In her New York Times bestsellers Going Rogue and America by Heart, Sarah Palin revealed the strong Christian faith that has guided her life and family. In A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas, she calls for bringing back the freedom to express the Christian values of the season. She asserts the importance of preserving Jesus Christ in Christmas - in public displays, school concerts, pageants, and our expressions to one another other - and laments the over-commercialization and homogenization of Christmas in today's society. Interwoven throughout are personal memories and family traditions, as well as more than a dozen family photos, which illustrate the reasons why the celebration of Jesus Christ's nativity is the centerpiece of her faith. Palin believes it is imperative that we stand up for our beliefs before the element of faith in a glorious and traditional holiday like Christmas is marginalized and ignored. She also encourages readers to see what is possible when we unite in defense of our religious convictions and ignore the politically correct Scrooges seeking to take Christ out of Christmas. A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas is a call to action to openly celebrate the joys of Christianity, and say Merry Christmas to one another.
Hang on, I just threw up in my mouth a little.
You know I have to say that I really appreciate that Palin "laments the over-commercialization of Christmas" while marketing this book for Christmas. It really helps to drive home her point.
And who can argue that the "element of faith" concerning Christmas has been "marginalized and ignored?" I mean it's not like every Christmas special that floods our television sets during the month long celebration of this holiday, including "A Charlie Brown Christmas," pimps the birth of Jesus Christ and assumes the viewer's belief in God. Right?
Besides who better to write a book about the true meaning of Christmas than a selfish, money grubbing harpy, whose claim to fame is vicious attacks on any who disagrees with her point of view, sexual innuendo, and calls for violence against the government?
After all hasn't Palin's motto always been; "Who Would Jesus Hate?"
I wonder if the conservative bulk mail program will even bother to help Palin fake another best seller this time around? Or has she pissed off to many conservative power brokers and burned too many bridges?
Only time will tell. But one thing we know for sure, this piece of candy cane coated moose poop will NEVER sell on its own.
Keep an out for Sarah Palin's book tour, soon to appear in a 7-Eleven near you.
Hey, Gryphen,
ReplyDeleteLove it. I'm so tired of the Christiban annexing the entire month of December, as if there are no other religions out there that have celebrations in that month and those of us who don't celebrate the religious aspects of the month at all.
One quick edit: I think the word you want is vicious, not viscous in the paragraph starting "Besides who better" - unless you mean her attacks are sticky and gooey. (Though that could apply, also. *g*)
Where the hell is her giant Star of David now?
DeleteViscous attacks! My mind races to mucous-laden sputtering from the queen grifter ... Change to vicious.
ReplyDeleteDammit! I did that once before as well.
DeleteThanks.
Viscous is that happy ending stuff in the washcloth that gets taken home in the pants pocket.
DeleteEWWWWW, 12:57!! The Toad is disgusting with his viscous washcloths!
DeleteBoth viscous and vicious apply to the Ol' Grinch of the North.
DeleteGryphen, I disagree with your characterization of this book as a stocking stuffer. Based on its shape, it appears to more closely resemble a stand-in for the Sponge Bob Square Pants pants stuffer that the former half-term governor used to fake her pregnancy. Alternatively, based on her more recent behavior, it appears that its best use might be that of bra stuffer.
ReplyDeleteIn all seriousness, though, it's a shame that Palin's Jesus is so weak, anemic, irrelevant, and plastic that He now needs the government's help to foster and promote myths about Him (date of His birth, attribution to Him of ancient pagan customs Palin now wants emphasized, etc).
I thought, based on the Bible, that spiritual upbringing was solely up to the children's parents. I guess in Palinworld, it's now entirely up to the tax-payer subsidized school districts and municipalities, and that, further, we now need the government's permission and directives to tell us how to behave at certain times of the year. Apparently, in one foul swoop – and by making an enormous and convoluted suggestion – Palin has converged her ideas of paganism with small (er, meant to say large) government.
"We are from Alaska, and live near the North Pole, so we have access to Santa Claus."
Delete-- Sarah Palin
What the heck does Santa Claus - much less 'living' near him - have anything to do with the birth of Jesus Christ and Christian values?
Palin is such a contemptible hypocrite. As if that is any surprise!
She has access to Putin, also, too. There must be a book there somewhere.
DeleteSomeone checked and it was like 875,000th on the Amazon 'bestseller' list. And tell us, Sarah, when did you write this masterpiece? On the plane between Podunk and Scottsdale? Or was it in your hotel room (truly inspiring places) in NYC? What a farce. Again. How many times is she going to try to scam people? I know, as many as she can get away with, or until the law tells her to stop..that worked well in the Mondale affair, too. "I'm Vindeecated, I tell ya!"
ReplyDeleteDid it occur to anyone else that perhaps people are 'politically corrrect' because they are 'correct?' It is wrong to slap Christmas in every school, courtroom, bus stop, and synogogue. It is against her precious Founders. And the beloved Constitution, which she hasn't read (or couldn't comprehend, since it's written above 5th grade level.) Go away, Sarah.
Oh, and nice cover..can't wait for the 'dozen' family photos...couldn't you at least get Trig to wear his Santa cap and antlers for more than one? Or are we going to be treated to the old one of him as a baby amongst the leftover wrapping paper? And where will Track be? Did you have to pay him to bring his daughter and make an appearance for the photo shoot? Did Tripp run around swearing at the photographers? Were these pix in AZ? With fake snow? Time will tell, and luckily, none of us will have to shell out a cent to find out.
Thought it was "Good Tidings OF Great Joy"! Sarah Palin has never spread 'joy' anywhere in the USA!
DeleteAnd, her publisher must have convinced her NOT to use a current photo of herself. We all (especially in Alaska) know she aged horribly and is now very thin. Plus, she has boobs that go up and down like yoyos! You never know if she'll be 'hanging low', flat chested or wearing 'build ins' hiked up to her chin!
