Satire: Obama Administration proposes eliminating Christmas

It's not enough that the Usurper is attempting to gain control of every minute aspect of our lives, no, now the Obama administration is directly attempting to undermine the fundamental Christian right to commercialize the birth of our Savior by promoting a policy of deprivation and outright thievery. Yes, the closeted Muslim is taking Christmas!

According to unnamed administration sources, after reading a book from an infamous Muslim childrens author, the President decided the time has come to once and forever "prevent Christmas from Coming".

This new policy initiative was formulated at meetings in the former FEMA citizen internment and relocation training facility high-atop Mount Crumpit, on May Day, 2010. This top-secret, double-cross-your-heart, gathering was attended by supernumeraries of the NAACP, ACORN, the ACLU, and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, and was chaired by the Ambassador to the United States from the New World Order, a creature known only as "Max". The keynote address was a medley delivered by Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, and live via NRO satellite from his CIA provided cave-lair, O[sb]ama Bin Laden, Special Assistant to the President. Impenetrable security for the gathering was provided by the Department of Homeland Security's new top-secret shock troops, otherwise known as "The Coast Guard".

The initiative calls for the surreptitious entry into every private Christian home on the eve of Christmas, while its occupants sleep. In the case of insomnia, proletariat shift work, or seditious late-night revelry, the sleep agent USATKO formulation XMAS has been authorized for use to quell any resistance.

Upon entry into the home, specially trained DNC convention delegates, assisted by ACORN community "organizers," will remove all gifts, decorations, ornaments, and foodstuffs designed to celebrate or otherwise enhance any celebration of the birth of Christ. Special attention will be given to removing those delectables and dishes traditionally favored by Christian anti-government conspirators, such as Hash and Roast Beast.

It has been anticipated that a few citizens with unreliable sleep patterns, namely the extremely youthful for whom sleep agent USATKO formulation XMAS is less effective, will awaken and inadvertently disrupt the sterilization procedure. In this event, the team leaders have been instructed to immediately summon a Misinformation Commissar (MisinfoCom), who will be deployed en masse in specially marked MSNBC News Vans. Once summoned, the MisinfoCom will use hypnotism, deception, bribery, and in rare cases, waterglassing, to distract the youthful from the surrounding events.

In the event that the removal of all physical accoutrement to the celebration is ineffective and that said celebration does, in fact, continue, for example in town squares, churches, amphitheaters, etc, special anti-harmonic devices have been installed in every public address system in America, and the Air Force has been authorized to use Predator Drones with missiles specially designed to mimic the damage caused by small private planes, complete with fire-proof anti-government screeds that will be found in the subsequent wreckage.

I'll post more on this amazing story later, which isn't getting nearly enough coverage in the mainstream media. I wonder why?

I'm happy to report that without the financial backing of super-duper evil genius George Soros, Obama's plan to destroy Christmas is doomed to failure.

However should Obama be able to convince Soros to come aboard, there's no telling where this evil plot could ultimately end. It's rumored that Soros doesn't even celebrate Christmas because he's Jewish. Obama just might have a card left to play, stay tuned!

I must admit, I'm not really certain how to interpret your comment, but in fairness, an early draft of this article featured George Soros as the Ambassador to the United States from the New World Order as yet another sop to the right wing, but I thought the sad hound with a sawn-off antler tied to his head offered better imagery.

Speaking of conspiracy theories. The "Bush Klan" wanted everyone who wasn't in the 1% elite to take it in the a$$ so they could destroy the middle class. And now that Reaganomics has clearly failed in the extreme that we are now in the third recession because of those policies, ultra-conservative dumba$$es are screaming about Barry bringing back regulations so those same neocon idiots don't screw the pooch again!

You can't get blood out of a turnip and we as a country certainly cannot rely on even 1 conservative policy. Throw out everything that was done under Bush and Company. Because if we don't, how many other spills are going to happen?

Well this seed was entertaining until you guys started slamming another political party choice. Why can't you just enjoy an entertaining story that could be enjoyed by both parties without making derogatory comments? Just couldn't do it could you? Everyone could have enjoyed your story as it should be but the hate just surfaced.

What a shame. *shaking head* I came to this article to say it was not true, after watching their Christmas special but I guess the hate is too much for some to enjoy this.

be careful... some people might actually believe this and try to run with it. there would probably be a large following of any candidate that used this because clearly many followers don't check the facts to see if it's correct anyways. unfortunately, this might not be the most off-the-wall thing people would believe

Let me see if I understand you:

If I take exception to something that people in this country, and on Newsvine are doing, I should suffer that dissension in silence lest I "exacerbate the problem"?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggghhhhhttttt.

While I understand that denial, ignorance to reality, and blind allegiance are valued by many, vocal dissent is the American Way, and that includes the mockery of political parties and their supporters through satire. I refuse to allow the narrow-minded of this country to define what it means to be an American, divisive or not.

My question is...if this Santa character has nothing to hide...why doesn't he just release his birth certificate?? That would clear this all up...WHAT IS HE HIDING??

