Santa Gets Greenwashed
Not even Santa Claus can stand above the rising tide of enviromoonbattery that has been swamping every nook and cranny of our culture. The Culture and Media Institute reports on the new children's book Santa Goes Green:
"You see, it's like this Santa," the book reads. "I've adopted a polar bear named Leopold. He is in danger of losing his home. I'm sure you being in the North Pole you know about the melting glaciers. All I want this year Santa, is to save Leopold and his home."
Santa Claus visits the boy, takes him to see the polar bear and then in a moment of eco-awakening, he makes his operations at the North Pole green.
"They arrived back at the North Pole and Santa had a grand idea," the book reads. "He leaned in toward Swift [the head elf] and told him his new plan. 'We will collect all of the old toys, Swift, and make them new again. We will reuse last year's wrapping paper. And we will harness the great North Pole wind to help power up the toy shop.'"
Econazis are wise to direct their propaganda at small children, who will soon be the only people gullible enough to buy into the global warming swindle if temperatures continue to plunge.
At least the cover is heartwarming:
For a more accurate depiction of how polar bears interact with little boys, here's Cute Knut:
Some people have to spend their entire lives trying to sort out the lies they're fed as little kids.

Ahhh... "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle." That philosophy is going to make us like Cuba. They know all about Reduce, Resuse, Recycle. It ain't pretty.

For gosh sakes, let's stop letting our kids enjoy Christma...I mean "Winter Holiday Season". This business with toys and Santa...knock it off. We must make sure they are afraid. Of everything.
Toys? They use resources which destroy the planet. Santa? A patriarchal-centric myth (and an animal abuser...those reindeer are treated as slaves). Holiday cheer? What's to be happy about? The "planet has a fever". Peace on earth? Not with the U.S. being the biggest terror nation on the planet. Good will towards men? What about towards gays, lesbians, transexuals, transgenders, hermaphrodites and metro-sexuals?
No...we better stop this nonsense now. Kids need to feel GUILTY. They should all get wonderful recycled products for Christm...I mean Winter Goddess Festivus...things like compost, wheat-grass juice or maybe Al Gore's latest video.

The image of greentards going to Santa's workshop - presumably lit by candles and wood-burning fireplaces etc. - and telling him about Global Warmening, when the whole place is surrounded by thousands of square kilometers of barren snow and ice, is somewhat apt to the current Green movement as global temperatures continue plummeting.

It reminds me of Christmastime a year or so ago, when a lefty mayor of a certain town made a bunch of children cry by telling them that the video games they were getting for Christmas were killing (Yes, killing) Santa by causing the North Pole to melt from global warming.
"'We will collect all of the old toys, Swift, and make them new again. We will reuse last year's wrapping paper."
Recycling and remaking old toys? So, in other words, they're going to take the lazy way out by doing a half- assed job? Great message to send to impressionable kids. Oh, and reusing last year's old wrapping paper, like many other such liberal concepts, is well- meaning but would never work, for a couple reasons:
1. It would be in such poor condition and small quantities from being torn off last year's gifts that they would be unable to reassemble enough of it to wrap another gift, and even if they could, it would look like crap.
2. It would be too weak to hold together a year later without coming apart.

Karin, I don't think so.
Here's what we'll probably see in the children's section of bookstores next year:
"Barack Claus."
Summary:
Barack Obama is unhappy with the "Unfair" and "Discriminatory" practice of Santa Claus giving presents to nice kids and coal to naughty kids. Obama thinks Santa should "Spread the toys around." When jolly old St. Nick refuses to do so, stating that it's wrong to reward kids who are bad, Obama has him kicked out of the North Pole and imprisoned, appoints himself as the new Santa, and sets out a new Christmas strategy in which, in the name of "Social justice," presents meant for the good kids will instead be 'Redistributed' to the bad kids.