And, Sarah Palin is the furthest thing from being a Christian out there. We all know she is an avid liar and fraud.
Wonder how many of this new book will be purchased by her PAC to make it hit #1 for a short period of time? We're way past being on to you, sister Sarah!
Mondale affair, 12:37? What was that?
DeleteHer bots will be the only ones buying it in any retail sense. It'll be fapping material for them.
DeleteHer many "Consultants" - any of 'em, all of 'em - will be buying the book as directed with SarahPAC funds, then send them to NewsMax and other outlets as "gifts".
And she'll do just as she did before with the last 2 books: SarahPAC will directly buy a bunch of them, just enough to get her on a Best Seller list - again, any of 'em, all of 'em - and she'll pocket the sales.
See how that works boys & girls? SarahPAC buys the book;
Palin pockets the profits from the sales of the book!
Dumb bots!
I looked at Amazon for Sarah's book, and there seems to be a book, "Great Tidings of Great Joy" published in September, 2011. (One word difference between Sarah's book and this one.) In fact, there is a page filled with books by the same title, written by different authors.
ReplyDeleteIn the section, "about the author," I have cut and pasted the last line of Sarah's biography.
"The Palins reside in Wasilla with their five children and one grandson. They enjoy an extended family throughout Alaska and the Lower 48."
WHAT HAPPENED TO TRACK'S KID? Some one is so busy protesting, "But I only have ONE grandson, that other kid, well......I only have ONE grandson."
They still hesitate to recognize Bristol's "Dancing With the Stars" baby that her brother's girlfriend adopted. Poor Grace. She'll never be a true Palin.....actually, lucky for her! She found a better family with Britta and will grow up not being a miscreant.
Delete"Protecting the Heart of Christmas." Sarah loves that word, "heart." She claims to have an Alaska Heart, and having a Servant's Heart. And, then there's that book, "America by Heart." The reason for Sarah preaching from the heart is because Sarah does not think. It's emotional. She connects with people on an emotional basis that does not involve thinking. It reminds me of George W. Bush who made decisions as President based on his gut feeling. He didn't think about things too much either, just like Palin and her fans.
ReplyDeleteProtecting the Heart of Christmas sounds like Fox News' fake War on Christmas. Don't you dare wish anyone a "Happy Holiday." It's "Merry Christmas," whether your friends are atheists, Jews, Muslim, Hindus, Buddhists, or just have want to include Happy New Year in the mix. If anyone should worry about the over-commercialism of Christmas, the priests, pastors and ministers should be preaching about it. Sarah doesn't appear to go to church, and sometimes, she wears a Jewish star. Yeah, that's the person I want to tell me how to be more religious when she is really not very religious herself.
Anon at 12:48. I agree that Palin does not think and that her connection with people is emotional but it's not because the connection comes from her heart. She has no capacity for empathy or compassion. She has NO heart. Look at the few family photos we see. There is no warmth or tenderness or love in any of them. And look at the way she toted around Trig like a sack of potatoes. No pictures of her making eye contact with him, or cooing, or talking to him. Few pictures of her even looking in his direction. Again, she has no heart, Alaskan or otherwise.
DeleteCan't wait to see the family photos. They will either all have been staged in the recent year or earlier photos will have been photoshopped to include a gigantic, tacky, Christmas creche. I would bet that that "family" never had a creche or saw the inside of a church in past Christmases. They disgust me.
Also, too, remember, Palin, those tidings of great joy brought "peace on earth to men (sic) of GOOD WILL." Meditate on that for awhile.
Dear Sarah,
ReplyDeleteI was born and baptized a Christian, and have been one, in my own way, for more than six decades.
I, too, grew up in a time when it seemed that everyone celebrated Christmas, had a tree, took a vacation from work and school, made cookies, sang carols, and gave presents.
Luckily, I matured enough to understand that, as much as I treasure Christmas, not everyone has the same background or beliefs.
Now, I feel there's nothing so lovely as saying "Happy Holidays" to anyone and everyone. I acknowledge that not all of my friends, neighbors or relations are Christian. I'm not such a Scrooge as to deny them the joyous celebration of mid-winter, Hannakuh, Kwanzaa, the solstice, the New Year, or just a few days of good will and good cheer, at least once a year. "Happy Holidays" encompasses everyone and spreads love to one and all. That's the true spirit of Christians.
You are welcome to "keep Christ" in your Christmas. We're welcome to enjoy each other in celebration and love. We take nothing away from you, your family, or your beliefs by celebrating in our own way. Please accept our sincerest wishes for you and yours to have a happy holiday.
Peace.
P.S. The centerpiece of Christianity is Easter, not Christmas. The whole point of the religion is a belief in the resurrection. You can look it up.
But I doubt you'll be able to sell many books talking about death, betrayal, anger, violence, sadness, mourning, and then rebirth. If it weren't for Easter, Christmas would have no point at all. But you can't flip that -- if it weren't for Christmas, Easter would have no point at all. They aren't equivalents. It's all in the Bible.
She can keep Christ in her Christmas all she wants to, but her thoughts, words, actions and deeds during the other 364 days of the year smack of someone that "lives permanently" in a much, much warmer area much, much farther south!
Deletegreat comments Evelyn Waugh12:48 PM and KAO!
DeleteYep she lives in AZ prepping for when she goes to HELL!
Nothing like making money off the lord she says she believes in. It must be a different one than I know.
DeleteWhat, no picture of the she-beast, her Pimp, and their brood of imbeciles. Heavens to Betsey, what is a C4per to do?
ReplyDeleteAre there any photos of her holding a reindeer, after shooting it? Or, I should say "after someone else shoots it"
DeleteWho wrote this book? Does she credit a ghostwriter? Or the ghost of Christmas past?
ReplyDeleteIs the illustration just a cover mock-up for a previous title idea?
ReplyDeleteAlthough, the good tidings/great joy design would be handy to have around to paste over the Sarah Palin blow-up doll's "special function" areas.
Cross-selling, folks, it's called cross-selling.

