Have a Jolly Rantburg Christmas . . .
2004-12-24
Have a jolly Rantburg Christmas
Wherever you may be
Your local bar, or Peshawar--
Anywhere the wi-fi's free.

Have a jolly Rantburg Christmas
And when you're in the comment box
Say "Hello!" to friends you know
And give your populi some vox.

Oh, ho, the missiles go
Anywhere we see
Jihadis gathering;
JDAM 'em once for me!

Have a jolly Rantburg Christmas
Let's buy Fred a case of beer
Oh by golly, have a jolly Rantburg Christmas this year

Merry Christmas to Fred, the Army of Steve, and the whole Rantburg community.

Warmest Holiday Wishes,

Zenster

PS: I'm cheerfully making a $20 donation towards Rantburg this New Year. I will gladly let half of that money visit Fred's liver first. In fact, I insist upon it.

#38  Merry Christmas to you all... such a small, small world, this internet thingy, full of dear friends whom we have never actually met face to face...
We are in the middle of great things, my friends... great things, such things as will figure in histories yet to be written.
So, try to be becomingly modest, OK?

#21  Let me add my sincerest wishes for all good men and women everywhere who love freedom that you have a Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy, prosperous New Year. Thank you, Rantburgers, for informing me, entertaining me, and giving me a smile, every time I stop by! Special thanks to Fred for hosting this site, and for putting up with all of us rampant extroverts that visit. A case of beer isn't enough - I'm trying to talk Pete Coors into donating a whole week's run to Fred, but he's not listening too well...

#20  Bless 'em all
Bless 'em all
The long and the short and the tall
Bless all the sargeants and W-01s
Bless all the corporals and their blinking sons.....


I say God bless our military, who are on duty in far, remote, and nasty places in the world.
This year has been quite a ride. And I feel very thankful to Fred for putting this wonderful forum together for all of us to meet. I got a Christmas bonus, Fred, so you get one too. Take a look under your paypal tree.

#19  Merry Christmas to all Rantburgers and thanks to the editors for this wonderful source of knowledge and opinion. Merry Christmas and, God willing, a safe new year to our sailors, soldiers, airmen, and marines, in whatever dangerous places they may be; God bless and keep you.

#18  PR: you're welcome :-)

To all the amazing and wonderful Rantburgers, Merry Christmas and best of the new year to you. May we all do well, live well, and treat each other well.

To all Americans who will spend a cold night on duty tonight to keep the rest of us safe, a special thank you and God bless you.

#16  What everybody said, epecially Barbara :-D Merry Christmas to those many of you who celebrate it, and Happy Snow! to the rest of us! Especially those in the Midwest, who hopefully are stuck somewhere warm, with congenial company and lots of Xmas cheer. (JoeBlow, anyone who chooses to be offended by sincere good wishes deserves only the back of your hand, so long as you are equally sincere in wishing them well for their own celebrations -- and I haven't noticed any snideness on the subject from you. You're one of the many, many good guys here at Rantburg.)

#15  Merry Christmas everyone! And especially to those [rough men|women] who are now, or have been, away from their families during this time in order to insure that the rest of us can celebrate Christmas safe and warm and free.

Merry Christmas and God Bless you all.

#8  Merry X-Mas Everyone!

I might as well put this up here, for whoever reads it: Sunday I'll be driving to Austin to visit relatives, and then I'll probably do some sightseeing out there. If any of the Texas Rantburgers in Austin, San Antonio, Houston, or maybe points west (I haven't decided yet) want to go out for coffee, let me know; my email is on my web page, down and to the right.

#6  To the tune of White Christmas:

I'm blowing up a white Christian
Because the prophet told me so
With my bomb belt hidden
The children witness
Bloody bodies high and low

I'm dreaming of a dead Christian
With high explosive piety
May Allah make your days merry and bright
And may all you indifels ignite

#5  Merry CHRISTmas and a Happy New Year to everyone at RB. I thank God/Jesus for the invention of media, such as RB. I thank Steve White for not kicking me off. I know that I have tested you but, liberals pisses me off.

1. I pray for the Jewish people around the world who are being persecuted for their beliefs.
2. I pray for the Christians who are being persecuted and literally being crucified (in Africa) for their beliefs.
3. I pray that the Left-wing Jews and Christians recognizes the danger staring in their face.
