We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. From the US Constitution.. Its from the Declaration of Independence you foolish person.  You are not allowed to quote anything without knowing what the hell it is.  I just noticed that haha how do you copy and paste something without knowing what it is? was reading it wondering why the h e double hockey sticks it was posted here anyway...then I read "US Constitution" and bahahaha...is someone taxing your sugar and stamps love? |

back to school for you grasshopper
AND what does the US Constitution/Declaration of Independence have to do with Christmas? |
|

think about it.....tha DOI was completed in 1776....the constitution was 1791.
DOI, was a general statement of how this new nation should work.... By 1791, it was decided that there was a need for something more specific, to base things from...the ideas for the constitution were derived from the DOI..... |

I think this thread is in bad taste.
we all come from different backgrounds not everyone celebrates as you do and I am in no way offended if someone wishes me Happy Holidays versus Merry Christmas I'm just happy they're wishing me well it is ignorant to ask a vendor of any kind recognize only one religion. for all you know the owner of that establishment is Jewish would you be less offended if they said Happy Hanukkah? |

DOI, was a general statement of how this new nation should work.... WRONG as wrong can possibly be the Declaration of Independence was just that it was formal notice to King of England that the colonies were severing ties to the throne. not some kind of philsophical treatise. It was basically a declaration of war stop posturing and pontificating and actually read what it says |

back to school for you grasshopper AND what does the US Constitution/Declaration of Independence have to do with Christmas? must not have read where I posted this....I said then that it has little to nothing to do with the OP. What I find funny, is that the same people who THINK they know so much are the ones who are being fooled by this crooked government... What the people need to realize, is that we need to be fighting them instead of each other.... time for a new gov.... |

I am offended by none of it.....that is the point....why should Merry Christmas offend anyone? OH fvckin' wah wah wah wah, they are prejudice because their WORDS offend me.....that is how stupid it all is... |

We will HAVE a new gov in Jan....thank goodness!!!!
|

yeah....whatever.......for the most part, I respect other people boundries.......and their beliefs..... But I think it is BULLS*IT, when stores feel the need to cater to UNAMERICAN WAYS IN AMERICA.... Screw the "happy holidays" crap.... It was founded as CHRISTMAS....not HOLIDAY. other cultures may believe in something other then CHRISTMAS....but IN AMERICA WE HAVE CHRISTMAS... if you live in America....you should respect the culture of OUR ways....as americans should do in other countries.... With that being said....  MERRY CHRISTMAS.....And a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see it this way. If a store feels the need to be objective and cover all holidays with "Happy Holidays" so be it. That's there way of making everyone happy. but when I say it back I can say whatever I please. And I do. ((((((((((((((( MERRY CHRISTMAS )))))))))))))) it is. What I think's funny .. you go into stores pushing for sales and putting up Christmas decorations to get people in the spirit .. and what is playin over head? You got it ........ CHRISTMAS CAROLS  and no one can take the lyrics out of those. Just try.  I think the whole big deal is ridiculous. Everybody wants to celebrate their happy days

Exactly. And it is a historic document, not a constitutional one. We are not governed by the Declaration of Independence. It was drafted and sent off to the King of England and we were formerly declaring our independence. It was high treason and these Founding Fathers were scared sh1tless. It was punishable by death. You need remedial civics. |
