Seeing Red

On November 1, 2015 the day after Halloween America was greeted with Christmas Lay-A-Way commercials, shop early advertisements because Christmas is sooner than you think and an immediate listing of Christmas themed movies on Lifetime, Bravo, TLC and any other cable channel used to producing anything but entertainment. Somewhere around November 3rd or 4th Starbucks presented their seasonal plastic cups with shades of red and somehow a real war on Christmas ensued. On November 1, 2015 most retail stores removed any and all Halloween products or relegated them to the area of the store where cobwebs and derelict workers hang out, provided a few shelves for Thanksgiving and began to parade their arsenal of Christmas season stuff. Some radio stations in the Los Angeles metro area have begun to mix a few Christmas themed music into their line up and advertisements for all kinds of The Nutcracker Ballet are now on billboards. Somewhere on November 3rd or 4th Starbucks decided that fading shades of red; red being the color of the American Christmas season, was a great gesture to evoke some kind of “peace on Earth”, good will to men” theme and like other Capitalistic companies jumped the Christmas bandwagon way before Thanksgiving. And now it seems as is usual around this time of year but perhaps even a bit early for the Christian Crusaders, a RED line in the sand has been drawn, and those who believe Jesus died on the cross with a charge card in his hand, singing Christmas songs to himself, and who shouted Merry Christmas to the Romans a never ending War on Christmas has begun again! For many who pretend to read the Bible and only abridged versions of a FOX NEWS printed Constitution, Satan has begun his march on the minds and bodies of true believers and this Christian nation will rot and go to ruin because among the many horrible actions taken against Americans is to go to Starbucks and ONLY receive a red themed coffee plastic cup!


The poor will remain poor on Christmas Day, Many elderly without family will remain alone on Christmas Day. Food Banks pop up on Christmas Day but must turn away the hungry before and after. Women who need health care may have to ride hundred of miles on Christmas Day just to stay healthy. The homeless if not lucky enough to find a warm room will shelter under borrowed blankets or cardboard boxes on Christmas Day and maybe even be arrested for luxuriating on the property of a Corporations private property. The have’s will celebrate big on Christmas Day, the have nots will try to smile. The red cup of $5 coffee will be had by many but then many will be lucky to drink what ever is left over as it is tossed in a waste can. Somehow for those who pretend they know God, who insist Jesus is their personal Savior, they will argue that somehow a child born in a manger is nothing but pissed because Starbucks had the audacity to take Christ out of Christmas by dying their damn too expensive winter version plastic  coffee cup just RED! How pathetic, psychotic, and sick of a nation we have become.