But, since Santa has already spent over 1.2 million dollars trying to hide his REAL birth certificate (a story ignored by the mainstream North Pole media...thank God for ELK News!!) ...you can bet we won't be seeing it anytime soon!

Oh, And, none of this Certificate of Live Birth either..."Real Americans"...AKA, those on the right... demand to see his North Pole Long Form!!

And the brainwashed Santabots who who worship him like a Messiah...with all that socialist generosity, liberal cheerfulness and all those damn cookies!! COOKIES for goodness sake...you know who liked cookies, don't you?? HITLER! Hitler, liked cookies!! They're all sick and need to be stopped! December 2012!!

On the issue of Santa Claus - the North Pole is NOT an American Territory - therefore, any certificate of live birth would be null and void.

On the issue of Cookies - well we all know what horror can occur from overindulgence in cookies. The sheer volume of sugar consumed is bad for your health and causes obesity. Therefore, Santa is the reason for the high cost of health insurance. His weight has other consequences as well. Think of those poor reindeer who have to pull the sleigh. I have it on good authority that PETA is bringing suit for animal cruelty

Gedde Hawaii is part of the United States? Just kidding but some are surprised to hear this. I've been asked by haoles when returning from a visit to the Mainland, "How was America?" I think, "Wait a darn minute I am in America right now". So I guess since we are out if the middle of the ocean we might be a foreign country to some.

And...if Santa's not a Muslim-loving, radical-Christian, anti-Jewish, Maoist, Nazi, Socialist, COMMUNIST...why does he ALWAYS wear RED and have beard...answer me that!!

    Another well kept secret: Homeland Security and the CIA, working in conjunction with The Kresgin Institute, have developed a subliminal mind control worm that may be inserted into cds, video games, and dvds. My sources tell me that it is most effective on those of limited intellectual capacity as it causes them to act out in strange and bizarre ways, compelling them to embrace weird, incongruous, and irrational concepts which they adopt as their own. These persons are then identified, photographed and monitored for future referral to the FEMA detention centers.

          Unfortunately, what you deemed "marginally plausible" in fact actually happened...

          No, it didn't.

          Snopes debunks Obama's Visit to Mosque on National Prayer Day, among other things...

          Well have to agree to disagree...

          You know, I love this line. It seems at once reasonable and polite. But, what it actually means is that you'll embrace your biased belief beyond any rational measure, even in the face of irrefutable evidence.

          But I guess the fact that he shuns the Jewish community and embraces the Muslim communities is an act of a "worldly President". Maybe you could pen a novel about how many times our President has apologized for the actions of our country and shunned our allies.

            That's right! I heard that Thanksgiving dinners where to feature rabbit instead of turkey. They have calculated that if millions of rabbits are eaten in November the probability of the Easter bunny being one of them will be very good. As there would not be enough time for the training of a new Easter bunny there would be no delivery of baskets or candy. Dastardly plot if you ask me.....

            You made that up all by yourself

            Yes, credit my elite (public) education and a predilection for self-betterment through reading and writing, all things anathematic to the Earl Grey Society.

            You'd think that someone w/ your "ELITE" education would have something better to do..

            This just goes to show that most people can be conned into believing almost anything. This was great. You had all the extremists believing that Ohbama had finally come out of the Muslim Closet. For those of you that believe that this is true. Try this Constitutional Right on for size. Innocent until proven guilty. What a regal concept.

            Actually, Gedde, I have it on good authority that you are wrong. The Administration does not wish to eliminate Christmas. Not at all. They plan on establishing the Dept. of Christmas with Joe Liberman as it's head (as a Jewish man, he would not be partisan). I understand they have asked for $80 Billion initial funding. The plan is to mandate that Schwinn provide a bicycle free of charge to every person in America with an income under $250,000 per year. Future funding will be built in for bicycle maintenance.

            The CBO says the initial estimates are "deficit neutral"

            Obama stole Christmas from everyone when he was elected to office. No money, no job, no house to live in. Yep, it looks like Obama has already got away with it.

            How do I wrap a government healthcare option as a Christmas gift?

            A lot prettier than now. Please spare me the Obama inherited this mess routine. Why don't you and your Liberal friends try a new one, Like I created this new mess.

            I would take the old Carter or Clinton over this guy any day of the week.

            I see, the reality, the totality of events leading up to the present situation, isn't germane to the argument?

            Well, it occurs to me that one who might approach their life with such lack of analysis would no doubt be quite surprised when things went south, and it would surprise me even less that they would look for a convenient scapegoat.

            I sure hope that "small government" you most likely cherish helps you out of this one.

            Chuck: You are mistaken. There was nothing left to steal after 8 years with republicans raiding every pocket, bank account and depleting the Treasury on an illegal Iraqi war. The spending continues as the Dems must now pay for the clean up of an oil spill brought on by deregulation of the Oil Industry. Right Wingers can now turn to Saint Sarah for answers.
