Fiery Scrooge Trashes Christmas in CA

As Wonker was getting ready to leave on his Christmas week sojourn to the South, he chanced to notice this story on Fox:

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — A man used flammable liquid to light himself on fire, apparently to protest a San Joaquin Valley school district's decision to change the names of winter and spring breaks to Christmas and Easter vacation.

The man, who was not immediately identified, on Friday also set fire to a Christmas tree, an American flag and a revolutionary flag replica, said Fire Captain Garth Milam....

Kern County Sheriff's Deputy John Leyendecker said the man had a sign that read: "(expletive) the religious establishment and KHSD."

On Thursday, the Kern High School Board of Trustees voted to use the names Christmas and Easter instead of winter and spring breaks.

Nice language, eh? Guess that's the way the left spreads Christmas cheer these days in out-of-control California.

Once again, we see the adolescent spirit of leftists hard at work in the never-ending attempt to destroy all vestiges of the Christian religion in the United States. The apparent goal: to replace our God with the bust of Karl Marx, all the better to assure that European intellectuals remain our friends.

Raw, unfettered anger and emotionalism; reason supplanted by the dialectic; and pure, seething hatred toward the Other. These are the hallmarks of the American left today, as amply illustrated by this intentionally theatrical act of violence and contempt, intended to further diminish our cultural connection to our Judeo-Christian heritage. No wonder the left finds the Islamofascists so sympatico. All the more reason for us to keep the pressure up to return the names of traditional holidays from their secularist transformations, thus restoring the original intent.

The lefty protestor, BTW, suffered only limited 1st degree burns. It would be interesting to see if this "flammable liquid" was gasoline, or the kind of far safer concoction Hollywood uses for movie stunts, which would indicate a greater degree of cynicism than this story is reporting.

The left never gives normal Americans a moment of peace, even at Christmas. Unbelievable.