Todd's book will be released at the same time, "Protecting the Joy of Pimping". You can pick up copies at your local brothel, or at a GOP town hall meeting.
ReplyDeleteYour comment is a thing of great joy and beauty.
DeleteAnd makes me want to live more vibrantly... or is that vigorously?
DeleteAnd it makes me want to live life more vibrantly...or is that vigorously?
DeleteFor C4Pers it would be Viagraously
DeleteSo this is the book that Palin said she's so well-equipped to write because she's close to the North Pole where Santa Claus lives?! That type of talk is definitely keeping true the real meaning of Christmas, as Palin said that was her goal with this book. What a f&cking idiot!
ReplyDeleteI don't think Chuckie's book sold more than 100 or so copies. Without the help of the Republican publications buying her book in bulk, Sarah's latest is sure to be another loser for her.
If this is all about Christmas and Christmas is all about Jesus, why is He disguised as an decorated wreath on the cover?
ReplyDeleteBets on whether Sarah deducts this year's Christmas presents (to herself) as book research?
I hope South Park does an episode about finding and killing the heart of chistmas like it did with the heart of walmart episode lol!
ReplyDeleteThey already did Jesus vs. Santa.
DeleteSarah: The U.S. Constitution, which I know you've committed to memory, strictly separates religion and the government.
ReplyDeleteThat's why public schools, public squares, and anything else paid for by ALL U.S. citizens, do not allow a specific religion to be promoted at the expense of those who don't believe in it.
There is no prohibition against anyone who believes in a certain religion from practicing his or her faith. Enjoy yourself! In any event, despite the Constitution, Christmas has been a Federal holiday for 143 years. That should be enough for you.
Sarah said that she wants to restore Christmas to our schools' pageants and activities. No! Not in the public schools. They don't pick one religion over all others. Celebrate in your home, church, in your front yard or back yard but not in the public schools, thank you very much.
DeleteIf the title is "A Happy Holiday IS A Merry Christmas" then why does the title on the book jacket appear to be "Good Tidings and Great Joy: Protecting the Heart of Christmas"? And I will not be buying a copy of the book to find out. We have lots of Christmas books that I have collected over the years and they get stacked on tables around the living room every holiday season. I have always loved to dip into them - poetry, short stories, essays, some more religious in nature than others. They have been a part of our celebration for decades. Sarah's tome will NOT be joining them.
ReplyDeleteI doubt that Sarah Palin did any research for her book and I doubt if it will be worth the paper it's printed on.
Just a quick fix on my post above. I meant to say that I didn't think Chuckie's book broke 1k copies and that's correct. Between Kindle & Hardcover, they're at 728. For a woman who allegedly has millions of fans, LOL, that really sucks! I don't think there's anyone left with any interest in Palin other than the nuts at the PeeZoo.
ReplyDeleteBut, but, but, Chuckie wrote that Chuck Senior just got more cartons of the book they wrote, ready to send to their fans at the full retail price.
DeleteShe does not get the irony of this book coming out at Christmas time does she.
ReplyDeleteThat woman is an idiot.
I would have included moose poop in your labels list, Gryph.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the 4pees will buy one for every friend and family member. Me? Not even perusing it, but I'll be having some fun in bookstores just like the last two times!
She's an irrelevant POS.
ReplyDeleteFrom Amazon about the author section:
ReplyDeleteThe Palins reside in Wasilla with their five children and one grandson. They enjoy an extended family throughout Alaska and the Lower 48.
What?? No Kyla Grace mentioned
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Seriously? Kyla's parents may have even married a few months before she was born, that exempts her from being a Biblical bastard? How could Sarah not mention her one possibly legitimate grand kid?
DeleteThat family fakes being Christian worse than any living charlatans today.
Making a buck off of Christmas is just another low for the fool.
"May have" being the operative word.
DeleteConsider the Wreath. It's origin goes back before jeebus came on the scene and that it was (once again) hijacked by christians for their little jeebus fable just adds to the hysterical nature of this dumbass. She doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground and there's probably more substance inside the whole in the ground.
ReplyDeleteSo this book isn't going to have Sarah's face on the cover?
ReplyDeleteGee, I wonder why...
OK, call me confused but is the book called 'A Happy Holiday IS a Merry Christmas' or is it 'Good Tidings and Great Joy; Protecting the Heart of Christmas'?
ReplyDeleteAnd thankfully there isn't a picture of Sarah dressed in Biblical garb participating in a nativity scene as the Virgin Mary. I would definitely GAG on that one.
>>she calls for bringing back the freedom to express the Christian values of the season
and when was there NOT freedom to express Christian values of the season (if you want to)? She acts as if people are persecuted and punished for celebrating a Christian Christmas.
And besides what she, in her utter ignorance, doesn't seem to get, is that Christmas is a conglomeration of traditions and stories from cultures from all over the world. Every culture that celebrates Christmas as the birth of Jesus (of which he wasn't born at Christmas at all, and the December date was only taken by early Christians from the pagan holidays, since that was how they successfully assimilated the pagans and the new Christians, by stealing their holidays and marking them as Christian ones) has their own values and traditions. All countries that are far older than the USA, Sarah you idiot. LONG before the Christian 'stew' in this country, there were traditions and values long established to recognize what Christmas was about for Christian believers. For her to act as if America established Christmas is ludicrous and typical of her arrogance.
If that is the cover of the book, it ain't gonna sell much at all. It looks boring, plain vanilla with Sarah's name blaring across the front which has NOTHING to do with Christmas. And might I also say, she obviously didn't do any real research on Christmas, since if she had, she would have found this and NOT put the wreath on the cover, since it's one of those traditions that Christians stole from pagans.
In ancient Rome, people used decorative wreaths as a sign of victory. Some believe that this is where the hanging of wreaths on doors came from.
The origins of the Advent wreath are found in the folk practices of the pre-Christian Germanic peoples who, during the cold December darkness of Eastern Europe, gathered wreaths of evergreen and lighted fires as signs of hope in a coming spring and renewed light. Christians (stole) kept these popular traditions alive, and by the 16th century Catholics and Protestants throughout Germany used these symbols to celebrate their Advent hope in Christ, the everlasting Light.
From Germany the use of the Advent wreath spread to other parts of the Christian world.
http://www.thehistoryofchristmas.com/trivia/wreaths.htm
Dating back centuries before Christ, cultures brought evergreen trees, plants, and leaves into their homes upon the arrival of the winter solstice, which occurs in the northern hemisphere between December 21st and 22nd. Although the specific practices were different in each country and culture, the symbolization was generally the same: to celebrate the return of life at the beginning of winter's decline.
http://www.christmastreehistory.net/pagan
The history of the Christmas tree is a rich religious genealogy of the ancient Nordic peoples of the windswept forests spanning Northern Europe, and the warm Victorian countryside of 19th century England. By evolving throughout the centuries from Norse pagan nature worship to Germanic Christian tradition and again to Victorian Christmas folklore, the Christmas tree finally found itself engendered within the contemporary Christmas icon of the Balsam fir Christmas tree. Though the Christmas tree today can be considered more the influence of Victorian craft lore, the spiritual forefather, a dark and haunting aged Evergreen, has his roots firmly fixed to the frozen soil of ancient Germanic mountain forests. The origin of the Christmas tree is a mysterious and timeless pagan legend.

