War on Christmas Continues at K-Mart
Posted by Dave Blount at December 9, 2007 1:09 PM
It has been decreed that Sears subsidiary K-Mart must refer to Christmas trees as "holiday trees" or just as "trees" in its advertising, lest it be accused of failing to pander to intolerant moonbats. When asked for clarification, a representative of Sears Holding Corporation gibbered:
The reason for our use of holiday tree is due to the [sic] Sears Holding is a very diverse company, we do not want to offend any of our associates, but also our valued customers. We decided to call them holiday trees because even if Christians are the only religion that uses a Christmas tree we still do not want complaints from other customers of different religions complaining about our use of Christmas.
Mathew D. Staver, Founder of Liberty Counsel and Dean of Liberty University School of Law, responds:
It borders on the absurd to remove the word "Christmas" from a "Christmas tree." Sears and K-Mart have offended their customer base by thinking they can profit from Christmas while pretending it does not exist. The best thing for consumers to do this Christmas season is to act as if Sears and K-Mart do not exist and instead patronize their competitors.
Moonbats' hostility toward Christmas is understandable; they hate everything that characterizes our culture, and particularly everything that reminds them of the Christianity around which it evolved. Corporations bending to their will can only be explained as pathological cowardice.
Frightened of moonbats, a Sears Holding Corporation rep renounces Christmas.
On a tip from Bob.
