Fox Tree Fire - War on Christmas

I saw today that the Christmas tree outside Fox News Headquarters in New York City was set on fire apparently by a mentally ill homeless man. It certainly won't be long now before the crazies at fox will be squawking all day about the so called war on Christmas with the backdrop of their burning tree. Tucker Carlson has actually started calling the incident a war on Christianity. Maybe he really doesn't know that the Christmas tree is really an ancient pagan ritual but he probably doesn't care and just wants to stir up the ignorant base. Maybe if Fox News raked that ground around the tree it wouldn't have caught fire.

The grifter conservative trumpie politicians will also be dancing around the burning "holiday" tree as they fundraise from their dupes and marks. The other weird republican politician trend is recent grifters posting pictures of themselves and their families sitting around their Christmas trees while brandishing machine guns and other military assault weapons including their children. This has been happening just days after another school shooting. Talk about a war on Christmas. Disgusting.

It is also worth noting that there has been a long history in America of right wing claims of a war on Christmas. In the 1950's it was the John Birch Society claiming that the UN was conducting a war on Christmas in the US. Why? Maybe they just saw non-Christians as a threat to American values.

That's what Henry Ford probably thought when he railed about a war on Christmas in the 1920's but of course his enemy was "the Jews" and their cabal that was trying to control the world.

Actually a war on Christmas is very American and began even before the founding of the nation but it was the Puritans who were against Christmas and their were laws in the colonies that required fines against people celebrating Christmas.