She is such a fucking idiot.
I enjoyed reading your synopsis of our "Christian" traditions.
DeleteI am a happy pagan and I so enjoy the ancient traditions which all center on the solstices and equinoxes. The early Christians co-opted the timing of pagan rituals and traditions so that folks would transition to Christianity.
Those who didn't, were killed off in witch trials and holy wars. So very Christian, don't you think?
I doubt if Sarah even did a Wikipedia search for Christmas. Absolutely no research by our Sarah. She just knows it all. Actually she knows absolutely nothing at all. Those of us who happily celebrate Christmas, both as a religious time and a secular time know that there are thousands of wonderful and varied traditions for countries and cultures around the world. Most of us know when and where it is appropriate to say "Merry Christmas" and when and where a spirited "Happy Holidays" is more appropriate and we're not bothered by it. Only Fox News and their hanger-on, Sarah Palin, make a big deal about the one-sided war on Christmas they they have launched.

"nd thankfully there isn't a picture of Sarah dressed in Biblical garb participating in a nativity scene as the Virgin Mary. I would definitely GAG on that one."
DeleteOr, Valhalla forbid, Bitchtol, that little tramp down the street. Now THAT would be a hoot!
Yes, she is an idiot, but unlikely a fucking one - after all, who would want to fuck that?
DeleteChristmas has a very convenient time in the northern hemisphere - shortest day of the year -people back when has Seasonal Affective Disorder, too. wise shamans scheduled celebration to counteract.
Humanism wins again!!
Luke 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
ReplyDeleteSarah -- peace and good will to all men. That's the spirit of Christmas.
If you were more loving and forgiving, and demonstrated peaceful and loving behavior, then more people might decide to become Christians. But you make the religion seem like an ominous, angry cult that no one would want to explore.
Even Linus understood!!
DeleteSarah is very shallow. She doesn't think.
DeleteMost of us practice love and giving over the course of the entire year. Xtians seem to only be in that giving mood around xmas time.
DeleteNothing symbolizes Christ in Christmas better than a wreath which is a commercial offshoot of pagan origin
ReplyDeleteThank you! Grinch Granny Grifter was complaining about The Obama's Christmas card a few years back, and yet here she is writing a book about Christmas without Baby Jesus on the cover?!?
DeleteBwahahahahahaaha...classic Palin, do as I say, and not as I do. Next year she'll be writing about Hanukkah.
You're absolutely right, Anonymous 2:32 PM. Sarah DID have a major hissy fit over the Obamas' Christmas card, which contained more elements of Christmas celebration by far than does Sarah's book jacket. LOL!!! Another funny thing: I'll just bet that Sarah never sends out Christmas cards to anyone: too much work, doesn't want to spend the money, requires too much advance planning, not enough people to comprise a Christmas card list. JMO.
DeleteKudos Sarah. that disastrous title just rolls right off the tongue doncha know. When I googled Good Tidings and Great Joy all I got was results for Mormon videos and books. Shame you didn't pick something less overcooked, but I understand: the PAC apparently can't fund any level of creativity.
ReplyDeleteSadly, we all know that even if Scarah makes it into the $3 bin at Wal-Mart, she's still (unfortunately) making money. Her publisher will take a hit, but she'll be cackling because god knows those Palinistas are all about buying several copies for every damn member of the fucking family. Her books so far aren't even particularly good as wine coasters, much less reading material.
I thought the centerpiece of Christianty was the crucifixion and resurrection. There are Christians who do not celebrate the holiday because it is not biblical. Plus, she puts a wreath, a pagan symbol of renewal at the winter solistice, on the cover instead of a Christian symbol??? What a poor choice to prove her point.
ReplyDeleteMel68
You're right. Another epic FAIL.
DeleteI love the comment about the wreath having nothing to do with Christianity. Sarah's other book, American by Heart, has been released in paperback. Sarah chose a photo of her on horseback. The problem is that Sarah is riding on a Western saddle, and she shows that she is a real beginner, holding on to the saddle horn. She is also holding the reins all wrong. Two great books, two great covers. Way to go, Sarah.
DeleteWhat?
ReplyDeleteNo nativity scene on the cover with Sarah hovering over the baby Jesus?
No iconoclastic religious symbols?
Just a pagan wreath with some baubles?
C'mon Sarah, you're slipping on your Christian propaganda, aren'tcha? I was SURE you'd have some sort of Christian dog whistley image at the ready with Teavangelical overtones somewhere on it? Perhaps the baby Jesus swaddled in an American flag? Sure, that would work! And those wise men could be carrying AR-15s and have camouflage robes adorning them?
Or maybe pics of you shooting Rudolph for your family feast, standing over his bloody carcass with that sick, grisly grin you get when you kill something? Yeah, that's the ticket.
Well, at least we won't have to look at her Photoshopped mug on that cover, since you know it would have to be with the skanky way she's looking these days.
I think you're onto something! How she looks now? Ghastly!
Delete@1:20 Beldar?

DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteShe wrote a book about Christmas which is a Christian holiday. Seriously what do you people not get? You can say happy holidays all you want but its not going to change the origin of the day and why it is celebrated. Why don't you start your own fucking holiday and call it whatever the fuck you want and I can promise you I won't give a flying fuck. You don't want Christmas shoved down your throat? Well I don't want it taken away or called anything else to try and please a bunch of fuckers that don't believe in the true meaning of it. Get your own "happy holiday"
DeleteHey gimp, your christian holiday just happens to be the same day as our Holiday! Wow, what a coincidence, eh?
DeleteWe decorate trees, sing songs, exchange gifts and well, just enjoy each other's company.
What do you christians do to celebrate?
"Well I don't want it taken away or called anything else to try and please a bunch of fuckers that don't believe in the true meaning of it."
DeleteWow gimp, does "the true meaning" of your holiday include saying "fuck" as many times as you can in one comment? As an atheist, I try, all year, to be kind, fair and treat everyone with respect.
Maybe you christians should try that.
Get the gimp. Why are you here?? Its obvious you hate liberals so i don't really understand why you are engaging here. you have no idea, nor obviously the empathy to care, what it is like to grow up another religion, and to be told Merry Christmas non stop. I am never offended at all but I felt like an outsider. It's tough as a child.
DeleteNo one is taking Christmas away from you by asking you to be considerate and polite to people of other faiths. You can have all the Christmas you want. No one wants to stop you.
You know you are an incredibly rude and nasty individual. And incredibly narcissistic in that you think everyone should conform to your ideas and philosophies.
I don't care if Christians talk about Christ nonstop or about Christmas. But the ones like you gimp don't seem to give a damn if they offend others during the holiday season. Go celebrate Christ in your home, that's your prerogative but not in our malls, schools and every other place. There are many many non Christians out there and this is a country for all religions, isn't it?????

