Score one for the opposition in the War on Christmas. This phone call to C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal” was the first thing I heard after I turned on the teevee this morning. The Senate had just passed its version health-care reform when Bunny, a right-wing drama queen from Parson, Kansas, phoned in:
BUNNY: Good morning. Yes, I am… very much. I’m so disappointed. I have taken my Christmas tree down. I’ve taken my Christmas wreath off my house. I’ve taken all the lights down. This is supposed to be a nation under God, and it isn’t. They have absolutely ruined Christmas for all the senators and representatives that are supposed to be under God. This is God’s holiday for the birth of his son…
C-SPAN’s Peter Slen: So you took down your Christmas tree because of the Senate health-care bill?
BUNNY: I certainly did, and I would like to see every light in the nation go out — especially in the White House. This is just ridiculous.
C-SPAN: Why are you so opposed to it, Bunny?
BUNNY: Because it is so divisive between my son — who is younger — and myself. And in many families it’s that way. Either it’s genocide on the seniors with this hospice — that’s never supposed to be supported by federal or state money. They are not-for-profit organization [sic] that Germany has even kicked out.
who says this person is a teabagger? (which is an offensive terminology) I didn’t hear or see others express this viewpoint or take down their Christmas decorations when the health care legislation passed. This seems like an isolated or rare case.
