Christians and secular Americans in general celebrate some form of Christmas. The proper statement is "merry christmas". It is not an insult to anyone. Where did you get the insane idea that people are using it to insult others ? | ||||

The right to bear arms is the right to join a militia, which the government fails to set up properly | ||||