Maybe you "don't want it taken away or called anything else" because you want presents? Hmmm?
I do know the true meaning. I grew up poor and there were many years I didn't have presents under the tree. Those were the best ones because we celebrated being together and helping out at church by feeding the homeless. Don't think all Christians only celebrate to get presents. Sure it is a nice part of the day but a true Christian knows that it is more about giving then receiving.
DeleteThese right wing dominionist nutjobs have done their best to turn people away from religion. I used to have a basic belief in Christianity, but now I want nothing to do with it. When these fundamentalists die, God is going to ask them why they turned so many souls away from Him. The true job of a Christian is to bring people to Christ....not turn them away from Christ. Good job,Sarah and all your friends.

DeleteA few points for you to consider:
1. December 25th is NOT when Christ was born, moron.
2. Therefore, it really isn't a Christian holiday, is it?
3. Religion is a personal thing and should be KEPT PRIVATE unless you are asked to share your beliefs.
4. Many of us grew up poor.
5. Many of us are Christian, including me, however, I would never be so crass has to use the language you use, Hypocrite.

Get the Gimp @ 3:19 PM CORRECTION..."She" didn't write a book about Christmas. "She didn't write a book at all! Your hero, Sarah "Baldy" Palin, paid a ghost writer a small fee to write a Christmas book, for which she will take full credit and huge paycheck for doing absolutely no work at all! You can rant and rave about Christmas all you want but you should at least be honest with yourself. This is just another attempt from Baldy to fleece her fantards out of their hard earned money. Baldy doesn't give a crap about Christmas but she knows her loyal base of are evangelical FANTARDS and they will eat this shit up. Congratulations Gimp, you are a total rube, Merry fucking Christmas!! Hope you choke on a candy cane!!
DeleteWhen I explain my belief in Christ and faith in Christianity, I tend to not use the F-bomb multiple times and / or in various ways in the same paragraph. Its just not convincing. In fact, it confuses people; you know, waxing biblical but speaking as if you're a madam in a brothel in the same breath. Why, some would say its downright hypocritical!
DeleteMost Christians don't talk to others that way. I guess we're kinda funny that way, what with cussing being frowned upon and such...
So GIMP, it kinda confuses me when YOU are trying to explain YOUR earnest belief in Christianity here on the blog, and dropping F-bombs right and left, up and down and - well, you know... So I guess what I'm trying to say is this: are you trying to convince ME of the depth of your faith - or yourself?
Do you drop those F-bombs deliberately for their effect on the listener, or to intimidate? Or is it The Power of the Christ that compels you?
You know, kinda like LordyLinguistics or TestimentaryTourettes - aka speaking in tongues?
Stay Stupid My Friend.

See, as far as I am concerned, I am a Christian. But I do not wear that title on my sleeves.
DeleteAt the beginning of December, I start wishing everybody 'Happy Holidays', because, after all, it IS the holiday SEASON - for Christians as well as for many other religions.
Around December 20th or so, I will finally wish people a 'Merry Christmas' (unless i know they are of other religions), because THEN it is appropriate to say so.

Gag me with a spoon..this is why i do not do any holidays..
ReplyDeleteThat makes zero sense.
DeleteWhich title is it?
ReplyDeleteShe gives away the true intent of the book by the larger than life printing of HER name on the cover. Thought the book was supposed to be about Christmas not more Palin devil worship.
ReplyDeletejust what we need, some lunatic makin' up shit about her dysfunctional family's Christmas traditions. Hey sarah, we'll go hang out at the trailer park if we want to see how families like yours celebrate Christmas, k?

