and let's just stay out of the ploy, altogether. All of this provocative bullshit on courthouses lawns is just stupid.
Actually, Winter Solstice is a pagan holiday.
That the Christian church tried to attach a Christian meaning to.
But the People, still practice it as a pagan holiday…
To be clear, I meant the early meaning of Christmas, itself. I did know that before that it was a pagan winter solstice festival.
Shinto?
Bless you! For you have sneezed the holy sacrament of mucus and upper-repiratory cold virus upon crucified Santa…

I'll bet that's one veggie Kortney don't like.
We should spray Megynne (however she spells it) Kelley with that. Being as she's a Foxtard and all, I'll bet she doesn't get her 5-7 servings of vegetables a day.
Why 5-7? She only needs one gigantic vegetable to keep her satisfied.
You can tell if you look at the root.
Christmas must DO something to you, girlfriend. You get all frisky and spritely. And I mean that in the best way.
Oh sweet Jebus on a stick!
You win the T-shirt.
To all who follow after: click the goddamn link already, you KNOW you want to, and it is SO satisfying.
WTF? What's a used car salesman doing on Faux News?
Nah, I'm this way all the time. I'm always having to get hosed down. (you can construe that any way you wish.)p.s. I'm enjoying my after glow.
You KNOW how I would construe that, don't you?
Throwing bones to alligators, I call it.
PS: So am I.
Just look at that face! He looks like half the Republican contenders. No *wonder* it never caught on over here!
But they're ENGLISH!
Edited to add: That means they're allowed to do all that weird shit. I think.
For just a fraction of a second there, my feelings wuz hurted, and I wondered what I had done for you to call me names.
Then I remembered my ID nym. I wonder if it's OK to change it to something else, now?
'Tain't me that's multifaceted, dear Geminisunmars, I just happen to know lots of fascinating wonderful people. Like you. (hug)
That's priceless! Whom do I know with that fetish? Maybe I'll buy a friend some lacy panties for Xmas (he's a big hairy supermacho guy).
Thank you!
But how will I recognize you? (Truly, thought I was being intimate and affectionate calling you Dummy. At least that was how my family explained it to me.)
Ramen, Brothers and Sisters!!!
Ricky Gervais FTW! (Or was it Thursday without Thor?)
I could go back to PristinePantalones, which has the advantage of being instantly recognizable as well as a slam at that silly witch as well as, you know, flattering. I mean, better Pristine than Dummy, right?
And yeah, my family told me the same thing. You sure we're not related, now? Someone once gave me a copy of Franny and Zooey, saying "This reminds me of your family." I'm not sure it was intended entirely as a compliment.
Let me guess: hearts of Wall Streeters? Let it SNOW!
There is only one reply to such a comment: :P
And, after all the money we're able to pilfer from them, we can make it rain, too!
You're one sick little puppy, but you probably know that already, don't you?

I think it is time for a new tack for your name. One that doesn't associate you with grifting and/or idiotic behavior. So that leaves out most politicians. And religious leaders. How about a favorite writer, or dog star?I have to say that Franny & Zooey's family life was more like mine than that of Ozzie & Harriet's. Intellectual, bohemian, philandering, artistic, narcissistic, and largely dysfunctional would be an apt description of my parents. I had one older brother who drank himself to death by his early 50s. I think he saw us a Salinger characters.
You know the whole name thing came about because of notthatDewey. He pointed out that every time I changed my name and av, the erstwhile candidate whose likeness I was mocking took a huge dive in the polls. So we decided to keep going through them, and I think I really DO have the reverse Midas touch! One by one, I've slain all the little bastids.
I wish I could say my parents were as interesting as yours, although Mother certainly earned her monicker: the Bitch of Bergen-Belsen. I'm sorry about your brother. It's all fun and games till someone stretches the metaphor a little too far. Although let's face it life was lot more fucking colourful (if painful) back when people were allowed to be crazy motherfuckers. I feel like the Nannies won the culture war and we must all be good now instead of the bunch of roistering drunkards and lotos-eaters we were meant to be. But there. It's just misplaced nostalgia for my bygone yoof, now half a century past.
Well, with that logic I guess it's time for NewtieCutie to emerge. Time to go to bed and astrally project myself to your embrace.
No, I'm on the straight 'n' narrow, honestly. What REALLY corrupted me was poncho_pilot's Santa Slasher Movie Trailer. I blame that for any discrepancies in my personality, since seeing it, any way.
Let's be crazy motherfuckers tonight, why not? I'll be NewtieCutie tomorrow. Good night, sweetie.
That's right. Always blame the nearest person. Wink, wink, nudge.
