Is Santa a conservative?

According to this list, he must be. Here are a few of the 13 reasons.

1. Did you ever hear Santa wishing someone a “Happy Holidays?” No, for the man in red, it’s always “Merry Christmas” – no matter who it offends.
2. He lives in the North Pole – a tax haven with a zero percent tax rate – hardly a sign of someone who believes in government and wants to pay his “fair share.”
3. Santa’s whole mission is one of private charity. There are no records of the Santa Claus movement being given even $1 in public assistance. Santa epitomizes charity over welfare.
4. He is the sole employer in the area of huge amounts of unskilled elves. Does anyone really believe they are getting minimum wage? They certainly aren’t getting $15 an hour as the unions demand....
11. The naughty or nice list also shows an objective moral compass. Santa apparently rejects liberal relativism or explaining away bad behavior with pop psychology and ‘culture’ issues.
12. His love of cookies and large stomach shows a blatant disregard for Michelle Obama’s healthy eating program, as it encourages children to believe that eating vast quantities of cookies is perfectly acceptable. If he were a liberal, he’d be asking for broccoli and cranberry juice....

No, No, No: Santa and helper face possible charges in Poland for drunk driving horse-drawn sleigh

This is so wrong...

Via Breitbart:

Witnesses said the 51-year-old Santa and his 31-year-old female helper were both visibly drunk as they rode a horse-drawn sleigh down a busy road in Ustrzykach Dolnych and they were thrown from the vehicle when a car horn spooked their horse, the British newspaper the Mirror reported Monday.

"It reared up and sent them smashing into the wall on the corner of the street," said witness Zdzislaw Molodynski, who caught the incident on camera.

"It was a mixture of 'Ho, ho, ho' and 'No, no, no,'" he said.

"Technically, they were drunk while in charge of a vehicle on the road," the spokesman said. "We are looking at pressing charges."

PPP: 44% think Santa is a Democrat...

And they think his real name id Barack Obama...

Via Public Policy Polling:

PPP’s new holiday season poll sees voters in giving moods towards both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney – voters believe both men will be receiving presents from Santa this holiday season rather than a lump of coal, with Romney perhaps getting some sympathy presents. Voters say Romney will get presents by a 63/37 margin compared to 51/49 for Obama. Some other findings:

- 44% of respondents said Santa was a Democrat while 28% say he is a Republican.

- 54% of voters said they were concerned that the looming “fiscal cliff” could cause Santa to cut back on his benefits.

- More voters than not (47/40) say there is a “War on Christmas”.

Sad: U.N. Ad Depicts Santa Claus As Villainous Character Favoring The Rich

I don't do Unicef.

Demo Sen. Robert Menendez writes Santa out of concern for global warming

This is a real cheap shot. A sitting US Senate is invoking fear for Santa's safety to shill for global warming.

Dear Santa Claus,

I am writing out of concern, because you may have to move from the North Pole due to the dramatic melting of Arctic sea ice. The Navy's chief oceanographer says that by the summer of 2020 the North Pole may not have summer ice and other scientists project that an ice-free Arctic is possible as soon as 2012!...

I am worried about your safety and your ability to deliver billions of Christmas gifts if the ice cap on the North Pole no longer stays frozen all year. What will happen to your house, your workshop, the elves' houses and your reindeer barns?

Santa Banned From Head Start Classes

Santa Claus has been banned from some head start classes in Minnesota this year. You can guess the reason. It is fear of offending Muslims again.

(MinnPost)- Santa Claus, as portrayed by Dennis Jackson, won’t be visiting students at the Head Start classes in St. Peter this year.

Jackson has made appearances the past four years at the classes for students who need help preparing for school, but this year officials said, “No, no, no.”

The reason: The classes have many immigrant children who don’t celebrate Christmas, says the Mankato Free Press.

Santa’s a little frosted, the paper says.

West Village YMCA dumps Santa for Frosty

Apparently, Santa isn't secular enough anymore. A NY West Village YMCA has dumped Santa for Frosty the Snowman. I doubt the kids will understand.

(NY Post)- He’s a lost Claus.

A politically correct West Village YMCA has fired Ol’ St. Nick in favor of Frosty.

Kids who once thrilled at sitting on Santa’s lap at the 14th Street McBurney YMCA’s wildly popular annual holiday luncheon will now suffer the icy embrace of a talking snowman and his sidekick, an anonymous penguin, at today’s event.

Forget about bringing a list or checking it twice — Frosty doesn’t take gift requests, and doesn’t care if you’re naughty or nice.

YMCA officials, who say they are in the midst of “rebranding” the Young Men’s Christian Association to “The Y,” defended their decision.

Democrat Rep. Nick Rahall: “To Deny Global Warming Exists is Like Saying Santa Claus Doesn’t Exist”

Note to Democrat Rep. Nick Rahall: Your parents should have told you years ago, but Santa Claus really doesn't exist. Is that "real" enough for you?

The American Spectator reported:

So Congressman Nick Joe Rahall (D-WV) made a rookie mistake (for a guy who has been around as long as he has). He went off-prompter. And here is what he delivered:

“Climate change – to deny it exists, to just put your head in the sand and, ‘oh no, it doesn’t exist, what are you talking about,’ is about like standing on the floor of Macy’s during the month of December and claiming Santa Claus doesn’t exist. Come on, get real.”

Rep. Nick Rahall should borrow one of President Obama's spare teleprompters.