ReplyDeleteGetting Cray-Cray for God in Iowa – or Let’s Party Like it’s 2016
O Come all ye faithful…to Iowa. Yes, America’s religious bigots are all gathering in the Midwest to plot, once again, the downfall of American democracy and its replacement with corporate-sponsored theocracy (or is it theocracy-sponsored corporatism? I think the end result would be about the same).
Yes, Iowa is literally infested with God-thugs. You can’t shake a stick (or anything else) without hitting one. Though we’re three-years-plus out from Election Day 2016, the Iowa clown car is fast filling up with those jockeying to be in position to be in position when the time does finally come.
There’s sweater boy (Rick Santorum) and the guy Maureen Dowd calls “cretinous ” (Ted Cruz), who has been working extra hard to become an accepted part of the white-bread Evangelical base (because it’s okay to be from Cuba and not from Kenya), and Donald Trump, who has about as much chance of convincing Iowans that he is one of them as he does of convincing us that his hair is real.
They will all be at The Family Leader-sponsored Family Leadership Summit on August 10 (youth brainwashing will take place on August 9).
...Because, apparently, God likes really stupid people who don’t know how to take care of themselves.
Can I get an Amen?
These religious thugs have convinced themselves of this, and now they want to convince America. So once again Iowa becomes Ground Zero for dismantling the apparatus of government as established by the United States Constitution, which unhappily, established the anti-biblical principle that everyone – and every religion – is equal before the law.
...Remember, the Republican Party Platform in 2012 was written by religious thugs like David Barton who prefers fantasy to fact. The platform for 2016 is not likely to be any more reasonable and will probably be a lot less so. And that’s what the GOP is trying to sell in Iowa: catastrophic stupidity.
We’ll know soon just how many people think that’s a great idea. I promise you this: any Republican (with the possible exception of Chris Christie) will climb into that clown car for a shot at the presidency, however remote.
Because if you’re not stupid as dirt, you aren’t part of God’s plan for America.

What? They didn't invite Esther? She could have wrapped the bus and taken another road trip with Piper. Worn her 4" sandals in the dust again. Eaten a corn dog. Screeched about Jesus and patriots and embassies and the DNA. ERA. PoS ? In Iowa, no one cares if you make sense. Wonder if they're giving away those fetus dolls. Surely little KAyla would love one.
DeleteHas anyone -- anywhere -- seen a Paylin at a place of worship for years??? Arizona perhaps?
ReplyDeleteThe last sightng I am aware of was when $creech was with Pastor Witch Doctor Muthee years ago in gravel land (wasilla).
She went to a funeral in ALaska.
DeleteSarah and her family went to their church when they had an arson fire in 2008. Funny, only some papers seemed to have been burned in the fire. No harm, no foul.
DeletePalin was 'prophesied over' again this year from dominionist so-called prophets and apostles (including Patricia King, Sue Ahn, James Goll) who are affiliated with NAR, the same fringe christianist group as Pastor Muthee. This was a Women On The Front Lines event in the Phoenix area. I think Patricia King is headquartered in Maricopa.

Gimp the only person that needs to get a life is you!!! Luckily they are on sale at your local Walmart for $1.99. Why don't you stop stalking GinaM and run on down to the Walmart nearest you and purchase one ASAP!! Just don't tell Baldy you are spending that money on yourself and not donating that $1.99 to her PAC, she won't be happy about it at all!!!

Delete"After all hasn't Palin's motto always been; "Who Would Jesus Hate?""
ReplyDeleteNO - it's "What's in it for US?"
What no picture of granny dressed like Mary holding the baby Jesus? How do wreaths keep Christ in Christmas?
ReplyDeleteHow do wreaths keep Christ in Christmas? The same way that the tree and its decorations have anything to do with Christ's birth. The only thing that echoes the story in the Bible is the giving of presents, as the Magi, the 3 wise men brought gifts. The difference is that the Magi showed up 12 days later, not on Christmas Eve. In Latin American countries, gifts are given on the 12th night, the night that the Magi showed up, the Night of the Three Kings, January 6, not on Christmas, not under the tree, not from Santa.
DeleteI wonder if they'll actually be able to cram copies of that faux-festive, hardcover gunk in plastic capsules and into bubblegum machines all over the country?

wait a minute... read that topmost line of little text on the cover: "#1 New York Times Best-Selling Author"

how fitting.
I think that this should have been the image on Sarah's Xmas book: http://media.adn.com/smedia/2008/12/27/22/4135081.3687.original.aurora_standalone.prod_affiliate.7.jpg
ReplyDeleteThe photo shows Trig under the Christmas tree, wrapped up as the Gift from God.
Stocking Stuffer? Hardly !!
ReplyDeletePlus, I have enough kindling for the fireplace and toilet paper stocked in the cupboard, so have no use for The Ol' Grinch's ghost-written book.
OK, Sarah, you religious troll, let's see YOU and your family of freeloaders at a Christmas service.
ReplyDeleteStill "too busy"?
Haha Palin and her "people" are so stupid they got the quote from the KJV wrong:
ReplyDeleteLuke 2:10 "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people."
"Of great joy", not "and great joy."
What a bunch of idiots.
There are a whole bunch of books and other items at Amazon with the correct quote, "good tidings of great joy." Sarah had to change one word so that it isn't plagiarism. Besides, Palin doesn't read the Bible. A ghostwriter wrote the book for her.
DeleteSarah does NOT know what christianity is and what a christian is and who Christ is. If she did, the works she does, her acts, her tongue would all fall in line with Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteShe wouldn't judge, she wouldn't run for Office, she wouldn't abandon her small baby for a VP run, she wouldn't have worked away from her family so much and abandoned her teenage girls who needed her. She wouldn't have grifted and asked her fans to send and donate money to her SarahPAC. In fact, she wouldn't have relied on any donations. She wouldn't have lied to women's christian conferences, she wouldn't have lied to those who are filled with the Holy Spirit, if she were a true christian. Did she? I don't know, but she does know if she lied in the halls of those who worship Christ and where His presence is manifested where two or three are gathered in His Name. As a born-again christian, her testimony to believers would have had to be 100% accurate, or she would have lied to God in the presence of His church.
If she has not lied, she need never fear. But if she did, I would not want to be in her shoes.
The fake wreath on the cover is a nice touch. Nothing says 'Happy Birthday, Baby Jesus' better than a cheap plastic wreath.
ReplyDeleteThat write-up is really lame! Sounds like the intern wrote it, seriously!
ReplyDeleteAlso, the cover picture does nothing to promote an image of warmth, good cheer, etc. It already looks like the bargain basement books.
Yay!! THAT brings me good cheer!

