Festivus For What’s Left of Us
October 9th, 2005 at 9:23 pm by SmantixThe business casual terrorist sympathizers at CAIR are nothing more than al-Qaeda’s version of the ACLU. Intelligence agents at the St. Petersburg Times have uncovered their evil plot to assassinate Baby Jesus in The Sunshine State.
TAMPA – There may be no day off next school year for the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur. Also on the chopping block are vacation days for the Christian faith’s Good Friday and the Monday after Easter.
After considering a request to recognize a Muslim school holiday, the Hillsborough County School Board next week will discuss ending student days off on all religious holidays, whether they be Christian, Jewish or Muslim.
The only religious holiday not affected will be Christmas, which occurs during the school district’s winter break.
“From my initial look, it’s a good way to respect diversity of all faiths,” said board chairwoman Candy Olson.
Christmas is only spared because it falls during a pre-established “winter break”. How lawyerly. Yes, nothing expresses the egalitarian ethic of “respect(ing) diversity of all faiths” like the secular respecting of none of them.
Parent Joan Zaki, who lobbied board members for greater acceptance of Islamic holidays, said it was not her intent to have everyone’s holidays taken away.
“Muslims don’t need any more negative attention than we’re getting,” said Zaki, the only Muslim and dissenting member of the district’s calendar committee. “We were just trying to get equal treatment.”
Zaki and Ahmed Bedier, with the Council on American-Islamic Relations…
I dare to state the obvious. If you don’t want any more negative attention then why not just sip on a pipin’ hot cup of STFU rather than ruin everybody else’s vacation plans? Instead of just speaking with your local principal to work something out holiday wise, you sought to be a pain in the ass – mainly because you belong to CAIR and that’s what CAIR does.
I may not believe in god, but I’ll defend to the death all of our rights to sit at home with our dysfunctional families to watch football while carving a succulent turkey, a honey-glazed spiral sliced ham and a piece of pumpkin pie with a dollop of Cool Whip. That kind of god can pimp glad tidings unto me any old month of the year.
In related news, Kwanzaa is still a load of bullshit dreamed up by a coke-addled, woman beating convict. I am, of course, referring to it’s founder Ronald Karenga and not beloved Hollywood character actor / cock-diesel pornicator Tom Sizemore.

[...] Symatix from Six Meat Buffet has a post today referencing on one of our favorite Seinfield episodes – Festisus (a holiday that occurs immediately before Christmas time but that was created because tinsel bothered George’s Father – Frank. The celebration of Festivus is marked by having a aluminum pole in a tree stand and feats of strength – Happy Festivus to us ALL!! ) speaking out against the move in Hillsborough county Florida (Tampa) to eliminate all school holiday’s that are based on religious observance, be it Jewish, Christian or Muslim. Christmas will not get cut due it being in the midst of the predetermined winter school break. Full Story / Post here [...]

You can shit on Kwanzaa all you want, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to stand for any cheap shots at Tom “Holy Shit. I’m so fucked up I’ve been boning Heidi Fleiss” Sizemore.

Sarcastro, don’t forget, we have a rich kwanzaa-bashing history here at six meat.
