‘Fa La La La La Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!’ Apparently Right-Wing Santa Packs Heat

Right Wing Watch shared the Christmas card sent by John M. Snyder, who advocates that every American should arm themselves in preparation to ?defend life from Islamist terrorists? on his blog.

A right-wing Santa? What?

I was raised Catholic and Christmas in the Catholic Church is, hands down, the most beautiful season celebrated. While I am no longer a practicing Catholic and my spiritual path has taken a much different turn ? my Christmas memories are still filled with the beauty and glory that is the meaning of Christmas, which can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of their religious affiliation. They are universal goodness.

Peace. Love. Generosity. Family.

Nothing in this card reflects any of those things that, even as an atheist, I celebrate this time of year.

To have the ?Prince of Peace? sandwiched between a gun and a knife . . . well, I just have to ask . . .

Who is waging the war on Christmas, again?