Little birds are throwing up when they read Sarah's next lying, insufferable birdcage rag.
ReplyDeleteNotice how it's Always about her trifling, stankass..sarah palins AK now its sp Christmas.
This Christmas book must be serving as her segue into televangelism! She's basically used up all of her political celebrity, her PAC is hurting for donations, so Sarah is starting the next phase of her career, she's morphing into the next Tammy Fay Baker. Good luck with that Sister Sarah, be sure to invest in water proof mascara, you big fraud!!
ReplyDeleteGee thanks, $carahbBitch - the words "Merry Christmas" will NEVER, EVER again, pass my lips - it's Gud Yule all the way. and if anyone says "Merry christmas to me, I will be happy to remind them that ours is a pluralistic society and they really shouldn't make stooopid assumptions that everyone shares their delusions - it makes them sound as stooopid as ... "Sarah Palin."
ReplyDeleteYou want a war just so you can sell books, $carahbitch? Game on.
Just in time for the uber commercialized holiday known as "Christmas". Why is "Sarah Palin" the "Dominant" bold font and "Christmas blah blah blah" takes lower billing? Cause she's got a huge ego? Palinbots don't have good vision?
ReplyDeleteAlso, too, didn't she blow a fuse when the Obama Christmas card didn't have anything religious and Jesusy enough on it?
What super Jesusy woman slaps a Wreath on the cover of a book bitching about keeping Christ in Christmas?
She's just rubbing Christians errrr backs. "What in it for ME" keep the wreath in Wreathmas. I'm shocked she didn't put herself on the cover with a pair of wreaths covering the fake tatas and a big gulp in her hand. Oh, I guess she's waiting for the paperback version.
Yo Assclown, if you count your grandkids, one of them are missing in your "introduction".
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, What would Jesus say? Well, he was just born, so now we have to wonder what Mary and Joseph would have said.
ReplyDeleteThe WORST fucking thing I've EVER seen is the stupid "creche van" that parks at Wasilla Lake at xmas time. It's terrible in so many ways:
ReplyDelete#1 It's a van
#2 It's a van with a creche inside of it with a plexiglass window replacing one side of the van so that we can see the little baby jeebus.
#3 It's a van, down by the river (well, technically it's a lake, but still a creche in a van must even be weird by xtian standards?)
It shows up each year, in Wasilla; Little Baby Jeebus, in a Van, Down By The Lake. It's been our holiday card photo more than once.
I'm still not certain what group finds this to be worshipful rather than a pure mockery.
Any explanation of the fact that the book has two completely different titles on the Amazon page?
ReplyDeleteAnyone who is honest with themselves, like commenters here, know that the over-commercialization of Christmas exists. Did Sarah all of a sudden realize this now? Why wasn't she concerned as Mayor, or Governor of AK? Did she ever write editorials on the subject?
ReplyDeleteSarah, a true disciple of Christ, or an evangelist's job is to warn and correct the Church for......wait for it.........FREE. It was their duty and obligation to gently correct the church when it went off the beaten path. They did not PROFIT and write books to sell their message of correction. Also, their actions spoke louder than words. Most christians in North America know how to keep Jesus in Christmas and celebrate in their own ways. How do YOU know what goes on in the "little people's" homes? We have all mixed in pagan celebration with the highly disputable exact date of birth (25th December) of Jesus for decades. Read your history.
It's the church leaders' job to preach it on Sunday. It's the christians's responsibility to read scripture and apply it. It's the duty of believers to FREELY suggest (with LOVE, as scripture commands) to their families. Profiting monetarily from the Word of God is anathema. He gave His life freely. You can never take that away or try to twist it around to suit yourself and justify profiting to sell your wares for the Christmas rush, and stocking stuffers.
Most Americans I know, are concentrating on trying to make ends meet at the end of the month. Some, who are or aren't christians, take this very seriously. The "heart" of Christmas for these is cooking and working at shelters for the homeless and even inviting some in to their homes. Is this in any chapter of your book? Because if it isn't, then you've lost the 'heart' of Christmas.
The rich young ruler who wanted to know what more he could do, was answered by Jesus, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven' and come, follow Me."
