The real war on Christmas

It's actually being waged by Bill O'Reilly and other right-wingers. I should know: It almost ruined my family's holiday dinner.

    Ahem.

    Yesterday I received a birth announcement from a Republican friend. We usually get along by just not talking about politics. (I live in a red state and am the only liberal friend several of my friends have.)

    However, at the bottom left corner of the birth announcement was the NRA Seal and the words "Newest member of the Republican party."

    On a birth announcement! Since when do GUNS belong on a birth announcement? And am I supposed to hang this on my refridgerator next to the rest of my friends' babies' birth announcements?

    Why do these right-wingers have to bring politics into everything?
